gate Matter, and Look Over Route
This MOrnlng.

1t now looks as though the north side
OF Grays Halbor. with it's O,OOO popula.
ton, was about to be connected with the
outside world by wagon road. After the
adjournment of the city council last
evening, public meeting was held on
this matter. The occasion was to meet
State Highway Commissioner Snow, and
State Auditor Clauson, who is ex-officio
member OF the highway board, and quite
a warm session was held.
Besides Mayor Lindstrom-who pre-
sided-and the council. members of the
council elect and County Commissioners
Davis and Arland, as we'll as Commits.
sioner 'ect Watkins, we're present and
took pa. in the discussion.
The attitude OF Arland and Watkins
was SO painfully apparant Of jealousy
that Aberdeen might be benefited as to
cause disgust in the minds OF the state
officials. Messrs. S. X. Bowes, J. A.
Hood and others put the matter up 90
forcibly as to cause change OF front by
Messrs. Watkins and Arland, and a
meeting was held in hotel Washington
this morning, attended by the county
commissioners, city council and repre-
! sentative citizens, that resulted in their
going over the proposed road around the
bluff. Upon their return, session was
held-and is going on as we 60 to press
that will determine the matter so far as
state funds are concerned.
The controversy is an old one, briefly
stated, it means that out of q state ap-
propriation-already in the treasury and
| which will lapse back unless expended
by March 81, next-amounting to $3.50
for the Montesano. Port Angeles road,
this sum can be expended on the Aber-
deem bluff, it costing the city several
times that sum ts complete the road.
A certain petty jealousy in small
minds in Hoquiam and Montesano op-
pose this state aid, but, as the commits
sioners said plainly last night, the pro
posed expenditure benefited the entire
north side of Grays Harbor, and its le-
gality had been fully looked into, SO that
all that was desired was the county of
Chehalis to expend sum equal to one
half Of the state appropriation
AS this is written it is believed the
meeting this afternoon will concur in the
proposition if this city will do its part,
and build the road at once. As Aberdeen
is noted chiefly for doing things, the road
is practically assured during the coming
summer.

INGRAM WINS,
Judge Irwin Decides Against Council
man BreChf.

In the contest of Brecht vs.. Ingram,
Judge Irwin has decided that Aberdeen
was a city Of the second class since the
filing OF the necessary papers, and that,
consequently, the city council had no
authority to review the election returns.
The decision brings to notice the fact
that under the law city OF the second
class has no remedy whatever in case of
a contested election, and is another of
many features of the statutes that require
alteration in regard to cities of this class.
ReprCsentative-elect Hogan has the
opportunity-and nowledge, as we'll as
disposition-to havea good many changes
made in the laws relating to cities of the
second class, and we shall publish later
some OF his views along this line.

On the so-called race suicide" ques-
ton there is a good deal Of loose talk
and generalizlng without knowledge
Professor e. A. Ross article on civili-
zatlon and the birth rate In q recent
issue of sociological periodical is one
of the many Illustrations Of how not
to treat the question. 1t Is apparently
based on few facts and cavalier dis
regard Of all facts that are adverse to
the theory held by the author. 1t Is
easy, on the one hand, to say that the
restriction of the size of the family Is
due to selfshness, love of pleasure,
Sinking of the duties and responsible
ties Of life, lack of moral courage. 1t Is
equally easy, on the other hand, to ar
que that restriction Is both symptom
of progress material and physical, and
cause of It, Professor Ross cheerful
ly assumes that all those who hate fam
inc, vice, ignorance pauperism and dis
ease hail the decline of the birth rate,
while those who deplore it he consigns
to such categories as 'mystics, clerics,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, DlltlldIloIo, CdplIdllSIS.
Now any man of average experience
and intelligence Is aware that the re-
strictlon of the size of the family Is
neither necessarily a blessing nor nee
essarily a curse to society. He knows
of instances where the restriction is I'M
doubtedly the result of unworthy mo-
tives, and he also knows of cases where
there Is too little rather than too much
thought of restriction. In England two
attempts have been made to get at the
facts-all the facts-of the birth rate
In a really scientific manner. A report
on the subject was issued some time
ago by the mathematical department
Of the London University. That report
showed that the restriction was prac-
ticed lat the wrong end" The rate Is
low for the superior, the thrifty, the
educated and prosperous; 1t is not low
for the morally and socially inferior
classes. The evidence showed, accord
Ing to the report, that "the birth rate
of the more capable stocks was decreas-
Ing relatively to the mentally and ply
sically feebler stocks" The families
were largest where the conditions #
life were least favorable, and smallest
where the opportunities for healthy
growth were ample. The London Fa-
bian Society made a careful inquiry
into the same subject and reported
that, while the rich boroughs of Lon
don showed for given year 1904
births per 10000 Of population, the In
termediate boroughs showed rates be
tween 1852 and 2,490, while the poores
boroughs had rate of 3,07S, or 80 pei
cent more than In the rich quarters
Professor Ross puts the cart before the
horse when he assumes that restric
ton will give us healthier and better
offspring, and that economic pressure
is responsible for 1t. He forgets tt
ask where the restriction Is practicet
as rule.
