THEORY ADVANCED BY MANY
What Might Be Called the Evolution
of Evolution as Explained by
John Burroughs.

1t is interesting to note that the doc
trine of evolution itself has undergone
as complete an evolution as has any
animal species with which it deals.
We find the germ of it, SO to speak, in
the early Greek philosophers and not
much more
Crude, half-developed forms of it be-
gin to appear in the Eighteenth CEN
fury of our era and become more and
more developed in the Nineteenth, till
they approximate completion in OAR
win. In Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1898,
there are glimpses of the theory, but
in Lamarck, near the beginning of the
Nineteenth century. the theory is so
fully developed that it anticipates OAR
win on many points; often full! of crud-
tiles and absurdities, yet Lamarck hits
the mark surprisingly often
In 1913 DR.. w. c. Wells, an English
man, read paper before the Royaf
society in London that contains pas
sage that might have come from the
pages of Darwin. In the anonymous
and famous volume called 'Vestiges
of Creation" published in 1S44, the
doctrine of the mutability of species
is forcibly put Then in Herbert Spen-
Ger in 1852 the evolution theory OF de-
velopment receives a fresh impetus.
till it natures in the minds of OAR
win and Wallace in the late sos. The
inherent impulse toward development
is also in Aristotle. 1t crops out again
in Lamarck, but was repudiated by
Darwin.-From 1.-THE Last Harvest"

excepting from this sheriff's sales or
where the attorney personally guar
antees payment upon submission OF
proof of publication.
Our reason for this is that we carry
hundreds of dollars in egals upon
our books Some of these notices
were published years ago. In many
cases the estates have been settled.
We never got a red cent of the money
due us. Probably we have been paid
for less than half the legals run In
the past ten years.
The Herald means no offense in this
but we do not apologize for saying It.
We simply can't run the business that
way. If we do work we must be paid
for it. We can't do work and be paid
for half of it. We realize that in
many cases the attorney is in no way
blame, because he does not care TO
advance the printing expense for a
client But neither. do especially
when the printer is forgotten SO many
times when the final settlement is
made.
In the future we will demand pay
ment either with order or upon proof
of publication, excepting, however,
notices from the sheriff who always
pays when the sale is made and that

Churches Stand
RY Rev. Berg.

Rev. Carl Berg of Elkhorn, fined in
Chicago for disOrderly conduct, Will
CONT .lue as the head of his present
charges, pastor of the Lutheran
churches at Elkhorn and Lyons. The
two congregations refused to accept
the resignation when offered. The
action followed an investigation of
the pastors conduct during visit to
Chicago when he landed in the
morals court.
According to reports, the pastors
story, when he confronted the con-
gregations Friday night, was that he
was duped by the woman who posed
as being in poverty and badly in need
of clothes. He declared she ap-
preached him as he was en- route in d
taxi cab to hospital to visit sick
friend and that the driver stopped to
buy some cigarettes. The minister
said he bought the woman some shoes
and hat, and was about to get her
meal when arrested
A good many people will sniff at
the preachers story but it bears the
elements of truth. The chances are,
as he says, he was trying to be good
Samaritan and got it in the neck. Po-
lice officials are hard-boiled and
newspapers seize upon chance 20
show up a minister.
A real sport, OFT looking for a racy
time would never have landed in such
a jam. A guileless person unfamiliar
with the world could be easily led in
to it.

Voices From
the Air.

When you meet a man, woman Or
child who has somewhat hollow, but
ecstatic look about the eyes, you have
but one answer-they've got radio
in their home.
Work stops when the radio comes.
Other devices for indoor entertain
ment lose their charm. Father no
longer finds evening work necessary
at the office. Mother neglects her
knitting and fancy work. Sister ceas-
es to primp and neglects the supper
dishes Brother finds Run Sheep.
Rum, and other outdoor games dull
sport. Baby gallops up and down in
glee, not really knowing what it's all
about but sharing in the family en-
thusiasm just the same. Maggie, the
maid, finds the radio room in constant
need of busting and attention. Fam
lily chorus-"We've got a radio"
Voices come singing in out of the
air. Washington, D. c., or Seattle,
Schenectady, New York; Buffalo or
Cincinnati; Atlanta, Ca, or Omaha.
And so on. One twists the little dial
and there you are. New music, new
entertainment at full blast.
Exploring becomes an ODS0SS1OH.
One finds pockets or dead spaces in
the air. Far away, perhaps, one
hears distant station. But turn on;
the whistle comes in. You turn back
and forth, finding the quiet spot. 1t
seems in your mind like the bottom
of V. On either side is discordance
and rasping noises, but in the center;
say, that center is some thrill.
Here lies Ormadz and the Ind The
world is filled with music and song.
Voices from the night connect your
fireside with noble entertainment and
in infinite variety Birds sing and the
organ rolls its sonorous chant. Music
lovers over the country are knit to-
gether in a harmonious bond.
Outdoors the wind bowls but what
matters that. Inside all is warmth
and life If you do not like jazz, some
station, somewhere, has an operate
concert on. If you like Hawaiian on
American ukeleles turn the dial. At
midnight, when the air is still, the
Kansas City Night Hawks tune in
with melodious dance music. So it
goes and time flies.
The padded cell and straitjacket
may come later, but for the time be-
ing it's great life. Turn on the
radio.

Musings on the
Naru Wnnw

Now AGfeAe
This week we begin the New Year,
turning the opening pages OF a blank
book and beginning daily TO write q
story of hope and fear, victory and de-
feat, good deeds and bad ones, kind
ness and selfshness through 1924.
The old book is closed whatever it
contains and cannot be changed. The
record must stand. But new chance
and d new record is before us.
We wonder if business men every
where will get the message being
wirelessed around the world? This
message sings of service and reward
afterwards. 1t tells of effort to be
first in doing ones best and relying
upon that best to bring the custom
that the best can and does bring. 1t
is the message of Christianity applied
to business dealings.
And then we wonder if the world
will get together on the basis Of hu-
man fellowship and away from cheat
ing, domination and dog-eat-dog. We
wonder if diplomats and statesmen
will see that the old ways are foolish
and a failure. We wonder if they.
having affairs of state in their hands,
will abolish war. We wonder if Sc
cret diplomacy and pacts will be torn
to pieces and all covenants made in
the open and not behind closed doors.
We wonder if the welfare of the SUI
fering at the bottom will be the high
regard of rulers instead Of the glori-
fication of those who already have too
much
And we wonder if in America peo-
pie will cease belittling and sneering
at their own laws We wonder if Sc
cret societies springing UP to en-
force human codes because the law
is weak will grow stronger or sink
into Oblivion in the face of a united
people determined that the rule OF
equal justice and privilege shall be
foremost again
We wonder il that golden age OF
prosperity and peace that existed be-
fore the World war will come back
to us again. We had made great ad-
flung amongst us. And since we have
reverted to barbarism, lawlessness
and materialism.
Each year is an open book and each
day a new page unfolds to be written
on. We wonder what the record will
be. While we live we each have
chance to write in that book Shall
we write acts of selfshness or deeds
of patient heroism, doing ones duty?
We wonder
These things and many more lie
before us. 1t is the book of human
life.

On Bail

The Herald has recently noted that
a man who went on the bail of anotn-
er man has been the subject OF critl-
cism Be it said that regardless OF
knocks this man has not complained
although he lately, for reasons best
known to himself, withdrew from the
BAIL.
To criticise man for going bail for
another man is unfair. In going Oh
the bail he gains nothing and stands
a chance of serious personal loss. The
law provides means whereby an ac-
cused person can secure bail and un-
til he is proven guilty regardless OF
how damaging the charges are, he IS
presumed innocent by the law.
SO long as the LAWS complied with
in all respects and there is no attempt
to defeat justice we dc not consider it
fair or friendly to blame man for
going bail for another man. In even
a serious case as the one referred
to, it is always well to be reasonable
and fair.

Senator Baxter
An ADDr2clatiOn.

Senator Chas Baxter, whose funer-
al we attended Sunday, was one or
the prominent men Of southwestern
Wisconsin. II banking circles he was
one of the Prominent men OF a great
state. He lived to a ripe age and 1t
was remarkable to note how IN spite
OF his years he retained his hold on
the minds, acts apd opinions OF other
men. When he voiced an opinion it
was given respectful attention. When
asked for counsel he gave 1T freely.
His advice was always good.
While he could say No, and say it
forcibly, Mr. Baxter delighted in help
ing those who helped themselves.
Many man has benefited by the help
of Charles Baxter, but he never con-
sidered the aid as a personal claim
upon those he backed. Men felt III
dealing with him that affairs were on
a good business basis and that they
could go ahead secure in standing
and with sound backing behind them
Rarely, if ever, was the senator's
trust betrayed.
This old soldier was banker OF
the old school. He held high the
trust reposed in him by others and
AAAS
custody in the light of stewardship.
The business he headed in accordance
with these policies has grown to
what it is today-a great banking in
stitution.
Senator Baxter delighted in having
peoples confidence and he loved TO
expound upon the great value OF haV-
ing confidence given. He likened con-
fidence to tree which must be care
fully watered and nurtured This
tree would grow, he said, and its
branches would spread far and wide.
Developed, the tree would stand tall
and stately In it's branches the
birds would sing. Beneath the shade
the man who had developed the tree
might now repose. The cooling pro-
lection of the leaves would shelter
him from the suns blast and its man
tie of verdure would shield him from
the storm. Beneath the tree of conf
dence the honest man could live on
the fat of the land. . y.
Like all of us, Mr.. Baxter had his
foibles But he was a real human be
ing who in spite Of his years showed
no hint of loss Of interest in life and
its affairs. He was kindly, loveable
old man: We will miss him.
