"EUGENICS AND WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE"

Mrs John Martin, of New York,
says:
"The future should lie in ladies
laps. So long as the ladies are in
counting. houses, factory and polling
booth, the laps are empty and the
future in danger.
Woman suffrage is merely an ap-
pendage to woman industry; and
woman industry means the destruc-
ton of the race. AS the strongest
and most efficient women go to sal
ary earning in place of child rearing
the generations decay. Every inde-
pendent woman who takes a high
salary as a substitute for bevy of
babies is numbering posterity.

tomobiles. The cradle Is emptied

filled, the home deserted that luXur-

mestic morality. High salaries for
women mean deferred marriages,

taches inordinate Importance to the
improvement of conditions, although
the farmer knows very well that sue
cess in his line depends just as much
upon the quality of his seed and the
grade of his stock as upon the culti-
vation he gives them. Yet in human
affairs we always assume that the
human stock itself is perfect. 1t
seems undemocratic and impolite not
to believe so. 1t seems uncivil to tell
people that their children are not
worth raising, that they are not
worth educating, that they ought
never to have been born.
"If we tell them that if they have
any more children like that, they de-
serve hanging, we feel that they
won't love us any more. We never
think of doing anything so rude. On
the contrary, we organize few more
classes for detectives and build a
few more asylums.
Without eugenics the nation will
one day, like the Titanic, go to the
bottom. We may f1atter ourselves
that the biggest, fastest, richest,
grandest nation afloat cannot sink,
but it can"

HAD NO TIME FOR SUMMING
After Answering Impertinent and su.
percilous Questions Hostess
Hands London Lady a Jolt.

The Rev. Sylvester Horne, the noted
liberal clergyman and member of par
lament of London, was talking at
dinner about charity.
"The trouble with most charity" he
said, ''is that 1t is administered in
grudging, condescending spirit. Char
ity, to have any effect, must be ad-
ministered in spirit of absolute SYM
pathy-a spirit, may also say, of alb
solute humility, TO uplift, get under
neath,' as the philosophic Ade well
said. J.
There was once London lady, TIE
wife of millionaire promoter, who
decided, being rather bored, to go in
for charity. So she rang for her cleo
trio brougham and glided in a luxur-
tous silence down to the New Cut.
"The lady selected the very worst
house In the New Cut, and she paid a
call of about half an hour on the poor,
tired, underfed woman who lived
there The questions she asked this
woman were supercilious and imperti-
nent. The lady had very good time
But when she came to go, her hos
tess, whose cheeks were now un-
wontedly red, rather spoiled her good
time by saying quietly:
"Well, goodbye, madam. don't
suppose I'll see you again. The fact
is, haven't time to go Summing mys

Farmers are lined up against
those who voted for reciprocity or
those who advocated free trade on
farm products while high tariff was
left ON other industries. Teddy has
tried to fool the farmers by saying
that Taft was against them and
wanted to ruin farm product prices
by getting reciprocity, which means
free trade. Taft comes back at
Teddy with knockout blow by pub
fishing confidential letter which
Teddy wrote to President Taft urg-
ing him to secure reciprocity II at all
possible. Roosevelts name is signed
to this letter. Taft was compelled
TO make IL public because of Teddy'f
dishonest statements.

cense on automobiles thus far this
year is $199, ,OO5.72, which goes into
the good roads fund. Notwithstand-
ing this magnificent sum paid by
auto owners, there are still a few
farmers who think the auto has no

Every citizen can do his share
towards putting his town upon the
map or in putting it upon the shelf.
That SO many towns are vegetat-
ing or dead, is because SO many of
their, people talked them down or
refused to help them when oppor-
tunities offer. If every citizen would
consider himself an advertising
agent to boom his town and in every
way advance its interests, the growth
would be healthy and sure.

Clark Changes Plea

When court opened District Attorney Miller addressed Federal Judge Ander- son, saying:
 If it pleases the court, Defendant Clark of Cincinnati wishes to change his plea from Not guilty to Guilty.
 Clark then stepped forward.
 Do you plead guilty?' the judge asked.
 Yes
 Clark was then separated from the other 45 defendants and taken to jail. There he will await the imposing of sen tence. Clark pleaded guilty to all the charges, which include five counts of con- spiracy and 50 counts of being a prin- cipal to the actual illegal interstate ship ment of dynamite and nitroglycerin. Clark was business agent and president of Union A of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers from January, 1908. to July. 1911. His ac- tivities in promoting explosions, MT. Mill Ter pointed out, were carried on through letters written by Frank M. Ryan, pres ident of the union, and the. McNamara brothers. The initials 'E. e. found in the wreckage of a dynamited bridge at Dayton, O., MT. Miller said, led to the disclosure that Clark actually had caused the explosion, having used the umbrella to protect the dynamite from the rain. and then leaving it behind.
