WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS

Life is getting to be too comn,,.
Gated for the use Of narcotics said
Dr. 5. r. Kramer, the noted surgeon.
IN a recent address at the Ricketts
research Laboratory, Cincinnati. "Tbe

friends would put him in the buggy

with automobiles. We know that
most OF the automobile accidents are
after dinners where alcohol has been
served and that not always in ex.

After describing the effects Of a,co.

the celebrated actor was more i'm.

man If he would want his chauffeur

Will tell you that the drinking motor

These men are like the court testers
The fact is that the higher centers
are off the job. The governor is not
acting and the engine runs wild.
That is all.

is instruction about the destructive

JOHN eARl.EYcoRN SENTENCED.

In pronouncing sentence on over
one hundred men, including the mayor
of Terre Haute, Ind, for conspiracy
in election frauds, Judge Anderson Of
the United States district court passed
sentence as well on John Barleycorn.
He said: my notion is that the
saloon will have to go. believe that
the time will come when the people
will rise up and smash the saloon, at
least as we have it now. The evil
dence in this case showed that the
saloons we're the center of nearly all
the corruption in the election at Terre
Haute."

The county Jail at Georgetown Is

EASTERN KNOCKERS AGAINST
IDAHO. CALLED.

The Butte Miner. one of the leading
papers of our sister state, comes val
iantly to the defense of Idaho against
the slurring arrogancy of one OF the
prominent down-eastern journals, in
the following effective manner:
There Is great merit to the plant
of many western publications that
some of the prominent eastern jour-
nails and newspapers speak OF the
west and western affairs either In a
slunring, patronizing or ignorant way
that is very annoying, to say the least
The west resents the attitude OF the
east in regarding the west as the
provinces.
And there is an overwhelming
amount of truth in the assertion that
when 1t comes to pEovincialism. ig-
norance of national affairs and sur
prisang indifference to what the en-
tire nation Is doing, and hopes to ac-
complish, some OF those big eastern
cities are astonishingiy backward.
Another offense is challxed up

tion because of a most sighting. un-
called for and untrue statement at re-

The reference to idaho as an 'unim-

RIGHT LIVING; RIGHT THINKING.

The logic OF a woman ought to COM
pei DR.. kellogg and other advocates
OF race bettement through eugenics to
dig up a more substantial argument says
the Boise Statesman. DR.. Kellogg recent
ly declared that this nation was build
ing up ian aristocracy Of lunatics, i'd
lots. paupers and criminals" and pre-
scented figures showing the plumber m
each class. His idea was that 1t Is
possible through eugenics to produce a
race of ApoHos and venuses.
The New York woman to whom ref
erence Is made brands eugenics as one
OF the greatest snares in modern
thought" She says there Is but one
highway for Improvement to the race
and that Is right living and right think
ing. Her idea is that moral degener-
acy Is not a child Of physical degener-
acy but its producer. "Clean thought
and healthy habits in parents will new
err produce cripple or a degenerate"
she says
She goes on to state that If there
were more kindness in the family cir
Gle and II less burden were placed upon
women bearing and nursing children the
cause for the condition narrated by DIR.
Kellogg would be largely removed.
She also attacks the theory OF saving
children by making them old and wise
before their time and declares 1T Is un-
wise to explain natural facts before the
mind Is sufficiently adapted. The
child mind Is no more adapted to the re-
ception of such information than 1t is
to the rules Of higher mathematics.
The theory that the body Is only
the expression of the mind has more
logic behind 1t than anything the eu-
genie advocates have presented. II
one takes the opposite view 1t must
also be conceded that good example is
less to be desired than an empty SER
mon.
There is little question that IL the
parents are orderly. kind and industri-
Gus and avoid excuses they will raise
but few mdolent and criminal children.
We cannot get too close to Utopia in
race betterment, but we should have
care not to place obstacles to our
progress to that end by the adoption
of fallacdes and the rejection of known
conditions and practical solutions.

plying the lace and gold buttons.
It has been many years since DR..
Thomas II. Huxley first gave TO the
world his ideas of the course the ed
ucation OF a child should take. His
theory and arguments were unanswer-
able but the leading educators and the
schools refused to adopt them with
an obstinacy that was as stupid as
II was vicious. Roughly DR.. Huxley
held that child should be taught: ~
how to preserve his life and health;
90 how to make a living for himself
and family; (3) how to be a good cit
izen OF the. state; "a the attainment
OF those accomplishments and that
knowledge which means a fun and COM
plete life. He should be taught these
things in the rough order In which they
are named. 1t Is almost needless to
state that up until the last few years
education has meant the requirement
OF smattering OF this and that frill
which distinguishes the Idle from the
useful. The teachers of the past were
learned in the lore Of antiquity. The in
trigues of tabled heroes were matters OF
consummate interest to them, while
the comedy. tragedy and romance Of
real persons In actual life were I'M
worthy OF serious thought. 1t was
more important, In their mind to be
able to aptly quote Latin phrase than
to make living or rear family. Spec
ulation on the theories OF Plato took
the place OF observation on the activ-
titles of the government.
1t can be tnuthfully said that real
progress has been made in spite of
rather than the result of schools.

TRYING TO MEND a FAILURE.

Quiet but active preparations are be-

congress to revise the Underwood tar
iff law. which they appreciate. although
they win not admit dt, rs a failure both
as a protection measure and asia reve-
nue. producer. The excuse given for revis
ing the more radical reductions made
by the Underwood law will be the need
of increased revenues. The deficit for
this fiscal year beginning July 1, ex-
elusive of expenditures for the Panama
canal, Is already nineteen million five
hundred thousand dollars, as against a
deficit of eight hundred thousand dol
lars for the same period last year.
It Is perfectly evident to economists
that only the European war has saved
this country from the direst financial
conditions. and that had the millions
Of men now slain or fighting on the

farms at the wages which customarlly

must come to an end and the millions
Of soldiers will return to their nor

try then be found with no protection
other than is afforded by the Under

would result. There are some Demo-
Gratis who deplore that their party

in position intelligently to advise the
leaders what tariff changes should be
made.-Statesman.

season. Notwithstanding the fact that
a number OF farmers throughout the
country and particularly In that sec

500 acres Mr.. watson had less than
five acres down.
