three, if | may judge by our students and the
aristocratic families of my surroundings.
Many of these have been wiped out, the last
male having been killed.
~ have reason to believe that the disas-
trous results of the selection exercised by the
last war are the same among all the other
people of Europe. In Russia eugerical inheri-
tance may be considered destroyed.
''We are present at a crisis of the superior
and eugenic races, threatened with extinction
at the moment when an abundance of super
men is necessary"
But DIR. de Lapouge refuses to consider the
battle lost, for man can, after all, add cubit
to his mental stature by taking thought, and
that is where our middle class comes in, aug
mented by successful business men of the high
er type They are the salt of the earth, the
eugenists believe, these professional men and
women and the business men who have brains,
vision and constructive genius. From these
classes Dr. de Lapouge hopes it will be possible
to renew in a few centuries all humanity and
fireplace the mass by mass much superior, in
which the selection will be continued to the
uttermost"
II am confident" says DR.. de Lapouge
that the Anglo-Saxons will lead in such an
unequaed enterprise Americans, it depends
on you, | soiemnly declare, to save civilization
and produce race of demigods.'
Our cherished theory of democracy as in
terpreted by Fourth of July orators and such
journalists as aim their appeal at the lower
orders of the proletariat, emerges from bout
with the eugenists with black eye, for they
call frankly for new arstocracy, based not
on wealth but on superior mental and moral
qualities which must not be allowed to be bred
out of the race in this era of large families
among the least fit and cebacy, childless mar
riages or marriages productive of but one or
two children among the majority of the most
desirable people.
The attack on democracy Is only apparent,
New-York tribune., 1921-10-30

however. The goal of the eugenists is not the
production of a genius or an Apollo here and
there by the mating of superintendent or
physically perfect men and women, as race
horse strains are developed but the increase
in numbers Of so large part of the cream of
the human species that these best elements will
inhltrate through vast proportion of the
population and raise the level of all, Their
object, as it is put by DR.. Rudolph NJ Binder,
of New York University, is simply "the pro-
duetion of fewer crab-apples of the human
family and more pippins.'
The exclusiveness of the intellectual and
moral aristocracy under present conditions and
its tendency to reproduce itself were strkingly
demonstrated number of years ago by Sir
Francis GaltOn, known as "the father of eu-
genics, who made study sof one thousand
men of eminence in England, each of whom
was selected as having such attainments as to
rank him as one man in four thousand This
list included judges, generals, statesmen, poets,
painters, scientists and clergymen.
"Sir Francis then examined the careers of
their relatives" says DR.. A. +. Tredgod of
Edinburgh, in describing the experiment. "and
among them found 80 eminent fathers, LA emf
nent brothers and 129 eminent sons; in all 1872
immediate relatives of the same degree of
eminence as those who were the subjects of his
New-York tribune., 1921-10-30

inquiry. Investigation into the next degree
OF kin showed the presence Of another 200 men
of the same eminence. Galton showed from his
researches that the chance Of a son of an emf
nent man showing eminent ability himself was
about 500 times great as that of the son
OF man taken at random l may remark that
Cations own genealogical tree is itself very
apt and striking confirmation of the facts
which he demonstrated, for, including the
allied families of Darwin and Wedgwood, there
have been no fewer than sixteen men of the
highest note"
Cations conclusions were visibly exempli-
fed at the eugenics congress here, for one
of its most prominent members was Major
Leonard Darwin, son of the great evolu-
zionist, Charles Darwin, who has carried on
the work his father began, developing it far
into the realms of anthropology
None of modern thinkers probably has
gone further with the dctum that the pos
sibility of achievement in life largely hangs
on ones family tree, and that mental ability
is stratifed in striking parallel to social
status, than William McDougall, professor of
psychology in Harvard University. None has
marshaled such a legion of facts, seemingly
inescapable, supporting this essentially aristo-
cratic doctrine None, incidentally, is more
pessimistic as to the future of the race than
Professor McDougall, unless it be Dr. de La
New-York tribune., 1921-10-30

pouge tor he demonstrates with startling sta
tlstics the poverty of offspring among the
best families and the disproportonate progeny
of the less desirable.
Professor McDougall quotes with approval
the conclusions of Professor Terman that su-
perior intelligence is approximately five times
as common among children of superior social
status as among children of inferior social
status.
professor Terman tells u.s. he continues,
that the group composed of exceptionally in
telligent children is ma de up almost entirely of
children whose parents belong 10 the profess
sional or very successful business classes.
The child Of 4 skilled laoore1 belongs here oc-
casionally; the child of common ab0rer very
rarely, indeed
Then comes Major Darwin with similar
warning that the civilization of the modern
world, which is now as compact unit as were
those Of ancient Greece and Rome may posi-
bly, be a is highest tide now and in peril
of the obb that has followed the climax of
great races through history
Il find no facts says Major Darwin,
(which refute the theoretical conclusion that
the .nborn qualities of civilized communities
are deteriorating, a process which must inev-
itably lead in time to an all around downward
movement. | cannot refrain from adding that
the United States has mighty future, on
which tie civilization Of the whole world de-
pends. 1t is, therefore, doubly incumbent on
its citizens to consider whether their best or
their worst stocks are multiplying most rap
idly. If it is the worst stocks and if no steps
are taken to remedy the evil, then this country
may in consequence miss an opportunity of
filling most glorious page in future history"

g IN FABRIC

Organisations interested in the sheep and WOO, ia
'duary. are bringing to bear all the influence they can in
favor of the Freneh-Capper 'trNth in fabric" bill which
is now pending in congress-, The bill which was intro
duced by Congressman French in the house and in the
senate by Senator Copper will compel textile manufac-
turers to label their ALI WOOL cloth With its content Of
virgin wool or shoddy, the purpose beine to inform the
purchaser as to the exact character of the cloth which
he is buying. The bill differs from existing legislation in
that 1t will compel branding and does not merely pro-
hibit misbranding.
of shoddy in cloth. What Is known as shoddy is merely
a cloth all broken up, re-spun and re-woven. II the
original cloth is all wool, the shoddy will be ali wool;
and a piece of cloth may be all wool and at the same
time all shoddy. shoddy is less desirable than virgin
wool because its 6bres are shorter and weaker: hence
will stand less wear. 1t appears that purchasers are some
times victimized by being given the impression that the
material which they purchase is of virgin wool when in
fact it Is composed in greater or less proportion OF shoddy.
The intent of the bill is to convey exact information to the
purchaser, thus to prevent preparation Of fraud.

TIE GRAIN GRADING CASE.

The federal circuit court of appeals has Just de-
clAfed the North Dakota grain grading law unconssitu-
uonsL This law was passed at the regular legislative ses-
sion OF 1919, and has been the subject Of more or less
controversy ever since. 1t created the Office of state in
spec4or. and directed that Official to establish grades and
seeds, and to provide a set Of rules and regulations under
Wh1ch grading should be conducted. The regulations
nave boen declared to be complicated and cumbersome
ana calculated to increase the expense of grain handling
an additional expense which must De borne by the farm
81. II has been alleged, also, that the grades established
are not correctly related to the real ouai lily OF ias Era;n-
notwithstanding this dissatisfaction. no lesa; steps
nave been taken by any of the OLD line elevator cc.,-
panies to contest the law: The sui, upon which a ruling
has just been given was brought By the Farmers, Eie,7-
tor company OF Emhden. y. D.. a concern owned ss 30
Gu farmers and managed under their direction The
chief objection to the law advanced by this COMPANY
was that it was in conflict with the federal law on the
came subject. The compliments professed themselves
willing TO be governed by either Law, but declared tina,
they could not obey two separate laws whose provisions
were in conflict. The purpose Of the sui, was 10 obtain
an authoritative decision as to which law governed. and
the ruling OF the superior court is that the state Law, be-
Ing In conflict with the federal statute. is void.
This suit was made to figure in the political cam.
palsn OF last fall. The Embden farmers had engaged
the law firm Of O'Connor g. johnson. Of Grand Forks
as their counsel. When Mr.. OConnor became 2 andi-
date Tor governor the Townley-Lemkc guns were turned
on NM the charge against him being that he was trying
o destroy a law which was toutcd as a part of The we'll
Known farmers program, the attempt being to give DO
color to what was purely a business transaction
~ WHICH as II happened, the people attacking what was
represented TO be the farmers program were themselves
farmers who found that there had been imposed on them
