II have been called a crank on the
liquor question, says Judge McDan-
lei of Ynba county California; in a
public address recently. by virtue
of my Office l am in a position to see
the deplorable conditions that exist
as result of the saloon have com
pared conditions in jMarysville with
those in the dry county of Suffer
The result is startling. In Yuba
City (dry territory for certain
period there were fifty-four arrests
as against 1 200 in Marysville for
the same time. Ninety per cent Of
these arrests can be traced directly
to the saloons. Do you wonder that
/ hate them? : Do you wonder that
we all hate them? Did you ever know
any good to come from them? | hate
them for the hearts of wives and
children they have broken. | hate
them for the genius they have de-
stroyed. Eight men have come be-
fore me recently and been sentenced
to prison Seven. of them we're there
because of drinkthe products of
saloons. The decent saloon where
no boy under age is admitted, where
no gambling takes place, where no
man with the sign of intoxication is
sold a drinks the saloon with a
big iron bar across its door"

Medical Professor, ias Masaziee Ar

Breaking Down.
Scores Suffragets Who Possess M
Instinct Of Motherhood.

THE human family is breaking
itself down. We are developing a
wumanhood tina, is becoming free of
the instructive desire for motherhood
and frequently without the capacity
for it. The racial strength of repro
duction is declining"
In an article entitled THE Enemy
at the Gate, in the current Outlook.
Max G. Schlapp, head of the depart
ment of neuropathology in the post
graduate medical school and hospital
sounds warning to the women who
are being influenced by the high ten
sion under which society exists to-
day, and adds:
Never has the world done its
work under such high tension as
today.
THE mistress of the home has as
many engagements as the master 3
says DR.. Schlapp The woman who
belongs to clubs and societies, acting
on scores of committees, taking part
in meetings, negotiating business
deals for the cause until she trem-
bles from the excitement of it all, is
following an example spurred on by
a restless energy that is due to dis
regard Of mental and physical hygi-
ene
THE birth rate drops and of the
children born the proportion OF
those infirm increases, SO at last we
are confronted with the proof that
the high speed effort Of our daily
lives has brought suffering not only
upon ourselves, but also upon our
children. 1t is shocking to contem-
plate how far the visitation has ex-
tended. There are more criminals
and imbeciles than ever before
There are fewer births TO each 1000
Of population.
I'VE have here lie first explana-
ton of the abnormaly active women
Gentle women, naturally retiring
and unassertive, become suffragets
and they stand boldly on soap bo,
in public square before motley
throng to proclaim tneir demands.
These same women, driven BY
the exigencies of the hour approve
such conduct on the part of theil
sisters as that of breaking UP meet
ings, storming and insult ng public
men in streets, throwing stones ant
smashing windows. These condition
are only an evidence Of nervous
distress that has become universal.
ct is not only because fewer chill
dren are being brought into thu
world that we have cause for grav'
concern for the perpetuity of thu
race, but because the number of de
fective born has grown alarmingfy
and is constantly increasing. Thi
is the awful menace.

ReSubmissiOn Defeated in Maine
Legislature.
Special Dispatch, March %, 1912.
The local option resubmission
bill, to pass which The Maine Legis-
lature was convened in special ses-
sion, came up for action March %.
1t passed the Senate by strict party
vote, but failed to get the required
two-thirds vote in the House. A
good many members who voted for
resuIbmission year ago felt that
the question was settled September
II, 1911, and that it was not right
to bring it forward again, conse-
quently they voted against it. The
question was not referred to COM
mittees as usual, but was discussed
in committee of the whole in both
House and Senate. The usual TRADE
against prohibition was presented by
advocates of the local option bill
Strong, able and sane addresses were
made by the upholders of prohibit
ton. Concerning the local option
measure, a prominent representative
during his speech said 1T was q
: mess of political pottage, upheld by
the blind tigers of Maine, garnished
by the gambling dens and made red
by the houses of shame" Those who
are working to overthrow Maine pro
hibition are crestfallen. and it is ex
pected the Legislature, will adjourn
as quickly as it can legally do SO
The. prohibitionists are juIbilant be
cause of this decided victory over al
effort to repeal or weaken the Maine
prohibitory law.
