nEnasnios as a Preventive

Or. Martin w. Barr, of the Pennsyl,
vania Training School for Feeble Minded
Children at Elwyn, boldly went To the
root of the problems which the new
science of eugenics seeks to solve when
in his paper read on Monday at the CON
yention in this city of the state difec-
tors of the poor and charlues ne stateu
that the survival of the httest never
can be attained if no restriction is placed
upon the propagation of the unht.
He pointed out that the 5partans oil
old had solved the problem OF pfeNeh-
ton of poverty, disease, defect, crime,
insanity and imbecility by allowing their
weaklings to perish, on the principle that
the welfare of the individual must DE
subordinated To the welfare of the race.
Modern science has taught us that the
two are not incompatible if the WeakgnS
is prevented omsguansnhttiss ms De
fects to future generations
II is doubtful if society is ready yet
lfor such radicAfcontrol of the defective
as Or. Barr sugEeEts. ISn ft9 gruI,ors
lance of prevention as tie~f .&& H AceFe
In dealing with all manner ofSpsoplems
affecting the complicated life OF To-Day
is being more and more realized ana
whether it bears upon accidents or upon
the bodily welfare of the race 1t is com
ing to play a greater and greater part
recognized today that crime may be as
often the result OF physical as OF moral
defects and it is natural step from
contagious diseases to the isolation OF
sibe to the unborn.
This whole subject of eugenics is one
to be treated in the most careful man
ner. But it offers, when thus treated,
the hope that more of the ills which flesh
is heir to may be prevented as well as
cured when prevention has failed,-Phii-
adelphia Press

The state of Kansas went about Sc
curing the benefits of "eugenics' in
wholly different, strikingly common
sense and famously effective manner.
In 80 years it has solved the problem
Of eugenics. and in the last five it has
been reaping the benefits more and
more. Its occasions for interfering
with the God given right of personal
of physical and soul mates
are few and daily growing farther
apart.

Civil engineers are going to be in de-
mand. The recent act of the congress
authorizing the valuation of railways
opens up a work so large that probably
about 1900 engineers will be needed to fill
positions ranging from those of minor
character in field parties to the RESPONSE
bic work IN charge of divisions All the
positions are to be filled through civil
service examinations. The salaries paid
for this work will probably be at least
AS high as those paid by the railroad
companies for similar work.

Uncle John Bowden, who was the
game warden at the Union station last
year, was in Bangor, Wednesday noon,
accompanying shipment of $4,000
salmon fry at HARDWOOD pond. near
Machias. Uncle John was cordially
greeted by his Bangor friends, and en-
joyed his short stay here. They tell n
story about Uncle John Bowden that
reflects credit upon his skill and BRAY
cry. One summer morning a couple of
months ago, at about 4 o'clock, he was
returning from an all night expedition
in the woods, in the town of Otis, on
the search for hunters who might be
out lacking" deer, and other poach-
ers Coming along to Brimmer bridge
what did the veteran game warden
meet, but big bull moose, weighing
say about 600 pounds. The moose
peered curiously at the stranger, and
didn't seem the least afraid, in fact,
he appeared just little bit threat
ening. To hasten back in precipitate
flight would mean chase by the
moose in all probability, the thought
flashed through Uncle Johns brain,
ana ne ueClueu To tdhc d SiidhNS'
Noticing that the mooses horns were
in velvet, and remembering that they
are very sensitive, Uncle John decided
to make that portion of the moose his
attacking point. He grabbed the
moose by the soft and tender horns
and as it was near the edge of the
bridge, which was only rustic affair
it happened that the NOSE lost his
foothold on one side. With this tenn
porary advantage, Uncle John took a
decided brace and with terrific
wrench, gave the moose push over
board into the stream. He did not
stop to lok more than once, seeing the
animal foundering about in the Wa
| ter, and then fled. The moose did not
| follow him. No real Progressive would
| do that.

Saved by a hair or more properly
speaking saved by number of hairs,
in fact saved by a mustaehe. That is
what happened to a newspaper re-
porter during court trial at Free
port this week when the complainant
was asked by the court if he could
pick out the man who had robbed
him of SIS at the New Gloucester fair.
After looking over the prisoners, two
in number, his eye lit on the reporter
sitting close by them and laying a
hand on him said, Il should think it
was this man only for his mustache.
1t produced laugh and Lawyer Ber-
man asked him if he didn't think the
mustache was pasted on. But the wit
ness shook his head.

Interest centers just now in the new
portrait of Gen. Joshua L. Chamber
lain of Brunswick, which is soon to
be exhibited to the public at the Sweat
Memorial building in Portland. The
picture, handsomely framed, is al
ready in that spot, but awaits the
opening of the exhibition to be made
by the artists, Robert V. V. Sewall
and Mrs. Sewall. The portrait of Gen.
Chamberlain is by the latter and was
painted by her while at Monhegan this
summer. The walls of this art muse
um already display some notable work
by both, as for instance, Mr.. Sewalfs
Passing of King Arthur based on
Tennyson's poem; and also his large
and deliberately composed canvas,
THE Soul Seeks Love Beyond the
Waters of the Dark River" The lat
ter is of special interest to friends of
the artist because he has copied the
fashion of some of the old masters in
putting in one of the minor groups
portrait studies of himself and of Mrs.
Walker and their child.

IS THE ISSUE" DEAD9

Quite an issue seems to have
been raised as to whether or not
the Tissue" Is dead. Its erstWbiIe
political cOngener The Columbus
Dispatch, holds an autopsy over
it, pronOunces at defunct and
~eulogizes its early'career as fellows:
"REoUIEsCAT
The Issue is dead. After a ca
reer even more stormy and tenn.
pestuous than it had under Varda
man, it has finally ceased to live.
1t ended with the last expiring
kick last week when it was an.
nounced that a stock company was
to be organized to buy new ma
chinery for the paper and to get
it on a better basis. No doubt a
few designing and aspiring politi.
clans who had profited by it in
the past came across literally as
an encouragement for others, but
there we're not enough candidates
for the senate and governOrship to
keep it going and The Issue is
dead.
The Issue ought to have died.
There was nothing for it to live
for. 1t really died when Jas. X.
Vardaman surrendered it's editori-
al control. 1t gave him a hearing
in the state, it gave him an oppor,
tunity to answer his enemies and
criticism in a bitter political cam
paign and after his victory there
were no more critics to answer and
its mission was gone. For it to
have continued would mean a con-
tinuation of the partisan bitter
ness and strife from which the
state has suffered in the past and
from this every patriotic citizen
shrinks. 1t is well that it is gone,
for it was born of conditions which
have passed and as a product of
those conditions it is fitting that
it should 60 with them.
Requiescat."
However there comes a very loud
and characteristic protest from
the corpse. 1t claims still to be a
''bullwark at the gates of Arma-
g%cddon-as it was in the under.
minding and mudslinging cam.
of 1911" Its spelling and
grammar may not be so good but
its temper is just as bad as in 1911.
This new journal may be a mere
pretender but there is a trick of
the neither lip that warrants it's
identity.
1t is Bilbo's greatness and Bill.

1913.

The BEACON wishes a happy and
prosperous New Year to all its
readers. This is no mere saluta-
ton but an honest heartfelt wish.
1913 holds out the promise OF
much that is desirable. A few
weeks will see a democrat and
southerner inaugurated President
of the United States, the second
democrat since 1857 and the first
s%outherner in that exalted place
since 1S49 when Zachary Taylor
was elected.
Judging by the first day of this
glad new year the weather is going
to be very fine in 1913. The sun
will shine brightly and there will
be plenty of moisture in the
ground. Before the year is out
two mules will haul six bales of
cotton to Macon in one load any
day in the year, and people will
be able to get to the depot whether
1t Is raining or not.
1913 starts out all right for
those brave enough to hope for the
best,
