Prosperity at Last.

There Is no longer any doubt
of the return of prosperity. Our
old friend is with as again. He
Is not here In great chunks, with
bags full of shimmeriug gold,
and automobiles fer everybody,
but the old boy has brought a
steady increase in the volume OF
business, and a relaxation in the
money markets, and a renewed
confidence in business circles and
in the agricultural districts.
Men of all classes are loosen
ing their purse strings, money is
on a hunt for investment, en-
ployers are taking on more men,
and the wheels of industry are
humming at a more rapid rate
than for many months past.
Merchants report increased
sales and easier collections, buy
ers are selecting better and more
expensive articles, and spirit of
relief and confidence is in evil
deuce everywhere.
There are bright spots ahead
for the future. Let's all steer
for them and keep head and eyes
to the front.

Detectives and
Humanity.

The action of DR.. H. ]. Haisel-
den of Chicago in refusing to
perform a surgical operation for
the purpose of saving the life OF
defective infant has brought
acutely before the people the
problem of what to do with our
detectives. 1t is the burning Is
sue of the day, the theme OF dis
cussion by millions upon millions
of people throughout the civiliz-
ed world.
When born the child was in
this condition: 1t had but one
ear; it had no neck, the base OF
the skull being about even with
its shoulders; one side was para
lyzed; it had a curved spine; on
the left side it had a double kid
ney connected to the bladder by
one tube; on the right side it
had no kidney; there was no
opening to the lower intestine;
| its stomach was dilated; its thighs
we're abnormally large; it had a
hemorrhage in the spinal canal,
indicating an injury or a dis
eased condition of the blood yes
sells; there was no passage way
to the missing ear; its brain was
apparently normal, with the ex-
ception of a hemorrhage on the
left side.
The performing of a simply
operation would have saved the
life of this child. But the sur
geon, knowing the future that
would await it, refused to oper-
ate. A coroner's jury, consist
ling of number of the most not
ed physicians in Chicago, fouad
that he acted strictly within his
rights and within the ethics OF
the medical profession.
Was this doctor a human be-
ing with a great heart, who re-
fused to prolong the life of this
child and thereby condemn it to
an existence of helpless misery?
Or was he a criminal in his re-
fusul 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 CON-
United to an institution for the
rest of their days, or be permitt-
ed to run at large and continue
to be a 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 humanity is becoming
more morally depraved and men,
tally warped every day. Europe
in particular is deluged with
them in high places, brought
about by the pernicious system of
inter marriage, and Europe is
drowning in a sea of blood and
destruction.
What are We to Go with our
detectives? Are We to nurture
them and send forth into the
world to breed other detectives,
to serve as a canker in the men
tally and morality of mankind?
Or should they be allowed to
slip back intO the mystery from
whence they came?
We correct the mistakes OF
nature in all other respects by
reuoVing't the menace in time.
But what are We to do with re-
gard to the greatest of all mem
aces to future gsueratiOus2
What will the future of our
race be il they are allowed to
grow and propagate, and cover
the land with the ever increasing
