 Quite the contrary. If the learned doctor will go to the trouble Of look ing a bit closer into the matter he will discover that, as matter of fact. there are few, if any, indications of race suicide in the families of Amer ican millionaires.
 The great t-great-grandchildren of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt number twenty i've and the Aston children Of the same generation fifty three. Tn the Morgan line there are two families of four children, in the Rockefeller line one of five.

 The Goulds might also be men tioned. They are pretty well repre- sented upon two continents in the third generation since their acquire. ment of wealth. Other examples might be cited.

WILSON SHOWS
 MAGNANIMous SPIRIT.

The fact that Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, candidate on the democratic presidential t,cket has shown such a magnanimous spirit toward Theodore Roosevelt, his rival for the presidency, has opened the eyes Of many former enemies of the so-called school teacher and the un- doubtedly victor in the election tO take place next November 5, and to- day. many many of those who have been inimical to Governor Wilson ate nov his best supporters. Governor Wilson positively refuses to continue in the campaign as q speaker for the great democratic party unless Colonel Roosevelt is able to get back into the harness before the national election
 Governor Wilson further reiterated his resolve last night when he made a talk in Pennsylvania and further, to show he is not seeking the office, but rather the office is seeking him, he said not one word against or even made mention of the progressive party.
 It can hardly be sad that other candidates for the presidential favor has even hinted at showing such con sideration when one of their most popular rivals has been laid low by the bullet of an assassin. Governor Wilson, first and only of all. declared as soon as he heard Colonel Roose welt had become The victim of a COW ardly assault that. he would not think of taking advantage of the weak con dition ef his rivsi and further would make no speeches after he goI through with Pennsylvania unless the colonel was able again to take the platform in behalf of the Progressive party.

KANSAS cITYs

If is now nearly year since Kan sas City grew alarmed at the steady increase of divorce in her courts, and was moved to seek 3 means of redue- ing the evil. The means adopted was the appointment of a proctor whose official duty it is to thoroughly in
 vestigate the facts and circumstances leading up to every suit for divorce, to earnestly endeavor to effect a re- conciliation between the partss, where reunion would, in his opinion, he advisable, and to act as the advisor and counselor of the presiding judge as to all matters affecting the rela tions of the parties and the troubles which have brought them into court. He took up this work on November l, 1910. At the end of the first year his report showed some improvement over previous conditions. But the re- port. now practically complete for the year between November 1, 1911. and November 1. 1912, is a remark. able manifestation of what intelligent and sustained effort can do in almost any line, says the Globe-Democrat.
 Divorce deerees this year have de- creased 50 per cent in Kansas City as com pared with last. The proctor, w. ". Wright, says: The divorce slump is partly due to a falling of in d. vorce requests in the boarding nouao part of the city. Discomfort and jeai. ousy. I have found, thrive better in flats, boarding houses and hotels than in any other places This has been i said so often as to have become a trglIsm. Since the Kansas City proc tor has now given it oficial contirma,

For School Supervision Union.

At meeting Thursday afternoon
of the school directors. trustees,
superintendents and principals of the
schools of the towns of Barton and
Glover at the school building in
Barton the matter of forming a
school supervision district was thor
ougbly discussed and it seemed to be
the sentiment of the meeting that
such union would be beneficial to
all concerned. meeting for final
decision and organization will be held
at the same place on Tuesday after
noon. April 2, at 80 o'clock. DIR. J.
A. Pearson of the Barton trustees
was elected chairman of the meeting
and John Bartlett of the Orleans
trustees was elected secretary. The
benefits to be derived from school
supervision union are many. and the
expense of the individual towns very
slight when it is considered that the
state pays back to the towns $1,000 of
the salary of the union superintendent
and half the amount paid over $1,000
but under $500.
