emo weaker counties through a
general state tax. The cities OF Bir-

should also through the county
tax aid and assist, as now required to do,
the weaker districts within the county
But the major is right when he sug-
gests that to continue this policy by IN
creasng the state taxes or the state
appropriations would be an injustice TO
these counties. 1t would likewise be an
Injustice to these rapidly growing cities
to increase the county tax, to compel

hands and deny them the right OF sup

The serious student of our system OF

that should no longer be tolerated. Let

heredity controls and makes or
mars the race, we must then
save the race by conforming to
natures laws. Lately the people
have become interested in the
study of eugenics. And the
most comprehensive definition
yet given of eugenics is: Better
Babies" The orthodox, who
claim a patent on the right to in
terpret Gods design, fight the
idea that the propagation of the
human animal should be upon as
scientific lines as that of the low
er animals. They say that mar
riage is made in heaven, even
though it be a lunatic welded to
leper, a criminal to a consump-
tive OF a degenerate to a healthy
woman, and that these should
heed the scriptural admonition:
Multiply and replenish the
earth. " 1t is, according to their
creed, heretical to assert the
truth that such marriages are
crimes and that the production
Of children through such unions
is criminal.
When enlightenment progress
es sufficiently to crowd out SUI
perstition we will have laws re-
quiring applicants for marriage
license to pass rigid medical ex-
aminations, have an educational
qualification for marriage, and
also a law for the separation or
sterilization should one Of the
parties contract an incurable,
transmitable disease. A Divine
Power would not create a race of
people, endow it with intelli-
gence, and then forbid it to take
the means to perpetuate itself.
Those unfortunte marriages are
sins against nature, and to sin
against nature is to sin against
God.

One Of the things that has mil
itated against the rearing of bet
ter babies has been the ignorance
of the people, the failure of the
parents to teach children at the
time they should know. A false
idea of modesty, or the mistaken
impression the they should find
out for themselves, keeps par
ents from instructing their child
rem in the essential knowledge
Of the sex functions. The faith
er refuses to instruct the son
and the son goes on in ignorance
until he learns from older boys,
and that knowledge is usually
accompanied by laschivious
teaching and harmful practices
and frequently the boy is an If
redeemable physical wreck be-
fore he is aware Of it. Mothers
seek to zealously guard their girls
from the knowledge of self, in
the mistaken idea that it is i'm
proper for them to know, and
the innocent girl learns from an
older girl, with salacious ideas
and impure thoughts, and the
mate sense Of purity in the in
nocent mind Of the girl receives
its first communicating touches.
There are those who will say that
this is a subject that should not
be discussed in newspaper, but
fortunately the demand for a
better knowledge is bringing the
matter where the greatest of all
educators the newspaper-must
lend its aid.

There is nothing antagonistic
in the two articles. Social life,
as we live it, is arule of conduct,
artificial in that it is a departure
from natural conduct. We sur
render some of our natural indi-
vidual rights in Difference to the
aggregate idea Of the commune
ty. If the people as a body were
better our social customs would
be more rational, but they only
reflect what we are.
If "a Reader" had really been
a reader he would have seen that
in the first article he mentions |
had reference solely to the prob
lem of sex relation; and the ma
ture of the effect of that on the
mind Of young girls. We are all
governed by the influences Of
heredity. Environment modifes
heredity only as it makes the he
reditary tendencies more or less
difficult of attainment. 1t is no
more nor less than artificial re-
straint or encouragement for the
natural inclinations. Hereditary
inclinations may be strengthened
or weakened by environment and
habit.
