Application of Biological Law
Declared Americas Great
est Salvation.

Civilization Is steadily weakening
the human race, and nothing But the
application of the laws of biology to
mankind will save America from
sinking into obscurity. Albert Edward
Wiggam. author of THE New Deca-
logue of Science" and The Fruit of
the Family Tree" said in a lecture at
the Church of the Redeemer Wednes-
day night.
by the achievements of medicine
and hygiene. by the care of charita-
bic institutions and by the generous
but short-sighted application of the
golden rule which makes life easier
for the unfit" he said, I'VE are max
ing the world safe for idiocy. We
are allowing the insane, the unfit, the
diseased and the imbeciles to sur
vive and to propagate more of their
own kind, whereas in the rougher
conditions of barbarism, they would
naturally die out because of their in
ability to cope with their environ
ment.
Emergency Measures.
Religion. morality and the golden
rule are merely emergency measures
which may aid the immediate situa-
tion but do not strike at the root of
the trouble, which is that under pres
ent conditions the families OF low in
telligence and ability are outbreeding
the families of higher intelligence
and development at an enormous
rate"
Mr.. Wiggam declared the only way
to put the human race on a higher
plane and to put halt to the present
deterioration was to make II econom-
ically possible for the higher types to
propagate more rapidly. and to dis
courage, and in extreme cases, pre-
vent by law, the breeding Of unfit and
under-deveioped children.
He cited as an example a suburb of
New York where low salaried clerks
and Office workers were encouraged
to raise families by providing them
with pleasant homes in health, sur
roundings for $40 a month rent, and
suggested as corresponding measures,
dissemination of birth control knowl-
edge among the poorer and less COM
petent of the laboring classes, and
compulsory sterilization of the unfit.

Judge John w. Willis, President of
N. A. .A.C.P. Returns From Tropics
Will Give Graphia Talk on "Ra-
cial Conditions in the Tropics"
at N. A. A. c. p. Mass Meeting
Sunday.

Judge John w. Willis. president Of
the st. Paul Branch, N. A. A. c. p,
returned recently from trip to the
West Indies, Cartagena, Columbia
and the Panama Canal Zone. At
Kingston. Jamaica he was much i'm
pressed with its beauty and public
buildings, hotels, churches, schools,
parks and gardens.
The Cathedral of st. Mary, of
semi byzantine Roman architecture
and stately stone construction, erect
ed about twenty years ago, the Judge
said, is a wonderful edifice. One
thing very noticeable to him was the
mixed congregation, made up Of
white and black people. All Of the
ushers are colored men and many of
the pews in the best location of the
church are maintained by prominent
Negro 1amnes. .-
At Cartagena, Columbia, some of
the leading business men are colored
men. They are engaged in various
kinds of enterprise. from the small
shop to the ownership of large ware
houses, where they superintend ship
ments Of merchandise to all parts OF
the world. There is no racial dis
elimination; Spanish is the language
spoken. The people are very hos
pitable and greet the strangers with
a welcome handshake.
One of the interesting sights the
Judge witnessed was the Panama
Canal, a great feat of engineering
skill in which our fellow townsman,
John S. Stevens, was a contributor.
1t was Mr.. Stevens who built the
dykes that prevented the land slides
that threatened the abandonment Of
the huge undertaking by the govern
ment. Through this veritable lake,
each day, hundreds of ships with ton
mage fro mall the world ports pass
through, and by so doing save dis
tance of over 5000 miles. The ships
pay Uncle Sam fee in proportion to
tonnage. One large freighter paid a
tax of $29, 900 in gold. Judge Willis
said that the canal was big asset
to the government and was paying a
handsome dividend from the revenue.
Upon his return to New York the
Judge visited the headquarters of the
N. A. A. C. p, where he met DR.. Du-
bois, James w. johnson. Messrs.
White, Bagnall and others, and was
given a warm reception. He stated
that the work there is ably conducted
in an orderly manner without fric-
tion.
Mrs. Willis accompanied her hus-
band on the trip, and both were re-
newed in vigor and health.
Judge Willis is to speak at st.
James A. NJ. E. Church, corner Jay
and Fuller streets, Sunday night at
s o'clock, where he will give a
graphic talk on the racial condition
in the tropics, as observed by him on
his trip. His many friends who have
arranged this lecture invite the pub
lie to attend.
