STANDING STILL.

Believers in the evolutionary prog ress of mankind assuredly will shiv- CT lance with Dean Inge, fellow of Hartford College, who delivered re- gently the Romances lecture at Ok, ford says the Commercial Appeal. He had for his thesis "The Idea of Pro- 9ress," but in his exposition of the idea @he took occasion to deny that there had been any real upward ad- vancement of the human race. To his mind the struggles of mankind have been in vain, for he insists that sthe present race of men are no bet ter either in physical vigor and beauty or in intellectual strength than their ancestors who lived in the early morn of mundane time.
 Dean Inge insists that the Cros rnagnon race, which lived probably 10000 years ago, was the equal of modern man in size and strength. The ancient Greeks, he says, were more handsome and even the Zulus were not our interiors in personal pulchritude and charm. The beaux and bellies ot our day, of course, will resent this unkind reflection on themselves, but we hardly think they will pursue any historical investigation to disprove it
 There can be no question that oui modern intellectuals will reject thu statement of this antievolutionist II which he says that the men of th' stone age were our equals in brair power. He insists that we are not su perior to the Romans, and, in fact, ar' inferior intellectually to the ancien Greeks. Whether he be right O. wrong, we are certain he will not b. convincing, because he will not b. able to reverse the self-esteem of th' present generation of men.
 To those who will take Dean Ing very seriously, it should be even nor disheartening to know that he doe not think that the race has degenc rated. It is his view that we hav nothing to hope for in the way of i'm provement and nothing to fear in tn way of deterioration. In other words we will preserve dead level statu both physically and mentally. Thi conclusion of our intellectual stand batter, we feel sure, will be the mos keenly contested of all. No one want to stand still. Mobility is the hop and inspiration of every man. Hu mans might even become reconciled t going backward, because then the, would have hope of arresting tn movement and turning it in the oppo site direction. But to remain stolid ly stationary would be the agony o agonies. Dean Ingle will have fc' followers because few can or will con ceive lifeless world.

GOVERNOR ISSUES
PARDON TO HATTON
Last of "Cold Check" Artists Is
Now Free-Judge Writes of
Legal Aspect of His Case

Gov. Morrow Saturday granted a
pardon to Coy Hatton, one of the Lex
ington men engaged in. the s'cold
checking" game here several months
ago, and the only one of the quartet
who was convicted and went to the
pen. The pardon came as result of
the Court of Appeals decision that
Hatton should not have been tried on
the cold checking charge until after
the 20 days of grace given by the law
in which to make checks good had ex-
pired. And then, it seems, he should
have only been given year under the
law, as the highest court interprets
it. His pals in the little financial
venture all "came clear" with fines,
after the appellate court had passed
on their cases.
Judge Shackelford wrote a letter
about the matter to the Governor,
stating that it was the first time in
his life that he had done such thing
and he did it in this case only from
a legal standpoint, as the states high
est court had held that Hatton should
not have been sent up for so long a
term. Attorney A. r. Burnam went
over and secured the pardon for his
client, who has served about nine
months for his crime, and has un-
doubtedly had the lesson we'll i'm
pressed upon him.

use of officers and crew of foreign
ships while inside the three-mile
limit. The ruling, it is taken, al
SO applies to guests aboard ships
in the harbor.
Ships under foreign charter
nearly all carry the red wine OF
Spain and Italy for rationing out
to officers and men. Under pre-
vious ruling Of the treasury de-
partment, this stock of ships
wine was placed under dock and
key while the vessel remained in
side the three-mile limit. Repre-
sentations by foreign govern
ments, however, caused a reversal
of the decision. 1t was pointed
out that shipping agents woulo

such a course was persisted in
The wine, it was said, was con
