DETECTIVES AND HUMANITY,

The action of DR.. H. J. Haiselden
+ of Chicago in refusing to perform
surgical operation for the purpose of
saving the life of a defective infant
has brought acutely before the people
the problem of what to do with our
detectives. 1t is the burning issue
of the day, the theme of discussion
by millions upon millions of people
throughout the civilized world.
When born the child was in this
condition: It had but one ear; it
had no neck, the base of the skull
being about even with it's shoulders;
one side was paralyzed; it had a
curved spine; on the left side it had
double kidney connected to the
bladder by one tube; on the right
side it had no kidney; there was no
opening to the lower intestine; it's
stomach was dilated; its thighs were
abnormally large; it had hemorr-
hage in the spinal canal, indicating
an injury or diseased condition
of the blood vessels; there was no
passage way to the missing ear; it's
brain was apparently normal, with
the exception of hemorrhage on the
left side.
The performing of simple opera
ton would have saved the life Of this
child. But the surgeon, knowing the
future that would await it, refused
to operate. A coroner's jury, con-
sisting of a number of the most noted
physicians in Chicago, found that he
acted strictly within his rights and
within the ethics of the medical pro-!
fession. :4tU
;" Was this doctor human being
with great heart, who refused to
prolong the life of this child and
thereby condemn it to an existence
of helpless misery? Or was he
criminal in his refusal to perform an
operation that meant life, though
that life be worse than death?
Hardly a day passes but we read
of a crime committed by some person
who is later proven to have been a
defective from birth. There is no
punishment for such. They must be
committed to an institution for the
rest of their days, or be permitted
to run at large and continue to be
menace to all people with whom they
come in contact.
Many of these defective people
grow to maturity, and marry, and
bring other detectives into the world.
The world is full of them, and hui
mainly is becoming more morally de-
PRAYED and mentally warped every
day. Europe in particular is de-.
luged with them in high places,
brought about by the pernicious sys-
tenn Of inter MARRIAGE and Europe is
drowning in a sea Of blood and de-
struction. &
What are we to do with our de-
receives! Are we TO nurture them
and send them forth into the world
to breed other detectives, to serve, as
a canker in the mentality and NOR
atty Of mankind? Or should they
be allowed to slip back into the mys-
terry from whence they came? Ha9ac
-'A We correct the mistakes of nature
in all other respects by removing the
menace in time. -
But what are we to do with regard
to- the greatest Of all menances'eto
future generations? = at va
" What viii the future Of our race
be if they are allowed to grow and
propagate, and cover the land with
the ever-increasing accidentaF bfights
of nature?

< CORRECTION

In the previous report of an inter- view with one of the returned delegat- es from Little Rock convention of the Arkansas Federation of Women s clubs a typographical error together with the confusion of telephone trans mission caused enc paragraph so be more amusing than intelligible.
 The correct version follows: "The convention program was a yer itable feast, with the lectures and re- ports substantial diet The music a delectable relish, Mrs. Percy Penny backer president G. F. w. C., an fires istable entree, while the ices and hints of the social favors were most refreshing as the finale of every ses. sion."
 Some of the prominent men of our state who addressed the convention were Dean Miller cf the Extension De partment of the University; Hon. J. l.. Bond, supervisor of rural education, Durand Whipple, whose address was on the Menace of the Predetermined; Carl J. Baer, secretary chamber Of commerce and Mayer Taylor, ce Little Dean Miller -"Productiveness is an essential part of the plan of crea- tiem, as is formed the partnership of man with the Creator"
 "The curse of debt is a menace to prosperity in the South, our share in the burden collective a public duty to help alleviate unfortunate condition of the individual"
 Hon. J. L. Bond emphasized the inn pCrtance of the compulsory attend ance school law. He said the excuse on ground of dependence for support was not humane-that every child should have the right to an education under any and all circumstances.

GIRL IS MURDERED
Fearing Lynching, Officers Rush Step-
 Father to Unknown Hiding Place.

Walnut Ridge, Nov. Miss Bettie Burleson. IS, was murdered and her head severed from the body about noon today in a cotton field. Her stepfather, Will Dobbs, 25, who was with her at the time, is being held by the sheriff in some secret place pend ing the outcome of the coroner's in- quest. Feeling ran high here tonight and threats of lynching are free heard on the streets
 Dobbs declared he was in the field picking cotton with the girl when 3 masked men came across the field and attacked them. Dobbs todd neighbors that he fought the masked men and then escaped, but was unable to assist his stepdaughter, who, he says, was attacked by one of the men with a large pocket knife. Immediately after wards he notified neighbors and led them to the spct where the body was found. Bloodhounds were brought here from Popular Bluff. The only trail they followed was made by Dobbs. Dc'bbs told his story and the sheriff took him into custody No formal charge was made against him, but he is held pending investigation. It is not known where he was taken.
 Armed Men Pursue Officers.
 A report reached here late this aft ernoon from the scene of the murder that the sheriff and his deputies rush. ed Dobbs from the Rhea's farm vicin- ity, where the murder took place, to the jail at Jonesboro, a distance of about 15 miles,
 A telephone message frctn Jones' boro tonight, however, said the party had not arrived there It was said that soon after leaving the Rhea's farm mob of residents of that con- munity gathered and pursued the sheriff and his prisoner so hotly that the officer was forced to change his route as well as his destination Moth ing has been heard from him tonight It is believed, however, that he is hid . ing out somewhere in the river bot toms.
 It is said tonight that an examinat- ion will be made of the body of the dead girl to ascertain if she was in delicate condition. Officers are inves- tigating this as probable motive.

SILOAM SPRINGS MAN
 GETS BACK HEALTH

John M Roach of Sloan Springs, Ark, was long a sufferer from stom- ach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun-- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by Ia grippe. He was congested, unhappy. nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van- ished. He wrote:
 "When your trial treatment was received I was getting better on an- other treatment, so I deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of lagrippe came upon me. Previously I have had to just wear out such attacks. I thought this a good test. I took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and I have felt like a. new man ever since
 Mayr's Wonderful remedy gives per manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure or gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get , one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee-if not satisfactory money will be returned. Advertisement No. 2

 Mr. Asquith referred to the small coterie of professional whimperers which kept the enemies supplied daily with diet of falsehoods
 The government, he said, had no ln- terest in concealing anything, subject to the one overriding consideration that it's disclosure would not assist Great Britain's enemies.
