Not the least marvellous Of the many

screws are so small that the thread and

the naked eye. IL takes about 10000 Of
these little screws, made by the automatic
machines, to make pound, and yet they
are perfect in shape. They are made thus

Is it Heredity?


From the st. Joe Herald
- CARLYLE Harris, an educated son of an
''emancipated" mother has been recently
sentenced to death for the murder of a
girl-wife in New York. Harris has
turned out to be an ultra-retined GRIM
iual-a debauchee of the worst type
Mrs. Harris, the mother, is the author of
a number of books on how to raise, chill
dren. The question now being agitated
is, can a woman be public reformer. a
platformer agitator and do her d<y as
mother: Carlyle Harris may have had
the seeds of murder planted in him be-
fore his birth and it may be that heredity
had something to do with 1T.
The most advanced scientific thinkers
are inclined to the doctrine that a large
share of ones virtues or vices are trans
mitted. On the other hand there are
those who cite Rousseau and Shelley as
illustrations of fathers with theories,
whose families go to perdition. 1t IS
safe to assert that the Harris text books
on how to raise children will not have
increased sale after the death of the son.

Loud Speaking Telephone,

Professor Lucien l. Blake, professor of
physics and electrical engineering in the
state university at Lawrence, has just
succeeded in series of remarkable ex-
periments by which he now has lound
speaking telephone. The professor has
been working at the matter for long
time and has the satisfaction of hearing
the voices in the telephone at distance
of ten and fifteen feet from the receiver.
At an experimental exhibition given by
the professor few days ago he was en-
abled to give large number of friends a
concert by attaching a music box to one
end of the wire and attaching his lound
speaking apparatus to the other end; the
music was very distinctly heard and the
visitors could all hear al once.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

The bill introduced in the senate by
Mr.. Kyle of South Dakota a few days
ago providing for IN amendment to the
federal constitution authorizing congress
to enact and the government to- enforce
uniform law governing the subject of
marriage aid divorce, has provoked
considerable discussion In the public
prints. the bulk of the argument being
in favor of more uniform laws than at
present prevail throughout the country.
Under the present crazy-quilt system
Of dealing with marriage and divorce,
and what is a crime in Pennsylvania
may be a virtue in New York. The
nuptial knot that is tied in Massachusetts
and that may not be severed III that
state without a severe and painful
ordeal may be united in Dakota upon a
very slight pretext. Chicago has long
enjoyed an unenviable position as the
city of divorces, and we have recently
had the doctrine set forth in New York
that SO far as the Empire State was
concerned, Capitalization was equivalent
to matrimony, proposition which could
not find favor in any other state in the
Union. In these days of rapid transit
and the means of swift communication,
when the imaginary lines dividing states
are blotted out by the electric telegraph
and the express trains, the people should
not be content with stage-coach legisla-
ton on a question of such universal in
terest as marriage.
NEatrimony is the tie that binds the
home together, and happy homes are the
surest safeguards of government here
and happiness hereafter. The question
is of course, one for ''society, the home
and the church." but not exclusively so,
since it also concerns civilization, in the
abstract, and must therefore to some ex-
tent and in certain number of cases
come under the influence of legislation
and the jurisdiction of the courts. Those
who offend against society and against
the certain sacred canons of the church as
well as the home are amenable to the
laws of the land, and SO long as any
state undertakes to legislate on the
marriage question, every reasonable
mind must admit that the law on the
subject should be in effect the same in
Main, as in California, in Pennsylvania
as in Illinois.
1t is not clear, however, that this
uniformity should be or could be best
effected by the Kyle method. Indeed,
it is seriously doubted that the general
government should be intrusted with
as important and delicate an undertake
ing. True, the best interests of society,
and in the estimation of many the per-
petuity of our form of government, are
involved in the question, and it does
seem that there ought to be and is
enough of patriotic JUNCTION and statecraft
among the people to devise means of
reform without running to the national
capital. Several of the states have the
matter under serious consideration now
and much is expected from the confer
ence of Legislative committees already
provided for, and there is nothing in the
way of a general conference among all
the states through such committees, and
the construction and adoption of a
satisfactory code on the subject.

Oklahoma may not get statehood, but
no stronger trio for its advocacy could
be selected than Horace Speed, Sidney
Clarke and William Hackney, who ap-

tories, Thursday. They can summon
every available point TO their aid on this
matter, and ii is not at all improbable
that their addresses may have changed
the sentiment of the committee, which
has been said to be against statehood.

A Timely Reform,

From the Sa1na Republican.
Judge Horton of Chicago declares that
his divorce court is not variety show
and refuses to allow any but parties in
terested in the suits to be present. This
reform could be inaugurated in many
Kansas courts with benefit to the COM
munity at large. 1t is repulsive and dis
gushing to see how court room will be
crowded when a case is to be tried where
the evidence is expected to be of low
or vulgar nature.

thing. Ii Is not true. The Republican

No Samaritanism in 1t.

From the Leavenworth Times.
The bill cutting off pensions to persons
who make their homes in foreign
countries ought to pass. 1t may work
hardships in some cases, but laws are not
made for particular cases and as a rule
those persons who have deserted this
country for other countries ought to
look to their adopted lands for support.
The American pensioner ought to be an
American citizen, helping to build up
this country. Uncle Sans money should

From the Emporia Republican.
A clinching reason why Republicans
should not force prohibition into the
campaign as an issue this year is because
the party they have to whip is making
no attack on prohibition and is not
hostile towards it. Raising the question
would simply be tearing open old
wounds which the good of the republi-
can party requires shall remain healed.
