Green Bay.-According to Deputy
Fire Marshal William Finnegan, Har-
ry Larvier, nineteen years old, has
confessed to setting three fires in
Green Bay during the present month.
The fires attributed to Larvier's work
were all small and little damage was

dry goods business in Oconomowoc

offers himself and with some others Of
the same persuasion is said to con-
template opposition to currency legis
lation.
The measure Of the stat esmanship to
be expected from this opposition may
be taken by Mr. Henry's charge that
Wall street" IS responsible for the
pressure for currency legislation and
for its form.
Three or four years ago that charge
would have been excusable. 1t is not
now. The proposed legislation is the
outgrowth Of nearly five years of dis
cussion among the bankers and the
business men of the country. II Mr..
Henry is really so ingenious as TO
think Wall street project could stand
the scrutiny, the criticism, the active
debate which the national reserve asso-
citation plan has undergone his opinion
should carry little weight in congress.
The most hopeful factor in the stu
alton is the evidence that men who
favored the Aldrich plan and those who
opposed il, business men and bankers
and economists Of all sections are get

ton measure. Ii is buncombe 10 talk

Currency legislation should be worked
out on plane higher than party poll
tics and out of reach of barrel thump-
ers and economic quacks, however well
intensioned. 1t Is job for banking
experts. for economists. and for think
ing business men. AS II is formulating
now the proposed legislation seems
likely to deserve the earnest support
of all parties in congress and all should
join in shutting off unnecessary OBJ

The time is ripe for sound currency

or SO harmonious as to essentials as

MARRIED EUGEEICALLY."
LSioux City Naval

"swarthuore Maid to Wed Eugeni-
eally'' runs headline. The papers are
having much TO say about "eugenic"
marriages. From the fuss made you'd
think there was something new and
strange about EN-.
There isn't. An "eugenic" marriage
is nothing in the world but a plain.
fashioned. horse sense marriage
under a fancy label.
Indeed. it's the only kind Of marriage
kind is only legalized vice.
The STarthmore maid who is to be
married eugenically is merely using the
prudence which every woman oush:
TO use before she gives herself to a man
by requiring the lucky fellow TO match
his marriage certificate with clean
bill OF health, a test to which she is
also willing to submit.
Sensible folks about to marry
haven't always gone SO far as to re-
quire a doctors o. K. But if not it
was because they had confidence
enough in each other to believe that
neither would be mean enough to go
into the hottest Of human relationships,
into the rearing Of family, polluted
and poisoned.
Blu. because some people are igno-
rant on this subject and many vicious,
1t has become necessity Of social well
fare that the bars to easy marriage
should be- hh;a;::.: higher.
To require that children shall not be
brought into the world by parents who
are 30 tainted themselves as to make 1t
certain In advance that the children
will be detectives and liable to become
dead weights on society Is not an i'm
prudent interference with personal lib
erty. but rather collective good sense.
Thus far this requirement has not
gone very far as the work Of law
makers; 1t being established gradually
IN the form of social custom. which
| is better. But It needs all the rein
forcements it can get.

ice for which al of W may vel! be
