SURVIVAL
OF
THE
FITTEST
'We
are
often
told
that
human
laws
are
at
variance
with
natural
laws
but
with
this
we
can
hardly
agree.
Man
did
not
evolve
the
law
of
the
survival
of
the
fittest.
That
was
a
natural
law.
Even
today
in
the
forest
and
field
the
fit
survive
and
the
unfit
quickly
become
victims
of
their
own
unfitness.
If
a
rabbit
is
slow,
the
fox
gets'it.
If
the
bird
is
not
alert,
the
hawk
or
owl
gets
it:
In
the
woods
none
die
a
natural
death
as
we
understands.
'All
die
victims
of
their
own
incapacity.
CHRISTIAN
LAWS
Natural
law
and
Christian
law
are
quite
different.
Under
the
latter
the
unfit
are
cared
for
and
too
often
allowed
to
perpetuate
themselves,
thus
breeding
degenerates.
Sometimes
we
allow
sentiment
to
get
the
better
of
our
good
sense
and
the
result
is
fatal.
The
farmer
chooses
his
stock
carefully
so
that
there
shall
be
development
instead
of
degeneration.
The
poultry
raises
tries
to
develop
the
most
perfect
individual
and
with
a
goodly
measure
of
success,,
but
in
the
human
race
often
it
is
the
poorest
specimens
that
perpetuate
while
the
more
highly
developed
die
out.

Very
serious
complaint
is
made
at
the
action
of
some
autp'drivers
in
the
city,
who,
it
is
claimed,
habitually
take
twb-thirds
of
the
road
when
passing
other
cars,
almost
crowding
them
off
the
road.
Also
there
are
complaints
that
some
drivers
make
too
great
speed
for
the
safety
of
others
on
the
road.
It
is
a
rather
diffjfiujattgr
to
regulate
road
offences,
because
,the
ppljcfrhave
to
either
catch
the
offender
or
rely
on
evidence
of
others
which
is
seldom
forthcoming.
Some
of
the
offenders
are
taxi
drivers
but
there
are
also
others.

Macioi

made
public
here.
Declaring
that
if
the
British
people
want
the
Canadian
market
they
must
go
after
it
and
be
ore-pared
to
pay
the
price,
Mr.
Sclan-ders
says
the
lack
of
personal
touch
between
Great
Britain
and
Canada
has
enabled
the
United
States
to
secure
a
large
share
of
Canada's
business.
The
letter
follows:
'Thanks
for
your
favor
of
the
first;
and
I
quite
agree
that
so
far
as
the
great
Port
of
London
is
concerned,
people
on
this
side
probably
know
less
of
it
than
they
do

and
IJv?rpool.
Perhaps
we
do

have
enough

Perhaps
the
shipping
interests
of
London
have
not
fully
awakened
to
the
importance
the
ever-growing
Importance
of
Canada's
ocean
traffic.
At
any
rate,
according
to
my
own
experience
I
would

of
the
Port
of
London
on
this
side.
"Of
course,
people
everywhere
are
most
interested
in
things
that
directly
or
indirectly
touch
them.
For
instance,
what
our
people
here
think
most
of
is
a
line
of
steamships
operating
regularly
from
the
port
oi
St.
Jonn.
.such
steamers
constitute,
as
it
were,
the
thread
that
strings
our
little
bead
to
other
beads
elsewhere.
"Particularly
during
the
past
the
world
seem
to
have
awakened
in
a
very
thorough
sense
to
the
value
of
good
pubicity.
But,
In
my
respectful
opinion,
such
publicity
must
be
followed
up
by
the
personal
touch
which,
in
turn,
must
involve
some
practical
proposition
attractive
to
the
other
fellow.
I
would
say
