Ino return or NGFSaTel oauBeI tO New York where prosecution awaits her for writing pamphlet on the tabooed subject of birth control entitled Family Limitation finds conditions somewhat changed since the death of Anthony Com0tock. Dr. Sanger, her husband, was fined one hundred and fifty dollars with an aiterno tive of thirty days in jail which he promptly accepted for giv- ing to an agent, at the lattor's re- quest, a copy of his wife's book after Comstock's man had persist eatly urged him to do so. in order to prosecute him. When he an- nouncod his decision of going to jail rather than pay cent of fine, the entiro court room vigorously ap- piaudcd him.
 Sanger was denied trial by jury twice, and when applause broke out the judge, M'Inerny, ordered the court cleared.
 The dispatch says:
 1t was we'll dressed crowd deadly serious over the issue in- velved Anthony Comstoc;l and Charles BamDerger were the witnesses who testified against San ger. Bamberger called at the office Of" Dr. Sanger, represented himself as a man named A. Heller, a poor man with too large a family.
 He sought aid of Mrs. Sanger's that it might get him into trouble; "Heilor' persisted and thcreupon Sanger gave him a copy of the book Agents of Comstock descended upon Sanger's office and seized five more copies of his wife's work.
 The audience included numerous members of the Birth Control I.eaguc including Mrs. Amos Pin chot.
 T;,er9 arc two ciassoS of people ia this country who have widely se- parated opinions on this very sub- Ject, ono set believes in families be- isg as large as t is possible for tnem tc be. Births and more births are constantly urged and women are regarded somewhat after the man, mar of brood mares in tho estima- tion of such as these. Any ether concept is regarded as highly i'm moral, highly indecent and dis tinetly obscene. The sex relation is a topic that should be discussed il classes flor men only, and prudery rules the roost, with the warm blush of shame delicatoly mantling thf check of the purist who is unwont caly excited by discussion with aay freedom on such subject as eugenics.
 Now all know about this subject and all talk about this subject, bu, tn very ignorant and very nis leading way. And this ignorance has led to more disease and more suffering and more deaths than any other neglected matter in nature. The other class are out and out Nal thusionists., They believe that where health requirements demand sterili ty, sterility should obtain, ant where poverty prohibits tho proper raising of a large family a large ia mily should be decently out of tht question.
 As usual prominent and powerful people are found on both sides q this sex and this family question and for entirely different reasons And alco as usual the law eaters t both and in an entirely differen manner

 It,sis therefore certainly natura that the families of the very poo should betif possible restricted with in such limits as will secure to th progeny in some fashion prope anaintenance, whon that progeny
