If the government cannot inter-
fere with the sacred rights of profit
in times of industrial warfare, if it
can take no step to decrease the ex-
ploitation of the impoverished Mex
leans in times of so-called peace, it
must accept the full consequences
of its teachings when it's policy

AN AK TO GRIND. -

AN Ak TO GRIND. - No doubt
many remember the story in the
public school reader of the man who
induced the boy to turn the handle
of the grindstOne while he sharpened
his ak.
And so it is in everyday life. The
man with an AK to grind you will
generally find in the loop seated be-
hind a mahOgany-tOpped desk, his
stock in trade being his desk and a
catchy ad in the daily papers: $40
to $25 a day made easily" He's prob
ably looking for the man who has
saved $3.50 to 5000. He will want
cash security or will want to sell a
partnership which is on paper only.
This particular. breed is very clever
and will skin you alive unless you
hold tight. Many a man has lost his
life's savings in this manner.
Then there is the one who adver-
tises home work for women and girls.
He generally wants 81 and will send
you a sample, which, by the way,
costs him a few cents only. He wants
your money, not your services. He
benefits no one except himself and
the daily papers who wax fat from
his ads.
Then there is the man with the

INHERITNG ALcOHoL.-Hered-
itary drunkenness is as possible as in
heriting eating pigs feet or eating
nut sUndies.
A Prof. Nobody starts out with
Frau JuTka, a drunken thief; Of her
1874 descendants there were 700 kept
track of and found to breed true, as
was to be. expected Of such stock.
If detectives do not breed true,
why eugenics?
The professor did not, of course,
say why the frau was a drunken
thief to start with.
If the professor will keep track of
his own or any other family to the
number of 834 he will find not less
than "a detectives and some of them
will breed as true as the frau did.
If alcoholism is inherited the eX-
periments, statistics, statements and
literature of the leading scientists
on the subject should be thrown in
the waste basket. Mendel shows the
law of breeding is true. DeVries and
Burbank have by many trials devel-
oped new species that breed true.
Weissman has convinced with Unde-
niable argument the impOssibility of
changing the germ plasm by the
action of the parent Karl Pearson
has shown not by a few hundred
cases, but thousands, that children
OF interperate parents are heavier
than sober parents and that they did
not inherit intemperance.
