PRESIDENT WILSON.

Every mention Of President Wilson's
mama Il in the San Francisco conven-
ton brought responsive cheers and
lengthy demonstrations, because he is
the greatest leader the Democrats have
had since the time Of Jefferson; be-
cause he has written more world hiss
tory than any other president of this
country; because he led this country
through victorious world war; be-
cause he stands for the only kind Of
peace that gives any promise OF being
permanent; because he is the spokes-

A RECORD OF GREAT ACHIEVE.
MENTS.
(From the New York Worldly

(F'rom the New York W0rld.)
AS a record of accomplishment the
two Wilson Administrations are u
nique in American history. Never be-
fore in the official life of a President
has the party in power dealt with SO
many questions of the first magnitude,
and never before has there been such
an impressive inventory of great
achievement.
The successful conduct of the war
would alone give any Administration
an immortal place in American his
tory, and yet the winning of the war
is only one of score of mighty &C
complishments on the part of the
President and his party. Nothing
that the Republicans say or do can OBJ
seure the factsthat under the leader
ship of Woodrow Wilson the United
States attained power and prestige

FOOLISH INVENTIONS.

Homer Cummings, chairman Of the
Democratic National Convention, de-
nounced as foolish the statements that
the President refused to permit the
dotting OF an 81" or the crossing Of q
1T" in the Peace Treaty submitted by
him to the Senate for ratification.
In reference to the Presidents real
attitude toward reservations Mr..
Cummings said:
In every speech made during
his tour the President stated en-
tire willingness to accept any and
all reservations not incompatible
with Americas honor and true in
terests. 1t is the plain intent of
the covenant that the Monroe Doc
trine is excluded, that not one
American can be sent out Of the
country without formal action by
Congress and that the right Of
withdrawal is absolute. II there
are any words which can make
these meanings clearer, they will
be welcomed 1t is not reserva-
tons that the President stands
against, but notification.
I. Before Chairman Cummings speech
was delivered it was read and approx
ed by President Wilson. The Presi-
dent at all times has been willing to
accept reservations which would not
impair the essential integrity Of the
Treaty.

The saloon became menace to the

political arena for the sole purpose
of defeating candidates for public posi-
lions who would not promise to do
its bidding. w. J. Bryan would not
promise the saloon anything, and the
saloon beat him for the presidency
and drove him out Of the office OF
Secretary Of State. Jehovah had other
work for that gifted man to do. After
he retired from President Wilson's
Cabinet he did more than any other
man in this country to drive the saloon
out of existence, to drive 1t forever
from the United States. And only
last week he did more than any other
man in America to keep the Demo
cratic party from becoming the least

DEMOCRATS WANT NO CHANGE IN
PRESENT PROHIBITORY LAW.

The committee on resolutions re-
ported a platform to the Democratic
National Convention at San Fran
cisco, that was silent on the question
of prohibition That was the equiva-
lent of declaration that the party
was satisfied with our present laws
for the suppression of the liquor traf-
fic
To this position, favored by a ma
jority of the committee on resolutions.
there were two minority reports, one
opposing any increase in the alchohol-
ic contents of permitted beverages, the
other favoring an increase The debate
on these reports ragged for several
hours. Bryan, as leader Of the bone
dry forces, created a scene like the one
in Chicago which resulted in his first
nomination for the presidency. Bry-
san's minority report was beaten, but
his great speech did much to safeguard
the majority report from the attacks
of the beer and wine forces.
There were 1904 delegates in the
convention, of whom 155 voted for
what was called the bone dry plank,
and 356 for what was termed the moist
plank, and 53S supported the major
ity report by voting against both the
bone dry and moist planks. The moist
plank was beaten by vote OF 726h
against it and 356 voting for it.
While William ]. Bryan lives no
earthly power will be able to bury
the Democratic party in the same
grave with John Barleycorn.

WHAT DOES IT TEACH? DOES THE
WORLD NEED IT? ARE PARENTS RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR THE CHILD'S PHYSICAL
CONDITION? SHOULD THERE BE
CHILDREN IN THE HOME?
HOW ABOUT THEIR HEALTH?

In a word eugenics is the science of better
breeding. Over century ago, Sir Francis
Gallon amplfed this succinct and epitomized
definition when he said eugenics deals with all
influences that improve the inborn qualities
of race and that develop these to their
utmost advantage.
To be eugenic in broad sense. the expect
ant mother will not only study what to eat
that her baby may be well nourished-she
will also strive to fill her mind with noble
thoughts that she may impart mental and
moral strength to her progeny. and she
must previously have considered the health
and character of the man who is to be the
child's father. Nor will she fail to give the
most careful attention to her own health.
Comparatively few mothers seem TO compre-
bend the Importance of prenatal influence.
Those who do not appreciate responsibility
for the child's happiness and health so long as
it can not be seen, are entirely too numerous.
Medical science has shown eoneq 'sr that
ure upon the nourishment supplied by the
mother. Many frivolous mothers feed their
unborn babes known injurious substances from
which any sane mother would shrink after
the infants advent.
Parents who give vigorous, healthy children
to the world do more for humanity than those
who amass large fortunes win great VIC
tories in battle. To give the child healthy
body and strong mind as fundamental to
good citizenship. is a problem that has begun
to command the attention of governments.
The greatest right of child is to be well

: lance of health. This is an obligation the
parents and the nation owe to the citizen
of the future. With but few exceptions. re-
proach may be brought upon the parents of
weak and pusy children. Such persons have
ignored the defects of their bodily organisms
Many have never in their lives sought reli-
able medical counsel with view to attain
ing health, strength and vitality. 1t has
been prophesied that the day is not far dis
tant when the privilege of parenthood will
be denied those who not promise pros
poets of normal health for their progeny.
To create human soul is attended with
tremendous responsibility! 1t is physical
function, primarily, and the Bible itself
teaches the beauty and holiness of the body.
1t is called the temple of Cod" and every
man is warned not to defile it. Parents nat
urally want their children TO be keen mentally
and vital physically. But the possession of
these desired characteristics depends to
great extent, on Inheritance from father and
mother. Too few mediate on the fact that
sarriage involves physical mating and that

such as no other nation has ever ac-
quired, and in so far as that power
and prestige have been weakened the
responsibility rests wholly upon the
Republican majority in the United
States Senate, which owes its exls-
tence to a Senator since convicted and
sentenced to Jail on charges growing
out Of his purchase Of high office.
The Democratic Party under Wood
row Wilson has kept the faith-not
merely the Democratic faith, as the
platform affirms, but the faith OF the
American people and the faith OF sell
government. A party with such a
record has right to appeal for vote

EIJGENICS

the character of progeny depends 50 ereatly
upon the vitality of the contracting persons
The delicate child too frequently is the result
of inexcusable ignorance or heedlessness.
Many forget that their own bodies live within
their descendants.
The childless home is veritable tragedy
It is vacant. cold, lifeless. 1t leads no place
it has no future. Love of children is innate
in every normal human soul To reproduce is
a natural. God-given instinct. The tragedy of
a childess married life is felt most acutely
by those who bring the condition upon them
selves voluntarily.
Health is fundamental factor necessary in
support of every wel-ordered home. Marriage
without it is almost certain to lead to q
childless home or weak and puny children.

and adherence to the demands of health are
Essential to complete manhood and woman
hood and these are imperative factors in
lied life. Both husband and wife should enter
the sacred realm of matrimony fully equipped
morally: mentally and physically. And it is
their duty to maintain that standard. Mar
riage and the rerpetuation of the race through
healthy. vigorous children are part of the
physiological law-and that law is Gods law.
Recent campaigns and crusades against inn
purity are hopeful sign for the betterment of
the race. In both its forms. social (prostitu-
tion) and individual (masturbation), impurity
had grown at an alarming rate. Sexual immor-
atty, with its attendant loathsome diseases,
is yet, however, rendering men and women
wholly unfit for parenthood. Some medical
men have estimated that fully three-fourths of
Americas male inhabitants between the ages
of Is and % become victims of venereal
diseases. Yet the reports of investigating
commissions show that syphilis and gonorrhea
have been no more common in America s
large cities than in some of the most impor-
tant population centers of Europe.
Physical deterioration and race suicide are
inevitable results OF these cancers in the
nations moral fabric. The evil consequences
are transmitted to descendants in constitu-
tionai feebleness. weakness of will rover. and
tendency to diseases resulting from infec-
ton. Gonorrhea destroys the race by sterii-
ing the adult or binding the innocent babe.
Syphilis may kill the child quite directly or
may leave it liable to destruction by other
agencies, notably tuberculosis.
All parents, and all others with parental
potentialities, owe it to their progeny if not
to themselves. to be as nearly physically per-
feet as lies within their power. This is
impossible with bodies impaired by disease,
failure to live hygienically or chronic condi-
tons and weaknesses that result from past
Competent medical consultation and
advice are highly important in such cases.
Hence the increasingly urgent demand for
the high-class services of the skilled and ex-
perienced specialist.
