to a period at which the latest animals o.
the Diluvium still existed. Later, the era
mum and bones were recognized definitely
as representing. in q normal and charsc-
teristic way, a most interesting earlier
phase or variety Of mankind.
The long and other bones Of the skeleton
show many features of anthropologich in
feriority, demonstrating plainly that not only
the skull but the whole body of the Neander-
thai man occupied 4 lower evolutionary
stage than that of any normal human being
of the historic times.
ONLY one conclusion is left to the anato-
" mist or anthropoIogist: while individ-
ually and jointly the various parts of the
Neanderthal skeleton represent a human
being already far advanced above the an
thropoid ape. they are still in many respects
decidedly more primitive in form-that is,
on lower scale Of evolution-than the
skull and bones Of any man of today.
Another exceedingly valuable contribution
to science was the discovery on the island
Of Jersey of twelve human teeth belonging
to Pleistocene man. The teeth are in an
exceedingly good state of preservation, only
broken
away; all are probably of the same set and
their characteristics are such that the an
cient man they represent must have ranked
anthropologically as one of the most primi-
tive yet discovered.
feature in which the Jersey teeth differ
radically from modern teeth is their e1traor-
dinarily stout roots. The diameters of the
neck and roots of the Jersey teeth are al
most equal to and in some cases exceed those
Of the crown, indicating that relatively
great requirements were made on the
teeth by the quality and possibly also the
quantity of the food. Such roots indicate
unmistakably strong muscles Of mastication
and stout massive lower jaw, probably
somewhat smaller but scarcely less powerful
than the earlier Mauer mandible.
The roots Of the Jersey teeth are not only
stout, but they are also to a large extent
fused. This is not an anthropoid ape fea-
ture, for in the higher apes these roots are
we'll apart. The fusion. is due to great
development of the dentine and cement Of
the roots. brought about in this early man
by a changed manner of mastication. char
aeterized BY more lateral besides vertical
movements of the lower jaw. The Jersey
teeth, scientists have concluded, constitute
another valuable document of mans ances-
try; they show an early man, probably an
earlier representative Of the Neanderthal
type, already quite advanced in denture from
the prehaman forms, but still with teeth
much more powerful as well as less specific
ally Differentiated than those Of present man.
One OF the most interesting, best authen-
ticated, and now best known skeletons of
early man is that of .'the fossil man of La
Chapelle- Aux Saints found in a cave near
the village Of La Chapelle- Aux. Saints in
southern France. In this cave was discov-
cred rectangular cavity which lodged the
fossil human skeleton. The depreasioa was

IS THE LAW lMPOTENT?

The good citizens of the county are beginning to
seriously ask whether not the law is mpoent to stop
the almost open sale of liquor; whether or not the law
less have control of affairs.
The men and women who have hoped that the pro-
hibon law would protect them in the peaceful pursuits
of their affairs becoming pessimsc and are wonder
ing why is that the law is brazenly deed Some as
sert and with apparent ground for assertion that it is
easier for the men who drink TO get liquor than when the
saloons were open
There is no fault in the law The fault is in the
forcement. The situation is becoming acute. There
is even talk of vigience committees to take the law in
their own hands Conditions are becoming intoerable
The law can be enforced if those whose duty it is to
enforce it make the proper efforts.
Friday night there a drunken orgie in town that
kept probably half of the citizens awake and alarmed
until past one O'Clock in the morning The Courier is
withholding any comment on this nights revel
until it sees if the local authorities take any action which,
at this time Saturday mornng) there is some indication
But it is the sale Of liquor that led up to this that we are
mainly Interested According to reports killing was
narrowly averted Will it require tragedy to awaken
the officers to sense Of duty?
Every day it beomes more and more apparent that
the people must themselves and in the primary in
August nominate who will strive to faithfully execute
the law In acWized country, country that boasts OF
its progress and advancement is folly to say that the
law can not be enforced. The good citizens duty is to
elect whom they know will faithfully and fearlessly
enforce the law People get just such government as
they vote for The responsibility is with them. If they
let motives other than desire for good government con-
troll their votes they deserve what they get
If every citizen who hopes for better conditions will
and vote for only such they believe will do their
duty we will have law enforcement And until we are
willing to lay aside relationship favoS and personal diff
ferences and out and vote for MEN have little
hope for better things.
