DR.. VAUGHN NAMES
UNFIT TO MARRY
Talks to Legislators in Lansing
On Eugenics and Race
Betterment
From Q SION Correspondent.

LANSING. Mich, Jan. 23.-"In'
sanity. criminality. disease, epilepsy
and alcoholism should be absolute
bars 10 parenthood." said Or. V, c.
Vaughn, OF the department OF medi-
cine OF the University OF Michigan,
TO members OF the legislature and
visitors IN Representative hall last
night.
Speaking on "Eugenics -and-race
bettermenl, Dr. Vaughn represented
1t as the duty OF the state 10 prevent
the reproduction OF the unfit. He
condemned both in breeding and In
terracial marriages, saying OF the lat.
ter that they bring out only the worst
traits OF both parents
The daughters of the rich in this
country are indeed unfortunate" he
said They have been raised in such
luxury that no normal self-respecting
American young man would think OF
marrying them, so the poor creatures
can look forward only TO having fool
for a husband, whether he be q
foreigner with title or plain home
grown fool without one.
The persons who determined our
traits OF character lived long ago. We
likewise are setting the mould for
generations yet TO come. Each devi-
alton OF ours from the pa1 OF recti-
tude will make II harder for those
who come after to keep TO the
straight and narrow way OF healthy
living. We should remember always
that like be gets like with the pos
sibility OF deterioration or improve
ment He who so acts that his de
pendants will be better men is a CO
worker with the Creator.
I 1.-The superman TO come through
the Improvement OF the race is not
one Of bigger frame and bulkiel
muscle, but one with more highly
developed nervous system"
To work out the problems he pre-
sented, DIR. Vaughn asserted that the
state would have to furnish medica
advice. that the work Of the physician
was the states work. In speaking o
tile elimination OF crime. he pointed
out The necessity OF determining wha
crime Is by saying. AT present, th'
mother who takes a loaf OF bread L
keep herself from starving or picks
up some coal to keep her children
from freezing, is thief and un
doubtedly will be convicted as such
But the stock manipulation who steals
a railroad Is a great inancier."
