Ei.EvATR THE RACE.

Scientific men and educators are
taking up the question Of breeding
along scientific lines for better and
higher quality OF human beings. They
would have legislation patterned
after the Washington law which
caused such protest from the
preachers OF that state that Il was
repealed. They measured marriage
by the fees ana the law lntergered
with this monetary consideration, and
the protest resulted in It's repeal. but
It was one Of the most sane and SEN
sIble laws ever enacted by state,
The question OF heredity in It's var
ious phases = the greatest problem
before the civilized world today, be-
cause Il covers 50 many other divis-
ions and subjects dealing with the
future OF tho race. among the most
important being the higher mental,
physical and moral standards which
may be brought about BY the observ-
anee OF scientific laws In the repro
dactlon OF the race through the mar
rage state, For this reason It Is nee
easary to begin by reforming the
marriage laws along the lines laid
down by the state OF Washington In
its first attempt to elevate the race.
The committee on resolutions OF the
Omaha National corn show recently
adopted resolutions along the lines
OF this reform. which Is the first de-
eisive action taken by such an or
ganization In this country. II We

WOmdn'S Park Club
TODeCide two Dates

Arrangements for two important ac-
tivities are being made this afternoon
at the meeting of the Woman's park
club, which is being held in the Y. M.
G. A. Tag day and the date of the
local dramatic entertainment will be
settled. Also bids for the park swings,
to be located in the children's corner,
will be opened, and the contract Will
probably be decided.
The local dramatic entertainment,
which was to have been given Feb
ruary 20, was postponed On account
of Lent Many who were willing, and
who wished to take part, did not like
to do so during Lent and so the en-
tertainment was postponed 1t Will
probably be given the second week
after the Lenten season.
Tag day will also be settled at the
meeting this afternoon. From all IN
dications it will be set for some day,
probably Saturday, in the first week
in April Tag day has been postponed
ON account of the weather; but by the
first of April it is thought the cllmat-
ic conditions will be settled enough
to make the day thoroughly success
fu,.
Other minor matters are coming ul'
at the meeting, which is the reguia-
monthly session of the CLUB.

that the congressional

lumbermen are particularly anxious
to have the tariff preserved on low

Never in the history of any indus

Big Choir for
Gypsy Smith

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. ia
chorus of 1000 voices, largely COM
posed of members of the Young Wb-
mems Christian association, will be
Kansas City's musical contribution to
the great revival to be held here dur
ing the next two weeks by Gypsy
Smith. The famous English evangel-
ist, who began his career in a gypsy
wagon, is here today and has COM
pleted plans for the greatest revival
in Kansas City's history. His famous
march through the 'red light district
of Pittsburg, made during the recent
campaign in the Smoky city, will
doubtless be repeated in Kansas City.
1t is declared by the evangelist that
Kansas City is a "hotbed of agnosti
cism," owing to the presence in it's
midst of the Church of This World,
confessedly heretical organization
presided over by the eloquent and
scholarly DR.. John E. Roberts. Some
of the best people of the city are
members of DIR. Roberts congrega-
ton, and the gypsy evangelist hopes
to win these ''kid-g glove inf1dels" back
to orthodoxy. There has been some
talk of a debate between DR.. Roberts
and the Bipsy preacher, but it is not
likely that such wordy warfare can
be arranged Smith is a forceful pull
pit orator, but his most devoted ad-
mirers admit that in logic and learn
ing he would be no match for the
Kansas City minister.

ndence)-Supporter of the Falconer-
McMaster, or Anti Saloon league, local
option bill claim that they now lack
but two of enough votes to pass it
through the senate, and have strong
grounds for the belief that before the
bill comes up for final passage they will
have these two needed votes. Ac-
cording to their poll Of the senate this
will give them enough votes to put
the bill through without amendment,
but without these two votes they ad-
NIT that it will be impossible to pass
the bill without an amendment pro-
vding for separate units in cities of
the first class. The members of the
senate, who are clasSed as favorlng
the bill units entirely are Anderson,

erbocker MCGOWAN, Minkler, Nichols,
Piper Potts, Presby, Rosenhaupt, Ruth,

When the bill reached the senate
from the house Thursday, it was re-
ferred to the committee on public
morals. with Instructions to report it
out with the recommendation that it
be included in the special order for
next Wednesday, at which time the
three other bills on the same subject
are to be considered.
The "drys" now threaten to vote
against appropriations for state schools
unless the representatives from dis
tricts where schools are situated agree
to support the McMasters' bill. This
effort is directed particularly against
the Spokane delegation, the direct
threat being made that unless the
Spokane senators lend their support,
the "drys" will vote to abolish the
Cheney normal school or vote down
the appropriation for it.
