wlscoNs,N,s EueENIc LAW.

The much heralded Eugenic Law
of Wisconsin so much talked about by
those who proposed to usher in the
new order of things in the universe
and who seemed to see the millennium
as a result of this piece of legislation
has been declared unconstitutional.
The measure was held to conflict
with religious liberty. Although the
courts praised the intent Of the trainers
of the law it was declared to be the
sense of the court that the law which
provided for physicians certificate
of health including a certain test
known as the Wasserman test is in
violation of the constitution and that,
it further conflicts with religious lib
erty because it tends to restrain
marriage.
This decision which is in conflict
with the ruling of the Attorney Cen
eral of Wisconsin who held that the
law might be enforced without the ap-
plication of the Wasserman test. The
purpose of the test being to determine
whether or not the applicant was free
from certain private diseases.
The agitation and the arousing of
public conscience regarding the moral
and physical fitness of persons con-
templating matrimony has not at this
late date been left to the state. Re.
ligion has ever been vigilant and the
transgressors of the moral code will
entertain but little respect for legal
mandates especially when the law in
this instance is impossible of enforce.
ment and may be defeated by a COM
mon law marriage. 1t takes some peo-
pie a long time to realize the truth of
the adage that man cannot be made
good by an act of Parliament.
The Dublin labor strike continues
with little chance for an amicable So
luton or any sort of solution In the
near future. Larkin wants to carry
on a campaign in America to raise
funds. The hint might be given Lar
kin that what campaign money the
Irish-Americans have to spare will be
cheerfully given to the Home Rule
fund. In the meantime the loss in
Dublin owing to the strike amounts
to nearly sixty thousand dollars per
day.

Catholic women of the archdiocese
of st. Paul held meeting in the Aber-
deem hotel Monday to devise ways and
means of presenting new altar to
the new cathedral to complete the
chapel dedicated to the Blessed Vir-
gin. The cost of the altar will be
about $4,000. The chapel to St. Jo-
seph is being furnished by the Sisters
of st. Joseph. There are other affairs
devoted to the different nationalities,
but the chapel to the Virgin is pre-
eminently important, as it occupies a
position near the main aisle. The
project of the furnishings of the
chapel appeals more especially to the
Catholic women of the archdiocese,
who are taking a keen interest. in the
plan.

POSTAL INCONSISTENCY.
Law Prohibits the Sending Of Obscene
Matter, Still the Mails Reek
With II.

(From the Alton, ILL.,, Journal)
A few years ago the postoffice de-
partment of the government ordered
all papers barred from the United
States mails, if they contained any
account of games of chance or printed
the names of persons winning prizes
at euchre or other parties. In Chi
cago, later a man was bankrupted
fighting for the privilege of sending
matter through the mails, that the
postal authorities considered obscene
and Objectionable. But, every week
the United States mails carry mate
rial far worse in every way than any
thing ever contained in either of the
above-more obscene, more objection
able, more villainously libelous. Some
of the stuff is positively rotten and
heretofore could only be seen or heard
in the red light districts where rotten
ness is the chief stock in trade. In
Alton somebody is playing for large
amount of this mental and moral filth
and is scattering it broadcast and the
postal authorities so far have not said
or done one thing in protest. The
number of papers being received by
Altonians through the mails and paid
for by someone, or some society, is in
creasing weekly, but large per cent
of the copies of the paper (Which is
called The Menace) goes into the fire
as soon as received. Many decent
people of Alton will not handle it with
bare hands it is so foul. They stick a
poker through it, or get fire shovel
under it and cremate it. It is we'll
named The Menace. That Is what it
is-a menace to right thought, religi-
GUS liberty, and fundamental Ameri-
canism. When such papers SO strong
ly antagonistic to cornerstones of the
American constitution can flourish
and are scattered far and wide through
the mails of the government whose
bulwark religious liberty" they at
tack, it surely is time for real Ameri-
cans to wake up. There is the menace,
and it Is threatening the life of the
constitution itself. If there were no
other reason the editors and publish
ers of that paper and all like it should
be arrested and punished for attack
ing the constitution, or at least one
of its greatest and best guarantees.
Attacking the constitution is treason
and that is the charge that should be
brought against The Menace editors
and publishers. The socialists are
fighting the government and Catholics.
The Menace is fighting Catholics and
in fighting them because of their re.
ligion is fighting the constitution.
Neither the socialists nor The Menace
say word against any other religion
than the Catholic. What's the an.
swer? The Journal proprietor and
publisher is not a Catholic, but he is
an American and he believes in the
suppression of indecency Of malice
and of falsehoods and the paper called
The Menace Is q veritable sewer for
all of these things.

and great depletion of the mineral
water basin took place, depriving the
entire area of materials which Nature
had furnished for the maintenance of
her natural fountains. Since New
York, through its Reservation Com
mission, has undertaken protective
policy with regard to the springs, and
the pumping operations have been
stopped, the restoration of the mineral
waters to the Saratoga basin is being
accomplished. Examinations by the
State Hygienic Laboratory at Albany
show the return of a steady flow and
fairly constant naturalization varying
only with physical disturbances. A
few years must elapse before the
springs will have returned to all the
natural conditions which were present
before the gas companies began oper-
ations. These facts serve to show
that scientific control may sometimes
be beneficent procedure, and that.
presumably through the Public Health
Service, it ought to be applied more
widely in the United States.

bits. Mitchell pays 8 cents and How
ard 5 cents for each Jack Rabbit
scalp and cents for the small cotton
tail. In consequence of the bounty and
a desire to rid the country of the pests
thousands are being slaughtered l
learn that next Monday 10000 scalps
will be paid for in Big Springs the

The successful and rapid capture of
rabbits is greatly facilitated by the
use of net wire in addition to men
with guns.
A place is chosen at the corner of
some ranch or pasture and net wire
"a by &c inch is attached to posts of
fence and is run out from one fourth
to a half mile as wings and right in
corner a pen or corral is constructed
into which the rabbits are driven.
A number on horseback will then
surround the ranch and come through
toward the corner driving the rabbits
before them. AS many men and boys
as can be procured with guns are
stationed along the wings and beyond,
to shoot all that are likely to escape.
Sometimes as many as 100 or more
are captured and shot in one of these
drives. In some of the drives the
wives and daughters carry dinner and
all have a royal time. In a week 5000

LETTER FROM WESTBROOK TEN
Editor News:

Editor News:
Farming operations here. are still
practically at standstill on account
of continued dry weather.
This is the 18th day of April and
with the exception of light sprinkles
Of rain and a little snow TWO or three
times, we have had no precipitation
since December 18th.
\ few farmers have begun planting
feed crops viz: Sorghum, Maize and
kaffir but without rain the seeds will
not terminate to do any good.
Much blowing preparatory to plant
ing remains undone. A watchful wait
ing for rain began back in March but
the wished for moisture has failed to
materialize. Some tell me that very
likely we will not get rain before
May or June, but that coming then it
will be quite possible to make a good
crop, provided the season is favorable
from then on. Cotton is planted here
all the way from the middle of April
till July though the greater part is
planted in May.
While we have been dry here good
rains have fallen east of us three or
four times in the past month-near
enough to hear the thunder-and we
see in the papers that central and
east Texas counties have had excess
sive rain falls.
For the past two months most all
farmers here have done nothing much
but hunt rabbits. By the way the
question of rabbit determination is
problem here. The long cared variety
