OF RECENT WRECKS
COMMISSIONERS
REPORT.

The Interstate commerce commits
sion yesterday sent to the Senate an
exhaustive report concerning the in
vestigations made of the workings OF
the block system to prevent railroad
accidents. The commission recon-
mends the passage OF bill which II
submitted a year ago, that would
compel all railroads to adopt the
system, but now suggests that the
time for compliance with compul-
sorry features be extended three OF
four years at present, as 1t would
take from one to three years for all
roads to equip with the block sys
tenn.
Whether law is passed at the
present session or not, the commits.
sion asks that II be authorized &c
make an official investigation OF al
train accidents. Reference is made
to the investigation OF the recent
wrecks on the Southern and the Bal.
timore and Ohio railroads both OF
which have the block systems. AL.
though these Investigations are not
complete, the commission says the
wrecks cannot be charged to failure
OF the block system, but rather tc
the iaxity Of the operation OF the
system. There are now IS,743 miles
OF railroads operatinq 4rafna vndo,
the block system, OF which 1927
miles are automatically operated. and
4l,916 controlled by manual appara-
tus. The report deals with methods
employed, etc. No effort Is made
however to decide which IS the best
OF the various kinds, nor does the
commission urge that the automatic
system be demanded at this time.

RAISE NOT MORE
BUT BETTER KIDS.
RACE SUICIDE rs
A FALSE ALARM.
DOCTOR DECLARES CoUNTRY,S
WIVES ARE GOVERNED BY
PROPER INSTINCTS.

Race suicide is groundless
fear; the impulse OF American wives
is to raise not more, but better
children" declared DR.. Charles A.
Reed, OF Cincinnati, former presi-
dent OF the American Medical AS
sociation recently before the Cleve-
land, o., Medical Library association.
DR.. Reed treated the subject OF
The American Family" in bold
and original way. He said in part:
"A question we often hear dis
cussed today is that OF race suicide
and we are asked to believe that
this splendid race in the very ze-
NTH OF its power is deliberately com
mitting an act Of self-destruction. 1t
is a theory which has been taken
hold OF by some very eminent medic
al authorities and we cannot seek
to disregard it.
AS matter of fact the last
census showed a declining birth rate
in several OF the states of the un-
lon, but in none was the birth rate
less than the death rate, so that
the balance was still on the right
side.
"A short glance at history will
show us that we have nothing to be
afraid OF in race suicide. While the
population OF Europe increased on
ly sevenfold in four centuries be
tween the fifteenth and the nine
teenth centuries the population of
the United States increased fvefold
in only sixty years, between 1910
and 1900.
I'VE are told that the native
American women are falling far
behind in child bearing and that
wealth and luxury are operating to
the detriment OF the race. That I
am prepared to deny with all the
knowledge gained from twenty
five years experience in the medical
profession. The impulse Of American
wives today is not to bear more. but
better progeny.
This feeling is based upon the
most advanced ideas of Christian
ity and humanity. 1t would be easier
for them to abandon themselves to
the unrestrained fecundity OF the
peasant, but they are wise enough
to see that the child who is brought
into the world under inferior con
ditions will probably die sooner and
accomplish less than the child who
is given all the advantages OF a
good bringing up and education. II
Is this loyalty to the unconceived
generations which keeps the birth
rate down and ] see in it the very
reason why the Anglo-saxon elemenl
OF the population instead OF LOSING
its power should retain It. The chill
dren who are coming from Anglo
Saxon parents now are few in mum
ber but fitted to be leaders"
