There is a line fence between CanaGa
and the United States, but after more
than a century of the friendliest relations
it is rather silly to insist that it be OF
barbed wire. w. A. Winter OF the
federal governments advisory COM
mittee on international parcel posts
points out that Canada has parcel post
relations with every country in the
world except the United States, its one
next door neighbor. He urges parcel
post alliance. and says that when Cana
dams do their part the United States
will be ready.
1t is obviously sensible and mutually
advantageous to live on good terms with
ones neighbor that no argument neeo
be made for increasing friendliness ana
cooperation with Canada. With one
race, one language, one task in still
new world. the international border
should make less and less difference.
Canada can learn to smile at the bark
ing of little dogs? like Champ Clark,
who talk about annexation. Canada
is husky enough not to be annexed
without its own wish. Bidding your
neighbor Good morning instead OF
building spite fence does not mean
that you are planning to steal his auto'
mobile,

Income and Wealth.
From the New York Times

From the New Ork Times.
The story of the $4,000 or $4,000 war
made millionaires, which furnished am
munition to radical propagandists, was
absurd enough at the time it gained cur
rency. In the first place, it was based
on arbitrary capitalization of certain IN
comes, and moreover, 1t took no con-
sideration Of the ract that man whose
income this year is $4,000 might have
made $45, coo last year. In that case &C
cording to this very often inaccurate
capitalization, he was worth ssoe,eVo
year ago; but because his income IN
creased 5000 in single year-an in
crease largely wiped out by the taA-he
was called war millionaire.
Officials Of the treasury depart
ment now admit that it is Of
ten incorrect to call man who
has an income of $4,000 a year q
millionaire. 1fe u,uy oe making huge
profits on business representing smai
capital. On the other hand, the treasury
department quite accurately points ou'
that many men whose capital totals VI
O0o, 900 or more have It invested very
largely in tax-free securities bearing
low rate Of interest. Yet the balance
ts probably the other way: that Is. there
are fewer actual m1Ilionaires than In
come millionaires.
This suspicion is strengthened by the
statement that two men In the United
States admit incomes "in excess OF g..
eoo,Seo." That is a loose term. and th<
two incomes may be widely apart. Il
viii generally be supposed that one O
these men Is John D. Rockefeller l

Other IS Henry Ford. What the relative
size Of their incomes may be nobod!

ment, but It is q pretty safe guess tina
Mr.. Ford gets good deal larger per

Alexander Graham Ben holds that in.

Alexander Graham Bell holds that ins
heritance Is ., large factor in longevity.
In other words, man lives to reach
very old age, largely because he belongs
to aslong lived stock.
There are other factors contributing
to longevity, but none Is so important
as the stock. Alexander Graham Bells
opinion is based upon q study OF the
Hyde family, SO called. EARLY in the
18th century the founders Of this family
settled in New England town. The :
investigation covered 8,7N descendants
born between that time and 1895.
DR.. Bell thinks this family fair IL
lustration Of New England stock during
the 18th, 18TH, and part Of the 18th
century, rather than q study Of the Hyde
stock, since the Hyde blood was in the
minority after the second generation.
The children OF the original Hyde were
half Hyde, but, on the other hand, those
OF the seventh generation were only
one-sixty-fourth Hyde blood.
DR.. Bells conclusion Is a tendency to
longevity as an Unbeatable character.
What really Is inherited probably is
tough, why constitution that enables the
fortunate posscssor to survive the null
titudinous ills that flesh is heir to and
live on to the extreme limit Of human
life. This definition cannot be objected
to If the definition Of "multitudinous
ills is made broad enough.
He adds this disease resistant quality
is inherited by the offspring and
through the superior fecundity OF the
long lived it is distributed very generally
throughout the population. He found
natural tendency OF the race to improve
in vigor and vitality through the sue
ceeding generations There are some
who hold that we do not see as many old
men and women as there were IN the
old times.
Bells studies Indicate that the race
is getting moro vigorous and longer
lived
One of the discoveries Of his study is
that the long lived individuals beget
more children than do the shorter nveu.
Some other conclusions arc:
The average age at death of the Hydes
in the 18th and 18th centuries was 34.6
years; 35.2 per Cent. Of them died before
reaching 20 years Of age and 70 per cent.
lived to be 80 years and over. When
neither parent lived to be 50, So per cent
of the offspring lived to be 80 and over
When only one parent lived to be 50, 9.s
per cent. of the offspring lived beyond
that age.
Where both parents passed 80, 20.6 per
cent. of tho children passed 1t. Where
the father but not the mother lived be-
yond 80, 11.3 per cent. of the children
surpassed it. If the mother passed 30,
but the father did not, the percentage
were IL.
II the father was over so at death
aud the mother under go, the average
age of the children at death was 42.3.
Where the durations of life OF the par
ents were reversed the average age at
death of the children was 1853. In other
words, the father was more important
than the mother IN transmitting longev-
ity. The longest lived parents had the
longest lived children, and the shortest
lived parents the shortest lived children.

Marked Improvement In Transportation

A marked improvement IN tranSpor-
tation conditions during the past few
weeks is noted by the Railway Age, OF
August 49, in an editorial analyzing re-
ports received by the commission on
car service regarding freight movement
and car performance during July. These
indicate that the railroads, with the
cooperative assistance of the Interstate
Commerce commission and OF many of
the shippers, have not only overcome to
a large extent the effects of the switch
mems strike which began in April. but
that they have now turned the corner
and are showing commendable inn
provement The accu1nu'ations OF cars
at terminals in excess OF current move
ment had been reduced by July 80 to
s0.5n, or less than the total inherited
from the railroad administration, as
compared with 900 after two weeks
of strikes in April; the car shortage is
being reduced and the volume Of freight
handled, while still below that OF the
war year 1918, is showing steady gains
over 1919 and in July was greater than
In June.

AS Others See Us.

From the Dearborn Independent.
We Judge Mexico largely by what APP
pears in the press about the actions OF
individual Mexicans. They in turn
judge US by the same means.
Suppose Mexicans were to read under
f1aring headlines in their newspapers
that two Mexican workmen in north
srn Industrial city Eere robbed On the
streets ( hol: AMMAN. E, - ss. :saasN and
upon making complaint and identifying
the officer, were thrown into 3ak and
kept there until the efforts of the legal
force of their employer succeeded IN
gaining their liberty-what would Mexl-
cans think of it? Would they be JUST
fed in saying that law and order hao
gone to wreck in the United States, and
that the rights of Mexicans were peins
trampled under foot?
That incident actually occurred in an
American city. Two Mexicans going
home with their pay in their pockets
were robbed by a patrolman. One OF
them had enough presence OF mind TO
observe and remember the officers
badge number. They reported at the
nearest police station, the officer was
sent for and confessed. Then the Mexi-
cans were thrown into jail with common
criminals, locked in cells, and held I'M
der bonds of 81, 900 in two sureties, as
material Witnesses 1t was with diff
Guilty that their release was obtained.
Naturally, they are wondering what
kind of a country it is where such things
can occur.
There is no evidence that the incident
was teiegraphed to Mexico or that the
Mexican press has made any Stir about
it. There is no evidence that the Next
can government knows about it or,
knowing. would make representations to
the government of the United States.
But anyone can guess what would have
been done had such an experience be-
fallen two citizens of the United States
in Vera Cruz or Mexico City.
