he heard the cars roll away in the dark OF
the morning. II seemed. indeed, that he

4 EUGENIC STRIKE.

peculiar strike is on in Wisconsin.
When the legislature passed the Gu
genie marriage bill it fixed the exam
ination fee at So. The physicians of
the state medical society have refused
TO make examinations for that consid-
Grafton. They say they cannot afford
TO.
More than that the attorney general
says they don't have to. lie has de
cided they have a perfect right 10 re
fuse TO accept the legal fee. and
though such refusal is in restraint of
matrimony the state commerce COM
mission has not power 10 enforce the
law OF punish the strikers.
The result is that people who have
acquired the marriage bug must get
their certificates of physical and mem
tai fitness for matrimony and the re-
production OF their species from the
regular county physicians. who will be
able TO make the required tests
through the state board of health
This Will take time and cause delay
unless candidates become sufficiently
anxious TO fatten the legal fee.
While the law provides that physi-
clans shall not charge more than three
dollars for applying the test there is
no inhibition against the candidate
paying more of his own voliti0n. and
in this way probably a solution of the
difficulty will be found. The differ
ence between three dollars and five
dollars or whatever examining physi
clans may want will not restrain the
ardent lover who has the difference
n his pocket.
The experiment of regulating mar
riage on sanitary lines in Wisconsin

states. There is "A widespread senti-
ment in favor OF some provision Of
the kind enacted by the legislature OF

A MATTER OF PRoPRIETY.

There is no impropriety in the pres
ent city council leaving for the new
council certain work pertaining TO fu-
ture administration OF public affairs
nor can the present council be justly
accused Of Sinking its responsibility
unless it fails 10 discharge responsible
tiles which obviously rest upon it,
Such matters as salary increases for
the firemen or other departments Of
the municipal machine. which require
certain amount OF investigation and
which affect the economy Of the new
administration should not be antici-
pated by the old council, nor should
current petitions for the remaining Of
streets which are likely to meet with
opposition be disposed Of
II is incumbent on the old council
however, to turn the city slate over to
the new council as clean as il is pos
sihle with due regard 10 the rights
and welfare Of all concerned. This
in the interest OF good business and a
faithful performance Of duty.
The city plant is a going concern.
II changes hands every four years
and while the purposes Of the bust
ness continue as before. the policies
are altered 10 a greater or less de-
gree. Each succeeding head of the
city becomes responsible in turn for
a wise and economical management,
and in addition TO this responsibility
he should not be burdened with the
mistakes or neglect OF his predeces-
sor
1t is the duty Of each council. as the
business body OF the city. TO clean
house before vacating and leave the
promises in a habitable condition for
its successor This is no more than
fair TO the succeeding body and it is
due 10 the public interest the members
of the council are elected TO serve.
The old council has not manifested
a disposition TO put anything over on
the new council that does not proper
~ belong to it, but it displays good
taste in not taking hasty action on
questions that should receive careful
consideration after investigation.

THE RED CROSS CRUSADERS.

There are so many worthy causes
which bespeak our good will at Christ
mastide and Santa Claus has SO many
errands Of love to run that we hesitate
to burden the old fellow with more.
But we must say a good word for the
Red Cross Christmas seals. They
have become regular visitors among
us and are the lighting force of a
worldwide movement TO eradicate the
great white plague. Each seal is as
bright and CHEEKY as was little Tiny
Tim in Dickens beautiful story. on
letters and packages they become the
messengers of kindness and the testi-
monials of a lover of mankind. Each
stamp seems to say: Know all men by
this present that l love my unknown
fellow.
