THERE is a certain quality in
each of us, a quite normal
and natural human quality,
which makes.us rejoice exceeding
ly when we are proved to be
right in any forecast of events.
Perhaps this quality may be
called vanity, but it is an excusa-
BILE vanity, as indeed many phases
of vanity are excusable.
The egotistical and conceited
human being is insufferable; he
is a misfortune to himself, be-
cause he is so certain of his supe
riority over his fellows that he
makes no least effort to improve.
But the being possessing van
ity is always on the alert to do
better and better; to keep up with
the times, to be alert, to be proven
right. Therefore, if it be vanity
which prompts these words, let be.
Ten years ago, published the
following:
n ONE months ago received a
y letter from that good wom-
Emma Sickles, in which she
said:
1T is to be hoped that the day
is not far distant when men see
1t is a far more serious thing to
bring life into human existence,
Of suffering or degradation, than
it is to end the earthly existence
Of that life, and that they are
quite as responsible to God and
to society for the lives they bring
into being as they are for the lives
they murder"
That day is not as near as Miss
Sickles hopes, yet such day must
come.

world are going to see how neces-
sary it is to control the conditions
under which children are propa-
gated and reared.
Science will establish laws and
parents will abide by them. No
criminal, no diseased person, no
drunkard. will be allowed to pro-
duce his kind.
Before a marriage license can
be procured, in that day to come
a committee will investigate the
conditions and decide whether
the parties are pro~or people to
become parents. This will lead
to the preparation of men and
women for marriage anG parent
hood-the most important occu-
patton of life.
Women Will Be Guarded.
Women will be guarded and
protected before the birth of
children and taught the wonder
full import of parental influence.
Men will lift their hats to an
expectant mother, and the child
will be welcomed with rejoicing
and reared as carefully as he was
born.
This was done in the days of
old Greece, but woman was not
allowed the intellectual freedom
which is hers to-day. and the
world was more cruel and pos
sessed less scientific knowledge.
In the next 100 years Science
is to make marvellous. religious
truths, only known now to the
few enlightened minds, universal
facts, and that win help men and
women to go about the propaga-
ton of a higher order of human
beings with reverence and pa
thence.
The time will come when it will
seem a matter Of surprise to the
denizens of the earth that dis
eased and vicious people were
ever allowed to produce offspring.
Meantime, let mothers remember
how much they can do to- day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
unborn child they are molding.
And let them think before they
become wives of the manner of
men they are choosing for the fa-
theirs of their children.
Every well-born child which
comes into the world to-day will
help along that time of which
Miss Sickles writes-the time still
far away; but coming nearer and
nearer, when men and women
shall realize what it means to
populate the earth.
GO great an advance alons
these new paths has prog
ress made in a decade that
it seems interesting to reprint
the prophecy.
Since the above article waG
written the Society of Eugenics
has been formed and an interna-
tional congress has been held.
Interest in Eugenics.
A general agitation of the sub
ject of sex hygiene has occurred.
Every intelligent man and wom-
an, who is not absolutely self
bound is interested in these pro-
gressive ideas, and the law has
been passed in four Cpossibly
more) of the States making it
permissible for chronically in
sane, criminal and diseased men
to be sterilized and prevented
from perpetuating their ills. And
in Indiana alone more than 500
such cases have been operated
upon.
Surely the dream of Miss
Sickles is coming true.

TN a recent divorce case It was
shown that the real cause OF
the wife's dissatisfaction with
her husband was because he was
not able to maintain the grand

The wife had been a poor girl,
a stenographer, who married a
middle-aged merchant or moder-
ate means He took her for their
honeymoon to Palm Beach and
other fashionable resorts, and
dazzled by the magnincence Of
the hotels at which they stopped,
she expected the same luxury
ever afterward. The husband
couldn't afford this, and when
called upon to settle down into
a very modest city fiat the wife
became peevish. and fretful, and
disgruntled and considered her
self so III used that she finally
took her troubles to the divorce
court
This is a sad tale. mates. Let
it be warning to every young
man who is contemplating mat
rimony and who is figuring out
where he shah go with his bride
on their honeymoon.

Don't take her to a place where
she will establish a millionaire
