ARE WE DISSEMINATING

Eusenics, that cheerful science which seeks to
apply the rules of stock raising to the human fam
Nv, had quite vogue in America just before the
outbreak of the World War Several states
tually passed laws scckin to regulate poslerily
and the foundation was laid for a general course
Of race improvement,

most of their premises. They had declared that
mankind was degenerating growing weak tlabby.
incompetent, and subject to too many diseases.
But when the men of all the great nations muster
ed for actions it was found, by actual nvestiga-
lion in examiners offices, and by demonstration on
the field, that such race of fighters had never
been seen before.
Now. however there are signs that the eugenlsts
are creeping out of their holes once more. The
Literary Digest last week carried page article
headed, Our Drift Toward Degeneracy." 1t
featured an article by Seth K. Humphrey, whose
thesis is, I'VE are populating the earth from the
wrong kind of stock He paints gloomy future
for our race, and calls on the legislators for law
to reverse the tendency

IDEALISM OR PLATITUDE

''Idealsm, much of it practical in contempa-
lion and all difficult in realization, characterize
the inaugural address of Warren C. Harding,
is the way the Florida Metropolis begins its edi-
torial on Mr. Harding's speech. Nay, verify;
says the Tampa Tribmes 1t shines with the
splendor of oratorical sophomorism, like the sun
rays thrown from the bottom of tin pan" Be-
tween these two views, and the conclusions arts
ing from them. the Telegram would be hopelessly
puzzled if it had not already formed a rather
positive opinion Of the inaugural outpourng.
But, after all, do the Jacksonville and 7 ampa
papers really hold opposite opinions? Is there
any tangible difference between idealism and plati-
tude? We do not refer to the dictionary de6ni-
tons, but to the things themselves as they have
been and are being presented. The idealist in
variably" discourses in pattudes; may we not con-
clude, then, that the man who is invariably plati-
iudinous is an idealis? However, while leaving
those two papers TO reconcile their differences, we
contribute to the discussion only this statement:
that ii surely was most excellent speech because
it contained nearly all the good things we had
ever heard before.

NO MORE JACK JOHNSON


When Jack Johnson. negro puglist leaves Jail
fight promoters should harden their hearts against
those who would have him appear in the prize
ring again. Johnson never had any great popu
larily as champion, and after his fleeing from
prison sentence whatever friends he may have
had in America ceased to have any regard for him.
This inipudent fighter from his cell issues state
ment that he will return to the ring as soon as
he is free Some one planned a fight for him in
Benton Harbor, Mich, and the authorities of the
state promptly vetoed it. Now Johnson and some
mopey-hunting individuals who purpose taking
charge of him are looking for another place in
which Johnson will be permitted to fight. He
cannot go to New York, that is certain, and prob
ably nowhere else. As pugilist he is played out;
as fighters go. he is too old and dissipation and
racing around the world to evade sentence of
Imprisonment have weakened whatever powers
he ever had. The best thing Johnson can do is
to change his name, try to lead decent life and
get job forgetting that he ever was a pugilist

THE JOY OF BEINe
(John Kendrick Bengs)


Whittier my road is leading me
Perhaps do not know;
But. Oh the path is fair to see,
And sweet the winds that blow
In sun or storm, by day or night,
If skies are lowering or bright,
The highroad holds so much delight
run with heart aglow.
The lanes may thorny be, and lead
To steps heart-breaking high;
The forests wild with bush and weed
My strength may mortify;
Yet, with resolve to do and dare,
I hold within my soul small care
For pathways spread DER pathways where
The goals worth winning lie.
1t is enough to live and plan,
To joy i'll earth and sea;
To do what things mortal can
With spirit blithe and free;
To prove ones strength of soul and will
TO meet and overcome the i'll.
And in the end to gain the thrill
or manful mastery!
