Today's Thought
 By REV. KENNETH OWENS

Here I am, my Lord."-I Samuel
 22-12. Before Thy feet, O gracious Lord, I bow in humble prayer, And seek in Thy resplendent faith Surcease from my despair. Remembering my weakness, too, I strengthen faith by deeds, And lift my face, to Thine, and pray Though heart and spirit bleeds. Out of the darkness to the light, I find my blundering way I know that night must disappear And welcome each new day. tenderly on the couch, flung open the windows and hurried for some water.

TEQUILA Is SEIZED
Man From San Antonio Held for
Smuggling Liquor.

For the second time within the last
few days. a coupe has figured in al
legged rum running in the border coun-
try. the second time being Monday
night, when the coupe containing Jag
bottles of tequila was seized by Gus
toms officers near Sabinal, according
10 information received by Assistant
Collector of Customs Ed Cotulla.
One man. arrested in connection
with the seizure. is said to be from
San Antonio. Customs officers base
their belief that he is from San An
tonic on the fact that he sent mes
sage to a garage here. asking that he
be furnished with bond. He will b.
charged with violation Of the customs
laws which forbid the possession of
smuggled liquor. Mr.. Cotulla said.
Another coupe with 240 bottles Of
tequila was seized near Eagle Pass
several days ago, according TO the re-
port to the customs house here. Gus
toms officials regard these seizures as
being indicative of an attempt to re-
vive rum running trade from the bor-
der to the interior of Texas.

SAYS UPPER MIDDLE
CLASSES IN AMERICA
AND ENGLAND DYING
Heavy Taxes Cause of De-
creased Propagation,
Pastor Claims.

London. March 24.-Upper middle
classes in Great Britain and the
United States are dying out. the Very
Rev. w. X. Inge, 1.-THE Gloomy Dean ="
of st. Paul's Cathedral, declared in
lecture here.
In Great Britain. particularly,
Dean Inge said. the determination of
the upper middle classes is being
among the officer classes during the
war; and since the war because of
the crushing taxation of the profess
sional classes.
in London, one Stun area has
birth rate of IL per thousand" Dean
Inge said. I'm another area-an up
per middle class one-the birth rate
is Q per thousand. No one dare say
that this change in the composition
of the people is other than a change
for the worse.
"The feeble minded class is 30
per cent more prolific than the nor
NAL classes. Since 1850 the number
of insane persons has increased by
230 per cent.
1.-THE lowest birth rate is found
among doctors, teachers and ministers
Of the gospel. You could not find
three professions containing a greater
amount of intelligence, good physique
and good character. and it is they
who are dying out here and in Amer
tea.
There is real intrinsic inherited
superiority in certain social strata
as compared with others, and there
is going at present in all communities
and particularly in our own, pro-
cess by which the worst strains arc
multiplying and the best scarcely
keeping up their own.
Il am not maintaining that the
rich are more desirable parents than
the poor. The enormous birth rates
belong TO the slums, not TO the
energetic and capable working class.
"There is only one physically de
sirable class which has a high birth
rate-the miners.
The state should undertake TO
educate certain number only in each
family. This would tend TO restrict
the birth rate by making the father
educate children in excess OF this
number at his own cost.
absolutely reckless propagation OF
the unfit should be checked. L de-
preciate the introduction Of drastic
methods such as sterilization until
more is known of the laws of heredi-
ty; but the violent prejudice against
eugenics, INDUCED in by the major
ity of socialists, great many &c.
clesiastics. and a large number of
sentimentalists who are neither. is
not only unfortunate, but is wicked
thing"
