The opinion holds that the STATE
superintendent of public instruction
is constitutional office and that
women are not allowed to vote for
that Office.
The opinion, written by Chief Just
ice Hobson, the whole court sitting,
exhaustively discusses the constitu-
tionality of that portion of the Suf-
frage Act of 1912 relating to the
election Of Superintendent. This
affirmation of the judgment of the
Anderson Circuit Court finally set
ties the right Of women, possessing
the statutory qualifications and living
outside first and second class cities,
to vote for this officer, and Attorney
General Garrett, who has received
inquiries from.County Clerks about
the question. said he would notify
them at once that they must provide
separate ballots for the women to
vote for County Superintendent.

Are You Fit to Marry?

This is time Of strange social up-
heaval, says Bailey Willard. in No
vember Technical World Magazine.
Short-haired women and long
haired men are shouting from the
lecture platform that practical eu-
genics" is the one and only cure for
all social ills. and a great many
quiet. well meaning people are being
swept off their feet by these blasts of
rhetoric. But it is to be observed
also that many solid persons still re-
main standing.
The radical eugenist intends to
carry out his work of race redemp-
ton on a stock farm plan. He clam
ors for scientific mating" and "se-
lective breeding" He urges that
only the eft" or the normal" shall
be allowed to marry and have chill
dren. Laboratories of eugenics,
called clearing houses for scientific
race investigation and improvement
have been established in Europe and
America. There is one of these at
Cold Spring Harbor. Lor G Island, to
which persons about to marry are
invited to apply, giving their family
histories and asking for advice as to
whether they are fit to take the fatal
plunge. Sometimes the wise men of
the laboratory after carefully scrut-
inizing and weighing the data pre-.
sented, soIemnly reply that there is
no reason why a certain couIle
should not marry and raise children;
and again other couples, after their
records have been duly put through
the mill, are advised not to wed. In
either case the couple go right ont
and get married, if they feel so dis
posed. and the professor of eugenics
has had his labor for his pains.
