SPINOZA'S BIRTH
November "a

.ON Nov. "a, 1882, Benedict Spi-
~ noza, a famous Dutch-Jewish
philosopher, was born at Amster-
dam, the son of a Portuguese mer-
chang who had fed there to escape
religious persecution.
Though a delicate child, Spinoza
studied diligently under rabbits. He
later was alienated from the ortho-
dox beliefs Of his religion and, be-
cause of his heresies, was excom-
municated from the synagog.
After spending some time in exile
in abstruse and difficult studies he
brought out an abridgement of the
philosophical works of Descartes. He
soon was offered the chair of phi
losophy at Heidelberg and a pension
if he would dedicate his work to
Louis XIV.
These he refused, on the ground
they would endanger his independ-
ence and integrity Of thought. He
preferred, instead, to live in pow
erty.
The nub OF SplnoZa philosophy is
this: Existence consists Of the ma
terial world and thought. Each of
these realms is independent of the
matter and matter does not inf1u-
ence thought.
Nevertheless, the movements of
one are parallel or analogous to the
movements Of the other, and the
movements Of each depend on an
sll-pervading essence. which is
equivalent to God.

The White House Conference

The White House conference on child health and
protection the whole, demonstration of good
will and intelligent research. The mass of aresting
facts to the individual and social handicaps borne
by 100000 out of the nations 100000 children
doubtless will bear fruit in many deferred re-
form.
1t is pity, however, that the conference was not
free to display courage in outright support of tn
infancy aid bill before congress, and
the child labor amendment before the legislatures of
forty-three states
The conference took indirect notice of both these
measures. Unfortunately, in the former ISSUE the
pocymakers OF the conference attempted to use their
power in defiance of the wishes of the hundreds OF
delegates, to influence congress to deprive the chill
drens bureau of its normal function of administering
infant-maternity ed. The question of child labor was
handled with too many gloves.

Thomas Adams. Crusader

Thomas Adams, courageous crusader an editor,
sleeps. The scars he leaves behind are upon the
enemies he fought and the evils he denounced. The
memory he leaves is one that those who feared and
hated him in life might envy for their own.
He belonged to that school of journalism which
believed that there is a duty of editors to their
readers Of threats to the common good, duty to
expose corruption in Office duty to keep the faith
no matter what may be the sacrifice Of standing
friendships or Of personal fortune
To that creed he was faithful from the time that
he put down his printers galley to take UP his work
as editor.
The letter Struggled from the prison cell of D. c.
stephenson, confessng participation in political
crimes and denouncing those who had gained high
office and power through them, call to duty.
He gave unstntngly Of his time, his strength, his
money to ferret out evidence of these crimes and was
tnwavering in his purpose to throw light on this
dark spot i'm Indiana history
The effort was not without its toll He was out
lawed from the Republican Editorial Association in
which he had held high Office. Fear-stricken culprits
attempted to have him indicted in federal court
periured affidavit Old friends drew away because
of fear Of the great power Of those whom he attacked
It will be remembered Of Tom Adams that none Of
these things ever caused him to falter.
His influence upon the state will be much
permanent than that of those who triunphed briefly,
over the cause for which he fought and who hod high
official power.
In politics he met the fate Of most crusaders who
fight the peoples battles This nation never has re-
warded with high Offices those who have led popular
causes against entrenched power The one exception
was the elder La Toilette and he waged his battle
until new generation of voters had obtained power
before he finally was triumphant as a candidate.
Is it that the people recognize the higher value
of unofficial ribunes and prefer to keep them out Of
Office that they ever may watch and warn against
the threats that constantly arise or is it true that
srepublics are ever ungrateful?"
This is the glory of Adams He held no Office, but
nc was held in higher esteem than any public official
His real triumph was his answering fidelity to the
causes for which he battled and the example he be-
oueaths to courageous youth of the future

The Anti-SaIoon League is not de-

increasing. Only the ignorant, and
those men who will do anything for
money, think the league is declin-

not losing faith in prohibition, they
are backing it as hard as ever, and
are ready to fight to the last ditch
to get rid of the habit-forming, hap
piness running drug.

Modest Scientist

ut is seldom the scientist who be-
L comes dogmatic in such matters,
although this charge infrequently is
not hurled by clergymen. Surely Il
don't know" can not be classified as
staggering assurance.
But the gravest error in argument
was achieved, I think. by the Rev.
DR.. Fulton j. Sheen of the Catholic
university, Washington, D. G.
In speaking of Einstein's cosmical
philosophy DR.. Sheen asserted, Men
are willing to die for what we call
the milk of human kindness, but
who in this world is willing to lay
down his life for the Milky Way?"
It seems to me that DR.. Sheen has
read history carelessly if his words
imply what they seem to mean. II
1 understand the clergyman Alright
he is saying that while religious,
or even an ethical. concept may re-
cruit martyrs, nobody is willing to
die in the pursuit of pure science.
The only answer to that is that
thousands have done so and that
there is no indication Of any let
down in scientific fervor.
The martyrs of medicine are,
many of them, familiar to us all. 1t
may be objected that in an investi-
CATION such as the heroic research
into the causes Of yellow fever the
animating principle was desire to

man has an urge much less closely
defined. He is after something called
the truth, and whether it is truth
about a principle of physics or BIZ

ference.
