EXPLAINS THINGS EUGENIST
WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH
Dean of Michigan Medical Dept. Says
Crime Is a Disease Due to Heredity.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 24.-ln re-
plying to the recent utterances of
Bishop E. d. Kelly of Detroit diocese
of the Catholic church, who declared
that "the religion that holds God as
the author of the human soul must
carry on warfare against so-called
science which, under the captious
terms of sterilization and sex-hy-
giene, interferes with mans natural
powers, contraVenes his God-given
free will and robs children of purity
and innocence Dean Vaughan of
the University of Michigan medical
department issued a statement ex-
planning the value of eugenics.
''The eugenist is trying to accom-
plish two things he said. ITO pre-
vent the multiplication of bad stock
by preventing the marriage and re-
production of the unfit and to en-
courage the replenishment of the
good.
Crime is a disease due to heredity,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-10-24

ent we permit it to breed and come
to maternity in our midst: Its breed
ing place should be located and dis
infected. No child should be born
into the world save from good stock.
By good stock" the eugenist means
one relatively free from undesirable
characters, the most important of
which are alcoholism, feeble minded
ness, epilepsy, insanity, pauperism
and criminality
The eugenist does not propose
that marriage selections shall be de-
termlned by statute, but it does pro-
pose to educate the young that selec-
tons shall be made on more rational
grounds than at present. The eugen-
list does not aim to degrade or abol-
ism the institution of marriage, but to
inculcate the idea that marriage is
the highest and hottest of institutions,
so high that he who dishonors it shall
be counted worse than an infidel.
The eugenist will endeavor to in
duce the state to aid in the evolution
of the superman by restricting the
production of the obviously undesir-
able. 1t is even now a crime by stat
ute in the State of Michigan for an
individual of one sex to infect one of
the other with Yenereal disease,
whether the relations between the
two be- that of husband and wife or
otherwise. However, such statute
is at present without other than edu-
cational value. Inasmuch as the pre-
vention of crime is much wiser than
permitting and then furnishing it, the
state will go further and demand that
marriage be permitted only to those
free from these diseases.
Already the sterilization of certain
classes under certain restrictions has
been legalized in eight states, and In
one the operation has been perform
ed on more than 700 individuals. The
state has right to protect its honest

Is a knockdown.

Is knockdowns
Shaughnessy is now busily engag-
ed in mastering his old machine, or
what's left of it, in another mighty
effort to control the election. He is
counting on the assistance of Simon
0'Donnell, president of the Building
Trades Council That gentleman is
having his own trouble explaining to
his constituents why he tied up with
Hearst.
The folly of the attack on Mclean
is now apparent. It only served to
gain more votes for him and his fell
low candidate, Joseph Fuchs, who is
opposing Shaughnessy for the presi-
deney. The expose of the plot to
blacklist Mclean proved another
boomerang. Members of the union
last night talked darkly of the effort
to keep Mclean from earning hv-
ing. Most of them were of the opin-
ion that the Shaughnessy bubble has
exploded.

EXPERT ON
WORK OF CENSOR
Says CensOring Should Be
Done Before the Pictures
Are Taken
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
He who believes that the moving picture
business in an unstable sort of profession
should visit Horace G. Plimpton. man
ager of the Edison Studio in Bedford
park, the Bronx. Mr.. Plimpton is i'm
bued with the same enthusiasm with
which all those connected with the NOV
ing picture game seem to be inspired.
While he believes that the moving pic
ture business has been unduly attacked
in times past, he still preserves Ju-
dcial attitude toward the bouncing in
FAINT industry, especially in so far as CEN
sorship affects it.
DO I believe in censorship queried
Mr.. Plimpton Certainly / do. But the
censorship which is imposed on films that
go out of this studio is done before the
first working scenario is outlined. There
is no use spending thousands of dollars
upon reel when it must be destroyed.
We believe in stopping the trouble at the
fountain head
I'VE accept no scenarios which have
for their subjects grewsome or morbid
themes. For instance, scenario came
in the other day which specified that the
so-called villain should die with q CHASTITY
cash across his throat 1t went into the
waste basket before it ever reached me.
I'VE try to avoid the uitra-sensational
in every form and anything repulsiVe
is banned. That does not mean that
we bar the depletion of crime. Tell me.
what books of popular character do
not have violence of some form within
their covers? Palliate the crime, sugar
coat the violence as much as you will,
it still remains that murder and sud
den death are the fundamental themes
around which many a classic is written.
1t is not necessary to argue the subject;
there are few who will dispute me.
''The same thing is true of the So
called legitimate stage. Just now there
seems to be run of police and burglar
plays along Broadway in which corrup-
tion is laughed at and crime condoned.
Do the newspapers howl at these plays?
Does the public send in special petitions
and letters to the mayor?
WAS The Easiest Way banned from
Broadway or the publication of Thrse
Weeks forbidden? Were number of
other plays, which / could name, barred
because their treatment and subject mat
ter were risque? Mind you, / do not
condone bad plays nor bad books nor
bad moving picture plays. 7 do believe,
however. that the same treatment given
one should be accorded to the others
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-02

Few better indexes are found to the
growth and prosperity of any city than
the status and number of its moving
picture theatres.
In past years those who are inter-
ested have been in the habit of watch
ing the bank clearings and postoffice
receipts of Birmin CHAM or any other
city. in order to gauge the business and
industrial activity of the community.
But moving picture theaters have made
their advent since that time and their
immense popularity among people of
all classes and conditions of life is
fact making them one of the most
authentic criterions of a community's
prosperity that exists.
People of a community will mail let
