THE STERILIZATION OF MAN
KIND

D6ny II though VIC mdy' INC SSSAAA
cation of mankind is gradually ap-
preaching. The innumerable pollen
of the plant, the enormous spawn OF
the fish, show how nature attempts to
insure the perpetuity Of the lower spe'
cies at all hazards. Millions of seeds
are produced that thousands may be
planted, that hundreds may take root,
that a dozen may arrive at maturity.
This applies to the lower forms of
animal life, as everyone knows. But
when, as Fiske shows, the danger is
reduced to a minimum, nature makes
each impregnated individual cell de-
velop and counterfeit the parent. Lit
tie by little. as settled conditions of
civilization obtain, formulation is not
needed so frequently, and smaller
families result. 1t is then that man
instinctively breeds for quality, not
quantity. The love and the fastidi-
BUSINESS once necessary merely to
bring together the sexes for the pur-
pose of generation is then expended
in carefully breeding the inheritors of
the accumulated wisdom of the cen
turtles. Gradually, as Bernard Shaw
so well shows, 'the great central pur-
pose of breeding the race to heights
now deemed superhuman, will break
through into clear sunlight as pur-
pose no longer to be confused with
the qualification of personal fancies,
the impossible realization of boys and
girls dreams of bliss, or the need OF
older people for companionship. or
money"
This may seem cynical, but in real
| ty it is far removed from cynicism.
The ultimate aim of nature, the pro-
duction of a morally, mentally, physi-
cally perfect human race, is gradual
| ly but surely being consummated.
Numbers are already being sacrificed
for kind, the energy once so prodigal-
ly used for the production of a multi
tude is now conserved and employed
in the perfection of individuals.
From this law there seems no escape.
The Roosevelts of today may talk all
they please about the dangers of race
suicide. If Giminution in the number
born is a suicide of the race then ma
ture is a murderess. But her aim is
| beneficent There have been untold
millions of years of preparation; pos
sibly many aeons will elapse ere the
perfect specimen of man is evolved.
The fact that the greatest travail has
already been passed would seem to
prove that nature is gradually ap.
preaching the contamination for
which she has been laboring these
untold ages-the production of a per-

with the matter. But | would like TO
know, gentlemen, how long a time
you would need to for the

Mr.. PLATTE: If your honor will

on the matter, and influence your

sion. The statements as made by
Mr.. Richards and Mr.. Fowler con
corning the proprieties OF the case
desire to state to your Honor that
the offense for which the defendant
mas been charged upon three separ-
ate indictments found by the FEEDER ,
al Grand Jury, are offenses which
come strictly within the provisions of
the Federal statutes. My under
standing from the statement OF coun-

TWO SISTERS DROWNED.

Sioux Falls.-Two deaths resulted
from small boat capsizing on the
Blk Sioux river, just east of the Great
Northern railroad bridge, here, the
victims being Miss Mabel Meisenheld-
er, aged %, and her sister Pearl, aged
20. The former was a teacher in the
public schools at Aurelia, Iowa, and
was spending her vacation at the fam
lily home in Sioux Falls. The bodies
of both have been recovered.
John Roth, their male escort, was in
such an exhausted condition that not
until today was he able to give the
details of the tragedy and reveal the
identity of the young women. The
boat was capsized by one of the girls
rising to her feet for the purpose of
getting a better view Of the river,
She lost her balance and fell out of
the boat.
Her sister then arose and the craft
was capsized throwing the other girl
and Roth into the river. Roth per-
sisted in his attempts to rescue the
girls until he was in the last stages of
exhaustion. He then managed to
grasp the overturned boat, to which
he chung until rescued in another boat.
