Some names become personified; others remain Just names, even though W such they may evoke a rery deflnlto •motion. Volstead, who gave bis namo to. a now famous law, la a by-word in tbe nation; and yet as a personality, be is negligible. Not ao with Wayne B. Wheeler. Wblle tho drafter.of tho Volstead Act llvea' only In ‘the statute' that bears his mime, Wayne B. Wheeler was the personification of the spirit of that law. In his death, tbo Anti-Saloon League loses Its - ablest leader and most indefatiguable worker .•for the enforcement of prohibition. Black and -white have a secret re spect for each other. Wheeler could always be placed. One knew where bo stood. He was. uncompromising. Wherever there was a drive to weaken ,tbs Eighteenth Amendment or nullify the Volstead Act, there would bo Wheeler leading thc defense. When ever there was opportunity to put more teeth In \prohibition legislation, there too would be Wheeler at tho head of the Dry contingent. He was a power in Washington that the mo6t • ardent Wet had to accept. ,, Wheeler- -Ism becamo a synonym for uncom promising enforcement. Behind Wheeler was tho Antl- Saloon League; and behind tho Loagno was the.greater part of the church membership. Timid legislators looked 'at him and played safe. In the midst of hypocrisy, Wheeler was an out-and- outer, Just as Smith, \Wadsworth nnd , others were as openly against prohibi tion. One who frankly espouses a ' catjfce, whatever side be chooRes, will become tho object of abuse as well as the subject, of eulogies. The sldc- steppers are content to escape both, provided they can bo let alone nnd get -re-olected. '• .Mr. Wheeler’s death is regrettable, as hlp.niostibitter enemies will l>c hon est enough to admit. Tho issue wns clarified by his absolutism. At the - moment, thero seems to be no one ■•.quite so well qualified to take up thc cudgel for the dry cause. Wayne B. Wheeler hail character nnd personal ity. Ho was an astute lawyer, and be hit hard. TAD JONES. RESIGNS. About tbe once.berolc figure of Tad Jones the controversial area has-been steadily Increasing during tbe last few year*. - Tbe announcement, that - bis resignation will become effective with the close .of the 1027 season Is the culmination of- this unrest. One hesitates to express an opinion on the merits of the discussion, for only those in close touch'know'all the facts: but It is safe'enough to suggest that while Tad Jones’s system was producing championship teams, there - was noth ing like it; when It fell short of vic tory, It was deplorable. Nothing suc ceeds like success, and a coach is judged by rosulta, even though' other factors enter in. That-something has been wrong with the morale of recent-Tale teams ls-isvldent.- Unity was lacking. Dis sension In tho. squad disrupted discip line. Tunch at the proper time was not'forthcoming. Two years* ago'vic tories over Brown and the Army were poor consolation for. defeat' at 'the hands of Pennsylvania and Princeton. But there was that last game with Harvard, and; Harvard had a notor iously weak team. Yale charged back and forth'across the gridiron appar ently at will, but when within strik ing distance, once on the one-ynrd line, was helpless. Lnst season was a dis mal failure, though the Blue did buck up enough to win from the Crimson. Alumni can forgive almost anything In alma mater cxcept a losing football team. Tad Jones has felt the dis satisfaction, and once or twice has openly resented it, rather unwisely. At any rate, whether the fault Is his nlono or Is to be shared with others, Jones must go. He has become a psychological hazard. Confldenco Is lacking. But In his downfall, It is only fair to remember that Tad was an Idol for years, both as an athlete and as a gentleman; that lie was part of Yale’s greatnefte 20 odd years ngo that he was olioson hy Walter Camp for a berth on the All-American eleven In bis senior year; and that in his career as coach, three “Big Three” championships have been won by Yalo teams under his direction. When that record Is considered, Tad stands out as one of tho major heroes of the gridiron. acquire special characteristics as a re sult of - new • environment,- and-regard;- less of how - many ape’.•trains ? are eliminated in' the struggle to survive, the n the -mystery of. how apes begot men is, as much of a-mystery as ,\t ever was. ‘ Of . late, investigators, have set out to- discover whether-, there are not -■ circumstances under 'which' ac quired characteristics are transmitted; But -until -these investigators have- something to £how for their labors the lavman can be pardoned if he remains a bit of a sceptic. In the language of Sir Arthur Keith, he sits on a Jury. WHO’S WHO — and— TIMELY VIEWS FIFTY YEARS AGO ( F n n b Advertiser J wira i l m e t). HALF W AY ROUND. Listening In DEBATING THE D ARW IN IAN THEORY. The Pride of Detroit has arrived safely at Rangoon. By tho time this statement is in print, it may be in Siam Maybe. Nothing is certain about flying. But tbo progress of these round-the-world fliers has been safe and sure thus far. Thc nirplnne has functioned to perfection. How ever, the speed Brock nnd Schloo hoped to make has not boon realized Even as It is. they may not hotter tbo 28-day record previously hung up by two travelers who used for tbe most part transportation service ni regular operation. If they do ho a t this mark, l£ will be by hours only Part of this delay is explainable by the action of tho Turkish government, whose red tape held up the fliers for a day and a half More trouble Is feared in Japan. In these countries, things are not so easy for visiting: fliers from over the ocean as they were for Lind bergh In France and Chamberlin in Germany Sentimental feelings about aiding two adventurers in breaking a record did not move the henchmen of Mustapha Kemal out of their groove. Yet even If the -S day record Is not broken. It will be a great achievement if the Pride of Detroit i-rijnplotes the circumnavigation of the earths air line without harm Thu« far it has been free from any serious trouble.

No doubt this is true. Yel thc layman cannot help remembering that practi cally all of this evidence is necessarily circumstantial. That is to say, while all of the facts which have been col lected nre In harmony with the theory, and no fact has been found which plainly collides with It, wc are still as far from direct proof as wc ever were. In fact, we shall never have direct proof ur'il one point is clcarcd up, and that is tho manner in which new species are formed by differentiation from a parent stem. Darwin’s theory of natural selection, by which he ac counts for this, becomes, in the light of modern research, more nnd more unsatisfactory it marks out clearly enough tho causes of the formation of | spooles, but 011 the nature of the pro- I cess itself it throws no light whatever.

He went to ' Franco as chap-' inin of the Sixth Field Artillery, and bears all the battle stars of the First Division. Colonel Dickson was-5 cited in General Orders for; distinguished conduct in' exposing himself to heavy shell fire in burying the dead .during battle. He himself ran a machine gun during the battle of Verdun. Colonel DickSon was transferred to the First Field Artillery at Fort”Bill, Oklahoma, upon*bis return from France. He has since retired from native service. 1 A school boy who is taught that two and two make five soon will dis cover the mistake when he plays marbles. The school child who learns bad English may have that < correct ed Inter In life. But the child who is taught garbled history may, re main in Ignorance forever. It is tm- .portant there fore thnt our historic^ be Rccurnto. I I am of the opin ion that every one of tho 107 histories MAJ ■D4CKSOH should bo immedi ately revised or the teachers furnished with notes thnt they may correct the errors. Words mean nothing. Our nation will never have a comprehensive estimate of great troop movements nnd momentous situations as long as his torians use words without discernment, Millions of children will have ideas fixed In their minds that it will be im possible to cliangc In after years. This mass of misinformation Is appalling, it is dangerous. Many of these histories vaunt tho prowess of the Americans, omit credit that Is duo allied forces In action, and belittle the courage of thc Gormans These histories should state facts. The fact is, in tho latter days of thc war, it was largely a question for su premacy between the people of one brnnch of tho Teutonic race with one ideal and those of another brnnch of tho Teutonic rnce with another ideal. fc= --- ■ ■■ New\' .York—The Times' shows' that while' the aggregate revenues; of the government last year fell? 25 ‘ million* below those of 1878 the net surplus was but five millions below, the surplus of 187G. ■ This Is accounted for by a re-, ductlon in .expenditures last years of nearly 20 millions.
