Eugenics t:> public M t'oois. it is i in-
tended by many, wc-< Id 1 • dangerous
to the chastity and p-inty of niljig
generations. C'tlnr* , .itend that it is
a study necessary for tin preservation
of the races, and the perpetuity of tin
home. Give the aposilts of eugenics
full rein and there :> no telling just
how far they would go in propagating
their cult and Instilling their creed
Into the minds of the young. The
world, it seems, is fad .Ileal and fanati-
cally mad along some lines of thought
and endeavor—so much so, in fact,
that we must shudder for the future.
11 we were only permitted to pap into
It. In England the eugenics have
gone further'anil grown more radical
than the advocates in this country. In
dealing with the English phase of the
Mibject, the Dallas Times Herald ar-
gues that the moral soundness of a
nation depends upon the pu.ity of its
■women. The vast number of men who
have been made good citizens ly the
influence of pure-minded mothers and
faithful wives cannot It estimated
The English government realizes this
fact. Therefore the English govern-
ment has very properly lined one Ar-
thur Busch-Mltcheil of the British
Eugenic Society, who Issued the fol-
lowing Insulting circular to the un-
married women of England:
sorted and friendless." Tlie loss of
the horse Is to be deplored.
"At this time of national emergen - jj„g 0f the steamship Lualtanla, con-
ey, when men are hocnrdlng their all stitute a scries of events, which the
cn land and sea, no girl of independ-
ent means, gifted with sound health
and strength, should shirk the risks
and responsibilities or the odium of
producing one well conditioned child
to the community."
A devilish proposition that strikes
nt the very base of Christian society.
A frankly Immoral proposal which, if
made on the streets of Dallas to a
Dallas woman, would cause the maker
of the sinister suggestion to be arrest-
ed for indecent conduct
There is no danger of the girls of
Great Britain heeding the suggestion
of this moral perverter England and
Scotland and Ireland hold too stead-
fastly to the faith in Christian mar-
riages for that. But, even if this
man's message were to find lodgment
In the hearts of maidens, the foul ef-
fects of his advice would defeat the
end he seeks. The end he seeks is an
Increase in population so that England
may secure, so far as attacks by en< -
mits are concerned, that safety thut
lies in numbers.
Government of toe United States has
observed with growing concern, tils-
tress and amazement.
"That the American citizens act
within their indisputable rights- in
taking their ships and in traveling
wherever their legitimate business
calls them upon the high seas, and
exercise those rights in what should
be the well-Justified confidence that
their lives will not be endangered by
aits done in clear violation of univer-
sally acknowledged international obli-
gation, and certainly in the confidence
that their own Government will sus-
tain them In the exercise of their
rights. The Government and people
of the United States look to the Im-
perial German Government for Just,
prompt and enlightened action In this
vital matter with the greater confi-
dence because the United States and
Germany are bound together not only
by special ties of frie ■ .jhlp, but also
by the explicit stipulations of the
treaty of between the United
, states and the Kingdom of I'russia.
The end he would secure w ould be i.-

Leo l'ranl>, the Atlanta factory su-
perintendent, convicted of the murder
of Mary 1'hugan, factory girl, hus
been sentenced ami his execution set
for July ill'. Frank and his uttorneys
have fought his case through ull of
the courts and back again. 1'ublic
sentiment has rendered its verdict In
his favor several times, but the law
has been insistent in its demands, unci
now Iao Frank must suffer the pen-
alty for a murder which he stoutly
denies having committed, and for
which tlie nation, almost, holds him
guiltless. They believe him the vic-
tim of perverted truth and tho testi-
mony of perjured witnesses. But the
law of the land must be upheld, anil
in doing this the several courts have
set the seal of condemnation upon
Frank Only Frank and his Creator
know of his guilt or innocence. Who
cist cun know?
A CAMPAIGN WITH RKSl'l/J'S.
The St. Louis Star tells a story of a
lly-kllling campaign In that city,
which has a humorous as well as a
practical side.
Women of tlu- Consumers' league,
In the light for purity of food mipplies,
started an early campaign against tho
fly. They offered to buy flies at 10
cents the hundred, and immediately
the school children got busy, with tills
result:
Tne day's returns totaled more
than 00,000, which mcunt that
more than $00 hud to bo paid out.
The women soon found their
available cash exhausted In the
face of this unexpected demand,
and had to issue certificates of
Indebtedness to many school
children.
Not only that, but in two additional
small school districts the children
demanded pay for the swatting of
24,000 flies—total, $24.
The women were duinfounded, nnd
doubted that so many flies could have
been killed in so short a time, at this
early season.
The health commissioner was up-
pealed to nnd investigation proved
thut the children's accounts were cor-
rect, and thut they hud rendered val-
uable service to the health board in
locating dangerous breeding places of
the universal pests. While proving
that they were pretty fair financial
experts, school children have also
demonstrated their ability to safe-
guard the health Interests of their
city.
Besides, the well-conducted cam-
paign is a matter of pride and Import-
tance to them from a financial stand-
point. Tljey aro the juvenile creditors
of the Consumers' league,
Hig Sandy had about lost her place
in the un and to regain it the citizens
of the town w-nt out and lynched a
negro.
Again the fact Is potent that the
of vir- f"'rmnn submarine is a most powerful
irgument to cur Idle rich to see
Vmrricu first.

Hut such is the way of tlie world.
A in,in may do a thousand good deeds
and people take no notice, but one
mistake will give them spasms for a
week. A woman may have lived it
spotless life, but one indiscreet act Is
enough lo damn her in the eyes of so-
ciety.
The (lovernor tins reconimended to
the Legislature an appropriation cov-
ering tho purchase of lands In Wash-
ington county on which the tlrst eapi-
tol of tlie slate was located. The mes-
sage submitting the subject was
couched In patriotic terms, rich In
sentiment and beautiful In metaphor.
That the appropriation will be made
goes without saying.—Ucnlson Herald.
And It would be right nnd proper
for Texas to make the Investment.
We are too careless In this regard. Wo
allow our historic spots and buildings
to go neglected und dee ay, or be torn
away through the greed of commer-
cialism. At Nacogdoches there stood
until a few years ago an old fort. It
wns an historic old building nnd
should have been preserved for all
time. But the spirit of commercialism
ruled and the old fort wns torn away
to give place to a modern building. It
was nil right to erect the new build-
ing, but in its building one of the
most Interesting relics of the country
before It I eon me Texas was destroy-
ed.
