jevlewer tlmt tho unlvetse may well havo
heaved ii nigh of relief when, through tho
cerebration of un eminent thinker It had
Won delivered of thin neoount of Itsulf.
Nevertheless, thin ileflnltlon contains Im
portant points, and Ii t.ot, utter nil, dllll
cult to comprehend when ono gives It n
llttlo thought. Thero nro sonu points In It
Jo which wo hIiiiII Imvo occasion to refer.
Tho dellnltlnii given by I'rof. Hurley Is u
simpler one, nnm'ely: "Evolution, or de
velopment, Im but u history of tho steps by
which uny living being has acquired tho
morphological and physiological character
IstlcM which distinguish It."
Tho latter dellnltlon seems to have been
framed with regard to the Individual or
KntilHm, but the former uppllus equally
wcill to tho Individual organism nnil to do
wdoptnont of tho Hoctitl organism. 1-: volu
tion Ih biological mid when wo come to man
wo must add that It Ih psy hologleiil also.
It applies to lira, mid society Ih the highest
form of life, and lins Its peculiarities In
evolution on iiccouut of tho existence of
mind nn a controlling force.
H oliltloii of .Soelrly,
Ifcrbert HpenoT's formula Is particularly
helpful in recalling Importuut polntii In tho
ovolutlou of ioelety. Wo havo a clinngo
llrst from homogeneity to heterogeneity.
Hut tho. homogeneity Is only partially or
gunlzcd, Its organism Is Incipient. It Is In
delltiltii nnil Incoherent. Knrly society Ih
llttlo more than a mass of men, a mero
mass. Tho Individuals composing It havo
llko occupations, llko habits, Hko beliefs.
In a few Individuals wo eo nil. Hut as so
elety develops we notion a growth of dif
ferences; tho higher tho development tho
greater tho variety of Individuals, Within
society m(o havo a vast, inllnlto numbei nf
groups ntifl within tho Kroups Individuality
boi'omes moro marked. A developed so
ciety limkB llko a chaos nt llrst glance, but
thcro Is a growing Integration, or binding
together, nrcouipuuyiug growing differ
ences or dllTerentlutlon. Individual mem
bers of society, as they develop differences,
work together more mid more perfectly,
producing ono whole, consisting of Interde
pendent parts.
Wo can hardly say nf primitive men that
thoy constitute il society, so Imperfect aro
tho tie binding' tlnfm loosely together.
They contain tho beginnings of society.
.Society grows nnil develops and becomes
jnoio vital with ovcry stugo In social evolu
tion. Wo notlco this In Industry. Hundreds of
Illustrations occur to us with a llttlo re
flection. Trace, for example, tho ovolu
tlou of transportation and communication
from tho onrly carrier to the modern rail
way corporation, in Itself a vast organized
army.
.Mciiiin Inerciislni; Co-Opernllim.
Hut ono fact, ono prominent fact, stands
out clearer and clearer In all this evolu
tion, and that Is that It menus Increasing
co-operation. Co-operntlnn, It now be
comes apparent, Is tho law of tho llfo of
society.
.Social evolution mnaiiH change. This Is
opo of tho most fundamental things which
must bo bo-ne Jn mind. -Chungo In society.
In all oartHftr soctuty; uvou Including what
wo call tho Honlnl order Itself. Is a condi
tion of llfo. Thero is no llfo without
chango; tho alternative Is death.
changes nro sutllelcntly obvious to ono
who will contrast tho I'nlted State of to
day with tho I'nlted Htntes nf 1W Wo havo
only to look about ub to observe n multi
tude of things essential to our llfo today
which were entirely unknown to tho men
of ISO). A long list might be made nf new
things; Street cars, telegraphs, telephones,
steam railways, electric, light, etc.. will
occur to every ono. Tho more we look Into
tho characteristics of our Industrial so
ciety tho more striking appear tho olinngos,
In tho next place we notlco that tho
changes are ordered changes; they tako
place In acoordanco with social laws. Thero
are dlllluultles In the wuy of seeing tho
changes, because, rapid ns they are, they
aro usually slow when compared with the
brevity of lit man life. So wo Ilnd men all
about us assuming that things In tho'busl
ness world have always boon In their pres.
ent condition, and that they will continue
to maintain their present fcaturcb Indefi
nitely In tho future.
To the TriiNl S(ae.
It Is still moro dllllcult to see tho laws
lit tho changes than it Is to seo tho changes
themselves. When great periods are taken
together, however, cerialn stagcH In de
velopment appear. Thus wo puss over from
tho hunting and llshlng stnge to thu pas
toral stage, to the agricultural stage, to
tho trades and commerce stnge. to tlio
modern Industrial stage, and 11111111 to tho
"trust" .stage. When wo consider tho evolu
thin of Industrial society with respect to
tho ixchango of goods, wo observe tho
successive use of barter, money and credit,
uud wo have throo periods, characterized
nd tho barter economy, or truck economy,
If you will, tho money economy and tho
credit economy.
When wo consider tho evolution of labor
wo notlco tho transition from slavery to
serfdom, to free contract, mid frifht frco
Individual contract to group contract, as
. mitnlfOHtttl In collective, bargaining.
These words, characterizing various
mages, refer to great periods, and within
each of tluo 11 multitude of changes has
taken place.
Something' elite Is to bo noticed alao, and
that Is that social movement Is not In a
straight line, but moro llko a curve. Wo
come back to ancient Institutions In modi
led nnd Improved form. We havo Increas
ing co-nernt!nu mill liierenslug dependence
of mail upon man. This Increasing de
pendence, Is not burdensome, provided It Is
mutual. If It Is one-sided dependence, it

Herbert Spc-ncer, looking at the political
rcg; ilntlon c.f economic relations, spcuks of
a romltig (clHvrrj. but he overlook" the
fact that with the Increasing dependence
of man upon man in modern society this
dependence becomes one-iiidoit and results
In virtual slavery If these relations are not
regulated. This Is the explanation of the
fact that every civilized iftitlon In the world
llnds It imcf ssary to regulate to an Increas
ing extent the Industrial relation" existing
among men. Free contract alone, that Is
to say, unregulated, can only result In n
degrading dependence of some men upon
others, nnd consequently social degrada
tion. On the other hand, through regulated
association come freedom and Individual
ity. All this development of society mentis In
creasing self-conscious scclal action. Society
must be educated for Its now responsibili
ties. The role of education Is one of In
creasing ;elf-eonscIous social action. Society

"I feel qulto confident that tho city coun
cil will Increase the assessments of the
franchlsed corporations when It sits as a
board of equalization next month," said
Myron D. Karr, president of tho city coun
cil. "It seems tu bo the sentiment of most
of tho members of the council that tho
nssctsnients on theso corporations must be
advanced somewhere near the figures set
by tho tax cnmmUloncr.
"In discussing tho question of raising the
assessments with several councllmeu I
have found that they are not eure whether
franchises can bo assessed under the stuto
law and whether tho Indebtedness of a
company can bo taxed. Tho members are
anxious to have tho law on these points
mado clear before they take any action.
"It la my opinion that Mr. Fleming
plnced tho assessment of the water com
pany ut the proper figure when ho turned
It in nt 1.000.009 nnd I think it likely that
tho council will ntlvvnce tho assessment of
that company from $375,000, tho assessment
fixed by tho Hoard of Ilevlcw, to a sum
much nearer thu million mark. Tho as
scssmcnt of tho street railway company
will probably be advanced also. It u
fixed by tho board at $550,000 and will
probably bo raised JtOO.OOO or so, Thero
Is leas reason for advancing the assessment
of tho gas company, as It pays tho city

Tho Omaha Suburban Hapld Transit com

of tho franchise nsked for.
Tho franchise submitted has a blanket
provision covering every highway in Doug

Work Is to bo commenced within n year
from that tlmo nnd nt least flvo miles of

Tho power Is to bo furnished by overhead

motives. All bridges, with tho exception of
those over tho Hlkhorn river, are to be

At thu end of tho franchise period tho

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. "Dr." John Alex
ander Dowle, the proclaimed "Hlljnh, tho
ItestorCT," broke down when ho went on tho
wltnesH btimil today In his own behalf and
between choking cobs told how his confl
denco In his brothcr-ln-law and legal op
ponent, Samuel Stevenson, had been shaken.
Tho portly figure of tho aged witness shook
spasmodically and tho tears streamed down
his faco ns ho related memories of Stoven
fcon's cupousal of his sister, now dead.
Crosa-examlned, his imek and lowly char
acter changed nnd ho denounced Stevenson,
called him un 'abominable travclton com
panion," nnd said .ho was of no use in
"Zlon" and wns always blundering.
Judgo Tuley's court was packed to over
flowing with followers of "Elijah II," who
followed minutely tho "doctor's" testimony
and who at tho end of tho dny'a Hcsnlon
gathered around him to act as hla body
guard back to "Zlon."
Dnnlu Denounce Clnirn,c.
Tho testimony offered by Dowlo wns to
tho effect that ho had given Stevenson tho
checks aggregating $50,000 ostensibly to ro
leaso certain indebtedness between them.
Tho chocks wero exhibited In court nnd
showed Indorsements by Afary Ann Steven
son for tock In 'Aon laco industries.
Dowlo wcut Into groat detail as to how htn
stock had accidentally como back Into hla
possession, explaining that ho had been
"immediately surprised" to find tho cortlll- i
cates for tho stock In hla prlvatn bafo.
Stevenson hod sot up tho claim that ho had
novcr rccelvod tho certificates. Dowlu set
down ns "nonsenso" tho chnrgo that by
"honeyed words of nrtlflco" ho had In
veigled Stovcnson to como to America to
tako charge of tho laco Industries and do- '
nled that ho had used any power whatover j
to tho end. Tho all-night sessions, which, i
according to testimony, wero frequent with
Dowlo and his disciples, wero explained as
necessary, as ho wan "a very busy man."
HxnlnliiN Certnin Methods. -
Ho also explained somo of tho methods of
ZIoii'h llnnuclal operations In nn effort to
provo that Stevenson's claim to a Joint
partnership with blm in tho laco industries
was at no tlmo ever contemplated.
C. J. narnnrd, genoral manager of Dowlo's
ZIon bank, told of Stevenson's objection to
tho manner In which tho laco Industries
were being manngod and how ho had asked
for $150,000 to glvo up his Interest in them
Cortlllcntcs of stock In tho Institution wero
produced as evldcnco that Stovcnson at first
had not considered himself n pnrtner'wlth
Dowle, but Judge Tuloy drew from tho wit
ncsa tho fact that tho original Btock com
pany had been abandoned and n private
ngrcomont drawn up whoroby Dowlo con
trolled everything. It was also developed
that Dowlo had nrrunged with tho mnnnger
of tho bonk to glvo Stovenbou $500 any tlmo
ho asked for It.
Dowlo'a attornoy, howover, hastened to
show that tho "doctor's" reason for so doing
was that affairs with Stevenson had not
been completely arranged.

Ilamari Attornoy Hooves flrow fror.i him tho

Dowlo'B own Bafo. Mr. Dnrnard related that
Dowio had said that wonders would novor
cease, and ho wbb utterly at a Iosb to llud
tho document among his private papers.
A sharp tilt between Judgo Tuloy and At
tornoy Packard for tho defense ensued when
Captain II. Worthlngton Judd, Bocrotnry of
Zlon Inco Industries and tho Zlon Land nnd
Investment association, wns cnllcd to tho
stand. Attornoy Heoves had naked Judd
