The state conventions of the political parties having been held, the political affairs are rather quiet. The active campaign will begin in September.

The Republican party has never wavered in its support of a protective tariff, and it is still firm in the faith that the best method of raising revenues and protecting American labor and American producers is by a tariff according to Republican ideas. This faith is not based on mere theories but upon actual experience for many years of prosperity.

FROST WINS OUT

If the trustee abuses his discretion or improperly refuses to perform the duties required of him, the remedy is by appeal to the higher school authorities and not by writ of mandate."

4 One Family's Crime Legacy. James Plew, hanged in Connecticut for the murder of Wm. Wakefield, whose widow has just escaped the death penalty for complicity in the crime, was a member of the notorious "Jukes" family, immortalized forty years ago by Dugdale in his study of the descendants of Ada Juke.

Sir Francis Galton propounded theory of eugenics. Dugdale furnished much of the evidence on .which the science rests. Out of an estimated total of six generations of 1,200 descendants of "the mother of criminals" he was able to trace 700. Among these nearly every form of disease—mental, moral, social, physical—flourished. Over 300 were professional paupers, spending an aggregate of 2,300 years in alms-houses. Sixty were habitual thieves, in and out of jail a greater part of their lives. Among the females of the fourth generation 27 out of 39, or 70 per cent, were professional harlots. Seven of the family were murderers. Among the remainder we find insanity, idiocy, epilepsy, blindness, deaf mutes and deformaties galore. Of the infants who died no adequate record was obtainable.

The cost to the community of this breed has been incalculable. The mere maintenance of the pauper and criminal members in public institutions was estimated forty years ago at over $1,000,000. The direct cost can not be reckoned. The taint is still abroad. The Wakefield crime was due to the fatal heritage But for Plew the murder would not have occurred. And whether or not Mrs. Wakefield pays the death penalty, the stigma will have its indirect effect on her two innocent children.—Boston Herald.

.School Trustee Can Use Best Judgment. in Re-establishing School Remedy Note by Mandate.

The Supreme Court has handed down a decision in the case of the State ex rel Reeves vs. Abram W. Frost, trustee, against, whom mandate proceedings were brought to compel him to re-establish an abandoned school. The decision in the local court for the plaintiff was reversed. The Supreme Court notes accompanying the decision are as follows: (1) Action of mandate by appellee to compel appellant to re-es-tablish a district school discontinued since 1909. where the patrons had petitioned the trustee to re-es-tablish the school and he had refused. Held ihat the question of re-eslablishmeni of a school discontinued since passage of the law of 1909 (Acts 1909, Page 73, Burns 4914, Sec. Gi22 is one for the sound discretion of the trustee, and on its abuse a subject for appeal to the proper school aulhorilies and not a subject for mandate. (2) "To permit. the reopening of schools which had been "heretofore abandoned' .that is, prior to Feb. 27, 1909, the amended act provided the remedy "by petition which is now relied on by appellee. It is clear this pro--vision has reference only to such schools as were closed prior to the passage of the act of 1909, and that schools closed subsequent to that time are to be re-established in the discretion of the township trustce.
