We Want to call your 2articu-
lar attention to the stallion of b.
j. Nellie. Those who know the
Morgan and French stock know
something of the value of this
horse. He is an exceptionally
good animal of the Morgan and
French breeds, which in this
country make an all.round horse
that is hard to beat, while giving
something at the same time that
is tough and can get over the

this horse as he is being exer-

A Spreading Drought

The New York World has this
to say OF the prohi movemen in
the various states Mt the recent
election:
The dry" erea of the country
was apprcciably enlarged in the
Western local sections of Tues
day. A net gain of three coun-
ties in Illinois puts morA than
half tho counties on the side of
prohibition. No fewer than
thirteen of the sixteen counties
voting on the question in Michi-
gaa went dry" and reduced tie
wet territory" to less than half
the counties in that state. In
Wisconson the gains were all on
the side of no license, losses all
on the other side.
Prohibition is a movement of
few set-bacls and many advanc-
es. Locally it has expanded
from town-wide to countrywide
decisions, and from countrywide
decisions to statewide action is
logical step made the more easy
to take. Never before in the
United States has the liquor traf-
tic- been so widely illegalised Is it
is today.

WHERE TO BEGIN

WF1ERE TO BEGlN.-The millions
of Mrs. Hartman, rehct of the great
railroad promoter" assisted by 9TH
er millions of Rockefeller and Car
negie,- are to be devoted to steriliza-
ton of several hundred thousands of
American detectives" annually, as a
matter of eugenics.
1t is true that we don't yet know
all that the millions of our plutocracy
can do to the common folks. We see
that our moneyed plutocrats can own
the governments of whole states,
override constitutions, maintain pri-
vate armies to shoot down men,
women and children, and railroad in
nocent men to life Imprisonment for
murder, or lesser crimes. AMI if we
submit to such things, we ought not
to be surprised if they undertake to
sterilize all those who are obnoxious
to them. y
Of course, the proposition depends
much on who are to be declared de
fective."
The old Spartans. with war always
in view, used to destroy, at birth, boys
born with decided physical weakness.
Some of our present day eugenists go
farther and damn children before
their birth because of parents GRIM
inally inclined. Then we have eu-
genie detectives" in the insane and |
the incurably diseased. The PROPOSE |
ton is not wholly without justifca- |
ton But isn't there another sort of |
defective" who is quite as danger
Gus as any but whom discussion gen |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-10-08

orally overlooks, especially discus
sion by senile, long-hailed pathol-
ogists, and long-eared college pro-
fessors involved in the Hartman
Rockefeller scheme to sterilize?
A boy is born to millions He
either doesn't work, isn't useful,
doesn't contribute to human happi-
ness, is altogether parasite, or else
he works to add to his millions, with
the brutal, insane greed for more and
more that caused the accumulation
of the inherited millions. Why isn't
such the most dangerous defective"
of all? Why isn't the prevention of
more such progeny the first duty of
eugenics? Such detectives" direct
ly attack the rights, liberties, happi-
ness, lives of millions.
Talk about inheriting criminal
tendencies! If there a ranker case
of such than the inheritance of
Standard Oil criminality as evidenced
in the slaughter of mothers and their
babes at Ludlow?
, Sterilization of hundreds of thou
sands Of theSmasses, by the Harri-
mans and Rockefellers? Let's first
try out the detectives" of the sons of
Hartman and Rockefeller!
Let's first sterilize where steriliza-
ton will mean something immediate,
far reaching and thorough in the way
of genuine eugenics!- R. F. Paine.

BY S. 8. HUDDLESTON.

Three different men have claimed
the honor of digging up and wheeling
away the first dirt from the canal. The
first was a negro by the name of Win
slow; then it is claimed that Mr..
Pritchard, who cleared the right or
way, was the first; but the only rea-
sOnable conclusion for us to take IS
that Samuel Parker of COnnersV1lle,
who made the opening address that
stirred the enthusiasm OF the great
concourse of people on that great day
for Cambridge City-July %, 1S42--
was the only one man that we have
any reason to believe was ever entl-
tied to receive any honor for this
claim Now the old town east of the
river has lost about all it's enthusi-
asm for its own local promotion and
Vandalia is no more.
Runs First Boat.
The first boat, says Mr.. Davis, was
run on this canal in September, 1S45.
It's name was the Belle of Indiana.
John Lemon was its owner and cap
tain The G.. B. Seigs was owned and
run by Sam Widner, who also owned
another boat named the Wayne. The
Nick Longworth was owned and run
by Samuel Stevens. The Brilliant was
owned by its captain Alex. Crawley,
The Rover was owned by an esteemed
citizen of Cambridge City, John
Adams, its captain. The L. S. Mail
was a swift. easy running boat owned
by George Parsons, with himself and
sometimes Jack Smith as captain. The
Crawley made more trips through to
Hagerstown than any other boat. 1t
was owned and captained by Alex.
Crawley. The Hagerstown canal was
of short life. but as a race for the
Conklin, now Creitz, mill. it has been
a continued success, The Mayflower
and the Fly were owned and run by
August Boden and his sons.
None of the boatmen were owners
or stockholders in the canal. They
paid toll for each one-way trip. From
