Each of the warring nations Is explaining
that It has ample resources to keep oa playing
the war game for several years. If not Indefin
itely. If that ts the rase, the sooner they start
negotiating the peace treaty the better.
Future of Manufacturing-.
Not all of American energy is now being de
voted to the manufacture of war materials, al
though for the present that department of in
dustrial activity Bems to overshadow the more
Important and beneficial undertakings that are
going forward. All lines of Industry are renew
ing life, and many that had languished because
of foreign competition are coming to the front
This Is especially true of chemicals, dyes and
some other articles, for the supply of which
America had come to depend on Germany. The
advance In these lines will be more rapid when
a very Important factor has been decided.
American makers are asking that they be given
some assurance that their investments in. new
plants will not be Jeopardized by foreign actlvl-
ties when the war Is over. A Michigan chemical
compady reports Its experience of a few years
ago to illustrate this point. It began the ex
port of a bromide, and was informed by German
manufacturers that for every pound of the
American-made article exported, Germany would
send two pounds to this country. And the
threat was realized; Germany did send the brom
ide to the United Btates, paid the 25 per cent
duty and undersold fhe Michigan manufacturers
in the home market. Other American firms had
had similar experience, and It Is against this
sort of competition they ask for protection.
Plants for the making of war munitions are
not. to be . permanently devoted to such uses,
are virtually owned by the government to whose
order they have been built, and will only revert
to the American companies at the end of the
war. Until European Industry can be reorgan
ized, the United States will continue a heavy ex
porter, but when the shops of the countries now
at war can again be started up, the battle for
Industrial supremacy will be renewed.
Even the democrats are becoming impressed
with the vital necessity of making provisions
for the fostering of American industries after
the war, but the free trade policy of that party
is too firmly rooted to give the manufacturers
the complete assurance of protection they must
have. The republican party Is traditionally de
voted to the building up of home factories, and
will surely meet and solve this problem In the
only effective way.
Another Model. Town.
Anchorage,' the new town that will be the
water-side terminal of the railroad the federal
government Is to construct in Alaska, Is to be a
model town. At least that is the word sent out
from there, under approval of the officials in
charge of the project. Just what model it Is to
follow is not vouchsafed, other than the inferen
tial information that it will not be on the lines of
early day Alaskan mining camps. "Model"
towns art not a novelty, nor have they been
uniformly successful. . In far-gone antiquity. It
was the easy practice of a conqueror to set the
conquered at work, erecting a "model" city to
take the place of the one he destroyed, and from
deep burled ruins archaeologists have exhumed
records that give us marvel. In modern times
the experiment has not so often been tried. Con
stantlnua built a model city and called It Con
stantinople, and Gibbon tells us it fell to pieces
in a comparatively short time after it was
brought into being. Whether this proves the
fallacy of the Idea, or that the builders of that
time were grafters, may be open to speculation
George M. Pullman built a model city for his
workmen, but later had to give over the idea,
and allow the Individuals to have their own way
Russia founded a model city at Port Arthur, but
the Japanese interference with Its full develop
ment, leaves unsettled any question that might
have been attached to its future. Uncle Sam
has proved himself in many ways the superior
of Nebuchadnetsar, Cyrus, Alexander, Con
ataotinus or any of that lot of builders, and hts
work Is generally done with more of real thor
oughness than that accomplished by Ruaaia, eo
Anchorage may yet stand to the world as an ex-.
ample of what may be done by a government
when it sets out to provide a model.
utarary Duyeat
THAT the manias of kin. dlte the conclusion
of Horn hlnh author HI", may attended with
no evil reatilta, aava when both Block a are weak,
la the theala defended by the late Dr. Edward Nettle
ahlp of the Kntveralty of London, In a noathumona
paper printed In The Journal of Heredity. Th subject
of mania are between blood relation", he note, la on
inmn which there has been milch diversity of opinion,
douttleea often baaed upon the experiences of certain
Ins-la families. Thoae who object, from Individual
experience, would perhaps be surprlaed to find. Ir.
Nettieahlp aava. that the children of mucins aome
times ahow decided Improvement upon their parents.
Tn ahort, he venturea to think that the subject Is one
upon which wa may well aeek more knowledge and
greater dear nes of thought. He goes on to ay or
aui h marriage:
"Tha fundamental queatlona are (1) whether the
offaprlna; of eonaanftulneoua rrent display Inferior or
degenerate characters In larger proportions than do
tha cffaprlng of unrelated parcnta? And 2). If euch.
an effect can be ahown. la the appearance of these
undV'Irable characters attributable to something pro
duced de novo by the union of parents related In
blood, but who themaelvcs contain tio trace of euch
characters, either manifest or hidden Or axe the de
fecta only a result of both parents being tainted, but
not tainted badly enough to ahow?
"The second queatlon la not merely academic. For
If conaangulnlty can produce anmethlng bad, good, or
Indifferent that has never occurred before In the
genealogy, then no cousin marriage Is aafe. But If It
la only a case of inheritance from Dot parents, a
tainted (air who have no community of blood will, an
far aa wa know, he aa likely to have undesirable
offaprltig aa If they were tainted couilna; while
cnualna who are free from taint will be expected to
yield normal children.
' It must be aald at once that the data for answer
ing the flrat queatlon upon atatlatlcal grounds do not
exiat, bpcauae no one tia to the present time ban
been able to obtain sufficiently accurate returns of the
relative number of coneagulneeus and unrelated mar
riages. "As to the second queatlon: Are the defects some
time observed In the ofspring of consanguineous
parenta due to the conaangulnlty aa such or, on the
other hand, to both parents being tainted?
"In regard to the de novo origin of defects In chil
dren of coualn psrentage. we find Charlea Darwin
stating his belief na follow, after having; devoted
much attention to the subject: 'I hope to show tn a
future' work that conaangulnlty by Itaelf counta for
nothing, but acts aolely from related organlama hav
ing a similar constitution, and having been exposed
In moat cases to similar conditions:' and 'a recent
authority, Prof. J. Arthur Thomson of Aberdeen, con
siders thst 'the Idea that there can be any objection
to the marriage of two healthy couaina who happen
to fall In love with each other Is preposterous.' Many
similar, and also some, but I think a diminishing
number of, opposing opinions might be cited.
"Whet, then. Is the origin of the view, or st least
the suspicion, held by many, that consanguineous
unions are Injurious aa such? Without going back to
the early history of marriage coustoms and prohibi
tions a task I am not competent to undertake It In,
1 think, enough to aay that the early Christian church
appeara to be chiefly responsible for the existing resi
due of prejudice against the marriage of cousins. Tha
church put Its ban upon consanguineous unions at
first In connection with the cult of asceticism and
cellbaoy; later, because It was able by the sale of
Indulgences to make money by allowing consanguin
eous couples to break the canonical rules for a con
sideration. That this was so Is confirmed by the sub.
sequent extension of the prohibitions to vsrlous affini
ties, or even accidental associations, between persons
not related at all by blood. .
Of course, other csnses have been and are still at
work In both encouraging snd discouraging consan
guineous marrtagea. Dr. Nettleshlp thinks thst the
most operative cause of, hostility to these unions is
the confus'on between Inheritance of defect from
two slightly tainted but apparently normal parents
and the supposed creation of an entirely new thing
by union between thoae of related blood. For Instance,
If among the children of seemingly normal cousins there
should be some born desf and dumb, no surprise need
be felt if the couslnahlp, as such, Is blamed; although
Inquiry might have found cases of the same malady
in ancestors or collaterals. To quote further from
Dr. Nettleshlp'a discussion:
"That consanguinity of parenta repeated through
many generations Is compatible with the maintenance
of a high standard of health and vigor (mental and
bodily) la demonstrated by well known Instances.
"Of course, plenty of examples are to be found
where an excessive proportion of diseased and de
generate is found smong the offspring of coualn
parenta But these prove no more than that if sucn
degnnerarlea exist in the stock they may be transmitted.
'That inbreeding, very much closer In degree and
repeated far more often than anything In modern
human society, does not necessarily lead to degener
acy, but quite the contrary, la ahown by the history vi
modern breeds of domestlo animals. For it Is of
course sdmltted not only that the marvelous lm.
pro'vements effected during the last 1B0 years In the
breeds of horses, oxen, sheep snd pigs to name only
the more Important kinds of live, stock have been
reached by careful selection of the Individuals possess
in the charactere deal red; but that, aa we are con
stantly - told, the only way to secure and fix such
desirable characters Is to carry out thla crossing of
near relations.
I think, therefore, we may conclude that mar
riages between cousins ' 4rV as safe from the eugento-
polnt of view as any other marrlagaa. provided the
parenta and stock are sound.. ...
The difficulty, or course, ootn for consanguineous
and out-marrlages la to decide upon this vital point;
and as for obvious reasona the family history Is more
likely to be forthcoming -for -a pair of coualns than
for an unrelated tlr, we have here a part explana
tion of tha aversion to cousin-marriage met with In
some families. This explanation will tell with apo
dal force If the disease or defect Is relatively rare,
for then It will be more likely to occur, though in a
latent form, in two coualna than In two strangers
But If the Aefeot apprehended be a frequent one, e. g.,
tuberculosis, the otiancea of the hereditary liability
to' it being present In both parenta and Intensified
in their children may be much the aame whether the
parents were coualna or not."

Keep the 1'nblle Library Open.
OMAHA. July 23. To the Editor of The
Bee: I want to commend The Bee for
making a string protect against the early
fati-rrtay closing of the Omaha public
library.
The people who derive the greatest
benefit from the public library are those
who are compelled to work during the
day time and who can only avail them
selves of Its privileges during the even
ing. Closing the library at 2 p. m. on
Saturday will therefore deprive a large
portion of our people of the advantages
of an institution which they support lib
erally through taxation.
The citixens of Omaha are proud of
their well equipped library, which repre
sents sn Investment of more then $000,
000, and the taxpayers are deeply Inter
ested In aeeing that It accomplishes the
greatest possible amount of good for the
people.
We tiave the plant, consisting of the
building and the books, so why not give
those who are paying the bills every op
portunity to use It.
Let us hope that the Ubrsry board
will see the error of the early closing
Idea and proceed to keep the library open
as many hours as poealble each day, so
that those who are unable to go to the
library during the day time may havo
the benefit of the heavy Investment made
by the people of Omaha.
