CHEERS FOR MISS
SUNDERLAND, TOO.

Just then Miss Kate Il. Sunderland.
seventy-four years old, Of Los Angeles.
Cal, who had sent "A handkerchief to
Roosevelt, came forward and with the
assistance Of a policeman and two news
paper men was helped on the platform
Roosevelt greeted her with character
istic handshake and the crowd cut loose
again.
Meyer Lissner OF California carried the
big bear pole OF California upon the
stage and then a regular procession OF
women, all of whom were greeted with
a typical Roosevelt handshake which
added to the enthusiasm.
Mrs. W. A. Davis. the Chicago woman
who started the Rooscvelt-IIadlcy
demonstration at the Republican Con-
vention, was escorted to the front If
the balcony railing behind the stage by
Meyer Lissner, and the California totem
pole. She waved a bandanna and Roose-
Welt responded by giving her the rail-
road hgn sign" with his bandanna.
Mrs. Davis responded and. escorted by
Senator Dixon. came over to the
Speakers stand and received a Roose-
Welt handshake.
At intervals the delegates sang this
version of an old time hymn:
Follow, follow
We will follow Roosevelt.
Anywhere. everywhere.
We will follow on.
Follow. follow.
We will follow Roosevelt
Anywhere he leads us
We VIII follow him."
After nifty minutes the Texas. Mary
land and Indiana delegations discovered
Mrs. Roosevelt in the gallery box at the
left OF the hall and faced away from
the Colonel and toward her waving :
storm of red 'kerchiefs high over their
heads. Mrs. Roosevelt Is the quietest

ROOSEVELT HELPS ALONG THE
CHEERING.

The man with the blank cartridge re-

ilut,ered both hands in the direction OF
every renewal Of the cheering. Right
back at him came more and more cheers
and the whooping ''Mo-o-o-o-o"'
1t changed to the Battle Hymn Of the
Republic and to John Browns Body
from time to time. After the racket had
been going for twenty minutes, getting
noisier all the time. tho Colonel snatched
a bandanna from Senator Beveridge and
waved 1t over his head. The band
started Onward Christian Soldier"
I. r. marked time with his bandanna.
Thousands OF red 'kerchiefs over the
hall and galleries waved in unison with
his. Two boy scouts bearing United
States fags three tines as tall as them
selves came from somewhere and waved
the standards behind the Colonel.
After half an hour the bands were
practically eliminated. The conven-
ton was all heated through and didn't
need and help to bridge over intervals
which threatened silence. Now and
then the throbbing of the bass drum
or the carck of the revolver could be
heard. but more often the red flare of
each shot as fired was all that told of
the gunners activities.
A gentleman with a tattered black
hat suspended in a barrel hoop got to
the platform Just as Ir. Beveridge
began to call for order in the thirtieth
minute. His blows of the gavel were
consequently wasted. More Onward

REMOVAL OF LIBRARY
 WILL HURT BUSINESS
 WRITES "0BSERVER'

Editor The Farmer. Sir:
 Kindly call the attention of the Bridgeport Business Mems AssC ciation and Board of Trade to the following important fact regarding the library.
 In all of the letters to the local press protesting against the sale of the H- brary, there is one fact which has not met with attention. This fact should interest every business man who has store or office down town. Con- trary to the person who said people only visited the library when on a shopping trip, let me say that there are hundreds of people who go to Main street just for the one errand. that of getting a book from the li- brary.
 Now these people do not intend to make any purchases whatsoever when they leave home, but when they get on Main street, look into the store windows and see the many pretty things displayed, they are sure to rest their eyes upon at least one article that they must have. They enter the stores to see the new goods and nine times out of ten, they. do not leave before several purchases have been made.
 If the Business Men and Board of Trade want to better the city in a commercial way, help it's members to trade and attract the public to the shopping district, these able and efn- cient bodies will join with the Bridge port public and make a big protest to the sale of the property on which the Burroughs Public Library stands. Should these bodies not make a pro- test, every business man on Main St. should protest personally and start a big petition.
 Should the library be moved. many merchants will notice a difference in their daily cash receipts. For in stance, since the Park Theatre has discontinued giving big attractions ev- cry day, certain stores have undoubt- edly noticed a difference in their pa tronage, especially the soda water fountains, ice cream parlors and can dy stores where theatre crowds al- ways go after the performance. The same will be the case on Fairfield Avenue, when Polls is moved to his new Main Street theatre.
 This fact is one of many great ob- jections, why the library should stay The writer knows at least fifteen or twenty of his friends who greatly dis favor the proposed sale. If the writer knows so many people who object, think of the thousands of protesting friends the readers of this letter, may know. Let every person speak out his or her protest
 We trust that every merchant who does not want his patronage decreas- ed will consider the above facts and make his protest immediately, and not wait for the other fellow to speak first, for it might prove to be re- grettable fact if every one is afraid to npcEpUEP

 And so this victory will be felt wherever a spindle is turned on this planet.
 Working men and women every where will profit as result of the sacrifices and struggles of the Law renee operatives, and most of all will they benefit from the fact driven home driven in tears and blood into their pinched, starved minds-that the pro. position which the father demonstrat- ed to his quarreling sons 2,500 years ago, in that fable of Aesop is as true now as it was then. One fagot was broken like a reed but a bundle bound together resisted all attempts to break them.

the very simple operation of vasec- tony in the male, and either corpho- rectOmy or ligation in the female.
 Dr. H. c. Sharpe of Indianapolis, Ind, is the originator, so far as I know of the operation of vasectomy.
 He says, '.Since October 1899, I have been performing an operation known as vasectomy.
 '.I have been doing this operation for over nine years. I have 456 cases that have afforded splendid opportun- ity for post-operative observation, and I have never seen any unfavorable symptoms. The patient evinces hs more sunny disposition, brighter of in- tellect and advises his fellows to sub init to the operation for their own good.''
 And here is the point in which this method of prevention is so infin posed-that it is endorsed by the per- sons subjected to it. All the other methods place restrictions, and there this treatment absolutely does not. tinue to permit confirmed criminals, degenerates, and the insane to increase, it is because we lack intelligence and "gumption'' to prevent it.
 We have a feasible, painless, satis- factory remedy. Let us cast aside pseudo-sentimen and half-hearted palliative measures, and put, this rad ical cure for degeneracy into universal operation

CONSUMERS PAY THE BILLS

per yard in the last ten days, and mill agents predict the increase will reach two cents a yard.
 This will make a difference of five cents in an apron, and 25 cents in the housewife's dress. Mems clothing is going up, and women's and chil- dren's dress goods are declared to be the next in line. The increases, it is estimated, will bring approximately SIP, 100000 into the coffers of the woolen trust within a year. Thus an accommodating public will bear the cost of the strike and the increases in wages.
 The men who work such games on both public and employees are but a handful In number. They are just a few rich men who own or control the majority of the stock of the ,woolen trust. It is practically these few men and they alone, who are the bene- ficiaries of Schedule K.
 Again the query: How long are 92,00O,000 American citizens going to stand for a wool tariff which taxes them outrageously on every stitch of clothing they use in order that few greedy woolen trust magnates may be still further enriched?

THE WORLD IS GETTING BETTER

change has come over the spirit of his dream. He has become conscious
 He is beginning to realize that, after all, he is his brothers keeper, and upon the maintenance of a civilized standard of life for his brother, de- bends his own standard of living.
 This has never been more beauti- fully demonstrated than during the recent strike in Lawrence, Mass, where clerks, artizans, laborers, and all branches of skill and unskilled workmen united in pouring financial assistance into that city of slaves and underlings. The winning of that strike-mean and sordid as is the pittance gained thereby-works an epochal advance in the status of the textile workers, not only of Lawrence, and Massachusetts, but of the world. As an illustration, this news item dated March 18th is self explanatory
 'The Renfrew Manufacturing Com pany, advanced wages 1O9o in it's three cotton mills today. The increase eff fects 1,200 operatives. Announce ments were made tonight of a 5% advance in wages in the four mills of a Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company and in the plant of Plunket
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-29

The rate of speed at which an army can advance is regulated by the rate of progression of its slowest member.
 The rate of wage, and the standard of living of the working class, is regulated by the amount of hono~ar- ium donated to them, plus their cul- tivated ability to continue to produce wealth on the smallest possible con- sumption of proteids, carbohydrates, and hydro-carbons. This is our equa- tion.
 Now, the concern of one is the con- cern of all. and nowhere is this more patent and obvious than in the con- sideration and the problem of getting a living.
 Until very recently, a working man & be all and end all on this bank and shore of time was to see that his family and himself had as many of the necessities of life as he could wrest from his lot and circumstance.
 As to what the fellow in an adjoin- ing state received for like work, he didn't care a rap.
 Every one for himself and the Devil take the hindmost" was em- blazoned on his 'Scutcheon.

Anyone who thinks those million aire woolen trust magnates at Law renee, Mass, are increasing the sal aries of their men, women and chill dren mill workers out of the gener- osity of their hearts-and out of their own pocketbooks-is mistaken. They are making the American people pay not only the amount of the increased wages. but every penny of the ex- pense of the long strike.
 "The people sympathized with the strikers" is the slogan of the mill owners, "now let them shoulder the expense"
 Before any wages were increased, the woolen trust magnates. who have been making profits of from 6 to 75 per cent on their investment, decid- ed to advance. the cost of clothing. And as a matter of fact, the ronsum- CTS began to actually pay increased prices for woolens and cottons in an- ticipation of the increased wages to be paid by the woolen trust, before the announcement of the increased wages was made

A CHANGE FOR BRIDGEPORT

VI The State Commission on Industrial Insurance has decided to visit Bridge bort before concluding its hearings, to give the people of this city an op- portunity to express themselves upon .the most important questions being considered by the commission. The committee especially desires hdvice and information upon the fol- lowing points:
 The Committee is desirous of hear 3ng from all persons who, by virtue of their occupation, special interest or Knowledge, may be able to throw light upon the subject
 Certain Fundamental questions arise 10 which we desire to direct special attention, among which are the fol- lowing:
 l. Is any legislation desirable in this state on the subject of workman's s compensation.
 2. If so, shall the act affect dan- gerous occupations only?
 3. If not, shall it affect all classes. including agricultural laborers and domestic servants?

Segregation vs Sterilization
 Of Detectives

We are rapidly coming to realize that our poor houses, asylums, and peni- tentiar1es are recruited from the de- fectlve class. AlienistS recognize dn- herited defects eliminating in insan- lty, epilepsy and various forms of de- generacy.
 The Survey says Every hamlet, ev- cry village, every town, and every city has its quota of people popularly re- ferred to as Foolish Silly Not all there,' or lacking in the upper story {" Heretofore they have been thought to be objects of special visitations of Providence, accepted as burdens by their relatives and nuisances by the community. Until recently, largely because idiocy and degeneracy are not contagious and because we did not know that breeding spots of uncon- trolled animalism were growing up through public negligence to menace our civilization, society has failed to take steps to guard the rights of chil- dren to be we'll born.
 After discussing the "Jukes''I and enumerating several other families which have contributed more than their share of scum and riff-raff to the turbid stream of humanity, the Survey says. Would you rouse your self if you learned there were ten ca ses of bubonic plague at a point not POO miles away? Is not a breeding g spot of uncontrolled animalism as much of menace to our civilization.'' .''
 The Editors Panacea.
 And then, as a panacea for the relief of this deplorable state, the editor in- sists that our greatest need is for a substantial increaserin the number of institutions for the care of criminals working day and night and wasting millions of dollars in building new asy- lums and jails.
 MT. Devine contends that Biology and Economics unite in demanding that the strains of ble-mindedness shall be eliminated by the humane seg- regation of the mentally defective.
 Dr. Henry H. Goddard offers the suggestion that the degenerates be col onized in groups where they may be perfectly happy and somewhat use- ful' Only one limitation need be placed upon them in these places, and that is that they must never become parents.
 For many years, segregation has been advocated and practised with some small degree of success, but it is obvious that the penalty is out of all proportion to the crime. AS Omar says:
 What. from this helpless creature be repaid
 Pure gold for what he lent him, dross allayed
 Sue for a debt he never did contract, and cannot answer
 Oh, the sorry trade.'
 Unless incarcerated for life-a sen- tence more drastic then we are jus tified in inf1icting upon those who may be-aside from their potential parent hood-valuable members of the com munity, the undesirables continue to perpetuate their kind. If forbidden mar rage as they are in many states, they continue to breed-the only difference being that now illigitimacy is added O degeneracy.
 Why Not Quit Temporizing and Ex- perimenting! There is a remedy, an absolutely safe, certain remedy. It consists in
