q RACE BUILDER.

AT recent meeting of the Homeo-
pathic Medical Society, at Portland,
Ore, Ella K. Dearborn, young wO-
man doctor recommended the chloro-
forming of the unfit, of whatever age.
This is step further than the OsIer
theory. The young woman also sug-
gested the refusal of a permit to
marry to any but the physically per-
feet.
The young woman is a race builder
but only from the physical stand
point. That's the way to breed ami
mails and to improve stock, and
would by a good way to build up the
human race if it were on the same
plane as the animal - the horse and
the COW. But as long as the mental
is superior to the physical it is hardly
wise to apply this young woman's
theory
Alexander Stephens, for instance,
physically was almost as frail as a
piece of glass, but see what won

lies copy of the Life and Works of
Henry Ward Beecher." 1t is cover
ed over with cobwebs and hasn't
been opened for years.
This man, so distinguished in his
life as to BE called second Shakes

years, yet he lives only as memory.
His words no longer stir the multi

Henry Ward Beecher wrote but one
novel. He was SO popular at the time
that he was paid the enormous sum of
$3O,OOO for its production before he
had written a line of it. He put forth
his best effort and hoped that it would
be immortal. Yet how many in this
generation have read that novel Or
even know its title? We dare say,
not one! 1t lies musty and neglected
on a few library shelves.
When he grew to greater manhood
| and reached broader intellectual
| measurements, Mr.. Beecher wrote a
| work entitled the Life of Christ. -
In it he poured out the sweet essence
of his soul; his richest, most sublime
and beautiful thoughts. 1t was in
tended to be masterpiece. 1t was to
set all doubts aside; silence all skepti-
cism and criticisms of Christ's di-
vinity and give consolation and peace
to generations as they make their en-
frances and exits in the play of the
worlds great drama.
Yet who reads it?
The writings of Henry Ward
Beecher are as effectually out of print
as if the author were dead for more
than an hundred years.
What tale it tells!
Here was a man that electrified
audiences in this country and Eng
land as few orators had ever done.

To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
In view of the terrible corruption
that is being unearthed in every di-
rection among men who are enJrust-
ed with the handling OF "other peo-
ple's money! the report of the Lady
Managers of the ST. Louis Exposition
comes as a pure and refreshing
breeze from an atmosphere polluted
almost to suffocation blythe dishon-
estes of men in high official posi-
tions.
The Lady Managers of the ST. Louis
Exposition were given 100000 of
government money to expend, and
they have done the unheard of thing
among men. of returning $26, 667.5
There were no restrictions placed
upon them. They could do with the
money just AS they choose, and in re-
turning more than one-quarter of the
amount with books all straight, bills
all paid and proper vouchers: for all
bills, they have set an example in the
expenditure of government money
which should cause people to think
and silence those who are loudly de-
nouncing the right women to partici-
pate in governmental affairs on the
ground that they are lacking in bust
ness ability.
Ii the returns of money not needed
shows a lack of business ability, let
us have less business ability in the
management of our government and
more of the un-business methods of
women. We need more heart SYM
pathles and less head scheming in the
business affairs of this country.
