effected an undesirable change In the posi-

from the census that these classes In
the United States during the last tLr,,
years have increased 400 per eat, and that
while the population Of the country has only
doubled. A careful examination OF statis-
tics relating to the deaf and dumb show thai
In their case there has been a real increase
greater than the population. Statistics 10
Mr.. Bells possession show that in 1919 deaf
mutes began to marry partners who wore
deaf and dumb. The per centagb Of inter-
marriages has continually increased, until
now not less than 90 per cent. Of all the deaf
mutes who marry, marry partners who are
themselves deaf and dumb. The latest sta
tist:cs collected by Prof Bell include I443
cases of marriage OF these 144s deaf mutes
II Tor pei cent? had married hearing per-
sons, and 1872 Tor 95 per cent? had intermar-
ried among themselves. In 1928 deaf mute
child was born of a deaf-mute father and
mother, and now such cases can be numbered
by the hundred. The Professors statistics
are based upon list of 52S deaf-mutes,
mostly young, who have one or both parents
deaf. Some of these children have already
married deaf husbands or wives. and deaf
offspring have appeared in tia third genera
ton. Prof. Bells list Of deaf children of

when tie 10th census was taken. We obtain
the following resu Is: 1. One person to
every 1880 OF the population was deaf and
dumb, and one person in every Ga OF the deaf
mute population was child of deaf mute
parents. 3 One person in every 2736 of the
general population was deaf from birth, and
one person in every 80 of the eongenitally
deaf population was child of deaf mute
parents The laws of heredity indicate
that, II these children should marry congen-
italy deaf husbands or wives, an increased
proportion of deaf offspring will appear in
the next generation and that the continuous
intermarriage of congenital deaf mutes from
generation to generation may ultimately re-
suit In the formation of deaf variety of the
human race in America, In which all or most
OF the children will be born deaf. Prof. Bell
urges the government to inquire very care

persons and the extent to which their defects

NEW ENGLAND AND THE CANADIAN

In this matter, what Is the Interest of
Boston is the interest Of all New England,
with the possible exception of Connecticut !;
and II ten New England senators came out
directly In opposition to proposed legislation
intended to prevent Canadian railroad
competition, We feel confident that the
measure could not be carried through, no
matter how strongly it might be advocated
by those representing the great American
trunk lines of railroad. For this reason, it
seems to us that not only must our merchants
make vigorous protest before the Senate
committee, but they should, by means OF
their correspondence and business acquaint
ances throughout the New England states.

when the matter comes up, as it doubtless

1t Is not only In Portland Boston and New
England that the relations of the Canadian
railroads to the inter. State commerce OF the
United States are viewed with absorbing In
terest The great Northwest is equally or
even more interested, although the issue for
them Is not precisely what it is for New
England. The issue In the Northwest is
whether Chicago shall be the depot Of sup
plies coming into and going out OF that great
region comprising the States OF Wisconsin
Minnesota and Dakota, or whether the
cities of st. Paul aud Minneapolis shall do
the distributing. Formerly Chicago was the
centre OF all the trunk lines and could dictate
But since the short line cutting over from
st. Paul and Minneapolis to Sault Ste Marie
and then going, by a connection with the
Canadian Pacific, In nearly bee line to the
New England coast, has been completed and
entered the lists as the $500 Line" this two
cities have been enabled to compete with

said: "When the 800" entered the field as

age OF Minneapolis and st Paul was at an

on Northwestern c0plmercs. but 10 re-
manned for the present season TO demon
strate not only that the twin cities are in
position to hold their own wish perfect ease
against the desperate efforts OF Chicago to
reconquer the lost territory. but also to as
sumo the offensive with excellent prospects
Of success. The complete surrender OF all
through business to the Northern lines
proves something more than that the power
to dictate has passed out Of the hands OF
Chicago for all time to come" The ambition
Of ST. Paul and Minneapolis il thus set forth:
when the freight rates between the twin
cities and the Atlantic seab0ard are reduced
to the level between Chicago and Atlantic
poiuts, the jobbers OF Minneapolis and St
Paul can undersell their Chicago competitors
not only in The vast territory lying north,
northwe't and west of the twin cities, but
also in large territory extending south and
southwest from the distributing centes 1T the
Falls of st. Anthony" This ambition is OF
course based upon the short connection
which the two cities can get with this Allan
tic seaboard through the $500 Line" Of
which the Canadian Pacific is link.
Chicago will not, OF course, surrender her
commercial domination without struggle
The indications are that she has already
began that struggle, and that her first great
move is TO shut off the Canadian roads, there
by breaking her rival line Of supplies through
Canadian territory. The Vanderbilt d

One of the first endeavors of the Republi-
cans after the organization of Congress will
beto so change the rules that the majority may
have control of the business of the House.
Congressman Reed has clearly shown how
the House Of Representatives is at the mercy
now Of even very small minority, and how
important legislation of which the great ma
jority of the House are in favor can be pre-
vented by filibustering under the rules. The
Democrats will probably resist any
change. But the matter ought not
to be regarded as party measure at all.
The majority OF the House of Representa-
tives. no matter which party 1t represents,
should have the power TO enact such legisla-
tion as 1t desires. No other condition is con-
sistent with republican form of govern
ment, the foundation principle of which is
that the majority shall govern.
