Eueenic Legislation Premature.

Quincy Wing: The amateur eug.
enisis, who are rejoicing at the de-
cision of the courts that the Wisconsin
eugenics marriage law is constitu-
t!onal, should remind themselves that
there is a great difference between a
statute which it was within the power
of the legislature to enact and law
which will accomplish the purpose
sought by its promoters. One of the
speakers before the convention of the
Eugenics Research association ex.
pressed the opinion of many able and
conscientious Investigators when he
said that medical men do not know
enough about heredity, the causes OF
feeble mindedness and similar things
to warrant law makers in passing any
radical statutes dealing with marriage
Every reform has to pass through
the stages Of investigation, education
and legislation, and according to ex-
perts, the matter of eugenics is still
in the early stage of investigation.
Law makers ought, therefore, to let
the whole subject alone for a while
longer, 1t is argued.
knowledge and correction of most
evils come only through agitation
Many laws which cannot be enforced
are nevertheless good because they
stand as expression of the public
sence and set the moral standpoint.

Daily Stock Letter.

copyright, 1914, by the New York
Evening Post.I
NEW YORK, July 13.-The sharp
break in prices on the stock exchange
this afternoon occurred when the in
terstate commerce commission report
on New Haven was published. That
document was very much what has
been expected, and in itself should
scarcely be taken as a logical cause
for weakness in the market. 1t may
in fact be doubted whether the move
ment in the stock exchange was far
more in the nature Of a speculative
attack on prices lin which an effort
was made to use the New Haven re-
port as an unsettling inf1uence) than
a reflection of any real existing un-
settlement The selling was decided
ly the most active in important
stocks; several Of which, in the two
closing hours Of business, declined !
to points. There was little general
news. Advices from the crop belt
were Of a sort to discourage believers
in the current midsummer crop
scares; IN rain fell in parts of the
corn belt, c. which the worst reports
have been circulated, ana seekers at
ter the rumored omnipresent BLACK
rust" in the northwestern wheat belt
were unable to verify the stories. The
London market, after early weakness.
recovered rather sharply. Paris kept
a holiday.

FIND OUT ABOUT
RACE ON COOPER
Manager Towne Getting In communi-
cation With Crew Managers
Following Statement
by conIbear.
TO SHOW UP ADVANTAGES
One Of These Is no Current In Lake
and Other 10 Fine Chance
for specta-
tors.

Steps are being taken by Manager
Towne to get in touch at once with
all OF the eastern and western collie
giate crews. following the statements
by Coach Conibear Of Washington
that Lake Cooper would be an ideal
Place to hold the regattas. The In
dustrial association is acquainting the
coaches and crew managers of the ad-
vantage Of this vicinity for the rae
ing over the present courses in the
east.
For one thing the Lake Cooper
course is ideal for the fact that there
is practically no current to prove a
handicap for the crew out Of 1t and
aid for the crew in it. This is the
main criticism of the Hudson course.
There is current which Is OF big help
to the crew which draws the middle
position.
The railroad line paralleling the
lake at all points and the two flne
lake shore drives which furnish prac-
tically clear view OF the lake at all
times are other reasons for this course
being ideal for the holding of the
races. It would be possible to build
the grandstand seats on the fiat cars
and allow people to have view OF
the course at all times, instead OF
having to watch the race for few
yards, and then be rushed around a
curve and wait for the shells to come
up.
And there is every chance that Keo-
kuk could take care Of the crews and
their followers, and all the people
who would be attracted here. The
grounds at Wild Cat Springs on the
Illinois shore and at Prices Creek on
the Iowa shore would furnish excel
lent facilities for taking care of the
crews.
Manager Towne Is writing to the
various crew managers to find out
just what will be required for the
races here.
