Lefore 8 + ‘clock. ac ae Shackling Justice \ night watchman, carrying a revolver for which he had it, shot a burglar he found inside a building under his care, when the thief sought to escape. A news item dealing with ithe occurrence says: “The watchman was held on a charge of felonious assault. As a private detective he is entitled to carry a revolver, but his privilege does not permit him to fire it.” This is in the great city of New York. A night watchman equip- ped with a revolver which he js forbidden to use against burg lars, closely resembles a hog-tied and prostrate horse in a hot race aguinst a speedy thoroughbred. Could any other episode be cited which better betrays the extreme care With which the law safeguards the lives and per- sons of burglars, stickup men, thugs, thieves, ruffians, crimin- als of all kinds and evildoers generally? A fine spectacle that of an efficient and capable night watchman, held on a ser ious cha for doing his best to protect the property left in his care from those who —one is justified in believing—would haye killed him without the slightest compunction had they been able to do so. Imagine what the effect of the news of the treatment of this night watchman at the hands of the law on all other night watchmen in New York. Could the public which in this in- stance may be said to have acted through its accredited agents to bring about the arrest of the watchman, do anything better calculated to encourage criminal elements to war against it? Dickens made one of his characters say, “the law 1s an ass.’ Was he right? Judged by many things— and especially the case cited—he was quite right, As long as the law jails m ‘ov doing things which make him worthy of public acclaim ndation, the evil doers of the land have little to fear be their work of murder and robber) ‘The Great Query \ an all feel with St. Bernard that “it is a misery to be boru, a pain to live, a trouble to die” We can sing with Murip ides that, “Life is short, yet sweet.” We can avow with Maz zini that “Life is a mission.” Or we can decide that Bulwer Lytton, that “Life hath set no landmarks before us.” Whichever viewpoint we haye, we must still be puzzled by the question: What is life itself? Each man has a different view, but all our concepts or “explanations” of life have a two-fold aspect and gin. On the one hand, you and I, as distinct individuals, firmly belieye in our own sovereignty or in some inborn power of initiative and some personal respon- sibility for our actions. This internal, self-determining agency is sometimes called “heredity and environment,” sometimes the “soul.” On the other hand, all of us are compelled to recog: nize our subjection as well as indebtedness to the world about us. In modern times we are inclined to attribute our success or tailure to what we vaguely call luck of circumstances, In earlier days man was more likely to attribute his fate to some friendly angel or to the machinations of some friendly devil, and so they made some effort, some surrender or some per sonal sacrifice in order to fit their ways to the ways of these mysterious deities. But in modern social affairs, the ‘countr; “the government, or “education” are popular names for deit in the “over there’ beyond our reach or ken. As observed by Professor William Patton: “To them we now offer up sacrifices and look for succor, and on them we now lay the responsibility for our misfortunes. But now, as of old, all those causes too illusive to be caught and baptized with a distinctive name, we summarily attribute to God, or nature, or predestination, or to same other indefinable but all inclu sive agency.” All these blanketing words are but the refuge of our ignor ance. We use them cither to cover up our mental nakedness or to escape from the necessity of making embarrassing dis tinctions. They “explain” everything or nothing, depending on our definitions and our re for rtlculars. And that pends on the extent and truthfulness of our ledge ur reaction to the impact logic Same Old Man A British anatomist and anthropologist « forward with the statement that the physical structure of man has not changed materially in the past 5,000 years, The jaw, for in stance, assumed its present form long before the modern arti ficialities of diet had been created. The well known decadence of the little toe is not due to the effects of tight shoes, The little toe had begun to atrophy ages before shoes were dreamed of, nor has there been any notable development in the brain itself. Man’s increasing ability to use his brain has been due not to changes in the structure of that organ but to the accum ulation of knowledge and the elimination of effort. The depon ent scoffs at the theory that man of the future will be a mere thinking machine, all brain and no body, On the contrary he balieves man is developing toward a better physique all the time. And more to the same effect. As 5,000 years is only 1,000 short of the date which the Bible assigns to the creation of Adam, all this may bring heartenment to the tribes of the ryanites. Such, however, is not its intent. Tt aims, on the contrary, to demonstrate that 5,000 years constitute but a fleeting moment in the life of the race, period, therefore, ab surly insufficient to bridge entire gap between thc nnings of man and his present estate New York's Battle The Democratic campaign in New York, Tammany versus Hearst—Walker versus Hylan for mayor—will going. in earnest in about a week.

This remains to be brought out in the supreme court of Tennessee, or possibly the ler- al court, where “two cases have re- cently been ~ brought. “In my opinion, the question in- volved is the most important ever brought to the attention of our country. It involves for the first time a consideration of religious guarantees of our state and federal constitution, and what is equally important, freedom of scientific in- quiry. The vast majority of Amert- can citizens must be educated in the near future in our public schools and state universities. It our legis- latures and congress, in fixing their curriculum, haye unlimited power the sooner the American people know it the better. “This is by no meang a fight lo- cal to Tennessee. The movement to pass such laws has back of it strong organizations in every state. The only possible way to defeat it is to demonstrate its unconstitution- ality. If left to the will of the leg- islatures and popular vote it will undoubtedly win, and our boasted separation of church and state and freedom in the pursuit of truth will sease to be an American heritage. We must confess that so far we have met some disappointments. Chief among them fp the failure of certain great national organizations to give us their support directly, as we feel we are fighting their battles, Among those on whom we counted most—and therefore our disappoint- ment has been greatest—were the American Medical Association, the National Educational organization and certain lberal Christian organi- zations. It was primarily a fight for liberal Christianity against tutory fundamentalism, yet we recelved lit- tle but criticism from a number of liberal Christian magazines. It ie a fight for freedom of teaching, yet the National Educational Associa- tion, at its great convention in In- Gianapolis, failed to put itself on record,” %, Who’s Who The “last of the Victorians,” as homas.
