Following the precedent recently
established the House of Representa-
tives of the Wisconsin Legislature
last week turned down the transpor-
tation committee by advancing the
railroad bills, one by Nye provinding
for the collection of damage for fires
caused by locomotive engines, doub-
ling the damages in case a railroad
seeks to delay matters, and one by
Wells compelling the railroads to
establish comfort stations in con-
nection with depots where tickets are
sold.
To show what the smaller cities of
the United States can do to beautify
grounds, parks and public squares,
the American Civic association, with
headquarters at Washington, will use
photographs of the civic center of

of photographs and they will be used

There seems to be rather wide
spread interest among public men
in,securing better and more uniform
divorce laws throughout. the country.
and it has been pointed out that
President Taft, during his western
trip, will advocate uniform laws
whereby a divorced man or woman
denied the right of marriage in one
state, shall not remarry in another
state. The president desires that all
states prohibit such marriage and
frame laws constituting violation
OF these edicts of the court punish
able as otherwise provided in the
case OF. bigamy. Of course one hears
the old cry that it is impossible to
frame uniform laws throughout the
country, but in contradiction of this
are the statutes of the different states
making uniform laws concerning ne
gotiable instruments.

Is the Large Family Passing?

A bit Of information from the his
tory of the reigning families of Eu
rope is that good kings and good
queens have the large families and
the bad ones leave few descendants.
The figures given are for offspring
who reached maturity and are, OF
course, much lower than the birth
rate figures. The men of the lowest
group of moral qualities averaged
only 1888 adult children and the wo-
men LAB. With the highest grade,
including such kings as William OF
Orange and Gustavus Adolphus and
such queens as Victoria and Isabelle
of CASTLE, the number of adult child
rem was 400 for kings and $50 for
queens. Evidently the sterility and
perverted instinct of the modern So
ciety woman is not new in the world,
but has probably always been associ-
ated with the luxurious dissipat on
which is sign of the decay of the
racial stock.
The averages do not stand out in
our minds like examples. Certainly
more indelible impressions is left
in our minds by such items as the
nine children of Queen Victoria or
the Is brothers and sisters with
which BENJAMIN Franklin is accred-
tied, or the case of a Russian woman
who, according to recent reports, is
at 81 the mother of nine living child
rem.
But against particular examples OF
good stock coming from large fam
lilies, there can always be found exam
pies of lonely sons achieving fame.
Hence the value of these less striking
statistics; which, with all the effect
of chance examples eliminated, prove
that the large family is associated
with good stock than the reverse.
Sir Francis Gallon, who is perhaps
the worlds greatest authority upon
the subject, came to the conclusion
that the best men of the nation come
from among the younger children of
the large family.-From Physical

Des Moines. Dec. 21.-What Judge

to put it up 10 the supreme court TO
decide how TO get out Of a nuddle into

court. The lawyers presented good
many decisions bearing on the prin-

Bradshaw stated that these precedents

new legislation in Iowa. Ali the law
yers who have discussed the case agree
in stating that this is one of the cases
for which the Iowa law does not make
provision in a manner to conform to
the popular opinion. Much sentiment
has been aroused on the theory tina. 1t

loose On the community which, OF
course. has not been proposed, but tho
belief prevails that this sort Of clamor
moved both the court and the jury 10
direct that Kelly be sent 10 Ananosa

sane. Lawyers say that Iowa ought TO
have some way of disposing OF the
criminal insane.
Judge Bradshaw did not indicate in
his ruling what he thought about the
merits of the case. but contented him.
self with the briefest possible statement
that under the law he could not do
other than impose an indeterm!nate
sentence on DR.. Kelly. which under the
law can not exceed eight years for
manslaughter.
In the appeal to the supreme court
stress will be laid not only on the fact
that the judgment is inconsistent with
the findings as. 20 insanity. but that
the evidence in the case overwhelming
