That a diswlute parent may
a chain of criminal-
ity and immorality l» demon-
strated by the story of th« fa-
mous Jukes family In New York
utate. /, . . .
In 1720 the Juke* family con-
sisted of a lazy, irresponsible
fisherman and five daughter*.
In five fenerations the known
descendant* numbered about
1200 persons, of whom 310 were
professional paupers, living in
almshouses; 440 were physically
wrecked by their own wicked-
ness; more than one-half of the
women were immoral; 130 were
convicted criminals; 60 were
habitual thieves; seven were
murderers, and 800 died in in-
fancy,
Not one of them had even a
common school education. Only
20 of them learned a trade, an<
10 of them learned it in the
state prison.
This family has cost the state
of New York over $1,000,000
and the cost is still going on.
At about the time that Jukes,
the fisherman, died, Jonathan
Edwards—the New England
preacher and reformer—left a
large family. In 1900 as many
as 1894 of his descendants were
identified. Of these IK were
college presidents; three were
United States senators; (15 were
college professors; 30 were
judges; 100 were lawyers—
many of them distinguished; 60
were physicians; 75 were of.

were clergymen, missionaries, mi Hwn to t"' P«Mib!e?~-thc

and writers; 295 were college
graduates; K0 held public offlc-

One was a vice president of the ,lnys whm s,nmP tuxos 11,1,1
the United States; several were u,a Uxm were wve Hnts w'ith
governors of States, members of 1 ,u ^'8
Congress, mayors of cities, min- nian
isters to foreign courts.
Fifteen railroads, many
tanks, insurance companies and
large industrial enterprises have
been indebted to their manage-
ment. Almost every depart*
ment of social progress and of
public welfare have felt the im-
pulse of this healthy and long-
lived family.
as a matter of course. Air-
all but tie knots in them-
in the air, and on the
morrow the people are placidly
looking for new sensations.
News that wireless telegraphy
has been perfected between an
aviator high in the clouds and
an instrument on the grounds is
eclipsed in a few days by the
account of a speech delivered In

of feet below. And the matter
Is not even worth a multi-col-
umn headline in the more con-
servative papers.
The arrival of the dirigible
R-34 the other day created no
particular stir. The trans-At-
lantic flight of the American na-
val plane was the occasion of a
little flurry of printer's ink, as
was Hawker's daring hop, but
In the case of each the interest
was almost as much in the con-
fidence of the wives left behind
by the aviators, as it was in the
fact that we are entering upon
the era of the real mastery of
the nir as the means of travel
and communication.
What does it all add up to?
What does It proflt us?

THE WOMAN ON THE TOLE-
DO CENSORSHIP HOARD.
The Toledo buartl of censors
refused to pass the film of the
Willard-Dempsey rt^ht. In a
recent newspaper dispatch Hil-
ly Roche, the noted referee is
reporteti as saying "There's a
woman on the censorship board
out in Toledo who is holding up
the pictures". He »ays this in
connection with the statement
that this action is preventing
the American soldiers in Europe
and France from seeing the pic-
tures, thus in a way appealing
for the release of the picture on
tJie score of sympathy for the
soldiers and placing the blame
for this deprivation (?) upon
the woman censor.
Well, it s a matter of conirrafc-
ulatiou that Toledo has n wo-
man censor with enough of de-
termination about her to say
"no". Instead of blaming her,
she should be praised. Por she
is standing for the best inter
<*ts of public. Such pictures
aa this one of the Willard-
Dempaey fight are not for the
beat interests of the public weal.
The bout itself was a thor-
ough disappointment to those
who attended it, and the detailed
reporta of it indicate thst the

TRAINING FOR THE FOR-
EIGN TRADE,
In the field of commerce
America has Iteen at considera-
ble disadvantage in very many
instances because American
trade representatives and Amer-
ican Industries did not sufficient
ly endeavor to meet the wishes
and peculiarities of the territory
they were endeavoring to sell
to. Hut we are Hotting away
from our old ideas and are mak-
ing efforts to redeem ourselves
in this respect. We have now
under civil service rules men
sent into our various foreign
fields to gather information
about these fields, trade com-
missioners they are called. They
gather valuable information as
to the needs, desires, |teculiari-
ties of the trade territories to
which they are assigned and
•ntbody it in reports that th*
home commercial and industrial
interests can make use of, Thus
we will l>e enabled better to
compete with other countries
for this foreign trade. Here is
a field tor ambitious young men
—also for our schools. In our
State more attention should be
paid to the study of Spanish
the language of the nations
nearest to us.
