This will mean an expenditure of about S4,500,O00 but it will eliminate thirty six dangerous grade crossings where several persosn have been killed in the last year. This track is now be- ing used by the Northwestern Ele- vated street railroad, with fast trains running every few minutes, and it's elevation is considered the most i'm portant work still undone. The rail roads bitterly fought track elevation when the campaign in it's favor was first started, but they have all come around in favor of it as an economical saving.

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In the operation Of the factors of
non-kindred mating, of life-lasting pa
rental affection, and of the necessity
for training in development the present
day Caucasian was evolved. 1t Is not
known why non-kindred mating tends
to result in more favorable offspring
than does kindred mating. but 1t is
known to be so. 1t is obvious that
both mates should be well-conditioned,
and to this end the proper relation be-
tween Caucasians is that of friendli-
ness and sympathy. But as this sym
pathy is social in its effect 1t is proper
only between members of the same
race.
BY reason of the fact that they are
unable to control the prenatal i'm
pressions Of their offspring, Caucasian
parents are unable to preordain their
offspring's peculiarities. When the
peculiarities resemble those of some
case of atavism. Atavism is a
term that means the father of a great
grandfather. But whatever the pecu-
liarities may be the parental affection
continues until death. This parental
affection not only involves considera-
ton for probable similar affection in
ones offspring and so on continuously,
but II also involves considera ton for
the co-ancesters OF ones future de-
scendants.
The proper development of the Cau-
casian requires food. clothing. shelter,

CRACES.

A speaker at the prison congress in
Omaha said that in 1895 there were
for every million of population lls
homicides in this country; in Italy less
than eighteen; in Canada less than
thirteen; in Great Britain less than
nine, and in Germany less than five.
Then he presented statistics on the
proportions of convictions in this and
other countries, showing that the
average murderer here has disgrace
fully good chance of going scot free,
and that anything like adequate pun
ishment-the punishment, at any rate,
which the statutes prescribe as ade-
quate-is very rarely inflicted.
In 1910, he declared, only one homi-
eide in eighty-six was capitally pun
ished, while the year before one in
seventy-four had been 80 punished.
Last year in London there were nine
teen murders. Five of the criminals
committed suicide; ten were caught
and convicted; four escaped.
The same year in New York city ll9
cases were reported to the grand jury,
and only forty-five convictions secured
Chicago had POP cases in the year, re-
sulting in fifteen penitentiary SEN
tences and one hanging. All the Others
went free.
Small wonder that President Taft
pleads for reformation of court prac'
tice in criminal cases. The condition ID
one of the most glaring reproaches to
the nation. 1t is recognized the world
over as the evidence that we are about
alf-civilized, and that our institu

WANTS RECEIVERS
