The simple and disagreeable truth
is that modern business has destroyed
the fundamental principle of natural
selection. Making women economic
ally dependent on men eliminates the
lifting power of woman's choice-and
there can be no choice without free.
dom and no freedom except it be
grounded in economic independence
Because of woman's dependence and
humanity's mental, sympathetic and
social refnements, the fundamental
principles of natural selection and the
Survival of the fittest" through the
struggle for existence have been
forced into the background, creating an
artificial condition certain to be cor.
rected by selfdestruction. Hence
this cry for eugenics
Eugenics cannot become a vital
power in any nation until sufficient
body of the people become imbued
with the true principles, and this is a
condition impossible to attain through
legislation, and is only to be achieved
by individual effort and mental and
physical development. No sane par
ents will knowingly deliberately con
denim their children or their children S
children to poverty, the insane asy
lum or worse; and the means of pre-
vention lie in knowledge.
If every child were given prac
tical working knowledge Of physics
chemistry and biology, studies that
furnish material for true thought and
fundamental understanding, the pres
ent unhealthy condition would auto
matically correct itself, and there
would be no more talk of eugenics.

EUGENIcS.

Lester Ward declares. that aversion
in the relations between man and
woman means that their union will re-
suit in some defect or imperfection in
the offspring. And our knowledge of
the laws of heredity and of environ
ment prove this must be true.
Environment counts for fully 80 per
cent in the development of the indi-
vidual, and family distraught by
pickering, misunderstanding, and the
lack of mutual consideration and for
bearance, cannot we'll be considered
favorable environment in which to de-
velop normal children.
Sex selection and the survival of the
attest appears to have been RESPONSE
BILE for the course of human evolution
up to the time Of the ancient Greeks,
and if the fragments of that early civil
lization indicate anything, obviously
they indicate plane of pure and log
zeal thought we have yet to attain.
Sex selection means the choice of
superior mates, and therefore the pro
duction of superior qualities in pos
terity. Free, natural selection has
been the uplifting power that has de-
veloped and conserved the race. The
primitive selection inspired by natural
instinct and maintained by strong
arms and a stone club undoubtedly
bred men and women relatively superb
or to many of today, and vastly superb
or to those certain to result from like
number of generations with choice
largely governed by the power of
property accumulated through more or
less devious methods.
What is there in all recorded his
tory that we can point to in evidence
of our ability to improve on the forces
that brought US from the primal cell
to Thales, Anaximander, Hippocrates
and Euclid, intellects that still actuate
the minds of men after more than
twenty centuries?
Granting that beings vary among
themselves generation after genera
ton, granting only the fit survive,
granting the survivors tend to trans
NIT their qualities, then it follows that
evolution is now going on and that we
are either ascending or descending.
We know it to be within our power
to go in either direction, and therefore
that we can develop a vastly superior
and a happier race in a few genera
tons if we will to do so. But what
rational steps are being taken to this
end? We laugh at the childish eff
forts to stay natural forces by i'm
perial or legislative edict recorded in
earlier ages; but are recent legisla-
tive enactments in the name Of eu-
genics any more logical or do they
promise to be any more effective than
Emperor Caligulas command that the
tide cease to rise?

Outstanding that the final court OF ap-
peal is observation and experiment.
and not authority. however eminent
1t may have been in its day and gener-
alton. The old axiom. Like produces
like" is now known to be incorrect.
No two things can be produced ex-
actly alike. and we know that ability
to change is the evidence of life.
A farmer selects as a fine ear Of
seed corn one in which each kernel
conforms in general type to a desirable
ancestor, and from this ear he takes
the seed for a new crop. Three factors
enter into the results from the plant
ing of this seed-heredity, climate,
soil. Granting the first two factors to
be ideal, there are ten elements re-
quired in the soil to produce a de-
velopment equal in type and vitality to
the parent seed. Oxygen, hydrogen,
nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, calcium,
sulphur, potassium, iron and magnesi-
um are the necessary elements, and
the absence of one of these ten chem
icals in necessary amount will de-
termine whether there shall be a par.
tial or even a total crop failure. Corn
can be fed and bred up or starved and
run down. One community will aver
age ten bushels per acre and another
will average 100 bushels per acre. By
the intelligent adjustment of all the
factors, 239 bushels per acre have been
produced.
The same principles and factors ap-
ply to the animal kingdom, including
man. Heredity determines the type,
but environment governs what the in
dividual shall be. In common with
the corn of the field and with all other
forms OF life mankind reacts to the
universal laws of change and moditica'
ton; and this is the hope of humanity.
There being no spontaneous genera
ton of the human species, it follows
that all are of equally ancient lineage,
and investigation will show only lit
tie way back a material faint in the
line Of the best, judged by present day
standards. This is proof that in all
life there is an inherent tendency to
adapt and advance.
The fundamental problem of man Is
to stay here on earth-"We don't
know where we are going, but we're
on the way" and we might as we'll be
comfortable about it. An intelligent
application of the laws Of heredity as
laid down by Mendel, coupled with a
rational adjustment of the individual
to environment, could make new
race in two generations. We may be
ascendent or decadent just as we see
fit.

BIG BALL0ON|ST
ACT ATTAINED
Norway's Champion Ski
Jumper Is Also to Show
at Grand Forks Fair

The amusement feature of the
Grand Forks county fair, which opens
three weeks from today, will be one
of the best in the history of local
fairs. The Midway attractions land
the free grandstand acts. have been
carefully planned, and, Judging from
the advance notices, theyswill be ex-
ceptionally good.
The Fair association has closed a
contract with the Great International
Show company, which will furnish the
greater part of the Midway attrac-
tons. This company has twelve
shows, besides a merry-go-round and
a Ferris wheel. They carry such
shows as a wild west performance, a
trained animal exhibition, a motor
drom and a number of fun-makins
show houses.
One Of the Midway attractions, in
dependent Of the Great International
Show company will be Capt. Henric-
acrobats." Capt. Henricsen is a
champion ski jumper Of Norway, and
is spending the summer touring this
country. He turns q complete SOM
ersault in mid-air, after skiing down
an artificial slide so feet high and 80
feet long. This attraction will be on
the Midway and will not be one of the
free shows.
The Fair association also has Sc
cured Prof. Ed. l.. Hutchinson, the
worlds greatest b%alloonist, for one OF
the free grandstand attractions. Mr.
Hutchinson will make a balloon as
cension each day, the feature OF
which will be his six-parachute drop
Inside of the ordinary parachute drop,
Prof. Hutchinson uses six of them.
He floats on n for Il short distance
after which another one is cut loose
and he continues the drop in that.
Before he reaches the ground, he uses
six parachutes. This is said to be the
most thrilling balloon ascension and
parachute drop seen.

= THROUGH THE GREAT CANAL. !
How the Ships are Handled on 4
Trip from Ocean to Ocean. 4
(Review of Reviews.)


Suppose, now, our vessel enters
from the Atlantic side, approaching
the channel in Limon bay, which is
an arm Of the Caribbean Sea. From
this entrance the vessel sails about
seven miles through a made channel
to Gatun. There it enters a series Of
three locks, which lift it IS feet to
the level of Gatun Lake. At the en-
trance to the locks at Gatun, or Mira
flores, the Captain will deliver over
his vessel to the absolute control Of
an official of the canal, who will be
in charge until the ship leases the
great waterway. Many precautions
are taken to prevent accident in en-
tering or leaving the locks.
In the level stretches and or Gatun
Lake the chip will proceed under its
own steam. While going into and
through the locks, however, the cleo
trio locomotive of the ana operat-
ing force will be the propelling force.
The observation niche in the cente
Of each Of the locks is so placed as to
command an unobstructed view of the
whole. The operator there directs
and controls every operation in the
passage of the vessel except the move
ments Of the towing locomotive. He
mas before him on q table a control
board with water levels and switch
lever. Standing before this board, he
directs the movements Of the vessel
and watches on the miniature model
before him the levels rise and fall and
the levers go back and forward, as
they do in the great waterway itself.
After leaving the highest lock, at
Bas Obispo, the ship will go under it's
WI steam at full speed, if its Cap
tain desires through the "a miles of
Gatun Lake. There it will enter the
famous Culebra Cut. a deep slice in
the mountains, the only break in the
continental backbone of the two
American continents from Alaska to
Cape Horn. For nine miles the chan
mel passes through this cut, ending at
Pedro Miguel. It Is in this section of
the canal that SO many slides and
breaks have occured-26 in all, COW
ering a total area of more than 200
acres. For the satisfaction of those
who fear that this may be a per-
manen danger, It should be mention
ed that a recent special report on the
geology Of the cut concludes that,
when the banks have been properly
terraced and the pressure on the sides
thus properly adjusted, there is no
danger Of the slides endangerine the
operation Of the completed canal.
At Pedro Miguel the ship will enter
another lock on its downward trip to
the racine. Ih1s lock Will lower 1t
33 1-2 feet to Lake Mirafores, a small
body Of water, itself at an elevation Of
81 2-s feet above sea level. A sail Of
q mile n a half cross this lake
brings the ship to the station Of Mira
flores, where it will enter q series of
two other locks and be lowered to sea
level. At Miraflores eight and a half
miles Of channel separate the vessel
from the Pacific. The canal has been
graphically compared to a huge water
bridge divided into two sections, with
the locks acting as water elevators at
each end.

EXPERT
TO Make TESTS
Health Board Fears Tuber-
culosis Germs in This
Vicinity

A government expert to test the
cattle Of this locality for tuberculosis
germs, probably will be asked for by
the city board of health, according
to plans made at the meeting held
Monday.
Several cases of the disease have, it
appears, been discovered recently,
and in one case the carcas of an in
fected animal was slaughtered to be
sold as meat.
Such being the case, the board feels
that in order to insure the health of
the residents Of the city, a careful in
vestigat!on should be made.
The board organized formally, &C
cording to the new state law, at the
meeting Monday. DR.. Orr Sanders
was chosen president; T. J.. Smith,
v~ice-president, and DR.. A. A. Western,
clerk.
Arrangements were also made for
the immediate enforcement of the
law requiring milk dealers to display
their license numbers on wagons and
cans.

DOG GUARDS TRAMP.
columbus Dispatch.)

COLUMBUS olSpaLCn.)
A tramp was sitting on a fallen tree
along the banks of Alum Creek one
Sunday afternoon, and beside him lay
a big coach dog. The owner of the
land, who happened to come along
just as the observer was getting a pic
ture of the pair, ordered the tramp
from the place. The tramp, how
ever, looked up indifferently at the
landlord and made no effort to obey
the command.
The owner then proceeded to picl:
up a large stick and drive the tramp
away. Just at this time the big dog
raised his head and began to growl.
AS the came forward to use the
weapon upon the vagrant the dog
arose and stationed himself in front
of his master. In the animals eye
there came an angercd look, and he
growled v~iciously at the landlord, who
lost his nerve and ~retreated, promis-
ing, however, hat he would have q
constable attend to the tramp.
After the owner had departed the
tramp lazily lay down. on the log,
stretched his arms, and proceeded to
take a nap The dog lay down beside
him, placed his head across the
tramp's knees and watched the land
lord until he was out of sight. Every
time q passerby would happen to walk
near the, tramp the dog would raise
his head and watch him until he had
passed.

COMPULSORY INAUGURATION.

10, oo1y t.-1Ic rdGlS Guy SOUu-
Gil refused to cancel the regulation
making ~innoculation against typhoid
fever obligatory in the case Of the
staffs of the various hospitals.
Councillor Evain, who opposed the
compulsion, asserted that two hospital
employees had died as the result Of
innoculation by the anti-typhoid
serum, the use Of which should be
optional, he declared. in view of the
great uncertainty, in. the opinion Of
physicians, as to it's consequences.
Gustave Musuerue defended the
hospital services and denied that any
deaths had occurred from such
causes. He declared innoculation
could of itself have no i'll conse-
quences and that the best medical
opinion was agreed as to the neces-
sity for such a preventative measure.
Perfect success, he said, had attended
the use of the serum in the principal
provincial cities. =

Steve Dawking, the gentleman who
made strenuous efforts to clean up
the Grand Forks department Monday
night, was sentenced today by Judge
J.. r.. Church to spend 80 days in the
county Jail.
He was charged with vagrancy
when arraigned in police court this

hat he came from Hoople and the
authorities of that town were conanau-
nicated with by the local police to
ascertain whether or not anyone in
Hoople cared to pay his fine or send
him enough money to get home.
The answer came back that Dawk-
ing wasn't wanted in Hoople at any
price.
Dawking was arrested last night,
after a hot chase, for begging on the
street. He put up a strenuous fight
with the police before he was finally
