ANACONDA Standard

The science of eugenics, or at all
events the application Of that science,
is making slow progress in America.
In the state legislatures many bills
are introduced but few get by There
is now a measure before the New
York assembly. urged by many ply
sicians under whose provisions all
persons seeking marriage licenses
would be required to undergo an ex-
animation of their eyes. Further,
they would be required to state whe-
Their or not their blood relatives with
in the third degree had suffered from
visual defects. If any sign of bad
vision should be found. the town or
city clerk would be required to make
application to a county judge for an
order providing that the applicants
show cause why the marriage should
not be restrained. This might be
done. the bill provides if there was
any reason to believe that the chill

derestimated in matters of public pol
icy and recommendation. The rea-
son for this is because government to
be successful and satisfactory must
simply be a reflection of the compos-
lite convictions and interests of the
great body of the people If it goes
above this median line It represents
an intellectual height which is not
adapted to the practical business of
government or congenial to the mass
standpoint; if it goes below that line
its outlook is either feeble or reac-
tonary. Representative government.
in other words. means what it SAYS.
and to be so it must express senti-
ments and define policies in the cur
rent terms of the day. And when that
is done public men can be held to
strict accountability for squaring
their acts with their words Presi-
dent Harding places himself in the
position of declaring his purposes in
language whose plain meaning and
intent can not be misinterpreted by
any candid mind and any departure
from that plain meaning can be in
stantly detected by the average run
of people. with the corresponding
penalty of loss of confidence in him

fend insncerity of recreancy to a

SEX POLITICS.
(Boise Statesman)

tbOiSe statesman
One may seriously doubt whether
women are consistent in their new
political attitude. Their great battle
was waged on the principle that wo-
men should not have a different status
politically than men and their victory
meant apparently. that women and
men are to be considered just alike
from the standpoint of politics; that.
in other words, sex should not enter
into the subject at all.
But now Immediately after their
great victory in the nation, observe
what women are doing. They are ad-
hitting the very difference they
sought to annihilate. They are say
ing to themselves that women have
different status than men and must
therefore be organized along sex lines
to fight for ''wOmen's legislation"
At Cleveland on Thursday leaders
of the national league of women vot-
ers were in session to map out the
work before them and it was an
nounced that committees would re-
commend that the women support
certain bills relative to maternity and
infant care, that they champion GER
tain election reforms, that they fight |
that they seek labor laws
favorable to women, that they get
hack of a campaign for health leg
station
The fight is to be waged from the
of SEX a standpoint which
women themselves have said should
not be taken in politics. They will
ight their fight not as a group of
'oters but as a group of female vot-
rs.
But perhaps the inconsistency of
he political organizations which
rev out of the suffrage campaign is
he not to the women who are mem 7
ers' but to the paid workers who {
nd it necessary to manufacture new r
rograms if they are to continue to +
e paid workers. g

THE COLONEL WILL STRANeLE

The many readers Of Harveys

which was to wallop Woodrow VIII

the organization and the revelations

mining and Scientific Press)
That the Pittman act will not be re
pealed is the positive assurance with
which Senator Key Pittman greeted
his constituents upon his return to
TOnopah from Washington last week
The senator stated frankly that if it
became necessary he and his con
freres from the other western states
would conduct a flibuster to kill any
legislation aiming to repeal the act.
He declared that there were four
senators, including himself, who
would speak six hours per day for
year. if need be. to forestall a repeal
He took the attitude that the govern
ment had actually pledged its honor
to the silver producers and he felt
certain that the present agitation
would never gain sufficient headway
among the senators to make drastic
action necessary.

HUGHES AND THE SOVIET.
New York Tribune)

The new administration has made
no boast of its note writing ability
1t cherishes no ambition to gain dis
tinction by epistolary achievement.
Yet the succinct reply of Secretary
Hughes to the recent play-with-me,
come into my parlor invitation of
Russia's soviet government shows
that, so far as concerns note writing.
he need not fear comparison with the
most illustriOus of his predecessors.
Setting forth why the present is not
an oppOrtune time to consider trade
relations Mr. Hughes remarks: ut is
idle to expect resumption of trade I'M
til the economic bases of production
are securely established. Production
is conditioned upon the safety of life.
the recognition by firm guarantees of
private property, the sanctity of con
tract and the rights of free labor"
Here in briefest form is at once a
statement of the facts, an argument
and an unacceptable conclusion drawn
therefrom. Every word impales Lee
nine. The whole business is summed
up with a lucidity and a simplicity
which sophistry will vainly labor to
answer.

It is singular that the organization

some comment on bolshevism by Mrs

trouble. We have heard the same
explanation advanced to account for
the failure of some people to grasp

MADE IN GERMANY.
(Hfarvey's Weekly

AIldINtg > weekly
Just as the war which wrecked the
civilized world was made in Germany
so is the retribution which now i'm
ponds over Germany's head being
made in Germany That is the con-
clusion reached by Mr. Frank H. ST.
mondG in one of the most interest
ing presentations of European con-
dtons which this exceptionally we'll
informed writer has of late produced.
The premises on which Mr.. ST.
monds reaches his conclusions are
very simply Either Germany must
adjust herself to facts as they are
and meet the responsibilities which
these facts entail, or face extinction
as an industrial nation
And what are these facts to which
Germany must adjust herself or face
Industrial obiteratfon? They are
simply the facts to which she SOL
EMMY pledged acceptance when she /
signed the Versailles treaty. She then /
recognized her responsibility for the |
war which she had wantOnly thrust |
upon the world; she pledged herself
to disarm under certain clearly spe-
Gifted conditions; she pledged her
word to pay for the devastation she
had wrought
And on every one of these solemn
agreements she has WEIGHED She
not only repudiates responsibility for
the war, but she insolently asserts
that she will never admit that re-
sponsiblity. She has used every
means within her reach to evade dis
armament She refuses to pay the
bill of damages which she agreed to
pay and she persists in that refusal
All Of which means that Germany
is now taking advantage of the eco
homie wreckage she has brought on
HE world TO emerge as the economic
victor in the war that she lost on the :
battlefield. Says Mr. Simonds:
"But the German has not been =.
wiling to pay or submit. He has re-
used money he has chung to his
inns wherever possible, he has re- !,
doubled his threats of revenge. of the :,
ocovery of Alsace- Lorraine. of the -
uture destruction of France"
If Germany will not pay for the
iavoc she wrought in France. the =
My thing left for France to do, Mr.
'imonds believes, is to go into Ger >
many and take what property she -
an get her hands onto strip Ger
many in other words. Just as Ger
nany stripped France of every port
BILE form of property within reach
hen perhaps for the first time
-ould be brought home to the Ger

hat they and not the allies had lost W

And that is precisely what France W

TOBACCO LAW PUTS DEAL
ERS OUT OF BUSINESS.

1t was understood when the legis-
lature passed the law requiring to-
bacco dealers to pay a license OF $50
per year and give a bond of $500 as a
guarantee that they would obey the
law, that the purpose was to provide
la substitute for the extreme anti
cigarette law which had been rushed
through the Legislature and that its
provisions would have no effect upon
the merchant who sold only smoking
and chewing tobacco and possibly
cigars But it appears now that the
law makes no distinction regarding
the form in which tobacco is offered
for sale and its provisions apply to
ANY person, firm or corpora
lion barterng, selling or having
i'm possession for sale, any cigars
cigarettes, smoking tobacco,
chewing tobacco or any tobacco
product or compound of tobacco
ers or wrappers, or any paper
prepared or made for the purpose
of making cigarettes"
This law is hardly less objection
able than the anti cigarette law for
which it is substitute; in fact, from
Tie standpoint Of the fanatic who
would prohibit the sale and use of
tobacco altogether this law is per-
laps more acceptable for it will GER
ainly cause many merchants who
iandle smoking and chewing tobacco
'niy to discontinue selling tobacco
ather than pay a license of $50 for
he privilege Most grocery stores

customers than for the profit there is

leans that these grocerymen gener- G
ly viii cut out the sale of tobacco {
nd while this may be gratifying to {
he narrow minded reformer it means a

bacco is concerned. /
There would be no objection to re- b
firing every tobacco dealer who sells f
sarettes to file a bond against sell e

hich should be a heavy cash for "

$50 per wear upon all tobacco deal c.

John Burroughs)

Serene, l fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind or tide, or sea;
rave no more 'gainst time or fate.
For, 10! my own shall come to me.
/ stay my haste, / make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal days,
And what is mine shall know my
face.
Asleep awake, by night or day
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if l stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years:
My heart shall reap where it has sown
And garner up the fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
height;
SO flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time. nor space. nor deep, nor
high.
Can keep my own away from me.
