Let 1t Go Via Meridian.

a petition was circulated this
week to continue the new state
highway from the Niday corner
straight north instead Of coming
the half mile through Meridian
and turning west at the Interur-
baE corner SOUTH west of town. A
counter petition was circulated the
next day asking that the road be
left as it was established by the
state board.
There seems to be a misunder-
standing with some as to the OBJ.
ject Of the state and national high
ways. While it will give farmers
a good road to town. it also means
a convenience for interstate traffic
and necessarily passes through as
many centers Of population as is
possible. On the other hand, the
counties are expected to build and
maintain good highways. TO enable
the farmers to get to the trading
centers, aud recently Ada county
has voted 100000 in bonds fol
this purpose. The road north Of
town will be fixed up this year
whether it is on the state highway
or not, and this should not be
allowed to jeopardize the chance
Of Meridian in getting the state
highway.

wedIock is characterized In the last
analysis, asserts the Mittgart Bund and
its founder, the greater part Of the misery
on earth is traceable to modern married
life. The degeneration of honor, morals,
duty. modesty, self-control. cooperation.
truthfulness and fidelity" rs declared to be
evidence of racial decline.
Doctor Hentschels scheme for checking
this condition of the human race far out
does the "Eugenics." That is, temporary,
short term or trial marriages between
women who want to become mothers of
the new race" and superior men" 1t is
the theory of Doctor Hentschel, in proof
of which history and analogy are cited,
that all the superior qualities come from
the father and seldom from the mother.
To regenerate the race IL Is necessary,
therefore, according to Doctor Hentschel
and the Mittgart Bund, that superior
men, that Is, men of superior morals, IN
tellect and physique-in short great men
in any line-should have the opportunity
to become fathers of many children.
The children will be raised and edu-
Gated by the society until the time comes
when the State will do that. The wife
devotes herself to her child for three
years before she is allowed to marry
takes another wife.
Much attention to physical training de-
velopment in children will be given in the
Garden" Little stress is laid on higher
education" Boys and girls are to be
reared in Spartan simplicity" Boys are
to be taught self-contro! and to become
accustomed to pain that they may be-
come courageous. From ten years on
boys are to carry small swords, in the
use OF which they will be trained. Ar
bitration courts of honor and unwritten
law will deal out Justice in the new Eden.
When they fail, the sword in the hands
of the best man, according to ancient
knighty custom, will decide.
Lack of necessary finances" said DR..
Hentchel, has SO far prevented the prac-
teal carrying out of the Mittgart plans.
We have about 100 members, but mostly
persons of small means. There Is no lack
of men with great qualifications. The
problem Is the money question and to
find some one or more who will finance
such a colony as we plan. More difficult
is the woman question Only few, cour
ageous and independent of view and judg
ment, have Joined u.s.

DR.. Willibald Hentschel, head of the
"Ilttgart Bund," of Germany, is looking
for such man. Aside from the reward
In Heaven and the niche In the Hall Of

to have his reward in this life. He can

and DIR. Hentschel for which philan-

sought If the financier wants to give
the new Eden a start out of purely
motives there Is no objec-
tion. 1t is estimated that $4,000 would
be sufficient to establish and maintain
the proposed Eden for some years. The
"bund" also is looking for a site for the
human garden" where 1t can rear a race
of children unsurpassed for beauty,
strength, intellect and wisdom, and who
are to become the regenerating elements
of the human race and the hope of the

vention of the "Mittgart Bund" by his
plan for rearing noble human beings"
The scheme called for what he charac-
terized human garden" with 100 men
the elect of Germsny-and 200 women.
1t is Dr. Hentschers idea that places
must be established where by course
of selectivity a serious and earnest scien-
tific attempt must be made to rear noble
human beings as regeneratlng and renew
ing elements which alone can cheek what
he declares to be the steady deterioration
and degeneration of the human race.
As originally planned, 1t was proposed
to have the site Of the new Eden some
where In Germany, the founders being
patriotic en- odgh to want to furnish the
first "regenerating elements" to the Ger
man race. But the Germans apparently
do not want to be regenerated. In a
letter to The Sun correspondent, DR..
Hentschel writes that two things are
holding back the realization of the "hu-
man garden" and it's benehts-mou"y ara
women. Men, he says, can readily be
had in sufficient number to start the
garden
Failing to find a suitable site in Ger
many and as the foreign press has
treated the scheme with far more dig
nifty and seriousness than had the Ger
man press, DR.. Hentschel said that the
"bund" was looking abroad for II suitable
place In which to start the new Eden
where the unhappness of married life
Is to find solution In long series CT
brief trial marriages." representa-
tive of the "bund" was sent to the Ar
gentne and another to Sweden, but they
were not much impressed by the prospects
there. A site somewhere in the United
States would be far preferable. The
'bund" is still open to the consideration
of land grants or propositions for suit
able location for the human garden" DR..
Hentschel also would like to have some
of the wealthy Americans who free Y givn
their money away for various purposes
finance the Eden"
According to "Mittgart" ideas, two
curses rest upon modern society modern
marriage and modern city life. The first,
as shown by the insane asylums, prisons
and idle rich, brings into life much that Is
worthless, useless and destructive, and
hinders the race from reaching its high
est development. City life Is the "cal-
dron" and furnace" which devours the
best that comes from the farming COM

after his student days in Germany, be-
came first teacher then an author on
religious themes, and then q professor
OF German literature in Harvard Univer-

young Americans going over to Germany,
full Of intellectual enterprise, to see
what they could learn there of letters,
science and art; to study the educational
institutions of Germany In the hope of
bringing home good educational seed

The American pioneers in Germany dur
Ing the first half of the 10th CEN
tury brought back various knowledges,
various skills and many pregnant doc
trlnes. The variety of knowledge and
skill which could be procured at the Ger
man universities at that early day was
something astounding TO these American
youths, something indescribably rich and
various. With their own personal ex-
periences and gains they brought back
also to America the structure of the
modern German university, then young
in Germany and in America not yet con-
ceived of. They had, moreover, absorbed
that noble German policy of academic
freedom. freedom for the student and
the teacher alike. This academic free
dom meant emancipation from tradition
and prejudice, and from authority,
whether governmental or ecclesiastical
They saw, also, how two great doctrines
which had sprung from the German
Protestant Reformation had been devel-
oped by Germans from seed then planted
in Germany. The first was the doctrine
of universal education, developed from
the Protestant conception OF individual
responsibility; and the second was the
great doctrine of civic liberty, liberty in
in society, in government
liberty with order under law. These two
principles took their rise in Protestant
Germany: and America has been the
greatest beneficiary of that noble teach
ing.
The pioneers from New England in the
first half of the 10th century have been
followed by a stream of American youth,
