TO FIX A TYPE
Kaiser Interested in Professor s
Plan for Physical
Standard.
WOULD HAVE ALL BLONDS
Rival Scientists, However. Insist That
Scheme Is Based on Wrong
Conception.

Kaiser Wilhelm is reported to be in.
/ terested in plan proposed by Pro
fessor Otto Hauser for the propaga-
ton of a fixed German type OF human
/ ity, a type which will be as fixed as
the Jewish in its characteristics. if the
! suggestions of the professor can ever
/ be carried out A national subscrip-
! ton is suggested to put the novel
/ movement on permanent basis
/ The fixed type is to be produced as
follows: Only typical" couples are to
be allowed TO mate. The man is to be
not more than thirty years old. the
woman not over twenty-eight. and
each have n perfect health certificate.
The man should be at least five feet
seven inches tall, the woman not IN
der five feet six inches. Neither the
man nor the woman should have dark
hair. It's tint may range from blond
to auburn. The eyes of the pair
should be pure blue without any tint
Of brown
The complexion should be fair to
ruddy, without any suggestion of heav-
mess or "beefiness" The nose ought
to be strongest and narrow, the chin
square and powerful and the skull
well developed at the back. This kind
of n skull is supposed to indicate love
of family and children. The man and
the woman must be of German de-
scent and must bear a German name
and speak the language of Germany.
These mated couples" are to get
wedding gift Of $125 and an additional
grant for each child born. The cou-
pies may settle in the United States if
they prefer.
Other German scientists who have
considered Professor Hauser's plan for
fixed North German type" assert
the whole idea is based on wrong in
depreciation of the laws of nature.
1t recently has been pointed out by
Major Charles F. Woodruff of the
United States army that it is impos-
sible to transplant fixed type except
to territory where the weather con-
soil. temperature and other
natural environments are precisely as
they were in the place from which the
type has moved.
EMIGRATION CHANGES TYPES.
The blond Scandinavians and leu
tonic types. the major says. already
are passing out of existence in the
United States either by the death of
the persons composing the type or by
the modification of the type into one
of much darker complexion.
With the change in complexion. goes
an alteration 10 the features-in the
shape of the nose. the expression of
the mouth, etc.
Thus there can be, It is asserted. no
fixed type of humanity outside of the
region where the type was produced.
AS for Germany. it is pointed out that
the Hauser blends cannot be propa-
gated on a large scale outside of Prus-
STA on account OF the pronounced tend
ency toward darker complexion in
other parts Of the empire Already
there is strong jealousy of Prussia

Tould you believe that the baseball

q association since the circuit was
/ formed in 1901?
Rather staggering, isn't it? But
4 those are the official figures To be
more exact, the sum is $24,450.35.
To make up this deficit. which has
averaged about $2,7Oo per anuum,
the men who have been behind base
ball in this city have resorted TO var
ious expedients and they have found
it thankiess task. They have been
accused of being in the game for the
money they were getting out of il
and the patriotism of their motives
questioned in various ways. So it is,
perhaps, not strange that now, at The
close of the poorest year from
financial standpoint that the club has
had, that they have taken a stand FOR
economy and have asserted that. n
the event the league fails to taEe
steps to place the game on self
sustaining basis they are ready TO
quit.
IN OTHER CITIES.
One or two Three-Eye cities have
millionaire owners back of their
teams who are willing TO plunge for
a season or two merely for the nov
city of winning a pennant. In some
cities powerful commercial organi-
cations back the teams merely as an
advertising asset. Again, in one
case, which need not be mentioned. +
the owner of the club makes his
money out of the sale of players and .
he must have a winning team at
whatever cost in order TO advertise
his material to the best advantage.
1t has fallen upon a few men to
keep the game going in Rock Island /
and they have certainly proven their
public spirit in doing it. They pull
ed through many a crisis where
others succumbed. till now Rock Is
land and Bloomington are the only
cities left that have stuck all the way
through They have not profited
personally either directly or indi-A
rectly. They have long since ceased
to follow the game as a mere matter
of sport and the glamor Of the II
authority they have been permitted II
to exercise disappeared in the early
days of the league. And Vet they
have kept things going up to now I
and are ready to continue to furnish f
Rock Island with baseball, provided I
they are fully assured that the game i
will be placed on basis where it I
will pay its own way. I

OIO LOBBY SEEK HARMON ?
Democratic Press Intimates as Much.
Claims Governor "Can
Stand Test"

Stand Test"
I'm all conscience" cries a chorus
( Of Ohio Democratic newspapers,
Governor Harmon can stand the test
of comparison with the Republican
legislature on the lobby question, for
the Republican legislature remained
welded to its idols"
Mercy on us! Is this a naive ad-
mission that the actions of Uncle
Jud" haV9 at times been due to the
influence of a lobby? At all events,
it is relief to know that he is ready
to stand the test of comparison"
with the Legislature.
Open confession is good FOR the
soul. Having gone this far, the Dem
ocratic press should out with it. Give
US a bill OF particulars!
Was 1t, after all, the insidious and
iniquitous whisky lobby that defeated
the Black bill and not Governor Har-
mon, as has been reported?
And was it the meddlesome Anti
Saloon league which encompassed
the defeat of the Dean bill when it
stood but two Democratic senate
votes from victory?
This excuse also absolves the gov.
ernOr from any blame for the failure
of the Woods utilities bill 1t was
the wicked corporation lobby which
influenced him In this as Well-and
probably this explains why the gov
ernoT had never read the bill" until
1t was KILLED,
Then hack came the lobby to veto
the Sunday baseball bill. The gov
ernoT never would have done it, be-
cause he likes to play golf on Sun
days himself; and being a man of
broad sympathies he would never
deny to others the recreation he him
self enjoys.
The experiences of the governor
must have been quite as narrowing
and vastly more interesting than
those OF the esteemed Cyrus Winters,
who hopes to run with the governor
this fall, for the Office of secretary of
state. Look out for the early publ.

with mankind you have probably
come to the conclusion that there
are ninetynine knockers to one
booster. This l find to be true
with reference to military mat
ters. The American people for
centuries were crack rifle shots,
and owing to distance from war
ring countries had no need of a
standing army. Now few people |
are good shots, the vast majority
have never fired a rife and mod
ern steamships and transports
have eliminated distances.
War is sheol and no one wants
it, least of all our army men,
who, by reason Of study of for
eign conditions, know that we
are poorly prepared for conflict
with a first class country. The
masses of the people are busy
making money, and do not even
want to listen to a fair statement
of facts. Mistaking bombast for
patriotism they will defiantly as
sert that I'VE can whip any
country or combination of coun-
tries" That sounds nice and l
hope it is true, but they are alb
solutely mistaken in supposing
that any foreign country bent on
war with US will wait until we
get ready, and they are equally
mistaken in thinking that all we
have to do is to put man in a
uniform and give him rifle and
the enemy will flee.
In times of peace we all believe
in, and hope for, arbitration and
adjustment of difficulties, but
who in 1898 said a kind word for
Spain after the sinking of the
Maine, and who advocated that
the matter be adjusted by Spain,
paying so much to the family OF
each sailor killed? No one. The
United States will enter upon nc
war unjustly, but when we must
fight we should be prepared
Washington said, ''in time OF
peace prepare for war" knowing
that it is too late to get ready
after hostilities have begun.
The temper of the American
people does not favor a large
standing army and the solution
lies in having a we'll drilled anC
equipped National Guard. The
people are taxed to support the
Guard, and it is nearest the peO.
pie because the armories are in
our midst and the members of it
are our relatives and neighbors.
The people should therefore en-
courage the young men to get the
training which is offered free of
cost, rather than make the work
of the recruiting officers difficult.
Patriotic and far-seeing en-
ployers will willingly let their
soldier clerk go to camp one week
each fall. In some localities the
employer even allows the clerks
pay to go on, although tn e
guardsman gets camp pay.

nineteen years with the Guard of
