PooIroon1s

q. . y.
ETl WO Indianapolis youths-1s
and 16 years old--are in city
l- prison for murder and rob-
berry. They confessed to the hold
up and fatal shooting Of a Licking
ton Ave. street car conductor last
week.
They needed money, which they
tried to raise with a stolen gun.
They were successful. The attempt
Melted them $7in cash and murder
charge.
The boys became acquainted while
loaf1ng around poolrooms. 1t was
from a poolroom they started on
their short career of brigandage.
Also it was in a poolroom that Of
flcer located and arrested one of
them after the crime.
Pool may be stimulating physical
and intellectual recreation. Never
theless its most ardent defender
must admit that the poolroom
graduates more outlaws than moral
leaders.
The average hole-in-the-wall pool
room contributes very little to the
bodily, mental or ethical develop
ment of society. -
Frequently 1t is nothing more
than dive, a hang-out, a training
school for shiftlessness and law
lessness. There idle, hayward
youths loaf until their criminal pin
feathers sprout.
Perhaps Indianapolis Is no more
speckled with these unsavory places
than other cities. However it has
enough to supply the local demand
for bandits. They must be dis
infected before any real city clean
up is possible.

Lobbyists
GOVERNOR

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Ill VAN ORMAN has announced
IL that lobbyists win not be al
lowed on the floor of the Senate dur
ing sessions. Speaker Leslie will
similarly curb them in. the House
The lot Of the poor lobbyist in these
degenerate days should wiring tear
from kiln-dried brick.
Formerly he was an imperious
ringmaster. He strobe into the Les
islative arena. cracked his whip and
bills leaped through hoops or skunk
back to their cages.
That Golden Age is past. Now
the lobbyist must procure a license
-at cost of $2-before he can ply
his trade. What an indignity to in
tiict on the sensitive nature of a
professional fixer!
The rule just promulgated is a
more serious blow to his dignity
No longer can he appear on the
floor and STAY legislator with a
meaning look. He must slip the
disobedient solon Knockout drops
elsewhere.
Still restrictions have mot elimi-
mated lobbying. Nor viii they Spe--
ciah interests and organizations
sponsoring hobbies will always have
agents present to influence legisla-
tive action.
The Legislature itself must always
do the lobbying for the interests of
all the people. Only to the extent
that it does will it earn its pay.

BY HERBERT QUICK

N Mexico last year many
more than half of all deaths
- were those of children. Mex
leo is becoming civilized; for we
learn that the government is stirred
by this high death rate among the
little ones. The fact that the gov
eminent has collected the statistics
shows progress. Its concern over
them shows it still more plainly.
Such as the showing is, let us
see what it means, not only as to
Mexico. but the world. 1t means
one or both of two things-that
the people of Mexico are still on a
low plane of civilization or are
ground down by poverty. In the
Mexican case, it probably means
both.
! Where the people are poor, their
children die in childhoodin nuIae..se
numbers. If great poverty prevails.
AS the Scriptures say, 1.-THE rich
MAS wealth is his strong city; the
destruction of the poor is their pow
erty.' With intelligent and highly
civilized peoples, however, in some
cases, the death rate among the
children is not. high even among the
very poor, 1t is so in certain con-
gested sections of our large cities
where sanitation and to some extent
diet is looked after by governmental
or philanthropic agencies.
Rate in Proportion
Infant mortality is largely in pro-
portion too the birth-rate. The more
children a women has the more Of
them die. This comes FROM several
causes. The chief Of them is that
on the average people so low in in
telligence as to lack all foresight
in the matter of becoming parents
have the largest families. There
are exceptions to this rule. but they
are not so numerous as to affect the
statistics much.
They may lack foresight and it's
resultant control over the birth-rate
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-01-16
THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN

cases their birth-rate is high and
the death-rate among their children
is correspondingly high. The Chi
nese are the classic instance of the
prevalence Of all these factors MAX
ing for a high birth-rate. These
factors must affect the future popu.
lation of the United States as well.
In esuch a Nation as ours the
Government will look more and more
to the saving of the lives of the
children. Thus sanitation and the
betterment Of diet, more or less en-
forced, will gradually prevent the
deaths of children in large families.
This will save many splendid chill
dren; but in the long run it will
give the advantage in the struggle
for existence to strains Of people
who lack the intelligence to con-
troll their birth-rate.
Natural Limit
1t will remove the natural limit
which moronism places upon its
own multiplication. 1t is. one of the
disadvantages of philanthropic activi-
ties among the submerged tenth and
of state effectiveness in sanitation
that it creates an advantage for
hereditary weakness in the. matter
of exemption from its own natural
penalties, which tends to destroy the
very civilization itself through the
slow deterioration of the population
through the survival of the unfit.
The Mexican death-rate among
the children is tragic; but the think
er may get what comfort he can
from the thought that in the main
it prevents the increase Of the I'M
fit. The highest task of the Mexi-
can government should be 10 extir-
pate the poverty. do away with the
ignorance from which comes insani-
tary conditions, and to see to 1t that
the demonstrably unfit do not have
children. Thus Mexico could save
her children and gradually save her
self from having the millions who
should not be born.
The reader may draw his own pre-
scription for the United States.
