LEGAL KILLING

The members of the American
Association of Progressive Medicine
at the Chicago convention of that o
ciety boldly placed themselves on re-
cord ss favorinn legislation to permit
a physician or surgeon legally to end
human suffering where recovery is
hopeless. DR.. w. A. Gould, of Des
Moines, is chief advocate OF the plan
OF painless killing in extreme cases.
The proponents Of %euthanasia base
their arguments on the humanity of
such q course. Cold reason tells us
that when a person is hopelessly i'll,
incurably insane or fatally injured 1t
is the part of humanity to end need
less suffering in the quickest, most
merciful manner. But of what avail
is cold reason when the proposal to
SO end suffering is brought home.
Who is there SO coldly reasonable he
would submit to the killing of his
own child, his brother or his mother,
even when death is inevitable and its
coming filled with agony.
""Thou Shalt Not KILL" proclaimed
the Lord to Moses on Sinai. There
was no tempOriZing, no modifying,
no provision made for exceptional
cases. The command was final and
absolute. Man has, for his own
p)ooo,,rn ar praEf ravioad nruokiooj lv
all the commandments but he has, so
far, been instinctively too sensible to
modify this one. He need only con
slider the misery that has flowed onto
the world because of his disregard OF
the other commands to realize the
pOtentialities of modification of the
prohibition to murder.
1t would be simple enough to per
NIT a "duly authorized physician" to
determine when al invalid 10 hope
lessly ill. But how many times have
"hopelessly sick" persons completely
recovered? How often have the In
cnrable insane returned to sanity and
the fatally injured survived to useful

Win Z. Chamberlain in the Sioux
City Journal, advocates the extreme
measure of the abolition Of the Ger
man language in u schools. While
the sentiment is backed by a real 10y
al spirit we believe such a move
would be more vindictive than sane
or deliberate. There is going to be a
German people, a German republic
and a German language after the war
is over, aud we are going to show
them how magnanimous we are and
haw rapidly we "a forget the indig-
mites which military Germany is
heaping upon US. Let US, therefore,
leave as few a as possible. In
the meantime it is Uncle Sam and
loyal to our government first until
the war is won.

Germany's object in the note is
merely to bring about q cessation of
hostilities. If she can do this by the
simple, if cynical, device of lip ser
vice to high principles, she will have
made imperative the united purpose
of the Allies that now anlmates an
overwhelming powerful and smooth
ly running war machine. In these
circumstances she could make her
appearance at the peace table clothed
in the majesty of an undaunted i'm
perialism, and get her objects by the
simple expedient-of threatening to
use military force. The world is now
united for the job of ending this
threat; let the job be finished.
The opinion of both continents has
rightly discerned the difference be-
tween the German and the Austrian
reply. The latter is characterized
not only by it's sincere desire for
peace, but also by its sincere adher-
ence to some arrangement for secur
ing and preserving peace.
