"RECOGNITIONsI IN PHILOSOPHY
EXPLAINED BY SPEAKER.

EXPLAINED BY SPEAKER.
Speaking on "Recognitions in
Philosophy" Henry Farquhar at a
recent meeting of the Society for
Philosophical Inquiry explained the
title as signifying conclusions bv
the second figure of the syllogisfn.
corresponding to deductions" by
the first figure and to "inductions"
by the third.
The essential function of the
second figure in recognition or
Identification, as in analysis and In
sense-perception generally, had been
clearly shown by the late William
I. Harris, chief among the founders
of the society, in his Psychologist
Foundations of Education said
Mr.. Farquhar. .'As admitted by DR..
Harris. however, this recognition
syllogism is not coSent, but shows
a possibility and not a necessary
truth"
The ailment that rendered it in
valid" the speaker pointed out, was
reasoning from an "undisputed
middle" or assuming something
proved for a part as true for the
whole. Thet weakness of recogni-
tion reasoning. like that of inddc-
tive reasoning. needs to be sup
ported by assembling a number of
corroborating cases leading to one
result.
To confirm his view that systems
of philosophy particularly that of
Hegel. were, largely based on rea-
soning of this kind, in cases not
admitting of such needed support.
the speaker read several passages
from the 14tn cnapter of the Logic
of Hegel." also by DR.. Harris, in
which "recognitions" appeared
Hegei's logic is proof against even
the reductio ad absurdum,, and is
not refuted by discoveries like this,
said Mr.. Farquhar, nevertheless its
lack of demonstration, either de-
ductive or experimental, seems
worth noting.

NEW RICE AND COTTON
SEEDS HERE FROM SLAM

seeds of number of unusual
plants were recently received at the
local quarantine station of the To-
cal Department of Agriculture. from
J. +, Rock, one of the department
explorers in Siam. Among these are
black-kerneled rice which is said
to be extensively eaten by the ma
hves of Siam. and another is a
brown-tlnted cotton, not hitherto
known in this country. The seeds
will be propagated in the plant de-
tention station. to. guard against
spreading any lurking plant disease
which may have clung to them, and
the second-generation seed will be
tested out in various parts of the
United States.

Here is something that some of the
readers may not have heard Of: M
miral Sims tells us the Irish were
pro-German, on a certain paE" "i

he writes (this is from Tho Vic

RARE INTERNAL PARTS
OF FOSSILS DESCRIBED.

. When the animals Of bygone days
left their remains behind as KEYS
to the past existence of the earth,
usually only the exterior skeleton
is preserved for geologists to find
and analyze. Out in the Rockies of
British Columbia DIR. Charles d.
Walcott. secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution, has found some
Cambrian crustacea in which the
internal or soft parts were pre-
served. These he has studied and
described, and added to his previous
work. that has earned for him the
name of being the highest authority
on fossils Of that period.

The universities of the Czecho-
Slovak Republic are in need of lit

published in 1914, which they find IL
difficult to obtain because of the low
foreign exchange values. They have
appealed to their American COL
leagues for all possible help in. this
direction. and DR.. A. Hrdlicka, Ma

Judge Landis acted on his feeling
that the bank had sinned against

clerk had sinned against the bank
by sending the clerk home. while he
took time to think the case over
and decide finally what to do about
the sentence. He invited criticism
by thinking out loud" in court; be-
ing somewhat belligerent by nature,
the threat of Impeachment by a
Senator from South Carolina will
probably cause his honor to stand
pat and young Carey will not 60 TO

The details of the case make the
judges conduct rather more defen-
sible. The clerk took the money
from the bank. but within twenty
four hours repented. told his mother
and promptly gave himself up 10
the sheriff. The bank did NOT lose a
dollar. The lads record had evil

and plainly concluded that he was
not wild or vicious, but had simply

tion. And 50. Carey, go home" was

The criticism that counts does moi
turn on the somewhat fippant re-
marks of which Judge Landis is in
the habit of delivering himself. He
has an appetite for cheap notorIety
that might pass without comment
in a Police Court Judge. On tn,

his acceptance, while a United
States district Judge, of a large
salary as supreme baseball arbi-
traitor that he has been exposed to
sharp attacks in the House and else

of over $5e,oe0 a year for his sery-
ices by outside interests that can
not be reconciled with the require

Judge Landis's good taste and
good judgment. might be impeached
in a court of criticism. The at
tempt to impeach him for high
crimes and Inisdemeanors, is, of
course, ridiculous. 1t is proper 70
say. with all respect for his posi-
tion on the bench, that he betrays
certain ad captandum quality.
The serious objection to him, how
ever. apart from any decisions of

a Federal Judge ought not be a

The scheme seems to have been we'll
thought cut and agreed to not only
by the government, but by all Aus

sacrifices involved. 1t looks like real
effort to get Central Europe back on
stable economic footing, which, If
successful, may be as important as a
turning point as the settlement Of the
German rcparations problems.
There are two big difficulties in the
way. One is the fact that the scheme
was Matched by the league, and con-
sequently may be disliked on your side
and lack American support, owing
to the condemnation of the league.
The second danger is the political in
trigue mentioned above, as one con-
dition essential to the scheme is the
surrender of liens on Austrian assets
by nations with claims on reparations
and food credits accounts. 1t is obvious
that this concession is unlikely to be
made to further political intrigues by
the governments interested, but if this
danger can be removed and the scheme
started quickly and successfully it's
beneficial effects will be of almost in
calculable good.

CLAIMS, exolaiSs this action as follows:
The sudden and unprecedented fall
ing OFF of sales in the autumn of 1920
left the company with an increased

IS reflected in corresponding increase

The management of the business
was changed in September, 1919. I'm
portant savings in overhead expenses
and Improvement in matters of organi
1,non were affected during 1920. The
slump IN business, however, came too
quickly to enable the company to reap
the benefits thereof or to protect itself
against the consequently swollen IN

The personnel of the committee rep

Hubert c. E. Mitchell. R. /. Barr. E
A. Potter jr., Samuel Vauclain, Alfred

country districts, because the farmers
were unable to pay the wage level ex-
acted by statute, except to highly
skilled workers, with the result that
there was no chance of employing un-
skilled workers who had lost other
jobs and would have taken farm work
for time.
Cut Unemployment Allowance
Another measure just decided unon
is the reduction of the level of the un-
employment allowance owing to the
exhaustion Of the unemployment fund
through heavy payments to those
thrown into idieness in other indus
tries by the coal strike. This reduc-
ton, although it will cause much hard
ship among workers, is likely to have
a salutary effect by bringing home the
fact that the country cannot indefinite
ly support B large part of the popula-
ton and that industry must produce If
the workers wish to obtain comforEa-
Hopes have again revived of settling
the coal dispute owing to the govern
ment's threat to withdraw its offer of
910,000,000, provided at the taxpayers
expense, to relieve miners unless a sat
tlement was reached by the end Of the
coming week. The government now
seems at last really determined to Sc
cure economy, and if labor can be per-
suaded that it's own comfort depends
on active production instead of con-
stant hindrance there is good hope of
prompt recovery.
There is much loose talk about
dwindling government revenues, but the
decline is largely due to smaller sales
of war stores compared to a year ago.

LONDON, June 12.--There are some
signs of improvement in the European
position, although contrary indications
are still plentiful. The threat of war
between Greece and Turkish nationals
arouses only disgust among the war
weary peoples, and British public opin-
ion is against being involved in sup
porting alleged Greek designs on Con-
stantinopie.
Politicians apparently are still un-
able to realize the strength of the de-
sire Tor peace among q great majority
of reasonable folk. There is some
danger lest even the scheme for res
toration of Austria be used as a politi-
cal weapon for obtaining French and
Italian domination there instead of a
genuine effort to put Austria on a firm
economic footing with proper repre-
sentation of neutral interests, so that
Austria may develop her recovery
along the line of least resistance.
Exhaustive examinations under the
direction of the League of Nations are
said to show considerable hope of re-
covery if internal reforms are carried
out involving an internal loan, budget
equilibrium through the abolition of
food subsidies and reduction Of the
number Of state officials and employees.
External assistance is also needed in
foreign subscriptions to new bank
capital and temporary foreign credits,
followed by foreign loans to be secured

SELLING SYRUP.

Mr.. E. F.. Webb has probably TAX
en- more interest than any merchant
in Coyington in finding a market for
tie products Of the farm. He is now
selling syrup in cans, making small
shipments, and he has found that it
S an important matter to have the
cans labeled. In fact, it is a brand
that in a certain degree serves as an
advertisement. The lack of adver-
tising is the greatest handicap that
confronts the man that attempts TO
sell st. Tammany syrup. Nobody
seems to know anything about it.
One merchant, after trying out 120
gallons, writes that the syrup should
be labeled so that customers may
know they are buying the same syrup
that gave them satisfaction. Mr..
Brementor, of Washington, as re-
suit of the advertising given the
syrup by a former nurse Of Mande-
Vile, a sister-in-law of Mr.. Braun,
writes for two crates; and as re-
suit of labelling 25 crates or $50
gallons have been sold.
IAN important thing to remember
in Grating, said Mr. Webb, lis box
ing instead of Grating the syrup. It
saves just. half the freight rate.
