CONGRESS TOO BUSY TO
PLAN NEW DEPARTMENT

Washington, May 23.-Congress is
too busy with tariff and currency re-

ur dertake to draft bill for the estab-
lishment of the new department in the
hope that the attention of congress ca
be secured if a detailed plan is laid
before Ii.

BACKBONE DOES THINGS.

There is a wise little advertis- ing editorial in the "Gem City, ' of Fort Madison, Iowa. It tells why backbone beats wishbone. It says:
 "The trouble with most fellers is that their backbone is mostly all wishbOne. You wish you could succeed in business. You wish you could do as we'll as your neighbOr who does succeed. You are overworking your wishbonr. Give it a rest: it's tired. Your backbone needs exercise. Us backbone that does things--not wishbOne. Marshall Field had competition but his backbone gave him nerve to advertise big in newspapers when advertising was not known to be a necessity of business life as it is now univcr- sally recognized. John Wana- maker had the same sort of back bone. Their backbone backed un their wishbone. Backbone builds business by booming business. Business is boosted by backbone,

The Mistakes of Life.

Life is spent in learning how to live. Mistakes are inevitable. If they were not, there would be no growth, no conquest, no new wisdom. The best man is not he who never makes mistakes, but he who never permits them to daunt him, who accepts no failure as final, who rises wiser every time he falls, who has ever the souls fine courage to begin anew.

TUURSDAN. FEBRUARY 20. 1915
THE WEAK ARE A BURDEN.

The great Eugcnic Congress which was recently held in Ion- don has had the desired effect or arousing public opinion and ln- trrest in one of the most import ant subjects affecting the well De- ing of both men and animals. And those who were unable to at tend the meetings of the congress will do we'll to read the address cS and discussions when were made and contributed to by some of the most learned scientists and thinkers of all countries.
 Nothing but benefit can result from the careful perusal of the researches which Eugenists have been making for many years. and which almost for the. first time afford the general public the op- portunity of acquiring knowledge of the value of the study of what is known now that the result of their protracted studies has been the light of day, is the "better- nlent of the race,' and one of the most powerful arguments they use for the justification of their aims is the example they say is set by breeders of animals.
 They point out--and with a great deal of truth--that you do not find men breeding horses, cattle, sheep and other animals in a reckless and haphazard fash ion, paying no attention to the se- lection of parents. On the con- trary, the EugeniSts say that in many, if rot all, instances, great care is taken so to select par ents that the offspring may be of the highest possible type. Such selected and perfectly bred ami mals command high price mere ly because they have been so bred. Why, therefore. should we not try to prevent or at least discourage the marriage of human beings WHO are lnt11lStl\rS, III LOO Iildlly instances, the worst types of the race, and whose descendants. by virtue of inherited tendencies, weakness of resistance, and heightened susccptibilitieS, are almost unified to survive through life except by the help and assist ance of the more fortunate and fit, or, tO put it more correctly, the better bred. Without any Se- lection of the race producers so many bad types are constantly being born that the strong have to bear the burdens of the weak, and as the unfit are produced each year in increasing numbers, not only does the burden of the strong become heavier, but the world is ,peopled by more and more interiors. of course, such remarks as these touch only the fringe of one of tn" most inn portant problems of the day, and are written merely with view to awakening the interest of lovers of dogs to the far more import ant subject of the propagation of the race.--Ex.
