Differences

nR. MILLER proceeds then to
~ list a summary Of these sixteen
points of difference. I will under
take to give an abridged summary
Of DR.. Miller's summary:
The deposits in which the re-
mains were found were of glacial
age. According to the first view.
the remains are less than 100000
years old; according to the second,
at least 1000, 900.
The way the bones we're deposited
supports the view that they belong
to one individual. The distance be-
tween the bones as found would in
dictate they belong to different ones.
The remains came from one ami
NAL. They came from two, one a
gibbon, the other a man. They
came from three animals.
The thigh-bone has human char
acteristics. 1t has those of a gibbon.
The skullcap is human. 1t is In
termediate between man and apes.
1t IS simian. 1t has the character
istics of a gibbon. 1t has the char
acteristics Of a chimpanzee.
The creature had powers Of
speech. The creature was an i'm
beetle. The skull gives no evidence
as TO mental capacity.
The creature was a true transi-
ton form between man and ape.
The creature had a structure which
removes it from a position OF direct

a gigantic gibbon. The creature was
a "dawn man"
The theory that Java man was a
dawn man" is DR.. Osborn's theory.
1t will be seen that there Is no
agreement between DR.. Osborn and
other anthronoIo1ists

Java Man

TAVA man was discovered in 1891
- by DR.. Eugene Dubois, and first
described in a pamphlet published IL
1894. Writing in the annual report
of the Smithsonian Institution, DR..
Miller says of this pamphlet:
Throughout the scientific world it
was read Immediately and COM
mented on with intense interest by
biologists and anthropologists alike.
But the fact soon became appar-l
ent that the only point of univer-
sal agreement among these readers
was their interest; their opinions
differed to an astonishing degree.
Some accepted the belief Of
Dubois, that the remains came from
on individual; others regarded the
circumstances Of the discovery as
giving no support to it.
About the skullcap some agreed
with Dubois, that it clearly repre-
Sented a transition stage between
ape and man; others pronounced 1t
human; still others were as fully
convinced that it was simian.
In April, 1896, Dubois gave q
of the opinions of nine
teen writer's; five regarded the skull
cap as simian, seven as human and
seven as intermediate.
1.-THE controversy which thus be-
gan has not yet ended"
Coming to present-day opinions
about the Java man, DR.. Miller
writes: There is only one point on
which all writer's agree. namely, that
the skullcap is strangely different
the corresponding part Of
other known mammals, both re-
cent and fossil. In striking contrasts
we find that there are not less than
sixteen points Of disagreement"

"The Wing Tradition

we must bear in mind the Wing tradition of
a right to revolution"
What is the significance Of those words from the
report Of the Hoover commission on law observance
and enforcement?
How do they square with what Hoover himself
said in transmitting the report? The answer is,
they don't.
Hoover said:
while some sections of the American people may
disagree upon the merits of some questions involved,
every responsible citizen supports the principle that
the law of the land must be enforced"
AS opposed to that philosophy, there has prevailed
in this country since its beginning the tradition" to
which the commission refers. Nicholas Murray But
Ter didn't invent the idea of higher lawlessness."
OFF a well-known document. We quote from the
Declaration of Independence:
1--WE hold these truths to be salf-evident, that
all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. That to secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed, that whenever any
form of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abol-
ish it, and to institute new government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its
powers in such form as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and happiness"
There's your higher lawlessness, your Wing
tradition.
Had it been otherwise, had the idea Of dumb,
docile and unquestioned obedience to all laws pre-
vailed, we would still be subjects of Great Britain
and there wouldn't be any eighteenth amendment.
