VOX POPULI.
MRS. SHEAR SAYS EuGENlc
LAW HAS COME TO STAY

Editor Pensacola Journal.
The writer of q recent editorial says
that the new eugenic law of Wisconsin
has had the effect of reducing the
number of marriages in that state. This
law simply embodies the principle of
the survival of the fttest: and has
been in force among breeders of live
stock for many years.
Christianity teaches that the differ
ence between man and the lower ami
mails, is that a mans body is the tenn
pie of an immortal soul. Is it possible
that we want our horses or dogs to be
healthier, purer and better than this
higher animal in whose body dwells a
part of God Himself? Whatever name
is given this spark of Divinity, this
Divine atom, whether it be called con-
science, soul or spirit, it is God within
US. What is meant by you in me and
I in you?" And what did our Savior
mean when He said ''Inasmuch as We
have done it unto the least of these,
ye have done it unto me- The fact
that marriages have decreased as d
result of this law, is the most con-
vincing proof that could be given OF
the need of such a law. If there IS a
man made law on the statute books
of the state of Wisconsin, such as the
common law referred to in your edi-
torial article, it is a disgrace to the
state, and should be, and will be. re-
peaIed. These subjects were publicly
discussed at a convention recently held
at Battle Creek, Mich. This question

seriosSs Collaboration Of ths wisesL

most ar-seeing men of this country,
and Of the world. There is no secret
sin. Murder will out. The day is past
for prudery. A nations welfare is at
stake. Thousands of children are
cursed before their birth with loath-
some diseases. Is it a fad" that tries
to save the children?
The United States government
spends millions OF dollars in getting
rid of diseases among cattle and hogs.
Is the effort to stamp out a disease
that is sappipg the manhood of the
nation, merely a so called reform ?'
All this twaddIe about 'love laughing
at locksmiths'' has very little weight
with those who know how divorces
have increased in the last ten years.
No feeling that deserves the name of
love, will condemn a pure, innocent
woman to a life Of hopeless invalidisn.
No man who really loves a woman,
will wish her to become the mother of
puny, weak, diseased children who are
below the normal in mind and body.
When men learn that to marry a pure
woman they must themselves be pure,
we will have a new race Of human be-
ings.
The eugenic law has come to stay.

Government Publications
For Teachers.

The hidden wealth in government
publications, especially as it affects
teachers, is described by Frederick K
] Noyes in a bulletin just issued by the
| United States Bureau of Education
| Mr.. Moves had delved, as he says, into
'the vast stores Of teaching material
that lie embedded in government docu-
ments, many of which give no indica-
tions; from their titles, of their value
for educational proposes" and has fur
nished a guide to a small portion OF
that part of this material which has
special significance for teachers or
others interested in education.
Tons and tons OF reports. bulletins,
and miscellaneous documents are
turned out daily by the immense print
ing plant Of the government. Con-
gress and the congressional commit
tees are constantly having documents
Of various kinds printed for general
distribution. Every department and
every bureau in the departments has
its own publications. frequently
amounting TO millions of copies an
nually for each office. The bulletin
just published by the bureau of edu-
cation aims to list small part Of the
large amount of this material which
may be of direct use to teachers. es-
pecially material from unexpected
sources, the special value of which
would otherwise remain unknown.
In speaking of the work in connec-
ton with this publication, Commits
sioner Claxton made 1t clear that he
wished it were possible for the bureau
to do more than merely publish an in
dex, useful as he hoped that might
be. zone Of the greatest needs of our
elementary schools is suitable material
to supplement the meager outlines and
brief statements of the textbooks" he
asserted. IF the bureau had the funds
1t could do a notable service by re-
printing much of the material, either
free of charge or at a price sufficient
to cover the printing. The school
work in geography, history. hygiene,
nature study. and other subjects might
then be made far more interesting,
thorough, and practical than 1t now
is"
The bureau bulletin not only calls
particular attention to out way
documents of educational interest and
value; it also tells how these may be

SATURDAY. JANUARY IT. 1914
Colonel Harvey Breaks
Loose Again.

Col. George Harvey could restrain
himself no longer. In the January
number of the North American Re-
view he has broken out. His. sub
sect is President Wilson and he finds
little to commend, but much to con-
denim, in the present administration
and the presidents attitude upon
numerous public questions.
One of Colonel Harvey's criticisms
La that the president overreached him
self IN recommending presidential
primary and that the latter is not only
Unconstitutional, but is a plank out
of the platform OF Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. Another criticism is that
the president is too friendly with labor.
In another criticism the secretary Of
the treasury is assailed for having pro-
gvided the five hundred million dollars
of emergency currency for the relief
of business last fall. No such action
was necessary or proper AYERS Colonel
Harvey.
A further criticism shows US that
with the exception of Secretary Bryan,
Attorney General MacReynolds, and
Secretary OF War Garrison, none of
the other cabinet members has i'm
pressed himself upon the country as
being big enough for the headship of
his great department.
Colonel Harvey does condescend to
commend the president for what he
terms an extraordinary faithfulness
to duty" but outside of that he sees
little in the present democratic adj
ministration that warrants approval
or that gives hope for the future.
1t will be recalled that Colonel Har-
vey's activity in MIR. Wilson's behalf
previous to the nomination was re-
garded as so dangerous that the col
onel had to be called off. We may
regard 1t as particularly fortunate now
that his opposition to the administra-
tion is so pronounced.
With Colonel Harvey's active sup
port. the country at large, knowing
the interests which he has so long and
faithfully represented, would have
every reason to become suspicious of
President Wilson and of his admins
tration. But with Colonel Harvey's
pronounced opposition the public has
every reason to feel secure in the con-
viction that President Wilson is rep
resenting the interests of the great
mass OF people even though he may
have incurred and may continue to
incur the displeasure of that class of
special interests of which Colonel
Harvey is usually the defender and
the mouthpiece.

THRIFT AND THE MAN.

Good Citizenship.

Self Help and Self Respect Allied to
Good Citizenship.
Thrift is an essential and imperative
part Of good citizenship.
The man who sets aside a few pence
or shillings every week or every month
is not only making future provision
for himself. his children or others who
may be dependent on him; but. con-
sciously or unconsciOusly. he Is at the
same time serving his country by help
ing to create type Of character which
is one Of the most valuable of national
assets.
He is setting an example of self COM
temptation to spend on some passing
pleasure the money which should be
reserved for a more useful purpose
And self command means much in
good citizenship.
He is setting an example of self
help. He does not wait for something
to turn up" but sets to work resolute-
ly to improve his position in life by his
own exertions.
He is setting an example of self re-
spect. The saving Of money honestly
earned fosters that spirit Of sturdy In
dependence and confidence in ones
own powers which have played no
small part in building up the prosper
ity Of this country.
In addition to the ethical value which
have cndeavOred to Indicate, the prac-
tice Of thrift by individuals has ma
terial value to the nation. The secu-
rity Of the intricate fabric Of national
credit depends to a very large extent
