WOULD PURIFY
FUTURE SOCIETY
ALEXANDER JOHNSON SAYS 1T
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED
Suggests Segreeating Those Who Are
Physical and Mental Degener-
ates-BeIieves Environment
Important
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 21.-There is nc
reason why society should not relieve
itself of the burden of mental and phy.
sical degenerates in two or three gene.
rat1ons, according to Alexander John
son, secretary of the national confer
ence of charity and corrections.
This can be accomplished very easily,
Mr.. johnson told the school of philan-
throphy yesterday, simply by segregat-
ing these individuals.
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 taught
young. They should be taken into the
care of the mother state from childhood
until death and thereby the state will
be serving not only it's own best inter-
ests but those of the defective indi-
vidual.
II don't like paternalism in govern
ment, but you can't have too much ma
ternalism."
Environment Most Important
Although DR.. Johnson believes in ELI
minating bad stock he thinks that the
idea of heredity has been greatly over
worked and that environment Is mat
ter of infinitely more importance.
II would rather be born in the worst
slum, of the worst parents that ever
were," he said, "and be removed to a
satisfactory environment at birth than
to be born under the best possible con-
ditions and then removed to a bad en-
vironment.
'Heredity is a powerful factor and
we need never be surprised at any
thing it does Yet this influence is
slight compared with that of environ
ment, and much that passes as heredty
is really the result of environment"
Mr., johnson expressed the opinion
that Guiteau and possibly Czolgosz
were detectives, and ought to have been
sent to insane asylums instead of be-
ing executed.

THE DIRT FLY IN CANAL
ZONE.

TON AT CLOSE RANGE IN
STEAD.

Washington, June 60 President
Roosevelt will visit the isthmus of
Panama to make personal investiga-
tion of the work of construction of
the Panama canal.
This announcement was made at the
White House Saturday by Secretary
Loeb after a conference with the
president
1t is expected that the president
will leave Washington for Panama the
latter part of October or in the early
days OF November. He will be absent
about three weeks. The trip probably
will be made on one of the big cruis-
ers. but what vessel is not known.
Details Not Worked Out.
Details of the trip have not been
worked out. Beyond the bare decision
to make the trip, the president has
reached practically no conclusions. 1t
is likely he will be accompanied by
Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts
of the Panama canal commission but
even this has not been determined.
The president long has desired per-
sonally to inspect the route of the
canal and to make himself familiar
with the great undertaking.
The suggestion that he visit the
American zone on the isthmus has
been under consideration for a consid-
cradle time. 1t is the expectation that
the president will be able to spend at
least week on the canal zone and,
in that time. he will familiarize him
self with the situation by study of it
at close range.
Fit Him for Great Work.
A personal visit to the canal zone
will enable him to handle with an alb
solute knowledge of the situation the
great problems which constantly will
be arising.
Secretary Loeb said the president
had decided not to visit San Francisco
next autumn to participate in the cere-
monies incident to the laying of the
corner stone of the new federal build
ing. While the president desires to
do anything he properly can to pro-
mote the reconstruction of the city, he
cannot make the trip to Panama and
that to San Francisco, too.
For several weeks the president has
been considering the matter of making
a trip next spring through the Middle
West, touching points in Ohio Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma
and perhaps other states.

of Norwegians in America. and that
