WITH OTHER EDITORS
THAN OURS
BLOOD WILL TELL.
(Waco. -. News.l


II there be any among US who
doubt the power of heredity they
need only 10 read the dispatches
from Columbus, o.. which tells a
story OF SIS blood relatives confined
in penitentiaries, jails, infrmaries,
institutions for feeble-minded or in
dustriaI schools, TO be convinced.
This is a record Of an extensive
family of degenerates traced out
during the last year by the Ohio
juvenile research bureau. Mrs.
Mary Storer Kostir, a physchOlogical
investigator, assigned 10 the task
put in practically a year on il and
the results of her investigation are
conclusive.
The family. so far as the public
knows. is named "Mengold" and
lives principally in southeastern
Ohio and the lower Ohio river cOun-
ties of West Virginia. Five genera
tions OF the family have been chart
ed, including 474 individuals, and
definite data secured on 261 of these
shows the following condition of de-
generacy:
Sixty members of the family have
court room records, 10 have been in
jail. IA in the penitentiary, nine in
the infrmary, nine in children's
homes. six in the workhouse. two in
the girls industrial home. two in the
institution for feeble-minded and in

Seventy-seven are immoral. "A
criminals in varying degrees. SIS
feeble-minded. % alcoholic. u pub
lie women, seven ubercular, six
children adopted into other homes.
four subject TO epileptic fits, three
insane and three tramps.
Crimes of which they have been
convicted include burglary. larceny,
forgery, destruction Of property.
bootlegging, operating or being in
mates of immoral houses. intoxica-
ton. riot. perjury. various degen-
crate forms of assault, homicide,
shooting 10 Kill and attempting to
poison husband.
The mentality Of most degenerate
members of the family as deter
mined by the Binet test is that of
children between eight and IL years.
Most members are living at large,
marrying and producing large fam
lilies. One man, whom the juvenile
research Investigators call Jasper, is
in the Ohio penitentiary for a crime
against his daughters. one of whom
is in the Girls Industrial school at
Delaware.
Yet in spite of such revelations
there are those who poke fun at
eUgenics and scorn efforts to bring
about legislation seeking to prevent
the propagation of the feeble-mind-
ed. the idiotic, the insane and per-
sons of decided criminal bent We
admit that such a course could be
easily interpreted into violation of
some of the principles for which
some Of our fathers contended, but
we are convinced that this blunder
would not be as grave as that OF per
hitting such detectives to continue
to multiply their kind, contaminat-
ing. possibly the blood of others,
and increasing the burden upon So
ciety in caring for those who are
not competent to care for them
selves.
