EucENIcs TOMMY ROT HANDED a
PACKAGE.

From a Kansas livestock breeder, j.
G. Mitchell OF Lafontaine, Kan, comes
a most unusual contribution on the
subject OF eugenic marriage. Mr.. ~Mit-
chell offers his Views in response te
an appeal by DR.. Edward Anthony Spftz

sically."
Here is what the Kansas breeder
has to say:
Taking hogs for example, the only
thing we have succeeded in doing Is
fastening their maturity and shorten
ing their lives; by unnatural breeding
and feeding they take on an unatural
fat. lose all the health and brains
they possess in a natural state, 50
much so that in many cases they don
have enough sense to own their pigs
"Of course, a famous anatomist look
ing at bunch OF fat hogs might jump
to the conclusion that 1t would be fine

Uniformity Of Breed.
1.-THE uniformity of breed comes
from what is called prepotency. This
can be obtained no other way than
by lire breeding. And now III tell
you what hne breeding iS A pair
of animals of the same form and DIS
position are mated together. the best
female from this litter is then mated
with her father and the best male
with his mother. When these' little
fellows arrive, the best male from
one litter is mated with the best re-
male of the other litter. When this
litter comes on the scene of action
the best females are taken back ana
mated with the old grandpa; then you
begin to get prepotencY.
Advice to Young Men.
ut is perhaps a little out of the
way for an old farmer with seven chill
dren of his own to talk of love, but my
advice to any young man is: If you hap
pen to run across girl that you love,
you marry her! No matter what any
doctor or preacher or your own folks or
her folks say. II she is willing, marry
her. If you have to run away with her

NOT TRUE. OF COURSE.

and so do you, that every people mas
the right to determine its own form
Of government. 1t Is none OF
my business and 1t is none of your bust
ness how long they take in determin-
ing IT, 1t is none of my business and
none of yours how they should go about
the business. The country Is theirs.
The government is theirs. The liberty,
If they get it--and God speed them in
getting it's theirs. So far as any
influence goes while / am president,
nobody shall interfere with them.
n Have. not the European ma
tions taken as long as they wanted and
split as much blood as they wanted in
settling their affairs? And shall we
deny that to Mexico because she is
weak? No. l say"
These are the humane and memorable
words of the president of the United
States spoken solemnly to the nation
through the medium of his Jackson day
speech at Indianapolis Mexico, 1t is
clear, is none Of our business. We
will wait watchfuliy.
Yet, in view of the recent startling
reports of anarchy and starvation at
Mexico, there is talk about more ulti-
matums to Carranza and everybody
concerned.
But 1t must be untrue that the un-
ruffled calm of the president and his
non-firing secretary of state Is dis
turbed. Not true.
For has not Mexico the sovereign
right to spill it's own blood in its own
way and starve everybody to death
who gets in the way OF any murderous
bandit who raises the aegis of liberty ?

NEIGHBOUR OBLIGATION AND
PERFORMANCE,

Oregondan: Mexico is our American
Belgium We send millions in money
and food to the unhappy and ruined
people OF the war-torn kingdoms of
Europe. but we strut our eyes and close
our ears to the piteous plight of the
fifteen millions of poor Mexicans at our
elbow
They ask for help, and we read them
a peace tract; they ask for protection,
and we turn our backs on them; they
cry for bread, and we load a hundred
ships and dispatch them to Europe.
We pay pleasing tribute to our own
national elf-complacence when we give
and give and give; but we shirk our
plain duty when we refuse to act. sole
~ because Mexico's stroubles are not
ours, but. theirs. So are Belgium's.
Mexico goes from bad to worse, be-
cause all outlaw Mexicans know we will
not raise restraining hand, and that
we deliberately intend that they shall
be left to welter in their own hood.
Yet there is no hope for Mexico until
we interfere, or penunit some other ma
ton to interfere.
Yes, we have avoided performing a
and costly task in Mex
ico but are peace and self-content,
achieved through avoidance of plain
duty, worth the price we pay and must
continue to pay?

"NEVER TETCH frp

Before our learned senators spend
any more time wrangling over bills
changing the places of sittings of the
supreme court, 1t might be well for
them to look up the constitution of the
state and consult its provisions. They
probably do not know. but it Is fact
that the constitution provides that the
supreme court must meet at Boise and
Lewiston. An additional place for hold
ing court might be provided, but until
the constitution Is changed they are
wasting their time trying to move the
fittings from Lewiston to Occur d.

within and without his party were Civ
ing their mosts effective thrusts, the
great war came to compel the nation
to stand united behind its chief ex-
ecutive. All except those foreign

To bolster up his false ideas of econ

Gov Alexander 1t would seem, is will
ing to go TO the extreme point of mis-
representing facts and to even make

in Senator Sweets speech last Sunday
In the senate which Is published in

The figures regarding Idaho county's
road and bridge levy to the senate
when the bin asking for the appropri-
alton for the Whitebird bridge was up
for passage. The senate accepted the
figures as true and passed the bill by
an Overwhelming majority, as did also

figures to Gov. Alexander showing that
Idaho county for the year 1918 levied
$S6, 1900 for roads and bridges. be-
sides the heavy private contributions
made for that purpose by the citizens.
The governor in his effort to justify
his veto OF the bridge bill, states in
his message that Idaho county raised
only $5,0sS.41 in 1918 for roads and
bridges, while Clearwater, Gilmore and
