CHICAGO ElJGENICS

Eugenics, under one form or
another, continues to push itself
forward in an effort to make
40 per cent human race. 1t is
at best a proposition loaded with
dynamite, and, therel ore, some
thing to be handled by experts
only, and even then with the ut
most care. The psychopathic
laboratory Of the municipal court
in Chicago has not earned a high
standing in the scientific world.
but it seems to be imbued with the
spirit of the breezy city's motto:
81 will" 1t has Just rushed to a
plan for the sterilization Of men
and women who are potential par
ents Of socially inadequate" chill
dren, and it proposes measures
surprising anything ever heard of
before in this country.
A model law, we are told, is to
be presented to the Illinois legis-
lature, in which the Socially in
adequate are divided into classes
including "paupers, ne'er-do- wells.
orphans, cripples and the blind"
The idea is preposterous and
sounds like an unseemly joke.
Passing ever the inclusion of cor
phans," which is either absolute
greatness or Typographical en-
ror, the proposition may be attack
ed upon any one of the other four
heads. Full power, practically of
life and death, is to be vested in
state eugenicist to be appointed
by the governor. After this lord
high executioner has made his
survey and prepared his little list,
the victims are to be brought into
court, and then-if judge or jury
turns thumbs down-the state eu-
genicist will be ordered to do his
work "in skillful, safe and hui
name manner"
There can be no such thing as a
safe and humane manner" in any
procedure Of that sort. There may
be some excuse for the suggestion
made in his recent message by
Governor Denny Of Delaware that
the Predetermined be treated in
this fashion-although even that is
open to serious question-but the
Chicago proposition is intolerable.
Who can say that any pauper is
hcnelessly incurable, or that a
shiftless man or woman may not
be shaken 'out of a temporary
lethargy? The cripples and the
blind men Of this country, includ-
ing, to mention but one such a
group, the most brilliant of Amer
lean electrical engineers, will rise
up and crush these pseudo-scien-
fists of Chicago with a record of
achievements under handicap that
has excited the admiration of the
world.

CANNOT BE STOPPED

No action of the North Dakota legislature any other
organization stop the better highways in the
nation The legislature may halt the program for North
Dakota, may restrict it it may broaden it, but with
the continued increase in the number of automobiles the
fact that are being brought within the reach of the
great bulk OF people in price the increase the of
trucks farms, the great good roads movement 60
ing on.
1t is of simple fact that transportation
economical good roads than bad roads, and the
automobile who Fay something additional to get
good roads in lower running costs There
100000 automobiles in North Dakota and 100000 people.
On the usual basis of figuring population of five to family
these figures would indicate that veSevens of the families
of the state have automobiles.
The demand for abolition of the state highway commits
founded either seshness upon fale premise
it cannot be said that engineers not fitted to build
roads than any individual in county township without
engineering training
There too many good roads in county which be-
aton ranscends county lines to lesser degree state lines
and is the latter premise that the national government
has appropriated hundreds of millions of dollars for building
of roads.
highway commission dominated by engineers If there had
been highway commission in North Dakota the great
Missouri river bridge would have been built If there
is highway commission the people of Fargo will
get federal aid for building bridge the Red River
If there highway commission North Dakota will have
system of local roads, patched system North Dakota
will fall by the wayside in the great national movement and
her peope will feel when tourists turn their paths through
other states.
The legislature can well afford to take steps to bring the
under the direction of engineers of the state highway
mission If investigation should show the high
commission at fault there still would be for
condemng the system And the road work of the state
compshed real step in program of economy and eff
cheney.
