CHICAGO. Dec. 19.-Graduates Of

OF the assertion of Bird s. Coler, for
mer controller Of New York city, that
the race would die out within l5O
years II graduates Of Bryn Mawr and
other fashionable girls schools were
depended upon to produce future In

Coler made this statement in the
course OF sizzling attack upon Gu

spread OF Cocialistic doctrines In the
public schools. before the Industrial
club. last night. He used Bryn Mawr
college az an illustration.
"In Bryn Mawr eugenics has been
taught for Is years." he said, "and
among the graduates OF that school
there has been but one, birth In three
families. Notwithstanding that. they
try to raise a superwoman by dancing
on the grass In bare feet, and other
foolish fads. No race can exist with
the doctrine of eugenics. unless i'm.

fcient way. Indeed, our whole system of schooling would. have to be reformed; it's main aim would have to be changed; it's
 method, it's teaching force, its ideas, and ideals would have sub stantially to be revolutionized. An adequate and elastic system would have to be developed and organized for the intimate CO., operation of the schools and the business interests of the coun- try, or of any state adopting the minimum wage. There could be retained of the present schooling only so much as is indispensable to industrial training, for the task of fitting the grdat body of children for earning their own support would be dominating and imperative. It would be a trc- mendous task, beset with diff culties and exposed to great mis- takes, but it would have to be taken up. No minimum wage law could be enforced without incal- culable damage to the commun- ity unless industrial training to fit the mass of workers to earn that wage were established and developed.
 These are facts involved in the new movement which must be faced and worked out. They seem to demand at least the post ponement of legislation until some means of meeting them has been devised, including and based upon education.-New York Times.

AID FOR DELEGATE.

The delegate came from Wash ingtOn to Juneau to tell the mem- bers of the legislature what to do and how to do it, and now the Senate has passed d motion to send four members to Washing ton to tell the delegate what to do and how it should be done. The motion was defeated in the House.
 While the PrOspector is sure the delegate would welcome any aid the members might be able to give him, yet it would only make for more confusion and dis cord, and therefore it was the wisest thing to defeat the bill. Of course it may have been merely an attempt to teach the delegate his place.

In New Richland County Scheme
Selfish Interests Only,
Prompts Promoters

In commenting on the subject of
county division as outlined by Mr.. E.
l.. Fisher, who is opposing the
division of Dawson county at this time
for various reasons and on its merits
as it stands today, we notice that some
of the lower Yellowstone Valley
papers are very sarcastic and
insinuating toward Mr.. Fisher; and
in order to still more agitate their
scheme, they have used every effort to
wipe him off the map and to discredit
him.
The Monitor wishes to tell its
readers, whom we know to be fair
minded people, that in Mr.. Fisher We
find a man who does not undertake any
thing he cannot accomplish and we
believe that, with his ambition and
ability, there is no question but that
the people within the boundary OF the
proposed Richland County, will be
fully enlightened on the misleading
statements and false promises of the
county divisionists.
We regard Mr.. Fisher as man OF
splendid reputation and ability; man
who knows what he is talking about /;
man of progress and principles; and
we believe that he will not fail to live
| up to his promises and pledges.
His holdings in Dawson County,
as far as we know, consist of an SOC
acre ranch; some town property in
Wibaux and others but above every
thing he has reputation as one OF the
hest mason contractors in this part OF
the country. We therefore fail to see
why the Sidney papers should mis-
represent him to their readers as they
have done, and without a single
iustifiable cause
We are of the opinion that to boos'
their county scheme Sidney has usef
their weapons upon the wrong man, Tor
there are other Fishers in that very
neighhorhood, and they may nave
gotten their dates mixed.
| AS far as the Glendive people are
concerned, there has never been an.
promises made to either Mr.. Fisher OF
ANYBODY else, of any financial support
in opposing county division; they q
not propose, however, to allow the lev
to enrich themselves at the expense o

Religious Census To Date

The religious census taken last week
was quite satisfactory in that it gave
to the ministers of the different
churches a better knowledge OF the re-
ligious desires of the people of Glen
dive. But it was necessarily incomplete
so that it is impossible to Judge the:
population by the number of people
canvassed. But it gives the proportio-
nal strength of the different churches.
When the cards were counted it was
found that the Roman Catholic Church
had l4l cards, the M. E. church l26,
the Congregational church Is, the
Luthern church, 70, and the Episcopal
ian church AZ. There wert thirty cards
on which no preference for any local
church was given. The cards represent
families, or individuals not connected
with families, in this city. But since
the persons not at home, and there
were a good many of them, were not
secured, it may easily be seen that
this does not represent all the people
connected with the churches of the
city. Only approximately 1000 people
are given on the record of this census.
