But no governmental department presents such a potent reason for optimism as the treasury department. Secretary Mellon's statement that government expenditures been slashed 50 per cent In the last four years and that taxes have been cut in the same ratio give an indication of the efforts being, made In official circles to relieve the burden borne patiently since the war days and to place the nation on a firm, prosperous basis. In the United States, Mr. Mellon points out expenditures have been reduced from about $6,500,000,000 during the fiscal year 1920 to about $3,500,000,000 in 1924, while during wealtft of the country.

So far as science -Jias discovered acquired characteristics are. never In herited, he stated, although some periments have shown that they might be in a very microscopic de- Jree. Because of this fact man is not the creator but the trustee of the characteristics of his race.

Euthenlcs he defined as. the Improvement of the race through proper environment and eugenics the Improvement of the race through breeding. Various explanations of the mechanism of heredity were quoted and Mendel's law explained. Nature, he pointed out.

Summary of the Report. Secretary Mellon in the introduction to a recent report, which deals with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, declares a real beginning has been made toward prosperity by the readjustment of government finances during the past four years. "Through the establishment of the bureau of the budget," the report goes 'on, "and the splendid co-operation of all government depart- Lments In the program of economy, expenditures have been reduced of his illness on Tuesday night, he declared that the music lifted his bplrlt and Insisted that the playing i.hould continue.

The secretary gives the most prominence to taxation, saying that while the revenue act passed last year gave temporary relief, it was not a genuine tax reform.

"The problem before us now ts not so much one of tax reduction as of tax reform.

In such cases he should have counsel and If he feels that he really Is not to blame In the matter It is well for him to permit his fellowmen to be the judges, In other words, to ask for a trial by Jury, the absolute right of all American citizens. Speeders Plead "You can't plead guilty with reservations and while you may be found guilty your conscience may still tell you that you were morally right and should have pleaded in nocent. "In minor infractions of the law there is a tendency," such as in the case of speeders, to enter pleas of. grtilfy; when Innocent in the hope of getting a lighter fine. That ts wrong.

Very often, the police and other prosecuting officers convince-a. man that he Is guilty when he knows that he isn't. This tendency is especially true where the evidence is weak and -faulty and the officers want to get a guilty plea to support their arrest. Take the case into court'and leave it to the Judges to decide, a man trained in the law and sworn to administer justice. "It is a common occurrence for men to be and then charged with crimes of which they are not guilty.

In other words, they are often charged With the wrong of fense. A plea of not guilty is always best in such cases and then the judge can throw out the case and instruct the officers to change the charge. All Deserve Defense. "T.aw enforcement, an excellent phrase, Is coming more and more to mean in the mind of the citizen, enforcement only of the prohibition Iteformers have carried this Idea to such extremes that they havH convinced many people that a man charged with violating the liquor laws should riot tiffer a defense. Such it position Is absurd.

The prohibition law should be dealt with just like all other laws and the man charged with violation should 4vs given the same fair trial and to defend himself that any other law violator gets. "Attention jf the reformers Is being directed somewhat towards traffic regulation and here surely Is a more serious menace than liquor at the present time. Of course liquor enters into many accident cases but the great number of deaths, far in excess of deaths from alcoholism, can not be laid to the door of liquor entirely. Many of our most respectable people drive cars daily in a reckless manner and every car owner exceeds the speed limit. A little law enforcement effort could be directed in these channels.

Should Arrest Minds." At present the liquor law enforcement people seem to be starting at the wrong end. Those arrested are usually poor illiterate persons almost unable to defend themselves, while the millionaire bootleggers and so called 'master minds' in this great American ganve illicit liquor running go free and at times have even been known to secure aid from enforcement officials. "Our crowded courts prevent giving an abundance of time to niosfc-cases and unless a lyan has proper counsel and defense ho inuy be given criminal record although he doesn't dewcrv It in the least. Many men go before tho court and plead 'guilty, without defense, and Inter think It over In Jail and decide that they are not guilty and then try to secure a pardon. It Is a poor and often unsuccessful way.

l'lcad Not Gullly. "When arreted think the case over seriously, consult your conscience and your attorney and If you feel that you are not guilty never plead guilty even If you have to take a larger flie or punishment." if tiu, readier 8 ConfeSSlOn Admitted as Evidence MOUNT VERNON. 111.. Dec. 11.
