Race Suicide Spells Race
Improvement.

There is a popular impression
that immigrants have larger fam
lilies than the native e-born; and
this is true Of the earlier settlers.
Professor Boas of Columbia Uni
versity, who has recently con-
Quoted an extensive investigation
of our immigrants, finds that, IN
the second generation, the size
of families is about the same a.
mong the immigrants as it is a.
mong the native stock, two or
three children to a family. What
ever bearing this fact may have
upon Individual morality and the
future of the nation, Professor
Boas clearly shows that race sui
eide also spells race improve
ment. He finds the finest phys
ical types, as a rule, in the small
est families. Professor Boas pre-,
sents remarkable statistics show
| ing how the stature of children
varies according to the size of the
family. When a family has ONT
child, the height of that ont
tends to be considerably abovo
the normal. When a family ha
two children their height is still
above the normal, but not so ia
above as is that of the child o
the one-child family. In familie
of three, four, and five childre.
the average height is still abov
the normal, though in decreasin
stages; but after the fifth chill

the little island kingdom on tn
other side of the Pacific, but il
trained sailors, of which japan
has at least a hundred thousand
more than we have, and in sup
ply and transportation ships fol
the army and navy, of which she
has a hundred to our one. She
greatly over-matches us. 1t is
not every one that knows that
when our great fleet of battle
ships recently sailed around the
world, they were supplied with
coal and provisions by the ships
of other countries. This could
not be done in time of war. No
neutral ship under the interna-
tionaI code would dare to help us
in any way, and thrown on our
own resources neither our army
nor navy would be able to reach
the Philippines in two years,
while Japan could land one hun
dred thousand men there in two
weeks. Our situation will be i'm
proved as far as home defense is
concerned, when the Panama
Canal is opened and when our
fleet can get into a position to
defend the Pacific slope harbors
without the circuit of Cape Horn.
1t has been understood all along
that the canal will be amply for
titled. The few who think it
should be unguarded might look
into what Germany is doing for
the Kiel Canal and England for
the canal at Suez and also for the
Strait of Gibraltar. The Medi-
terranean Sea at it's entrance at
Gibraltar and it's exit at Port
Said may be said to be one long
British canal or strait. In case
of war no enemy would either
enter or leave the great Mediter-
ranean Sea. The great guns
mounted high on Gibraltar fully
command that magnificent en-
trance, while powerful search
lights turn night into day and
make it impossible for an enemy
to sneak in by hugging the Mo-
rocco coast, not more than eigh-
teen miles away. Our govern
ment will doubtless build power
full defenses with disappearing
guns of heaviest calibre and high
powered search light apparatus
at both ends of the Panama Ca
nal.

Washington Letter.
Washington, April 30.

Wv dOIllLS OOA AOIOOL'
Washington, April 80
The past week in Congress has
been rather tame-a little ora,
torical badinage by Senator Ray
nor of Maryland urging the in
surgent Republicans in a playful
way to align themselves where
they belong, with the Democrats.
This was answered by Senator
Dolliver of Iowa, who insisted
that the insurgent Republicans
were the real party" and that
they would continue to uphold
the banner. Debates on various
bills representing the admins
tration's conception of the Roos-
evelt policies are proceeding Ian
guidly in both houses, but more
interest is manifested in the Pin
chot-Ballinger investig alton,
where Mr.. Ballinger himself has
recently appeared as a witness,
than in the debates in Congress.
The president has left the city
for a few days. 1t no doubt af-
fords him great relief to get a.
way from the kark and care and
strain of Office. Accompanied by
his military aide, Captain Butt,
he left Washington at 7 o'clock
Friday for a weeks tour, during
which he will visit Buffalo, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and st. Louis. |
Twelve or more important en-
gagements have been made at |
these places, and the president
will deliver a number of address
ses. He gave out yesterday that |
there would be no discussion of |
politics and that several Of his
speeches would be for the bene-
fit of the farmers. He reached
Pittsburg on Sunday, where he
was the guest of his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Lafflin, whose hus-
band recently died. 1t is said
that the coming undertaking of |
tariff board in ascertaining the
cost of production of commodi-
ties at home and abroad, will be
the subject of several of the
presidents speeches while away.
It is also said that he will not a.
pologize for the Payne-Aldrich
law and will point out that he is
endeavoring to follow a scientific
method of arriving at future
tariff revision downward in ac-
cordance with the Republican
platform on which he was elect

Sunday, called it playing pol
tics" Anderson introduced tn

itics in so doing? The governo
gave good reason for his veto
what reason did Anderson ad
vance for giving young men
here and there, by vote of th'
community, the right to violate
the state law?
Anderson is a Democrat, living
in a large city, where many de-
sire the Sunday law modified ir
favor of base ball players. Does
it not seem probable that Ander.
son sought to increase his popu.
larity with base ball players by
introducing his bill? Anyhow,
it is just as easy to make out a
case of playing politics against
him as for him to make it out a.
gainst the governor. Is.
Anderson affirms that Harmon
was not elected to play the judge
and to say what is or is not con-
stitutional. That is true. Eq-
ually that he was elected COVER
nor with the power of veto on
proposed improper measures.
What would be said of him if he
allowed a measure to pass which
was obviously unconstitutional?
It belongs to the Office of COVER
nor of Ohio to scrutinize bills
before signing them. He has the
right to approve or disapprove
and veto. Of course, when he
signs a bill there is no need of
giving his reason therefor; but
when he vetoes, it is expected of
him to give his reason for it.
This he did very forcibly i'll the
matter of giving option on play
ing base ball on Sunday. It is
not playing politics, for there are
voters on both sides of the Ques-
ton.
The other matter Of complaint
against Gov. Harmon, to-wit,
that he proved himself somewhat
too flimsy in regard to the pro-
posed utilities bill, cannot be so
easily explained. Certainly, the
governor made no effort to have
the bill passed in the Senate, and
his critics accuse him of showing
favor to corporations. The gov
ernor answers by saying that he
never saw the bill until after its
rejection by the Senate, that, in
fact, he knew nothing about it.
That he knew nothing about il
must be taken in an official sense
It is true he never saw the bill
until after it's rejection; but per.
sonally he must have known
something about a measure 81
long pending and which stirred
so much corporation opposition
We guess that the governo
meant to say that officially HI
knew nothing about it.
Be that as it may, it is no
quite plain that Governor Har
mon was playing politics in tn
matter. The people of Ohio ar

UP TO BUSINESS man.
Julius Henry Cohen Says He Is Re-
sponsible for Graft.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE business
men of this country are chiefly to
blame for the political graft and cor
ruption so widespread throughout the
nation" said Julius Henry Cohen,
lawyer of New York, in an address
before the members of the Chicago
Creditors association at their banquet
last night. His subject was Business
and Politics.
I'VE hear great deal about the
grating legislature and the bribe-
taking public official in these days.
said Cohen, 'but, gentlemen I want
to ask you who makes possible this
graft and who offers these brides. We
have in Chicago and New York two
specific instances.
In my own city we have legislative
scandal in which a member of the
legislature is accused of accepting
$1,000 as a bride for his vote. My
friends, bridge companies are not run
by legislatures, they are managed by
business. While we have grown COM
mercially powerful are we becoming
morally great? I think not, and the
chief reason why we are not is that
the very men to whom belongs the
chief credit for our tremendous pros
perity are the men who exercise the
most malign influence over our public
morals. The business man of the
country must establish a standard of

OIL MPlC GAMES.
Interest Already Evidenced for 1912
Meet in Stockholm.

New York, Feb. 17.-Interest is al
ready being evidenced by athletic Of
ficials in the Olympic games which are
to be revived in Stockholm, Sweden, in
June, 1912. From a committee of one
of the athletic clubs here comes the
announcement that the general ar
rangements for the meeting have al
ready been made by the international
Olympic committee of which Baron
Pierre de Goubert, of Paris, is presi-
dent and the Swedish Olympic commit
tee, of which the crown prince is hon
orary president, has practically com
pleted arrangements for the more i'm
portant games and races.
The great event will be the Marathon
race.
The Swedes will enlarge the Old
Greek pentathlon-a five sided, contest,
to what is termed the tiekamp, with ten
contests.
The meeting will be drawn up with
the leading idea, that of preserving the
ancient Greek model, and the events as
ISOLATED with the British Olympics.
The stadium site at Stockholm is in
a picturesque position between the
town and the forest. 1t is the Idrotts-
parker. an old athletic ground whieh
is being remodeled for the Olympic
meeting. The Swedish Olympic COM
mittee will submit its completed pro-
gram in May to the international COM
mittee, which is to meet at Budapest.
