Environment Counts Tor More
than Heredity.
ELIMINATE ALL DEGENERATES
Theory is Advanced That the Govern
ment Should Care For the Weak
Minded and Degenerate
Human Beings.

NEW YORK. June 2l,-There is no
reason why Chicago should not relieve
itself of the burden of mental and physi.
cal degenerates in two or three genera
tions, according to Alexander johnson,
! secretary of the national conference Of
charity and corrections. This can be
accomplished very easily, Mr.. Johnson
told the school of philanthropy yester-
day, simply by segregating these indi-
viduals
"They should be educated to the full
est extent possible" he said, "and it is
astonishing what can be done with a
feeble minded child if it is caught young,
They should be taken into the care of
the mother state from childhood until
death and thereby the state viii be
serving not only its own best interests
but those of the defective individual. |
don't like paternalism in government,
but we can't have too much maternal
ism."
Although Mr.. Johnson believes in
eliminating bad stock, he thinks that the
idea of heredity has been greatly over
worked and that environment is mat
ter of infinitely more Importance.
Il would rather be born in the worst
slum, of the worst parents that ever
We're" he said, "and be removed to a
satisfactory environment at birth than
be born under the best possible condi-
tions and then be removed to bad en-
vironment, Heredity is powerful fac
tor and we need never be surprised at
anything it. does. Yet this influence is
slight compared with that Of environ
ment and much that passes was heredity
is really the result of environment
Mr.. johnson expressed the opinion
that Guiteau and probably Czolgosz
were detectives and ought to have been
sent to insane asylums instead Of being
executed

Washington Shinsle Mills Have
Ceased Operations.
GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED
Sixty Per Cent Of the Mills Close On
Orders From Committee in Charge
Of the Shingle Weavers
Union.

SEATTLE. June 2l.-Sixty per cent
of the mills manufacturing star shingles,
and 90 per cent of clear mills were closed
today by committee of single
in charge of the general strike. 1t is
estimated the shingle employees of the
union numbers $500 men, and majority
of these are out on strike.
Reports from outside towns show the
mills have been closed irrespective of
membership in either the shingle bureau
or strike insurance fund. In the same
centsrs local conditions entirely have
caused the strike. This is true where
the men had grievance against their
employers and took advantage of the
general strike to carry the movement
outside the bureau mills.
Two of the three Bellingham combi-
nation mills closed by the weayers' COM
mittee have not been identified with the
shingle mills bureau, and one has con-
sistently fought each bureau movement.
Both the combination and the straight
shingle mills are being affected by the
strike of the weavers. In the combina-
tion mills only the shingle departments
have been ordered out.

Threatened Divergence Between
President and House Is
Not Realized.
TRAVELLING EXPENSES AGAIN
McLaurin and McCumber Sharply Criti-
else Sundry Civil Bill Amendment
Appropriating sas, 600 for Presi-
dents Travelling Expenses.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The senate
today took position in accord with the
President and House by declaring in
favor Of the lock canal across the 18th.
mus of Panama. The result was reached
after days discussion almost devoid Of
interesting incidents. The vote today is
generally accepted as settling the type
of the great waterway and terminates
what at one time threatened to become
a sharp divergence between the Senate
on the one hand and the President and
House on the other. The remainder of
the day was devoted to an amendment
to the sundry civil bill appropriating
$4,000 for the Presidents travelling ex-
penses and the subject was unfinished
when the Senate adjourned. McLaurin
and McCumber criticised the provision
sharply.

REGULATE PRICES.

NEW YORK. June 2l.-At the annual
convention Of the National Stationers' 4
Manufacturers Association yesterday
r. s. Williams of st. Paul said he
thought something ought to be done
concerning prices.
"We don't propose anything that will
violate the antitrust law" he said
"but we do believe that prices can be
legitimately regulated. In my own
town, for instance. before the establish
ment of the local stationers' organiza-
tion, the stationers spent more time
knocking one another than they did
in boosting their own business"
The matter, 1t is expected, win come
up later.

today. Instead of taking up the House

from st. Petersburg, Of trouble at
Cronstadt, Ivan Narodny, Russian who
came here in the interests OF revilution-
lists, said yesterday,
"There will be soon, great mutiny in

more success than the already historic
mutny in the Black Sea feet. The cap
tains commanding are in sympathy with
the revolutionary movement and will
declare at the appointed time for re-

"rhe fact is the army officers drawn
from the noble class are on sympathetic
terms with the men from the peasant
and artisan classes. The common people
and the mobiles in Russia are not sepa-
rated by the gulf that stood between
these classes under the ancient regime in
France. The mobiles throughout Russia
and the gentry too--are the peasants
closest friends, on the most cordial and
friendly footing. The mobiles are the
backbone of the revolution in Russia,
The bureaucracy is drawn from neither
class, and Is hated by both classes.
ut is the system which causes riots
like that at Bialystok.
"'rhe reason why the bureaucracy stirs
up this resentment against the Jews is
that they are seen to be an element
strong for revolution radicals"
