Danger in Mixed Marriages.

| DdHSeF IN MlxeO Marriages.
Yutan, Neb., July 9.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: Just a few words
against the erroneous doctrine
which J. D. Crum is attempting to
spread through your paper.
I uphold Judge Sears for his
stand and maintain that inter-racial
marriages are crime which should
be prevented.
In reply to the points raised by
Mr. Crum let me answer them as
stated in his letter to you. First, Be-
cause man commits deed or crime
is no proof that such action on the
part Of man pleases God. Why did
God separate the races If he did not
want different races to inhsbit the
earth? Each race has its niche to
fill in this world and must fulfill
its own mission in life. Second,
believe also in personal liberty, but
my liberty does not allow me the
privilege of trespassing on the rights
of other individuals or Of society.
And under no circumstances does a
man have the right to curse the fu-
ture generations through his own
action. Third, A law prohibiting In
ter-racial marriages is right. Fourth,
No. Fifth, 1t does. Sixth, 1t does.
Seventh. Missing from letter. Eighth,
1t is not necessary to allow children
to be raised in such an environment
1t would react to the detriment Of
the child and of society You do not
find inter-marriag ges between the
better classes of either race. Ninth,
There Is no use in the argument
about the relative merits of the diff
ferent races; each have their good
and strong points. But a pure-bred
breeder of cattle would not advocate
the improvement of a pure-bred
Holstein herd Of high class by using
a pure-bred Shorthorn bull. Such a
policy would destroy his herd in
one generation and Will do the same
in the human race if generally fol-
lowed. And I thank God that the
majority of people do not allow
visionary ideals to overcome their
better judgment Tenth, Let us
stand for more care in insisting on
racial purity be it the black race or
the white race. And don't impute
all the crimes In the universe to
God because He gave man the priv
ilege Of choosing between the right
and wrong. A marriage between the
races simply emphasizes the Bible
statement that "the sins Of the faith
ers will be visited upto the children
even unto the third and fourth gen.
Grafton. And how truly does that
work in a mixed marriage.

AT LEAST 2.7s% BENEFICIAL

Prohibition may not be working
at least there are some pretty
good signs that it is not working
100 per cent-but there are also
some mighty good signs that partial
prohibition-the brand we have
is helping out the world.
In Chicago the physicians at the
county hospital tell us they do not
have the flood of weekend pneu-
monias that they were troubled with
in former days; the men who got
drunk on Saturday, developed pneu-
monia about Monday, and died by
the next Saturday.
Far be 1t from me to say that it
was more than coincidence, but do
you remember how the sheets were
decked with advertisements, Of
whisky as a remedy for the flu and
pneumonia in 1918, and how the
death list from flu and pneu-
monia grew and how, in jan
uary, 1920, when the flu came back,
there were no advertisements call
ing on people to drink whisky for
the flu, and how the death rate
came down?
This story deals with another
angle to the whisky situation. In
the old days Cook county hospital,
each year, took care of $50 cases of
cirrhosis of the liver, sometimes
called drunkard's liver. In 1916 that
hospital cared for 100 such cases.
There was one patient with this
disease for every 1876 patients of all
sorts. In 1920 this great hospital
only cared for 10 such cases, or one
case for each 1,466 patients.
The drop has been progressive.
In 1918 about half as many as 1917.
1919 about half as many as 1918,
1920 about half as many as 1919.
Cirrhosis of the liver is a slowly
developing disease and the county
hospital usually gets the late and
fully developed cases. The 1921
cases will include the booze fighters
OF two or three years ago. Therefore
we expect to get some cases this

hibition law went into effect.
After all. will drunkard's liver
disappear from the county hospital
Will we have to appeal to the pa.
triotic senses to keep 1t up in order
that each medical student may see
one case Of cirrhosis of the liver as
part of his training?

self at highland this loyal men,
serve as clinical material a few
years from now.
But even aside from the hootch
brigade, we will be able to get some
cases-not many, but some--from
the mustard eaters.
DIR. j. l.. Miller, who makes the
county hospital, discusses alcoholic
OF the liver.
The German literature in the
main ascribes this disease to al
cohol, The controversy relates to
the proportions due to beer and the
distilled liquors. respectively. The
British literature ascribes it to liq-
uors in the main. but the Hindus
have it and they do not drink; they
get it from eating ginger, and the
Egyptians have it. though they do
not drink. They get it from eating
highly spiced foods.
When the day comes that prohibi-
ton approaches perfection and the
cases of alcoholic cirrhosis Of the
liver are not longer found, we will
be able to find enough cases to teach
our students with among the pickle
eaters and those who varnish their
meat with mustard, not to mention
those who eat cove oysters SWIM
ming in pepper and salt and those
who sop their rare roast beef in
high sauces.
But why think of it. Let us be

The Hour of Fate
BY Victor Murdoch.

What is the hour of fate in young mans life? I

That hour is the spring-board from which most men
leap to fall off to failure

roads, of which leads to character and the other to
the lack of it.
There twenty-three other hours in day, but
there is no hour so potent as this p.
Why? This is the answer: mans waking hours
divided between industry and leisure To majority
of mankind in the evening marks the end of work
and the beginning of leisure. 1t is the hour when
makes choice of the kind Of leisure he is to have.
If he turns to the leisure that means improvement
his mind his body and his SOUL he WINS if he
to the feeding frvotes, he loses. It is cold
booded proposition, but it is true Genius is ninety
nine per hard work and the best of leisure is

this world the time when they not at in
activities which look like work to the loafer.
Now my idea of success in life, fundamentally
pressed is this: between mans fifteenth and twenty
fifth birthdays there $3.50 week day p Each

man looks at the clock and out of the window he
decides that his next three hours to spent on

pleasure he loses
This does not mean that any man should make all
the $3.50 hours moments Of decision Social
which part of complete life will take some the
services of friendship will take many

Norcross Young Man Shoots Self

4sV4S4Vo0 4VSA&AES &z4os44 044OVV0 WILL (
On the afternoon of Christmas day
at about four o'clock Victor Jones,
Norcross young man of about FL
years, was leaning against a pool
hall Of that village, with his right
hand over the muzZle Of an automa-
tic shot gun, the butt Of which rested
on the floor, when the gun dis
charged. The shot passed through
the hand and badly multilated the
young mans body.
DR.. Leland was called and arrived
in short time. An examination
showed that the charge had passed
through the right side making
frightful wound but fortunately not
cutting the lung. The young man
was taken to Breckenridge on the
afternoon train and placed in the hos
pital there. He has been at the point
of death ever since, but there is a
chance for his recovery If compli-
cations do not arise.
Just how the gun was discharged
seems mystery. The barrel of an
automatic shot gun works forward
and back to operate the repeating
mechanism. If there are shells in
the magazine but none in the cham
Der, to shove the barrel down will
load the gun but should not dis
charge it. On the other hand, if
the gun Is fully loaded it should eject
