THE RABY'S BIRTHRIGHT

The birth rate of civilized countries
is declining. This has occasioneG
great concern to statesmen through
out the world To meet this situa
ton, former President Roosevelt, you
will recall attempted to popularize
large families. His remedy has not
seemed to most students to be the
best one. We do not need more
babies nearly so much as we need to
save those we have. The baby's birth
right is the right to live.
Havelock Ellis, in "The Task of
Social Hygiene" has shown that
throughout the world a high birth
rate is accompanied by high infant
death rate. On the other hand, when
the birth rate declines the death rate
declines ALSO Nature is profigate
A fish lays millions of eggs for each
hatched but an occasional infant fish
reaches maturity.
The lower creature is in the scale
Of evolution the greater is it's number
of offspring. To make certain of per-
petuating the species nature has made
allowances for many that may be
killed off. At the same time nature
provided mankind with thinking
brains and the ability to overcome
conditions which are good enough for
fish.
The instinct to protect the life of
ones young increases as the species
rises in the scale of creation. To man
alone is given an enduring affection
for his offspring to strengthen his
instructive parental protection.
AS there are gradations in the obli-
cations of parenthood throughout the
lower forms of animal life, so there
are variations in the human species
AS man rises in civilization and social
responsibility to and has a greater
affection for his offspring. AS civili
cations rise in intelligence and impor
tance the people show an increasing
concern with the welfare and protec
ton of their younger generations
This includes their neighbors' chill
dren with their own. Even childless
citizens desire the continual existence
of the species.
The season of greatest danger tC
the life and health of infants will
soon be here. Individual parents
should look to the safeguards of their
infants life and heath. All patriotic
citizens should look to the community
or collective safeguards of the com
munity's infants. No better index o1
the patriotism of people can be oh
served than the provision that is made
to protect the lives of coming citizens
upon whom rests the future of the
nation.
knowledge that impure milk causes
the greatest slaughter of infants
ought to be sufficient to insure provi
sion of clean milk. The ability tc
secure clean milk for your baby and
mine, at least if we live in cities, de
pends upon an equal ability of oul
neighbor to secure clean milk for his
baby.
By the way, is the milk supply o1
your town good? Don't guess. Know!
Guessing, with stake baby's life, is
unworthy of superior human intelli
gence.

Quite a number of the business men
were given much trouble by large num-
Der of gypsieS who came here. Articles
were purchased and the wishing "good
luck" was the only pay Many were beg
ging and persistantly insisting that they
be given goods. At several places they
were caught stealing money and thus
causing considerable 5xcitment. The
police should be strict with them and
ious as that is perhaps the only way to
make them behave. 1t has been said that
they are causing farmers considerable

PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. 29.-The
closing Of the stock exchange as an
emergency measure during the first
few months of the war proved their
great value, according to Prof Henry
{. Emery, of Yale, whose paper was
a feature of the discussion at the
morning session of the American
Economic association today on Spec
ulation on the Stock Exchanges and
Public regulation of the Exchanges. .
Speaking of the elaborate attempt
made in Germany to regulate stock
speculation, he pointed out that not
only had the government repealed

but that in doing so it had distinctly
stated that the restrictive measures
of that act had had the effect of in
tensifying the evils aimed at. not
diminishing them.
The important and necessary func.
ton of free speculation market,
said Mr. Emery, had come to be gen
orally recognized by economists. A
new fallacy, however, had crept in.
This was in confusing speculation
