Senator Nixon.s Ceneros,ty,

w. A. Shepard, secretary for Repre-
sentative Baker Of California tells the
following bit of romance connected
with the life of the late United States
Senator George s. Nixon:

in Placer county. Call" said Mr.. Shep-
ard, twelve miles from my home in

went TO work for the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. and becoming a
telegraph operator was finally trans

and now for the second chapter in
Nixon's life. One day a young, pale
looking man came into the bank and
wanted TO borrow $50 on a diamond
ring. The cashier hesitated, when
President Nixon stepped forward and
advanced the loan from his personal
account. The borrower, whose name
was George Wingaeld, paid the loan in
the course of q week, and after that
he made frequent borrows from My

chance for Col. Roosevelt to win dele
gates from his home state 10 the sup
port of his nomination at Chicago.
Mr.. OHearn from this home of
Chairman William Barnes, and he is
confident that the New York loader
will hold the entire delegation in line
for President Taft. He said:
col. Roosevelt will not get many
delegates from New York. Barnes is
against him., and will be against him
throughout the convention, and it is
a safe bet that the colonel will not be
able to induce much of a break from

Mr. O'Hearn also declared that the
democrats are q united party in his

eliminated. He could not say where
the delegation to Baltimore would be
found when q vote is taken. but init

A QUESTION OF ETGENICs.

Two pet theories. one of long stand
ing and the other Of more popular
vogue. were tapped rather heavily on
The head by David Starr Jordan re-
Gently in an address at San Francisco.
One theory that he assailed vas that
cousins should not marry. On this
point he said;
There is no sense in the theory
that cousins should lot marry unless
they are defective In some way. and
then they should not marry whether
they are cousins OF not"
The other theory that DR.. Jordan
attacked was the popular argument
that the state should, by a process of
selection. develop a race of super
men . Various public speakers have
been advocating this theory with
considerable fervor They have ar
yued hat there liz more reason for
careful supervision of the marriage
Of men and women than there IS for
the scientific breeding Of pigs, COWS,
and horses.
AS Dr.. Jordan points out however,
the difference between animals and
humans is that in the case OF the lat
ter love and initiative are necessary
to the proper development Of the
race. State selection. he thinks, elm
mates love and initiative. and per-
lection must be sought by forbiddine

physically imperfect.
Were the marriage OF cousins en-.
couraged. however. in accordance
with the theory If DR.. Jordan, the
race would very soon degenerate. It
IS the great influx of new blood that
has made a sturdy race of Americans,
1ntermarriage among cousins in GER
tain European nations has undoubt-
ed!y had a baneful effect upon the
royal families.
Many of the states in this coun,ry
absolutely forbid the marriage OF first
cousins. While this may be carrying
the case too far. and may work in
justice in certain instances, certainly
the parents of children should dis
discourage marriage with cousins.
What the nation needs is new blood.
and that is what the family needs.

Blanche Bates.


There have been few actresses in
the annals of dramatic history who
have attained pronounced success in
pathetic, romantic and tragic roles,
and then Immediately reversed their
histrionic field of endeavor and
achieved triumph as a coincidence:
yet Blanche Bates has done this, and
proved by her splendid performance
of "Roxana" in "Nobody's Widow" by
Avery Hopwood, that enottonalism did
not warp her risible p~ropensities or
blunt her mirth-producing proclivi-
ties.
The delicious!y absurd and child
Ike things that supposedly sta!d and
sane people do when they are verging
on the sea OF Eatr!mony or have Just

prompted the construction OF this de-
