! It is a well known fact that the
more intelligent and better class
have as a rule very limited fam
lily, while those Of the lower
walks of life as a rule have a
numerous family. Nature seems
to always equalize matters of this
kind and in the past ruthlessly
caused vast numbers of them to
perish before reaching maturity.
We were just as charitable then
as now md our reactions to their
needs just as cordial, and active in
response to their pleas for assis-
tance, but we were not so far ad-
vanced in knowledge, and our de-
sire to help was not effective.
Since acquiring the knowledge,
we have lowered infant mortality
to such an extent that compara-
lively few detectives die before
maturity. Nature is still on the
Job and has issued a call to the
great Philanthropists to get busy
and lessen the suffering of count
less thousands who in future will
be brought into the world with
an unfortunate inheritance and
at the same time prevent the
earth from becoming over-popu-
lated and by defective stock, and
the call is being responded to by
some of the greatest intellects
that the world contains.

FREIGHT RATES
BEING REVISED

The Department Of Communi-

that freight rates on the National
Railays have been undergoing re-
vision and that the work will be
finished soon. 1t was stated that
there are tariffs that have been
in force for more than fifteen
years and that these must neces-

By this method, which is being
supported and taught by the
worlds thinkers and prominent
educators, the hoped for universal
brotherhood of man will be assur-
ed and hastened. If, on the con-
trary, this method should fail of
adoption, it will require but a few
generations until the present trend
will bring US back to the state Of
uncivilized man, and, if the theory
of evolution is correct, back to
that monkey stage Of existence.
The character and personality
of adult man is dependent on three
factors, mentioned in the order of
their Importance, they are: heredi-
ty, environment and education.
Science has demonstrated that
mans mentality is entirely depend
ent on heredity; the training of
his mind is largely influenced BY
environment and finished by edu-
cation, so that he can make bet
ter use Of whatever mentality here
dity gave to him. This Is we'll
demonstrated in various lines
that men are educated in. Not
having received this education, he
would have been much less useful,
his mentality would have remain
ed the same.
The ardent supporters of
Eugenics propose to eliminate the
mentally and physically weak
arising from the poorer stocks and
by proper. and suitable rewards
stimulate the less defective to
greater increase. This, of course,
will not be done in the same man.
ner we raise registered and blood
ed animals, but will be accom-
pl'shed by education and birth con-
troll methods. which, when duly ex-
planned to them, will readily and
gladly be accepted by said defec-
tives.
Parents desiring their off
spring to partake of the advan-
Itages offered by Eugenics. should
keep a family record similar to
that now required by the life In
surance Companies. This record
should extend back as far as pos
sible and at least many genera
|tions. This information will be of
much benefit in many ways. The
family histories Of noted persons
have given us much knowledge on
this subject. Take that of the
two branches Of the Martin KILL
kak family. and that Of the Ed
wards family, they are very IL
Illuminating and convincine. The
descendants of Richard Edwards,
who married Elizabeth Tuthill.

president of Africa, the skids were
recently creased with proposition to
legislate new political Constitution
one under which the Governor would
have power to override the will Of the
voters of the Legislature, whenever he
thought the vital interests of the island
might be endangered. At the "test"
meeting Of the Legislature, however,
the majority Of elected members re
fused to accept the new constitution
upon the ground that the voice Of the
governed is Of paramount importance
as compared with the discretion of the
Governor, who, after all, is merely the
servant Of the people. Thus was de-
mocracy saved from crucifxion in

When the sale begins, the auction
Ger describes his wares. and then calls
for bids. The hand on the dial on the
platform starts to move up the range
OF prices, and whenever any bidder
wants to drop out, he signals such by
pressing the button on his chair.
When all have dropped out but one,
q bell rings and light flashes on the
dial board, and the highest bid Is thus
ascertained without any noise or con-

until Virtue had routed the Wrong.

with all the senses Of craftsmanship in
its highest grades, the Little Corporal
was snatched from our midst to meet

!. Carl Van vechten's 'Nigger
Heaven"
2. Exit: Two American Idols
3. Democrats Resort to Oratory
4. Democracy in Jamaica
5. The Little Corporal
Carl Van Vechten's "Nigger Heaven"
Carl Van Vechten, noted novelist,
has ground the grist Of certain phases
Of Negro life in Harlem, New York,
into a volume which he has seen fit
to designate as "Nigger Heaven" His
publishers say that the volume depicts
the heaven that the Harlem district
has provided for the new Negro the
Harlem Negro society that is variegat-
ed, racy, stolid, and very much like the
composition of other social orders else
where" The publishers and the author
argue jointly that narratives relating
to gambling, cabaret, and night life
among Negroes Of Harlem are not
touched upon by Negro writers, and
that social dangers lie in the pathway
Of negligence traversed by those who
fail to give the inside Of the cup Of the
Negroes social appetite, as described
by Van Vechten.
Mr.. Van Vechten is probably an I'M
prejudiced author, who, like a few Of
his contemporaries desires fulsomely
to put art and the spirit Of sincerity
into his works. Yet, Mr.. Van Vechten
has gone the way Of his predecessors
in his newest work dealing with Negro
social life. In fact, nearly all the white
novelists who deal with the Negro as a
topic consciously or otherwise, insist
upon emphasizing the side of the Ne
gro which is least important. Negro
social life, whatever it may be, blooms
out Of the melting pot Of white civil
ization. To satiate curiosity it is akin
to the social peculiarities of any segre-
gated or semi-segregated group, ha-
raised by certain irresistible forces
set loose by a dominant group. Even
50, it is none the less important in
period Of reconstruction such as both
Negroes and whites Of America are
facing today. The differentials in
Charleston dancing as between white
and colored performers are almost inn
material. The Negro lives under an
unrelenting strain. When relaxation
comes, it is certain to reach the height
Of unrestraint. Any psychologist
knows this. Were bar rooms in Amer
lea to be opened today at midnight,
more deaths from cardiac expansion
would result in America in one hour
than are recorded in England in
decade. The temporary lack Of re-
straint would overpower normally.
Thus, there is nothing, either strange
or engrossing about the night life Of
Harlem Negroes. There is nothing
materially constructive about 'Nigger
Heaven" Were white novelists, when
depicting Negro life, to deal with the
golden rule Of progress in America,
they would not only turn out absorb
ing stories, but they would add materi-
ally to the things for which the whole
world is striving.
