The Eugenics Would
SteriIize the Unfit
(By o. l.. Miller)

Is it not just as easy to examine
boy at six years old, when he
is ready to enter the public school
and tell of his mental deficiency
as it is to examine him when
10 years old, when he is about
to enter the pen for murder?
Why not line them all up at
six years old and classify them
so the public will at least be
warned-some of them might be
sent to an asylum instead of the
public schools.
Why not establish by law that
all mentally defective shall be ster-
ilized as well as all persons found
guilty of a felony? This would
end the breed and as a curative
measure would go a long way to-
ward causing some men and
women to hesitate about commit
ting crimes.
The trouble about life term
is it does not mean life. After a
few years along comes someone
with pardon and when all the
circumstances of the murder have
faded away, thoughtless COVER
nor will pardon him and the weak
minded simpleton and murderer
goes free-marries, and brings more

Become a Rich Dad

w. S. MacNaughten was a bank
er in a western state. He had a
bundle that would asphyxiate a hip
popotamus and anybody who want
ed to jerk him loose from that
bundle had to whirl a wide loop
Also w. S. had a son-Clarence
MacNaughten who was a broker
and a snort. They both had the
same tailor, James Stone, familiar
ly known as Stoney.
One day w. S. went into Stoney's
place of business to buy his semi
annual suit of clothes. On the way
he passed Clarence who had just
been measured for his semi-month-
ly suit. Stoney pulled down an
array of fabrics and spread them
in turn alluringly over an out
stretched leg to show how they
would look when made up. One
piece of tweed caught the bankers
fancy.
"How much for a suit off this
pattern?" he asked.
"Only $780," replied Stoney.
"Too much. Entirely too much
snorted w. S. 81 can't afford it,
"Dont make me laugh" smiled
the tailor. "Why Pm making up a
suit right now for Clarence that is
going to set him back 1925"
81 know" responded the banker
"But Clarence has a rich dad and
l haven't"
YOU may not have a rich dad,
but you don't need one. 1t is not
necessary to have rich parent to
get ahead. The men who depend
on their rich fathers for their gaudy
and expensive habiliments usually
wake up to find themselves wear
ing loose and unbecoming suit
of sackcloth and ashes. Most able
bodied Americans can attain pros
perity on their own hook if they
will make practice of saving
regularly a certain amount of what
they earn and invest it safely and
profitably.
Government Savings Securities
offer an ideal means for saving
and investing such sums profitably.
But these means do not become
effective unless the securities are
BOUGHT and BOUGHT REGUL-
ARLY. Simply declaring that saw
ing and investment are good schemes
will not be effective. But if any
young fellow BUYS these securities
and hold them, they will put him
in the way not of depending on a
rich dad but of becoming a rich
dad.

CONCLUSION OF BUSINESS OF THE
Az. OF |. CONVENTION AT DENVER
Continued From Page q

they have no right to quit it until
they have proven to at least part of
the American people that they are
honest and sincere. But as far as
taking the order and agreeing to
policies of this kind, l want to say
to you, gentlemen here-I am not
standing in the court room at In
dianapolis or any other place - l
will not do that which is essentially
wrong although it sends me to Jail
and although it withers my right
hand. And so / have informed some
of the officials of the government"
The American Federation of La
Dor, in convention, has by over
whelming majority, decided not to
reaffiliate with the International
Federation of Trade Unions until
the viewpoint of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor is met in the con-
duct of the International Fedora
ton.
By the same strong vote the
convention endorsed the report of
the Executive Council on Russia,
approving thereby the councils un-
wavering opposition to sovietism
and bolshevism, repeating the pledge
of friendship to the Russian peo-
pie.
eve particularly note the con-
GLIDING paragraph of the report on
this subject:
1T should be understood clearly
that between the people of the
United States and the great masses
of the people of Russia there has
been, is and will continue to be the
most earnest and sincere friendship
and that the people of the United
States express no sentiment to the
contrary except toward those in Rus
STA who are destroying the oppor-
tunities of the Russian people for
democratic self-government, but who
on the contrary, are imposing upon
the Russian people a brutal, de-
fenseless tyranny. This friendship
is the friendship of the working
people and of all the people of our
country for great people whose
character and aspirations have ever
justified the confidence, respect and
friendship of all liberty loving peo-
pie, and the earnest hope that the
situation in Russia may so change
that freedom, justice, democracy and
humanitarianism may be the guild
ing principles of their every day
lives. For that time and opportun-
ity American labor fervently antic-
ipates that the true bond of inter-
national fraternity may be estab-
lished between the toilers of Rus
STA and those of America"

To the Labor Press
of United States

The American Federation of
Teachers is an international organ
ization affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. 1t is an or
ganization which should come into
contact with every branch of the
organized labor movement, should
cooperate with all the benificent
activities of the labor movement,
and should finally, through better
schools, react upon the labor move
ment in such a way as to give the
people of the United States a better
world to live in.
In many states legislatures have
been in session during the past
months and programs through leg
islation have been pending. Teach
ers have had an opportunity Of
learning who befriend the schools,
vote their generous support to the
maintenance of education and safe
guard the integrity and freedom of
the teachers. Teachers have also
learned which groups in society are
dominated by such selfish and short
sighted aims that they oppose school
legislation just as they oppose leg
islation to protect the workers;
just as they oppose legislation to
protect children from the baneful
effects of premature labor; just as
they oppose legislation to protect
women in their relation to indus
try.
Since the American Federation of
Teachers has become an active Or
ganiZation it has come into more
or less direct conflict with organ
izations essentially commercial and
avOwedly humanitarian. These Or
CARNATIONS are attempting to con-
tinue their already marked control
of the school systems of the United
States through a detailed program
of cooperation with school authori-
ties. Some of the highest officials
of the National Educational Asso-
citation, past and present, have link
ed themselves in association with
Chambers of Commerce throughout
the United States with the idea of
working out together educational
programs.
That there is danger of putting
the whole school system of the
United States in this way under
the direct control of Chambers of
Commerce might be apparent to the
most casual observer. / am en-
closing some material which you
may find room for in your columns.
Especially important is the an
nouncement of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States which l
have enclosed. In sending you the
oth of oil I 70 hri, nv
about closer and more cooperative
relation betwewen teachers unions
and the other unions of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.

Mothers Day Will
 Be Observed May 8

The definite information concern ing the beginning of this day to com- memorate mothers is not all known but it is true that the originator was Miss Travis, a Phi1adelphian woman. The nation first observed the day, the second Sunday of May, 1908. It is Ane of the youngest of our national holidays, but the spirit that prompted it was one which caus- ed quick and nationwide acceptance. It is a day founded upon one of the greatest loves in the world, the love Of man for his mother, and is a sen timental feeling old as mankind The correctness of the latter state- ment is found from the works of the very earliest of poets and from the singing by the ancient bards of praises to mothers. Some of the greatest masterpieces in poetry, prose and art are founded on the theme of moth CTS love and love for mothers.
 And the love expressed by those yeople of the o1den days has not been dimmed in the least by the pass mother is as strong as, or even stronger than, in those days.
 And what is a better way of ex- pressing this great love than by wear ing flowers. It is only natural that love, the sweetest thing on earth, should be symbolized by natures most beautiful and delicate offspring wear a flower on this, the sweetest of
 Originally only carnations were worn, but now almost any kind ot flower can be used.

Wont you wear a little posy on the
 eighth of May?
 It will serve as a reminder that we
 then have Mothers day. Just a rose, carna:tion, tulip-any
 fragrant kind will do; You will feel a satisfaction that to
 mother you are true. Just a flower of purest fragrance,
 for our best and truest friend, She who stands by you in trouble and
 a helping hand will lend; She who %aughS when you are happy
 and who cries when you are sad, She who looks with disapproval when
 you happen to be bad. Just a posy, any color, so she'll know
 you don't forget
 She'll be happy in the feeling that
 you're thinking of her yet; Even though she has departed, wear
 a flower on this day, Think of mother, here and wonder.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep. your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoes
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified eocoanut
Oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tiEely greaseless), is much better than
anything els. you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoons
full of MuIsified will make an album
dance Of rich, creamy lather. and
eleanses the hair and scalp thoroly.
The lather rinses out easily and re-
moves every particle of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky. bright. fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get MuIsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-Adv.

HABEAS CORPUS FAILED

f. r. Converse has been released
from the county Jail on parole fol-
lowing term of 214 days spent in
that institution. He had. previously
tried to gain his liberty by means OF
a writ of habeas corpus, but was u1-
successful. His original sentence
was six months in jail and fine of
$500, as a result of charge placed
against him of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor The time
was served. but on account of not
being able to raise the money II be-
gan to look as though he would have
to serve that out too. at the rate of
81 per day, or $50 days, when some
kind power secured his release by
means of the parole.

ing George Moran, who is receiving

BUNS TRAVELLING THROUGH
DO NOT WANT TO WORK

Chief OF Police Lamb stated to the
city council last night that of all the
men passing through this city who
are seemingly without means of sup
port, not more than one out of ten
will accept work when 1t is offered.
He cited an incident which occurred
a few days ago when he was asked to
send farm hands north. He ap-
preached one bunch of ten hoboes
and asked them if they wanted work.
One accepted and the others ex-
pressed a preference to worry along.
In another bunch of about thirty-five
"bos" Lamb secured two who would
go to work. There is a great deal OF
talk about idle men who cannot Sc
cure any kind of work, according to
Lamb. but upon investigation it is
found that great many are not look
ing for that form of amusement and
are insulted when asked.
