The new RATES
Saving o. Several Cents Wni be Made
In Fares From keokuk to I'LL

Ruling.
THoRNE GETS CREDIT
industriaI Association ofneiaIs Say
1 That Had It Not Been for Him,
st. Louis Would Only
Have Adjustment.

A saving OF ten cents In railroad
fares from Keokuk to Illinois points
will be made under the decision of the
interstate commerce commission in
the St. Louis and Keokuk case which
{ becomes effective at once according
TO the decision. The fare from Keo-
kuk to Carthage at the present time
IS ffty-five cents. The new fare will
he forty-nine cents. This IS figured OF
the basis Of two cents per mile. which
is the Illinois rate plus bridge tolls.
Other Illinois point rates from Keo
kuk are similarly reduced under this
decision. The Keokuk Merchants as
ISOLATION which has charge Of the fare
refund will revise their refundins
slips now to meet this new rate.
Officials OF the Keokuk Industrial
association are giving Clifford Thorne,
state railroad commissioner, all credit
for the victory. '.Had it not been for
sThorne's entry into the case the St
Louis would not have have been given
a lower rate" one of the officials said
today. I'VE asked Thorne to go into
the case for US. The st. Louis people
were after an adjustment solely. They
did not expect to have the rate reduc-
ed for them. but rather raised for
the Illinois points to meet discrtminar
tions they charged were existing.
when We decided to intervene We
took Thorne into the case. and it was
due entirely to his efforts that St
Louis won the victory that she did,
ana that the rates were reduced, rath-
er than an adjustment being made in
the other direction as the St Louis
league. and the railroads were expect
ing to happen"

could divide the various traits that
the people have, placing all of those
above this dividing line that are of
service to society, and all below this
dividing line that are feeble-minded
paupers, criminals and the insane
weak apd sick, and trying by some
means to prevent them from per-
petuating their posterity upon the
human race. Such people should not
be allowed to marry, and especially
people with certain diseases, such as
Huntington's chorea. This Is dis
ease that developes about middle life
and the children of every man who .
has this disease will contract it on
or about middle life.
Marriage is being prohibited in
some cases with a great benefit to
the human race. Take, for instance,
the fact that the Cretons of Switzer-
people, are now being segregated
They have institutions there for the
men and the women, and they take
good care that they do not marry or
mate; taking care of them as long
as they live and as a result of this
segregation for about twenty years,
the Cretons are dying out. There
are not now nearly so many of them
among the general population as
there used to be
1T is now known that unconsci-
ously an educational influence on
love and marriage has been operat-
ing for centuries. The feeble, insane
and criminal have at all times been
socially handicapped, and have al
ways been the first to be eliminated
in marriage selection.
Summing up, there are two main
lines upon which eugenic improve
ment of the human race may be at
tanned: First, education of the peo-
pie upon the inheritability of traits:
and second, more stringent and en-
forced laws for the segregation of
detectives so that they cannot min
gle their family traits with those
upon sound lines"

that the domestic science class has

building some distance from the

degree In bad weather. He spoke on
behalf OF new building which
would incorporate both domestic sci
ence for the girls and manual
training department for the boys.
such as are now adopted in the more
modern of the schools elsewhere in

some time to a discussion of the
dance problem and condemned late
hour dancing as being very Injurious
to the school work, as well as to
physical strength.
