MENACE TO BRITISH NATION
Fostering Of the UNIT 10 Increasing
the Number Of Degenerates,
Says Authority.

In the fostering of the unfit Prof.
K Cary ellison sees the menace of
the future of the British nation.
Since 1875 there has been an ex-
traordinary fall in the birth rate of
the more efficient elasses-including
professional people and the best ar
tisans and skilled mechanics
with no falling off in the increase of
the incompetent and degenerate, who
are actually favored by both viron-
ment and legislation.
War on infant mortality and sur
gical aid have enabled detectives to
become parents to an extent hitherto
unparalleled. Even such well-intend-
ed acts as the prohibition of child la
Dor, compulsory education and free
breakfasts tax the capable for the
benefit of the incompetent and idle
and make harder the bringing up of
the family of the industrious without
discouraging the reproduction of
those whose standard of parental OBJ
legations is extremely low.
To avert national ruin, economic
factors must be intelligently read
justed so as to restore selection of the
fit in place of disastrous selection of
the unfit. The marrying of actual
degenerates must be forbidden, and
social legislation, philanthropic eff
fort, regulation of industry and com
merce and other undertakings should
oe considered in relation to their pos
sible effect on the national breed.
Better than any millionaire's bene-
faction, it is concluded, would be a
well administered endowment en-
abling sound and capable persons to
marry early and bring up large fami-
lies

CAN ROADS AFFORD ID BE AT WAR WITH C|TY?l IS NOW ASKED
Commissioner Says the Rail. roads Have Many Vul- nerable Points Which
 Will Be Attacked

"rhe basis of all relations between the city and the railroads involved is going to be the First avenue viaduct from now on." said City Commissioner James weatherly. in charge of the viaduet mat ter, yesterday.
 We propose to have a viaduct at First avenue and Twenty-seventh street, and the city's means of attaining that end is privileged from now on to progress in any direction that may present itself, ' he continued. In other words, the rail- roads depend upon the city for many things, and those things will be handled from now on with but one aim in view-a viaduet on First avenue.
 The situation evolves itself into ques- tion of whether or not the railroads in- volved in these present viaduct negotia- tions can afford to be at arms length with the city. They are now enjoying many privileges, possessing many tracts of ground, using many rights of way and enjoying other concessions merely at the pleasure and good will of the city gov- ernmnet They have now thrown down the gauntlet to the city government, and if things don't get lively for them in the near future I'm sadly mis- taken.
 We believe that the viaduct ordinance which goes into effect April l is amply able to take care of itself and force the railway companies to build viaduct at First avenue and Twenty-seventh street. But We are not going to rest with that alone. The corporations have seen fit to consider the propositions made by the city toward a peaceful viaduct settlement with more or less impunity. In other words, they have made it appear that m the negotiations of the past few years they have made of us a goat
 Now, We propose to strike back and were going to strike in every direction we can find, and a review of the situation shows that these are many The corpora tons in question have many things now when We are going to make them give up, and they want many more things Tn the future which we are not going to

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T MARRY A SUSPICIOUS BEINGv

IL seems most unfortunate that Dante who could love Beatrice with so much ardor as he himself has told up in his Divine Comedy" should have not been united at least with one who would cher ish such devotion and reciprocate it to the fullest extent. But it was not so to be. but instead the great Italian poet of the middle ages married Gemma Donai, a woman of stern, impefious temper. He was hectored and bulled day and night until his exile, and for this reason, no doubt, he fails to mention Gemma in any of his writings
 Dante met and admued Beatrice when he was still at the age when senti- ment plays so important a part in life. It was this devotion that undoubtedly led him into a marriage shortly after Be- atriee' death, certainly not later than 129S. Boceaccio states that Dantes marriage was brought about by his relations in or der to console him for the loss of Beatrice.
 Previous to his marriage Dante had been used to spend his time over his pre- cious studies whenever he was inclined, and would converse with kings and princes, dispute with philosophers and fre- quent the company of poets, the burden of whose grief he would share and thus solace his own.
 After he had married Gemma. when- ever II pleased her he must, at her bid ding, quit his distinguished company and bear with the talk of women, and to avoid q worse veXation must not only as- sent to their opinions but against his in- cilnations must even approve of them He who, Whenever the presence of the vulgar herd annoyed him, had been accustomed to fetlre to some solitary spot and there to speculate on the motions of the heavens or the source of animal life, or the be- ginning of created things. now. as often as the whim took his new mistress he must abandon all such sweet contempla- ton and go in company with those who had little mind for such things
