Senator Davis OF Minnesota. being
guest at an elaborate luncheon given
Alumni day at the University OF Penn
sylvania. delivered an address concern
Ing the foreign relations of the United
States. in the course OF which he spoke
as follows:
The foreign policy OF this country
has usually been Of that formal char
acter which consists in negotiating
those conventions which maintain the
peaceful intercourse OF states. We have
followed, with very few exceptions. the
wise advice OF Washington. not to in
volve ourselves In entangling alliances
with European states, and to preserve
our peculiar and powerful isolation
from their political concerns has been
the line upon which our foreign rela-
tions have been conductedN We have
been too remote and our latent power
has been too great TO be attacked or
even made the subject Of serious di-
plomatic aggression by European states
singly or in combination.
''As TO any expansion OF our domln-
ions. II has never been asserted by the
most adverse critic OF our institutions
that the cause of civilization and hui
man freedom would not be thereby pro-
NOTED.
II think II can be safely said that
they who once threatened intervention
between the United States and Spain
abandoned that desire very quickly ar
ter the momentous events of Manila
and Santiago. and will never again en-
tertain the design OF similar intrusion
under any circumstances that we can
now imagine.
II believe that these victories have
done more To assure the peace of the
world than all OF the alliances and in
ternational concerts which have been
effected during the last fifty years"
II is well 10 be respected for our ply
sical strength; but far better for our in
tesrity. unselnshness and Intellectual
powers. These are the things In the

A fine instance OF genealogical pur-
suits practically applied has Just been
shown by DIR. Charles K. Rowell. a
prominen. physician at Stamford. Conn.
A young man. by name Cross, was
tried for murder and convicted, and
sentenced to be hanged He applied for
a communication Of sentence to the board
OF pardbns and was refused. This was
his pedigree. according to the research
es or DIR. Rowell: The family history
was of such a nature that only one
kind OF offspring could be looked for
that OF a moral Degenerate; a creature
probably predestined by the accident OF
his birth to insane impulses. That his
tory, in brief. was this: The mother
was q drunken prostitute. an epileptic.
weak-minded. subject to furious fits Of
passion. tried to murder her husband,
and died drunk in the streets. The
grandmother and aunts on the mothers
side were ali epileptics. all drunkards.
and all prostitutes. The grand mother
on the mothers side died in an insane
asylum. and a brother of the mother
died raving crazy. The father was an
epileptic. drunkard, and weak-mind-
ed The fathers brother was an epilep-
tic and weak-mnded. The grandfather
on the fathers side was subject TO
epilepsy"
A child wi such pedigree should
be hanged instantly upon his birth.
Why wait for him to commit some aw-
full murder. and then hang? But here
comes in the moral lesson-when will
men consider IL?

There is more than possibility
that the mayor will be removed from

adds that he is proceeding along his
