Constant Change Goes On, But AYneri.
can Race Is Not Threatened
With Extinction.

An effective argument against the
theory advanced once in while that
Americans are becoming degenerate
and are bound to die out, complaint
also made by the English concerning.
themselves, is advanced by Lieut.. Col.
Charles e. Woodruff, Medical corps. u.
S. army, who is now stationed in the
Philippines.
There is no ground for such absurd
pessimism," says Woodruff. though
as a matter of fact there is plenty
of evidence that certain types in each
nation British and Americana do have
a higher death rate than others and
that there is a constant slow change
in the general average. Both civiliza-
tons have been built up by immi-
grants and it Is law of nature that
change Of racial residence is always
followed by extinction or alteration of
type through the survival of the fittest
for the new environment.
Moreover, there has been 9 con-
slant immigration into the British is
lands from the beginning of things hui
man, and the influx of new blood has
always kept civilization humming,
even if each invasion in olden times
did destroy part of what it found.
The same phenomenon is being re-
peated in America with the sole diff
ference that the invaders, except in
Mexico and Peru, have not destroyed,
but are constantly building up. The
process of decay Of certain types is
also quicker in America and the new
blood comes into prominence sooner
than in England.
VERY few of the descendants Of the
signers of our Declaration of indie
pendence are in public life and most
of them are nonentities, while immi-
grants and sons of immigrants are in
the seats of the mighty. The descend
ants Of the signers of Magma Charta
controlled England for many centuries,
though none of that stock is in evil
dence now, while the present control
ling elements date back some cen
turtles and very few are recent arrivals
from the continent.
1T Is high time that we find out who
are the f1ttest in each part of America.
Every bit of evidence is of some value
and that is the reason why the ire
mendous victories of the American
Olympic athletes have such scientific
AMI popular interest"

SWEET MUSIC TO HIS EARS
Orators Revenge on Trousers That
Had Proved Treacherous at
Most important Time.

Uncle Hank" Barnhart, who rep
resents part of the state of Indiana in
the lower house, shook the camphor
out of his dress suit one evening in
preparation for public address he
was booked for and discovered that
his figure had grown too prosperous
for the open-faced garb that had once
been ample and comfortable. 1t was
then too late to get another outfit, and
Barnhart thought that by breathing
only in the upper parts Of his lungs
he might avoid catastrophe.
About five minutes before he was
going on the stage where the speak
ing was to take place, Barnhart heard,
felt and otherwise became conscious
of that lugubrious ripping action of
trousers that one has outgrown. 1t
was an exciting moment. There was
no Retail Dress Suit agency in town,
and no time to send out hurry call
ito such plant If there had been. The
best that Barnhart could do was to get
a man to pin the hiatus together, and
then murmur prayer that no cata-
clysm should occur.
BY standing sway-backed, Uncle
Hank got through his part of the ex-
ercises without mishap His perspira-
tory glands were oyertaxed, so great
was his apprehension, but the pins did
their work well, and when he retreat
ed he did so in good order.
Then what do you suppose Barnhart
did? He retired to a secluded corner
back of the stage, raised himself to
his full height and then bent over and
tried to touch his fingers to the floor
without bending his knees. Again he
heard a large assure making it's way
up and down the seams in those COM
modious trousers.
"Trip, goldarn you," said Barnhart,
"and see If | care!"
"Ah, but twas music" says Barn.
hart, telling about it, ito hear that
low, ripping sound, knowing full well
that there was no one around to see."

First Wireless Apparatus,

AS wireless telegraphy grips the
imagination of men more and more by
its ever growing wonders, SO does the
marvel increase that it's inventor de-
veloped and achieved his epoch max
ing idea when he was in age but a
schoolboy, expected to do no more
than study his lessons and enjoy him.
self. Guglielmo Marconi studied at
the universities of Bologna and Padua,
and when only fifteen years old, on
his fathers estate near Bologna, Italy,
plunged enthusiastically into the
dreamland of electricity. In the course
of the next few years he headed
straight for one Of its great mysteries,
the so-called Hertzian waves, or elec-
trical impulses which could travel
through air without the use of wire.
In 1895 when he was only twenty
years old, his advanced knowledge on
this obscure subject inspired him with
the theory that these waves could be
sent out and received at will, and in
that year he had constructed the first
wireless apparatus, whose efficiency
astonished even his enthusiasm. 2.

Puritan Verse,

Among the offenses of the Puritans,
for the most part left behind them
when they came to this country, was
that of turning bits of the Bible and
parts of the New Testament into Eng
lish verse. They were much given to
the printing of objurgatory and de-
famatory pamphlets, for which from
time to time a scribbling offender
would not find repose at mine inn"
but in the stocks to the amusement
of all the idlers of the town.
It was soon after the Reformation
that this spirit of versifying the
Psalms and other parts of Scripture
began, and most of the collections
published with quaint titles are now
worth several times their weight in
gold to gatherers of curios. Allitera-
tons artful aid was much in evidence
in such titles as Seven Sobs of a
Sorrowful Soul for Sin," which COM
prised the seven penitential Psalms
in meter and a Handful of Honey
suckles," in which were collated vari-
Gus blessings out of the book of Deu-
teronomy. William Hunnis, chapel
master to Queen Elizabeth, turned the
entire book Of Genesis into rhyme I'M
der the title of "a HiVeful of Honey
and Christopher Tye, contemporary
Of Hunnis, rendered the Acts of the
Apostles in English verse. But these
were before the Puritans, the chief
offenders, especially in pamphlets, had
arrived.

Judge Withrow Is a native Of Iowa,
His career as a practicing lawyer
was successful, continuing until his
appointment to the district bench by
Governor Drake in 1896. OF his long
service as Judge Of the district court,
where for four terms he was elected
without opposition, and Of the appre.
citation in which he was and is held
by the people whom he served, the
Burlington Hawkeye says:

III the voters throughout the state
knew Judge Withrow as well as HIS
district constituents have known him
for many years, they would make his
election as unanimous as was done
in this judicial district for four snces-

no opposition. That Is q record Of

Judge Silas NJ. Weave who is 9
candidate for reelection to the SUI
preme bench Of the state, is a native
OF Chautauqua county, New York
While still boy he left the hons
farm and started out for himself and
after a period in school read Law.
Having been admitted to the bar, he
came at once to Iowa, where be has
ever since resided. Except for a brief
experience in newspaper work he has
at all times given his undivided at.
tention to the law In 1883 and again
in 1885 he was elected to the legis.
lature and had a leading part in all
the important work coming before
that body. In 1886. he was elected to
the district bench OF the Eleventh ju-
dicial district and reelected without
substantial opposition in 1890, 1894
and 1895, resigning in 1902. to take
a place on the supreme bench, to
which he had been chosen. In that
position his work has come under the
scrutiny Of lawyers and all others Of
our people who take an interest in
the judiciary OF the state, and the
best test of the service he has rend-
cred is found in the practical unanim.
ity with which the bar is united in
his support. In no other public sta.

ness so important as in our courts Of
last resort and that such appears to
be the sentiment Of the people is In
dicated by the vote cast at the June
primary. The Office has been made
by law what it ought to be in fact

Weaver nor his friends are asking hi
retention on any other basis. g..
His wide experience, ripe learning
and keen sense of justice peculiarly
qualify him for his work as judge OF
the supreme court. The state could
ill.afford to lose the benefit Of his
services on the bench.
