And yet we sometimes wonder that the children OF
the tenements become %weaklings and criminals!
If crIminallty is hereditary and the offspring ut
criminals are likely to become criminals, the GRIN.
inal population OF New Zealand and Australia should
be very large, for these countries were practically
colonized by dep0rted convicts. Is this true? On
the contrary, New Zealand and Australia have !:
splendid class of people. There is less crime than
in other countries and the laws of these common.
wealths are models of progressive legislation. II the
children of these convicts had grown up in the sluns
of London and Liverpool they would probably have
become criminals. In the new environment they be.
came lawabiding and industrious citizens.
Better the. conditions of living and you will better
the race of men. Jacob Riis, in his book on the
slums of New York, shows how Mulberry Bend was
changed from a place Of lawIessness and murder to a
law.abiding community by tearing down the foul tene-
ments and building model tenement houses. Yet
the same class of people lived there as before. The
changed environment made the difference. Heredity
is a fixed quantity, which no human power can
change, while environment can be modified. If we
desire TO decrease the number Of detectives, delin.
quents and dependents we must do away with the
conditions that produce physical and mental deteri.

THE MAINE

Considerable significance is attached to the result
of the election which was held N the Third district
in Maine on Monday of this week. There were two
significant features in this result, which are looked
upon with considerable interest. First it marked a
decided smash Of the progressive republican organiza.
ton, with the votes returning to the main body of the
party, and second, the democrats ability to hold their
prestige of last falls election. The republican can.
didate was elected, and this was made possible
through the fact that those who had forsaken their
party last fail had returned to the fold.
The Tribune publishes herewith several opinions,
taken from newspapers and newspaper reports, which
may be of interest to some readers.

HAS NORTH DAKOTA A WIZARD?

Has North Dakota a man who has succeeded IN
doing the hitherto impossible? Has she a wizard VINO
has been able to break the seal on the closed book
of mystery, delve into the un~fathomable depths o.
gravity and reveal her secret which prohibits pei.
petual motion.
From the standpoint Of a laypan in science 1t
looks like such a man has been found, though the
failure of scientists and mechanics in all centuries
past admonishes against the claim, yet the demon
s~tration Of a machine which actually propels itself
and has run for 40 days and nights, almost precludes
dispute.
The inventor of this machine, MI. J. ". Kennedy,
an humble machinist in the Northern Pacific shops
at Mandan, is the son of a Dakota born woman, and
says he is positive in his belief that he has solved
the problem, and he hopes that he may be able TO
bring honor not only to himself, but to the STATE
which is the birthplace of his mother.
Mr.. Kennedy is an expert %machinist, and can build
a locomotive from the ground up. He has studied
this problem all his life and points out the failure OF
the greatest inventors of the age. True, he is an
obscurity today, but his station is no more remote
than we're those of Fulton, Morse, Edison, Marconi or
eventually carved their names in the tablets Of fame
in the worlds history. ....... s-@s'
The Tribune publishes in this issue a cut of the
inventor, together with a mention of his work, waich
may prove interesting. The machine Is crude IN
construction, but probably no more so than the first
of any Of the great inventors-but it runs day and
night, and that is what makes it look good.
Possibly there may prove some hitch somewhere
somehow, but it looks at present like Mr.. Kennedy
has the real thing.

SOME DEMOCRATIC ANALYSES.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Representative Doremus OF
Michigan, chairman Of the democratic congressional
campaign committee, was an early White House caller
today and analysed the results of the Maine election
yesterday as a distinct democratic gain. Mr.. Dore'
mus pointed out that Pattangall, the democratic can
didate, polled approximately the same vote as ala
President Wilson in the same district last fall. IN
a district that has always been republican, he sa'o,
Having elected a democrat only once since the civil
war, the results show that the democrats more than
held their own. This is highly gratifying, especially
in an of.year election
Secretary Bryan attributed the result to the return
of a large number of progressives. to the republican
party. He issued this statement:
1.-The Maine election, while disappointing in the
failure to elect our democratic candidate, who is a
very able and progressive democrat. is not at all

COMMERCIAL CLUB SHOULD VOTE.

Referendum No. 4, on tho question of approval OIL
the standing committee on currency and banking OF
the Chamber Of Commerce of the United States upon
the Owen-Glass bill, has been received by Secretary
Young of the Commercial club, and is now ready for
the attention of the members
For the information of those who may not be
familiar with the workings of this institution, it may
be said that the proposition upon which the local
Commercial club was admitted 70 membership TO the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States is as
follows:
Seeing the necessity Of securing an unbiased and
representative opinion of the thinking men of the
United States, and being DESTROYS of having those
opinions distributed over the entire territory of the
United States, the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States, in no way connected with the govern.
ment, was organized and it's membership made up OF
the various commercial organizations of the entire
Union.
When a question of national import arises, the
president and congress are naturally anxious to have
an opinion from the representative men of the nation
on the subject, one which is uninfuenced in any re-
gard. The present organization is the only agent
through which such an expression could be secured.
In order to secure this expression of opinion from SO
large a field, a ballot setting forth the salient points
Of a proposition is submitted. together with the rec
concentrations of the committee on points which are
being discussedd. The members Of each commercial
club, or other organization members, are requested to
meet and cast their vote as a body on certain sections,
which are set forth in this ballot.
Now comes referendum No. 4, under date OF
August 26, a copy of which is in the hands of Secre-
tary Young of the Bismarck Commercial club, and It
is the opportunity, and really the duty of the members
of the organization to meet, discuss the subjects
therein and cast their ballots, which the secretary
must send to the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States at Washington, within As days from the date
Of the ballot. However, should at any time before
the expiration of As days, votes representing more
than twothirds of the voting strength OF the organiza-
tionmembership be registe:ed in favor or against the
proposition, it shall be recorded land the board OF
directors shall make effective the action taken.
Hence, if the local club wishes to be represented in
this vote on the currency bill and lend dts strength
for or against it, it is quite necessary that it get
busy, hold a meeting, discuss the questions set forth
and forward the ballot at the earliest possible date.
The president and congress are anxiously awaiting
an expression from the country on this subject, as
it will be a tremendous factor in determining many
points. Bismarck should take an interest and be
represented among the ballots cast.

.EUGENICS

%Iugenics is a subject that is causing a great deal
Of discussion. Women's clubs have. taken up the
y study OF it and ministers discourse learnedly to their
congregations about it. Laws have been passed to
prevent the intermarriage of defective and diseased
persons. The most notable is the marriage law enact
ed by our legislature last winter. This law is be-
lieved to- 9beAa good one. There is no question but
thatSthe intermarriage Of e%pileptics, sinbeciles, insane
and the. ,yenereally diseased Should be prohibited,
because the result of such unions IS nearly always a
defective p~osterity. But we should be very careful
and not hastily enact laws that vitality affect the
happiness and lives Of people.
In all the articles and works published on
the subject of eugenics there is q tendency to exag-
gerate the influence of h%eredity. That heredity is
more important in determining the life of the average
person than environment we are by no means con-
WINGED. Child labor, sweatshops, poor housing, insult
fcient nourishment and lack of education and proper
training are the principal causes of crime, intemper-
.ance, disease and misery. They are the factors that
cause the physical deterioration that makes men and
women unfit for parentage.
In Manchester, England, one of the great Industrial
centers, when volunteers were called to 80 to Souta
Africa to fight the Beers, out Of II 900 applicants only
1000 were physically fit to enter the army, and the
requirements were low Such showing raised a storm
in parliament where it was admitted that Great
Britain's military and industrial future were seriously
threatened by the deterioration OF its men. The
result was an investigation by a royal commission,
which reported that, next to improper food, the prin-
cipal. cause of deterioration was the crowding of the
population in unsanitary houses. In Glasgow, Scot
land, tie school board made a study of housing in
1866 and found that children who lived in one and
tworoom houses weighed less and were smaller than
children who came from homes Of three rooms or
more. Similar investigations in Germany showed the
same result. and in the city Of New York, Mr.. Roun-
tree found the same condition. insufficient nourish.
ment undoubtedly partly accounted for the difference.
II has been estimated that in the city Of Chicago,
5000 children go hungry to school every morning; In

Or. .BEEpE's DRAMA.

Among the mentions of this new
drama in periodicals. is a two-column
review by Mabel S. Merrill in the
Lewiston Daily Sun (Maine). Fol-
lowing is a synopsis Of this review:
"The drama Is well constructed,
and it is a true literary p%ortraiture."
"The poetry of the work lies in the
time, the environments and, above
all, in the people who are shown to
us as human beings" 1T glinmers
with new light and resounds with a
music which our ear have been too
dull to hear" "Longfellow gives us
forgotten legends, DR.. Beede gives US

believing" The Smithsonian lnsti-
tute believes that the only full-blood
Indians in the world are the western
Indians" Chose on the Standing
Rock reservation.) THE subject OF
this drama is one Of great interest.
Humor relieves the tragedy at the
right moment" "Fool-Mink, the In
dian humorist, recalls the legend OF
Undine, only in that legend the ideal
is represented as a woman" 1T is
the old conflict between the ideal and
the real. A fairy may not marry q
mortal unless he wishes to be un'
done, and a man may not drag his
highest ideal out into the light OF day
unless he wishes to see it DESTROYED,
"The character under the name OF
Fool.Mink is used effectively through
out the play as q foil against the more
serious figures" 'The time of the

Dayton, Ohio, has followed the example set by the
progressive cities of the country, and adopted a de-
cidedly new type Of municipal government. The char
ter provides for a short, non.partisan ballot, a city
manager, and a legislative commission. This bold
empiricism is said to have given the city the most
advanced charter ever adopted in this country. The
position of city manager places in the hands of one
man responsibility for the selection of the various
subordinate officers. This means a great deal, for the
people have grown tired Of the old methods, and OF
the old political gang, and are endeavoring to get
away from both. l

REuN,r,hG THE REPUBLICANS.

Minneapolis Journal: The significance of the spe.
cial election in the Third Maine district yesterday is
not so much that the democrat was defeated and a
republican elected as that the progressive republicans
went back to their old allegiance. Colonel Roosevelt
received $4,000 votes in the district last fall. HIS
party's candidate for congress now receives less than
half that. But, while the progressive vote was snow
ing a falling off of so per cent from Roosevelts, the
republican candidate for congress was gaining 100
per cent on the Taft vote.
The democrats might have won by a more even
division of the republican vote, but it didn't DIVIDE
Just right for them this time as 1t did in SO many
states last fall. The inference to be drawn from this
election is that when the republicans come together

Washington, Sept. 1O-There is q tendency in
this city not to interpret yesterdays congressional
election in Maine as a slap at the Wilson admins
tration. The democratic candidate polled practically
the vote polled by President Wilson. The republican
candidate was elected because of the coming back
to that party thousands of progressives. Nobody
had counted on tls. Republican leaders in both
houses of congress are jubilant over the result, which,
they say, is q prophecy of party union next year.

G. o. p. COMES BACK IN MAINE.

Augusta, Me-, Sept. 9.-Politicians of Maine and
tho entire country today attempted to measure the
national significance of the special election in the
Third Maine district, where John A Peters, republican
speaker of the house of representatives, was elected
to congress to succeed the late Forest Goodwin.
Wilson's plurality over Roosevelt in the Third dis
trict last November was 1,456, and the republicans
were more than 1000 votes behind. Returns today
from yesterdays election show heavier voting, a dem
ocratic loss of $50, a republican gain Of nearly 500,
and a loss by the progressives almost equal to the
republican gain. . " a@'''c
The Third district, which has been in the repub-
lican column for rs years previous to the recent pollt-
ical upheavals, today settled back into line with a
plurality of 553. "

back contend that the election is a mark Of disap.

recession in vote from the heavy democratic landsllde
