U. S STILL A PROTECTIVE TARIFF COUNTRY

In all the debatable states the story of
the Democratic victory is one of plural.
ities and not maiorities. There was never the
possibility of a third.term triumph, aud those
Republicans whose efforts at Chicago for the
nomination of 3 compromise candidate were
thwarted by Colonel Roosevelt may draw
what consolation they can from their vindica
ton.
Meanwhile, talking of disbandment or dis.
integration is more futile than dangerous. The
Republican party is more than an organization,
it is an organized principle. Is the fallacY of
free trade more vital and more enduring than
the doctrine of protection? That the free
trade fallacy can persist, the persistence of the
Democratic party, with no other stock in trade
than that one falsity, is evidence
The country, as the combined Taft and
Roosevelt vote will show, has not approved
free trade at this election. A protective tariff
is still supported by the majority of Americans,
who, with the menace of third term removed,
will again come together in protest of and
resistance to the destructive policy of the
Democratic party in fiscal administration So
long as a freetrade party lives protection
party cannot cease to be, even though it may
sometimes divide, in the face Of the enemy. on
false and extraneous issues.--St Louis Globe

dity of this most remarkable family. During
Revolutionary days, the first Martin Kalikak
(the name is fctitious) descended from long
line of good English ancestry, took advantage
of feebleminded girl. The result of their
indulgence was a feeble.minded son. This
son married a normal woman. They in turn
produced five feeble minded and two normal
children. Practically all of the descendants
of these detectives have been traced as we'll as
those of the two normals
From both normal and detective descend

i've stock. There were 4S0 in ALL OF these
thirty.six were legtmate, tbirty.three sexually
immoral, twenty.four confirmed alcoholics and
three epiepics. Eighty-two died in infancy,
three were criminal, eight kept houses of i'll
fame and 143 were distinctly feeble.minded.
Only forly-six were found who were apparent.
ly normal. The rest are unknown or doubtful
But the scion of the good family who started
this long line of delinquent and defective pro-
geny is also responsible for strain of an en-
tirely different character After the Revolu.
tiOnary war was over, he married Quaker
girl of good ancestay and settled down to live
respectable life after the traditions of his fore
fathers. From this legal union with nor
NAL woman there have been 49G descendants.
All of these except two have been of normal
mentality. The exceptions were cases of in.
sanity, presumably inherited through mar
riage with an outside strain in (which there
was a constitutional psychopathic tendency.
In all the 49G there isl not an instance of feeble
mndedness. The offspring descended from
this side of the house have universally occupied
positions in the upper walks of life. They
have never been criminals or ne'er-do wells
On the other hand, there has not been a single
instance of exceptional ability among the de-
scendants of the first Martin Kallikak and the
feeble.minded girl. Most of these descendants
have failed to rise above the dead level of
mediocrity; indeed, most of them have fallen
far below even this minimum standard. This
striking study in heredity is commented on at
length in recent lumber of The Journal of .
