save society. 1t says further that
criminals, panpers, perverts. inebriates,
the insane and the diseased may not be
responsible for themselves; but it asks,
is not the State responsible? And can
q higher cruelty or a lower immortality
be Imagined than the infection of
those defects upon a new and innocent
soul?"
Now this is a serious question, one
that theologians, not politicians, should
consider. There are limits to the
power of the State over the individual.
1t is a grave matter for the State to
step in and tell any man who is in full
possession of his reason that he cam
not exercise faculties which are COM
mon to all men because he has some
physical defect. Besides there is no
science which can say with certainty
whether the offspring of diseased par
ents are going to inherit their defects
or not. There is school of biologists
headed by Weismann who are today
stoutly maintaining that acquired char
acteristics are not transmitted. There is
an element of uncertainty here which
science cannot eradicate. 1t is a moral
question first and foremost and until
theologians have given their answer,
legislators have no right to act.
One paragraph in the editorial is
worth quoting. Here it is:
Karl Pearson, described as Cations
ablest disciple, has shown that in
Great Britain twenty-five per cent of
the population, and they the most I'M
desirable portion, are producing fifty
per cent of the English children. If
this process continues the result must
be national degeneracy within a COM
putable period"
Now why do twenty-five per cent of
the population, and they the most un-
desirable. produce fifty per cent of the
English children? Does not this indi-
cate. if it indicates anything, just
where race suicide is rampant? And
are not those who are guilty of this
crime as degenerate and more degen-
crate than those who have defects for
which they may not be responsible? If
seventy five per cent of the better
classes, so called, of the people of
Great Britain do not raise as many
children as the remaining undesirable
portion" it is certain that moral de-
generacy is not confined to "undesir-
able portion"
Darwins theory of the origin of
species was based on the survival Of
the ffttest-that is, the fittest to sur
vive in any given environment. Now
if the lowest stratum of society socially
is better fitted to survive than the
highest stratum, who is to blame if the
former survives at the expense of the
latter? And is not the problem which
the seventy-f1ve per cent have raised
as grave or graver than the other prob
lens? Who is the greater menace, he
that propagates detectives or he that
has recourse to the Sacrament of Mat
rimony to legalize prostitution?
The Irish standard., 1911-07-15

Natural science can never disprove
the existence OF God It's function is
to discover the laws of nature. But
since law of nature is but state
ment Of what has been found to take
place under given conditions, and not a
cause which produces certain results,
the laws of nature do not explain the
why or wherefore of phenomena. The
scientist knows that bodies in the uni
verse attract each other but he does
not know why. II the complex laws
revealed by scientific Investigations
teach anything it is that the universe
is the work of an intelligent Cause, an
omnipotent Creator.

but we have no record of a more
truly elemental tragedy than is told
in this silent drama. 1t is a true

dispatches. A plain woman of the
people, content to be nothing more
than faithful wife and a loving
mother is suddenly plunged into a
fearful anxiety for the lives of her
husband and sons. President Diaz
bold in his youth. resolute in his
prime and bloody IN his old age,
causes the arrest of Talmantes and his
two sons. They are torn from their
family and condemned to death The
sentence is promptly carried out
while the wife and mother pleads for

Why Sh0uIdITTSe
CutiCuTa Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and l thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to P,r9cnt skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and pvophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, tits prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by

DELAWARE COLLEGE
UNDER FIRE

AS many Of the patrons and read
ers OF the CECIL WING are interest
ed in Delaware College, the following
article fro mthe Wilmington Evening
Journal will be of interest to them, in
view of the pending controversy as
the Colleges future at the hands of
the Delaware Legislature.-Ed.l
Editor OF the Evening Journal
Apropos Of the new charter for Deia-
ware College, | should like to make
a few inquiries through your columns,
which | hope may awaken public in
terest in one OF the most important
measures to come before the present
Legislature.
Is it true that less than half the
trustees manage affairs at the college,
on account OF there being no COM
mittees-and that this minority in
turn are controlled by a community Of
interests OF few?
Is it true that important matters are
decided without making them known
to the whole board?
Why is it that some trustees serve
on more than one committee when a
