A REFORMER GONE WRONG

Lyons, N. Y, Republican: If there is
one thing above another that is being dem
onstrated in this age it is the fact that the
most dangerous man in the republic is the
professional reformer. When a man feels
under the necessity of proclaiming his own
virtues and posing as reformer it is a sure
sign that there is something the matter with
his head and his heart. Being conscious of
his own faults he is afraid that his friends
and neighbors and the public will discover
them and so in order to conceal his own
faults and ward off suspicion he immediate
ly begins to preach about his own virtues
and the faults of others.
This is the moral motive and mental at
titude of the average reformer and they
have carried on this practice to such an ex-
tent and have exploited themselves so per-
sistently in the present age that they are
making the name of reform odious, and ev-
cry reformer is beginning to be looked up
on with suspicion.
When you see a reformer coming in
sight the only safe thing to do is clap your
hand on your pocket book.

A BLOW TO EUCENICS

At "better babies contest in Jersey
City the first prize was awarded to boy Il
months old, appraised by the judges to be
100 per cent perfect. The child is wait
cared for by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. The mother, a
former employee of the Jersey City Hospital,
has DISAPPEARED and we are told the Judges
have tried in vain to find her. So it is an
abandoned infant, left to society that aims
only to prevent cruelty, who triumphs over
loving hearts and happy homes.
1t is one more example of natures mock
cry of human reason, notable at this time
mainly because we are in the midst of an
extensive agitation for establishing official
medical and police regulation of marriage
as means of improving humanity.
By control of the breeding and of the en-
vironment of domestic animals we have
succeeded in achieving fairly sure control
of their offspring in certain physical as
poets. Upon the human race, however, all
efforts at artificial control have been vain.
In the palaces of kings weaklings are born,
while from founding asylums, where the
waits, and stray unwelcomed babes are
sent, there not infrequently comes forth the
strength of will and intellect that makes a
commander of men.
Science, art, culture. wealth and all the
thousand comforts and cares of civilization
may combine in household, the father
and mother may be all that father and
mother ought to be, but nature alone holds
mastery over the mystery of birth. She
mocks at rules and confers her favors as she
will.-N. Y. World.

The game was called by Superintendent
Williams of the Irvine factory who officiated
as umpire, taking up safe and sure posi-
ton behind the broad and brawny should
ers of the pitcher. His judgment through
out the game was faultless and he demon
strated his intimate knowledge of the rules
in deciding close plays and technical points
like an old time major Lacquer.

teams was as follows:
