WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Ur-christ;sn Law?


The Syracuse Sun says in an edi-
The state of Connecticut has come
into the possession of a startling law,
as we learn from the Catholic Tran
script. The measure referred to Is
one to E.erilize proved idiots, con-
sumptive and criminals. The cranks
responsible for its passage assert that
people Of such classes must not be al
lowed TO reproduce their species.
The law is unhuman, un-C Christian
and unconstitutional. 1t is, also bas-
ed on an approved, unscientific the
ory. 1t assumes that such people act
uallv do produce children like them
selves.
There is nothing whatever In the
theory of heredity. The ablest SCI
ologfsts of the world abandoned 1t
decade ago. AS it is not true that the
children of poets are invariably poets,
so it has been shown that the children
Of thieves are not always thieves. The
children of musicians are not always
musicians and the children Of muir
derers are not invariably murderers
Environment is the real explanation OF
apparent heredity.
"It is time for Catholics to watch
out for the passage of similar law
in other states. 1t is anti-Christlan
and 1lO1CulOuc, Dull lilClc dAC
at work seeking the enactments Of
such statutes, The Catholics of Hi
nois last spring defeated an attemp
to pass such a law, but somehow W,
are less watchful here in the east
| Let US save ourselves deserved re
proach by looking out for such legisla
! ton in time"
| Even the suggestion from the Cath
| ollie clergy of Connecticut during tn
session of the general assembly, tina
this law was disapproved would prob
| ably have been sufficient to kill it o
| at least cause more serious considera
ton by the assemblymen before adopt
ing it. The Sun is right when it say
| the Catholics of the east are les
watchful. But there is a more pro
gressive spirit among some OF tn
| younger Catholic clergymen, and w
expect to hear more of them discus
legislative matters before, not aftel
they become laws in the near future

GOING TO BE A TROLLEY CON.
1pucTOR.

A Lawrence, Kan, minister has left
the pulpit to become trolley car
conductor. While this looks like a
step down for the Rev. D. II. Car
rick. il looks to us like a step up
for him, for it is, he claims, the
only way he can lead an honest life.
Read what he has to say concerning
his own experiences as a pulpiteer:
IF the minister breaches the truth
he will be condemning the lives OF
most of his congregation and Offend
ing them. Instead of preaching their
convictions, the ministers Of the gos-
pei avoid anything that might tread
upon personal grounds for fear of Of
Tense. He passes over this and that
and lives a lie every day Of his life in
order not 10 offend the influential
members OF his congregation"
What a sorry time Of it he has had
because he would speak right out IN
meeting" II he had known now 70
present the truth to his people, per-
haps his experiences would have been
entirely different; and II he does not
know how to control the electric juice
anv better than he knew how to pre-
sent the truth, or open up the treas
ures of the Gospel to an audience, ne
is likely to make a mighty poor con-
ductor. out of his own mouth comes
the evidence for his condemnation.

A COMMEMORATE QUEST.

The endeavor of the Providence
Journal to find out why the cheapest
cuts of meat are selling for three cents
a pound more in New England cities
than in some other cities is pleasing
to the consumers everywhere. The
journal finds that sin Baltimore and
Philadelphia, for example, the best
porterhouse steak retails at % and 20
cents. In Providence second grade
porterhouse costs as high as 40 cents.
in Baltimore and Philadelphia the
choicest cuts Of sirloin sell for Is
and 20 cents. In Providence the con-
sumner is forced to pay IS TO 40 cents
for steak OF lower grade. In New
York first-grade beef costs six cents
a pound less than inferior beef in
Providence. These figures certainly
are not calculated to make the Prov
idence consumer feel that the retail
meat dealer is his friend"
The Journal says further that ''tht
best advertisement that a city car
have is reasonable cost of food sup
plies. What are the men who a few
months ago inaugurated a boom fol
Providence doing to put Frovidenct
on equality with other seaboard cities
in this respect?'
This question is well put. The plac,
which presents advantages of trade t.

those which are low to sell produce il

cook,s phiIadslphia Lsoture.

The conquest of the North Pole was
achieved again by DIR. Cook in his
lecture. With vivid picture and still
more vivid words he carried the 1900
persons who filed the Academy on his
trip from July 3, 1907, to the big
to the meeting with Harry Whitney at
Annootok, in Greenland.
In almost a conversational way he
told his story, simply, directly. He
used the personal pronoun but once or
twice, and mentioned the name of
Peary at the very outset of his talk
as an explorer, like Melville and Gree
ley, Nansen and Sverdrup, whose prior
successes in battling with the polar
regions were the stepping stones of
his own dash to the top of the
world"
OF personal adventures, of life
struggles against famine and against
cold, he spoke always as "our" fights
or the successes 'we'' achieved. And
though the interest was tense when
the explorer carried his hearers to the
top of the globe, breaking out in long
continued applause as there flashed
upon the screen the ice-hut with the
stars AMI stripes fIuttering over it tc
mark the very tip of the world, the
discoverer told his story calmly.

THE BANNER STATE FOR PoTA
TOES.

Maine holds the banner for growing
the greatest number OF bushels of po-
tatoes to the acre, and while the av-
erage yield per acre Is only S4.S bush
els, that state shows an average OF
125 bushels to the acre, which demon
strates that potatoes grow in the
state of Maine as they grow nowhere
else in this land; and the potato belt
in which two-thirds of all the Irish
potatoes are grown is composed of the
northern tier Of states extending from
Maine to North Dakota, Nebraska be-
ing the only state west of the Mis-
souri river TO rank among the leaders
producing potatoes. The leaders rank
in the following order: New York
Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Mime
sofa and Nebraska.
Connecticut does not get into the
limelight, but she grows as good po-
tatoes in limited quantities as are tt
be found anywhere.

WE HAVE ENOUGH LAW.

During the campaign Just ended
the license men have made one claim
with reference to the law which is
worthy of attention. They have said:
what is the matter with these fell
low (alIuding to the no-license lead
ers). We have a strict license law
and II it was enforced, the restric-
tons We have applied, the business
would be well enough as it Isl"
Now why is not the license law
enforced? The principal reason is that
this great community has made 1t
no ones duty to enforce 1t. We all
think that II is the other fellows
duty-that enforcement of the law be-
longs to the police. 1t does when the
community stands for the law and the
police know that they have back OF
them in their action the solid moral
support Of the community
II the opponents of this strictness
can make sneaks of business men
and all who have personal interests
at stake towards, then they can bull
doze the police and dishonor the pro-
visions OF their licenses.
We are all to blame for this loose
condition OF things. 1t does no good
for prohibitionists to say it is up tc
those who vote license to see that the
license law is strictly obeyed, for we
do not believe in it.; or for the Ii
cense men to say that they should
think that the no-license men would
now commence an active campaign tc
force saloon keepers to respect the
law. When this community says the
law must be respected 1t will be; ant
when it shows the police it means
business they will Immediately do bus
mess.
No class of citizens is responsible
for this slackness-the blame rest:
