The Oregon senate has passed bill
restricting marriages to persons whose
good health has been certified to by
physicians. This is doubtless step in
the right direction and it will probably
be followed sooner or later by the legis-
atures of states apparently less pro-
gressive than that of Oregon. 1t is the
application in mild and limited form
of the knowledge that breeders have
exercised for the Improvement of their
animals for centuries, and that nature
has used since the foundation of the
world in the law of the survival of the
fttest. Civilization, and artificial social
conditions have interfered with and to
a great extent negatived this law with
results in many instances of degeneracy.
We have made great progress in science
and in material things, but it would be
difficult to show that the genus homo
physically or Intellectually has been i'm
proved in the last three thousand years.
There are evidences that in Greece and
Rome and Egypt the quality of brain
and Drawn was as good in extinct civ
ilizations as they are in our own. We
have greatly improved the equine, bo-
vine, canine and other species Of the
animal kingdom by intelligent breeding.
The law is perfectly understood. Is it
not time that it should in some way be
applied to the higher animal?

SENATOR JAMESON RESIGNS.
Seventh Senatorial District Stirred
4 up-AWalts' Governors Return.

Des Moines, March, 4.-Coincident
with the resignation of State Senator
Jameson who yesterday gave up his
seat in the senate to assume today the
duties of congressman from the eighth
Iowa district, comes news of fight in
the seventh senatorial district over the
question of holding an election to name
his successor. The return of Gov. Car
roll from Washington is awaited with
interest by the politicians of Page and
Fremont counties, who want to know
the attitude of the chief executive upon
the meaning of the law relating to spec
ial elections to fill vacancies caused by
designations. 4saSS 5sSsseslas
Normally the district is republican,
but Senator Jameson was elected to
the legislature under unusual condi-
tions. John Donegan, democrat is said
to be willing to make the race for office
though in hope of accomplishing the
same feat that Senator Jameson accom-
plished. Val Graf is most prominently
mentioned as his possible republican
opponent. Few of the people in this
district want an election at this time,
however, and it is considered i'm
probable by Senator Jameson that the
governor will call an election unless he
constructs the law as mandatory on this
subject.
Should an election be held out, it
sould not be until about March 20, and
by the time the successful candidate
could be sworn in as an official he would
have only two or three weeks to serve.
The election would cost about $4,000
and would, it is said serve to stir up
great deal Of political trouble among
the factions that exist in both parties
in the district.
The law of the state upon the subject
of filling vacancies in the legislature
directs that the governor shall call
special election if the legislature is in
session or will be before the term of the
officer who resigns would expire, but
Attorney General Byers thinks that the
intent of this statute is more in the
way of direction than command, and
that it is left to tho discretion of the
governor to call the election or not, as
he sees fit.
Senator Jameson was compelled by
law to tender his resignation yesterday,
as he become this morning member of
congress and the state law prohibits a
citizen from holding two offices at the
same time. He will remain in Des
Moines for several days and will prob
ably leave for Washington about March
10th.

:
1t looks now as if the prohibition
question may again come before the
people of Iowa for adoption or rejection.
A vote taken in the legislative commit
tee on the suppression of intemperence
showed twelve in favor of resubmission
to six against. The committee consists
of twenty-foar. but six members were
not present at the meeting. The fight
is now on on the question on the floor of
the house. Those of us who remember
the bitterness and strife engendered
during the prohibition campaign and
trial of twenty-odd years ago, and who
by observation and reading know that
prohibition does not prohibit" and
who recall its absolute failure to pro-
mote temperance in the state during its
short time of trial, will devoutly hope
and pray that the question may be re-
legated to innocuous desuetude by the
legislature.
