Speaker Recommends Fl Years

President of Eueenic Society Explains
to English Royal Commission
His Views on Marriage
Certificate of Fitness

London.-The eugenic view of mat
rimony. including the proposal to es-
tablish a new age limit for marriage.
was explained to the royal commits
sion on divorce by Mr. Montague
Crackenthorpe, X. c., president of
the Eugenic Society
In this view. he said, marriage was
an institution designed, amongst other
things, for the continuance of the
human race. 1t should therefore. be
regulated by the community, which
had great interest in the children
born into It,
One-half of eugenic teaching was
concerned with the production of the
fit, the other with the elimination of
the unfit. So when certain defects
were present before marriage In one
of the intending parties the marriage
should not take place and If they de-
veloped after marriage it should be
dissoluble at the instance Of the I'M
blemished party.
AS to insanity, though in sense a
spouse was taken for better or for
worse, to propagate children for
worse" was a wicked and selfish act
that must hinder the community's
progress.
1t is absolutely cruel that n man
should marry girl of whom he knows
very little-except that he has met
her In society and regarded her as a
charming object-and shortly after
marriage she should show herself Of
unsound mind and has to be put away.
and that man is made a cellbate
against his will.
AS to the equality of the sexes. It
was contended that there should be
perfect equality. but biologically the
sexes were not and never could be
made equal. The sexes started equal,
but with adolescence they differen-
tiated and nature had ordained that
The sexes were not equal. for you
must consider consequences. If a sin
gle act on the part of man be fol
lowed by the same legal consequence
as misconduct on the part of a wife
divorce will be made too easy" for a
little collision would always bring
about a divorce.
Marriage" continued Mr. Crackan-
thorpe, should only be permitted aft

Drink he went on, had pernicious
effect on mentally unstable people,
and caused the sending of many to
asylums. A very small quantity made
them anti-social and insane. He did
not find that the children of drunkards
were feeble minded. but if the In
fluence existed for two or three gen.
erations disease manifested itself.
DR. Chambers, joint editor of the
Journal of Mental Science, said that
the remedy lay not in making insan-
ity a ground for divorce, but in pre-
venting the marriage of the unfit.
The knowledge that insanity was a
ground for divorce would have a pre-
judicial effect on the mental health OF
some people. and would distress the
minds and retards the recoveries of
many of the insane who were under
care
The last witness of the day was DR..
G. Fl. Savage, the famous mental ex-
pert. who has forty years experience
in the treatment of the insane. He
had written to medical officers of
asylums asking whether insanity was
a justifiable ground for divorce, re-
ceiving eighty-two replies These
were: Yes. 81; no, 20; Indifferent. g
He himself thought that despite
the existence of very large num-

The New County Officers

Monday morning of this week there
were few changes made in the coun-
ty offides, the new men elected last
fall taking the places of the outgoing
officers, and some of the old bunch
succeeding themselves.
In the Office of recorder, w. I.
Moore gives way to u. G. Johnson,
who comes to his new duties we'll
equipped to handle them in a first
class manner and who will be glad to
see his friends at his office. James C..
Davis, the new circuit court clerk,
takes the place of Arthur Parrish. MIR.
Davis, or as he is better known to his
friends, Doc" is fully qusli6ed to
handle the Office in a frst-class man
ner. and any information you may wish
in regard to the doings of the court
will be cheerfully furnished. Prose-
cutting Attorney Wilson takes over the
Office vacated by D. F. McConkey.
Mr.. Wilson is an able lawyer, and will
make the evil doers in this section
walk very straight line if they keep
out of his hands. The newly elected
collector James Reeoe, will not take
possession of his Office until after the
first of March, when he will step in
well qualified to get after the tax
dodger and make him come through.
The county court, Duncan Campbell,
presiding judge; John R. Combs,
judge of eastern district, and William
A. Branson, judge of western district;
are all men of the highest integrity
and ability to handle the business af-
fairs of the county in the very best
possible manner. County Clerk James
B. Hicks and Probate Judge John L.
Morrow, succeed themselves, and
there is no question but what the two
Offices will be run in an up to date
businesslike manner. The out going
officers have all given faithful service
10 the county, and are all ready and
willing to get back in the private walks
Of life.

Cheap Power Was Discussed.

The project to build on the Whit.
river a 100000 electric power gen
Grating plant assumed definite shape
at the meeting of the Springfield club
committee with A. J. Zwart, who rep
resents capitalists who will promote
the venture.
During an hours session the com
mittee and Mr.. Zwart went into the
preliminary plans of circulating the Pc
titions that are to be presented to Con-
gress. Citizens of Springfield and the
surrounding country will be ssked to
sign these petitions. The meeting
was adjourned to meet again soon,
when the details can be worked out
At the beginning of each petition,
as formulated by the committee, will
be plain statement of the facts con-
cerning the proposed plant, and why
it would be of benefit to this section
of the state, located near here. Farm
ers and residents of the surrounding
small towns will be depended on large
ly to asst in getting the proposition
through congress.
Once through that Legislative body,
no time will be lost in building the
plant. Engineers have already pro-
nounced it practicable and profitable
proposition. The plant, when COM
pleted, will supply Greene county
farms with power as well as the city of
Springfield and surrounding towns.
The committee that DR.. Rienhoff
appointed to represent the Springfield
club is composed of Senator McDavid,
chairman; c. H, Cole and H. M.
Smith. When the petitions are pre-
pared for circulation the Springfield
club will not only give them its moral
support, but will also have charge of
pushing them.
To utilize navigable waterway for
the generation of power a corporation
must receive permit from congress.
The usual procedure in obtaining such
permit is to have sent congress large
petitions from the section of the coun-
try which is to be served by the cor
poration In this way the lawmakers
are to be assured that the property
owners really desire the corporation to
locate in their territory, and that the

New EngIand's SeIfishness.

Back east the newspapers are max
ing quite an ado about reciprocity with
Canada. They want the Canadians to
have a free entrance to our markets,
but it may be noted that they are most
ly interested in free farm products. In
Massachusetts, they are quite sure that
they want the products of the Canadian
farms to come in duty free, in order
that their food supplies may cost them
less. But if the food supplies are to
be made cheaper in that way, it means
that the farmers of the middle west will
have to sell their products for lower
prices. If the farmers have to sell
their products for less to accommodate
New England manufacturers. then the
farmers will want duty free manufac-
tured products from Europe. The
farmers of Iowa are not going to con-
cede free farm products without free
manufactured goods. If they want to
eat cheap foods in Massachusetts,, the
west wants cheap manufactured goods.
The fact that the politicians back there
call farm products raw products does
not make them an exception to the

Missouri Leads in Lead.

Warrington, January Under the
operation of the Payne tariff law the
imports of zinc ore into the United
States fell off more than 25 per cent in
1910, according to the Geological sur
Ivey.
The production of primary spelter
from domestic ore in 1910 is estimated
at 250,052 short tons, and from foreign
ore at 1871 tons. total of 267,423
worth, at the average price, $28, $751;
684, as compared with total of 255.-
100 tons in 1909, made up of 23O,225
tons of domestic origin and 25,535
tons of foreign origin.
The production of spelter from both
domestic and foreign ores, apportioned
according to the states in which the
ores were smelted, was approximately
as follows: Illinois, 1888 tons in
1910 and 67,653 in 1909; Kansas,
los, 5,66o tons in 1910, and 1913, ,2oo in
1909; Oklahoma, 34,762 tons in 1910
and 28,792 in 1909; all other states,
53,629 tons in 1910 and 56,O2o in
1909.
The total production of spelter is
equivalent to the output of 81, ZOO av-
erage retorts operating continuously
throughout the year, or about 70 per
cent of the maximum capacity of the
smelling plants in operation for some
part of 1910.
Missouri retained first place among
lead producing states in 1910. The
total production of refined lead, desil-
verized and soft, from domestic and
foreign ores in 1910 was approximately
4oe, ,682 short tons, worth, at the av-
erage New York price $41, ,332,O13,
as compared to production of 49,
112 in 1909 and 396,443 in 1908.
These figures do not include an esti-'
mated output of 13,o48 tons of anti
nonial lead, as against 1896 in 1909
md IS, ,629 in 1908.
The total production of lead of do
nestle origin was 377,076 tons as
compared with 345, ,255 in 1909, an
Increase of about 10 per cent.
Of the total production, desilverized
cad of domestic origin, exclusive of
lesilvered soft lead is estimated at
III, 166 tons as against 1914, 034 in
900, and desilverized lead of foreign
rigin comprized oO,506 tons, as COM
ared to 102,857 in 1909.
The production of soft lead from
Mississippi Valley ores is estimated at
61,910 tons as compared with 151,-
81 in 1909. This estimate indicates
1issouri retains first place among the
ead producing states.
The final figures for production of
oft lead in 1910 are likely to show an
1crease of few thousand tons over
ne estimate given above, because the
rgentiferous lead smelters and refiin4
ries undoubtedly treated more or less
oft lead ore from the Mississippi Val
~ which is not taken into account as
lch in their estimates for 1910.
