Victor Hugo, made before the
French National Assembly at Bor-
was the ratification of the prelimi d.

following the humiliation of Sedan.
Hugo foretold how SOME day France
would arise from her ashes and take
revenge upon her foe.
"Then," he said, France will
suddenly arouse herself. She will
become formidable. She will regain
Alsace and Lorraine. 1t it enough?
No! No! She will capture-listen!--

START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT

Under the above caption the Or.
lando Reporter Star, newspaper
edited with conspicuous thouehtful-
ness, has the following which puts
with terse forcefulness and clearness
some modern truths which the mod
crn business man cannot afford to
ignore:
Some merchants start the new
year wrong by cutting out their ad /.
ycrtisinr. This is nothing new in
the experience of any newspaper
man who has had any experience.
There are some who regard adver
tlsing as an expenditure rather than
an Investment. The business man
who looks upon his advertising as
an investment rather than an eX
ppnsc is on the way to realize the
profits which come from well direct :
ed adycrtisin2. Tho time is past
when any ar-ument is left as to
whether advertising pays. The great
publications could not exist if it did
not pay. Business men DO not spend
hundreds OF thousands of dollars an
nually on advertising for the simple
qualification OF seeing their names
in print. They get returns. No
business that amounts to anything
can exist for long without advertis :
ing. 1t is necessity of the times.
Tho Rcporter-Star asks its advertis-
crs to think over the matter for
their own good Retrenchment be :
Gins and ends frequently by looping
off the advertising bill. John Wan
amaker, whose success he attributed
to advertising, followed the rule to
increase his advertising when bust :

certain legal regulations and re :

Gently, after an exhaustive debate of

That is all right, perhaps, for great
reforms move slowly and sometimes
don't move at all, but nevertheless
eugenics will come again and claim
its own. The millions of degener-
ates, detectives and criminals in the
world, most of them the helpless
victims of an unfortunate heredity,
are conclusive proof that there was
something wrong with the marriage
mating that produced them, and 1t
takes no deep scientific knowledge to
understand that a better regulation
of that mating would help correct
the evil. Eugenics is simply the
application of good sense and wise
precaution to the most important
thing in life, without interfering
with the beautiful sentiment of gen
uine love as distinguished from tenn
porary infatuation; and the time il
coming when its just influence will
be recognized, and as a consequence,
the world will have much less us
