WHY RACES ARE DIFFERENT
Men of Science Say Physical Peculiar
tiles May Be Accounted for by
Functional arrangements.

Discussing the differences that dis
tinguish the AngIo-Saxon from the
Chinese, or the negro, Prof Arthur
Keith recently explained that the key
to the problem is to be found through
studying the disturbances and disor-
ders that occasionally affect the
development and growth of the human
body, especially those due to a func-
donal arrangement of one or more Of
the glands of internal secretion-the
pituitary, thyroid, adrenaI and other
glands. In some manner not yet IN
derstood, the functions carried on In
these glands regulate not only the d.
mansions Of the body. but also the
shape and size of each individual part
The racial features Of the Mon
goliaH type are initiated by growing
Europeans who are affected by def
cheney disorders of the thyroid gland.
The features OF the negro can best
be accounted for by the nature of the
growth-reguIating mechanism conferred
in the thyroid and suprarenal glands.
European features are connected with
a dominance in the functions OF the
pituitary.

A ETHOUGH William Henry Har-
dency as the log-cabin candidate, in
the first Of our frenzied. parading cam
paigns, he was born to one OF ''the
first families OF Virginia" In a manor
house on the banks of the aristocratic
James. AS a son Of Benjamin Har-
risOn, signer Of the Declaration, with
the blood Of POcahontas in his veins,
and as a descendant Of a Cromwellian
colonel who signed the death warrant
of king, no president has had a
longer, more historic lineage.
In ability William Henry Harrison
fell below the standard Of his prede-
cessors. He was elected not because
he was a great statesman or a great
soldier, but because he was thoroughly
representative of the new West, which
was f1attered TO see in the White House
for the first time a man created in its
own image.
At Harrison's Inauguration the
presidency entered an eclipse and
was held for 20 years by secondary
characters, who reigned, but did not
rule. With men of the eminence Of
Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Ben
ton, latterly Cass and Houston, Doug
las and Davis, Case and Wade. Sew
ard and Sumner in the senate, dis
tinctiOn and leadership passed from
the White House to the capitol 1t
was an ignoble period in our politics
when both parties were lodging the
irrepressible issue of slavery.
In the teeth of piercing northwest
wind, the old farmer president-elect,
bareheaded and disdaining the protec-
ton of an OvercOat, rode horseback to
the capitol. After addressing a great
crowd that shfvered in its shawIs and
furs, he insisted, though haIf-frozen.
on remOunting his horse and leading
the inaugural parade.
No sooner was the first Wing presi-
dent in the chair than the claims of
factions and the clamor for patronage
assailed him. Clay had declined
cabinet hOnors-and Iabors--in the
confident expectation of playing the
easier and more powerful role of the
power behind the throne. The i'm
perious manner of the Great Com
moner wounding the presidential
pride, he was requested to make his
calls at the White House as infre-
quent and inconspicuous as he con-
veniently could. Thereupon his total
absence became embarrassingly con-
spicuous.
The one clear mandate of the cleo
ton of 1910 was to turn out the Demo
Gratis and give the jobs to the Wings.

he had fancied the familiar odor.
Then he laughed at himself and began
to ride down his fear He passed
around the little pond where autumn
had touched the shrubbery and given
a drier music to it's rustling. Beyond
this was a barred gate in the wall.
Lexington drew it back, glanced once
at the dark house on the hill, and
emerged upon the street.
More than three score years before,
Stephen March had faced the West.
4 boy of seventeen, he had taken the
prairie-wagOn trails to San Francisco,
and here he had heard strange stories.
Seamen blew upon the flame in his
young heart. when they told of Cathay
and the Indies. Stephen would stride
along the board walks, elbOwing the
world and rubbing in his buckskin
pocket the gold that meant nothing to
him except the unlocking of life.
Often his long knees rubbed the table
in a certain saloon where he could
drink the wine of Dsungaria, and
once, as the slow rich blaze crept into
his veins, some one spoke of the Cobb.
1t seemed then he remembered many
things he had never known. He went
next day to the same table, and the
next, but could not find the man who
had spoken. He almost believed that
the wine itself had whispered to him,
but now the deepest cup was mute.
Stephens ears were shut to the
cries of gold. The Mormons. with
solemn words and maidens, could not
detain him. Adventures from Spain
drew him into their plans of raid, but
he failed their appointments. There
was a call to him from across the
shining bay, and beyond. In the wet
shops the discussion of yerba buena
was nothing to him until a Swedish
captain rOared from out his thirst a
comparison with the good herbs Of
Asia, making pointed reference to the
poppy and the hemp-resin, also to the
magic kOresh. Stephen March went
with the Swedish captain.
NumberIess ,sailing-ships had anchor
ed in the bay, many of them forever.
Their crews had scented gold in the
hills, and their decks were deserted.
Perhaps the red and shouting Swede
was glad of the boys homage. Ger
tainly it was good business to ship
him.
