PERCY F. PAUL
OLD TOWN INDIAN
VISITOR IN TOWN
Has Seen Service as Fighter for
Uncle Sam, Both in Army and
Navy-Is on Way Home

Among the visitors to Augusta
| Tuesday was Percy f. Paul, a full
| bloodeds Indian Of the Penobscot tribe
and cousin of the famous Sockalex
| is. who is now returning to his home
at Indian Island, Old Town, after a
/ somewhat out -of-the- ordinary career
for man of 26 years of age
! Mr.. Paul has seen service in both
the army and the navy. During the
Spanish American War he was a coal
| passer aboard the battleship Massa-
chusetts, which was in Cuban waters
at the time of the battle of Santiago
Though in the navy only a year and
half the government allowance of
double time for service during the
war gives Mr.. Paul credit for three
years service in the American navy
1t was in the Philippines that
brother of Mr. Paul, who was aboard
the Concord contracted disease and
died.
At the close of the war Mr.. Paul re-
tired from the navy and worked for
while at his trade in a shoe factory.
He then enlisted in the army The last
post at which he was stationed was
at Fort Riley, Kansas, under the COM
seven months as a private of Battery
d, 9Th New York Regiment of Field
Artillery. Illness forced him to leave
the service and he was given honor
able discharge.
From Kansas he has followed a cir
cuitous itinerary to the Eastern coast,
visiting nearly all the states lying on
the route and staying for a time
among the Seneca tribe of Indians up
on the Cattaraugus reservation in
New York state.
With his returning good health Mr..
Pauls desire to be again with the men
in uniform was evidenced by his ap-
| plieation at both the Charleston and
Portsmouth navy yards to re-enlist in
the navy The fact that his services in
the army had been concluded on ac-
count Of illness would have made nee
essary negotiations with, Washington
for his re-entering the navy and have
caused delay led Mr.. Paul to abandon
this intention for the present; and he
Is now in Augusta for a few days be-
fore returning to his native home. Old

Chief Engineer Hunt Of the fire de-
partment said Tuesday morning in re-
gard to the reported sticking of the
door on fire alarm Box So at the time
of the Vickery & Hill publishing house
fire earlier in the morning, that he
tried the box at about A. NJ. and
found no trouble, and is inclined to
believe that whatever trouble there
was resulted from a misunderstanding
on the part of the operator. The open
ing of a fire alarm box, says Chief
Hunt, is not difficult matter. All that
one has to do after breaking the glass
in the front of the little box which
contains the key, the latter being In
place, is to give the key a quarter turn
to the right, which releases the spring
lock and allows the door OF the box
to be opened, holding on the key
meanwhile. Even if the door should
stick it can be easily opened by
grasping the iron frame which holds
the glass in place on the key box, and
when the glass is broken out drops
down, and giving it pull. The trouble
some find in opening a box after they
have turned the key is that they let go
the key. which allows the lock to
spring back into place, and then try
to open the box, which is locked.

/ That the enforcement through
legal agencies of the principles of
eugenics. admirable as they are.
belongs. to q future ideal state of
society. and not to the imperfect
present, is the opinion of such
authorities as DIR. William Mabon:
superintendent of the Manhattan
state hospital and chairman of
the Medic Psychological associa-
tons committee which has stud
led the subject with scientific
care, and certainly without pre-
iudice against any practicable
schemes for race improvement.
The conclusions of the commit
tee were supported by the socie-
tons Il advocating clean bills Of
health" and "evidence of normal
mind" in candidates for marriage
licenses were emphatically re-
iected by it.
Like most reformers. the eu-
genists move too fast. They would
'remake a world over night. and
change the habits of a whole race
by writing law on the statute
books. Not, only would the course
which they advocate fail to ac-
.complish the purpose they desire.
but it would inevitably bring in
its train unnecessary suffering
and lawlessness. But this is not
to say that that their crusade will
accomplish no good. On the con-
trary. as DR.. Mabon says:
II do not think that, as educa-
ton Of the people continues. and
the lay public becomes more and
more familiar with the conse-
duence Of the marriage of unfit
persons. the health of a prospec-
tive husband or wife will exert a
more and more powerful influ-
.ence and that love will move with
in a narrower range and reason in
a wider"
It will be observed that Mr.. Ma
bon does not exclude love from
his highly educated. sensitive and
Observation-Disclosures So
ciety. He restricts its field some
what by extending the province of
reason. Nor is this a mere dream.
Most persons have knowledge
of cases in which strong passions
have been curbed and the natur-
al desires of those possessed by
them restrained through the op-

Grafton of realization of physi-s
cal or mental unfitness for their
.fulfillment. One Of DR.. Doyle's
stories is based. ON an incident Of
this nature. and we presume that
scarcely a medical man on the
roster is unacduainted with cases
of the kind.
What the Medio-Psychological
association has done is to ack-r
nowledge the impotency of law to
bring about a condition that can
be attained only through educa-
ton. If other societies would rec
ognize, as it does. that all pro-
gress is not measured by statu-
tory enactments. good many
mischievous laws would soon
cease to cumber the books: and
were the money expended in ef-
fectual efforts to enforce them
devoted to the cause of education
the advent of ideal conditions
might be brought appreciably
closer.
