sary to attain it, and there is enough
and more for all who will come after
It. It is not melted out in broken
doses. but in large quantities to the
man who wills to succeed, 1t is not
a supply that will be exhausted by
having some taken away, but is one
that grows larger the more men sue
coed. II is the success Of ones neigh
bors that makes one succeed, and the
prosperity Of all makes the commune
ty, state or nation prosperous. Hard
times and failures on the part Of our
neighbors cause US to feel the shock,
We can not get away from the fact
that man is a social creature and SYM
pathetic; that he reflects the feelings
Of others. So why knock your neigh
bors? Why try to injjure them il
business? You may succeed and gel
revenge II that is what you are after
but in doing so you injure yourself
for what Injuries the part must by the
laws Of nature injure the whole.

WHICH?

The science Of eugenics which has
caused much widespread discussion in
recent years, and which has received
considerable number Of converts,
while no doubt sound in principle and
helpful il put into practice TO a mod.
crate degree, might prove very inju-
rious to the human race IL carried to
an extreme.
Some months ago, we remember
that a Chicago baby was permitted to
die because to live meant life Of hor.
ror for 1t, and a burden on its family,
when an operation could have saved
its life. Public opinion was divided at
that time as to the Justice OF the view
taken by the doctor who permitted
the child to die to save il from suffer.
Ing, but the majority of the people
sanctioned his action. In that partic-
ular instance, we believe the right
thing was done. but the danger we.
are likely to fall into Is to carry the
principle to extremes. Scrupulous
persons will not, but this furnishes an
excuse or DreteXt for INSCRIPTIONS
persons to act in cases where such
action would not be justified.
Human life is a very dear thing and
should not be sacrificed without good
cause. Some Of the most useful per.
sons that have ever lived, those who
have achieved great things. are among
the number Of physically deformed
beings. So II this principle adopted
by the Chicago doctor and accepted
by many Of the best thinking people
of the United States, is to be carried
out It must be done with care, The
question to he answered is, which Is
the better, to rid the world Of a life
doomed to continual suffering, or to
let II live and do its part, whatever
IT may be-to accept the lot given II

LET THE PEOPLE EXPRESS
THEMSELVES.

IT seems as if everybody in Arcadia
Is now in favor Of bond issue for
street improvements, the only ques.
tion being how much"
The little city Of Barlow is one Of
the hest paved cities we have seen, and
our understanding is that this was
done at cost Of 100000 to the city.
If we can get that much in addition
to what property holders would be re-
quircd to do the paving would cover
the city pretty we'll 100000 would
cost an annual interest Of $4,000. We
have been told the present available
amount for street Improvements an
nually is $1,000. 1t will therefore lie
seen that bond issue for 100000
will carry the interest and retire the
bonds in exactly twenty-five years al

erty value. But we must remember
that the property values will increase
rapidly after such improvement Of
streets, including other improvements
that will necessarily be attracted. IL
the assessed values should increase
as rapidly as they have in the past, the
above bond issue could be retired AT
even a much earlier time than twenty
five years. 1t looks good, doesn't IT,
Let's now do what the city council
has requested us to do-get together
and express our wishes in the matter.
Arcadia is not too big for us all TO
meet and express our wishes in a great
mass convention. The opera house will
hold practically every property hold
or in the city. Wouldn't it be fine TO
see them all together in one rOomG II
the proper advertising Of the meeting
is made they'll all be there. II We
