EUGENICS II THEME
Homeopathists Discuss Race
Improvements.
THEORIES ARE ADVANCED
Speakers Recommend Euthanasia
for Criminals, Degenerates and
the Insane, With Chloro
form as the Method.
The last day's session of the .annual
convention of the Oregon Homeopath
Medical Society -was an interesting one
as one of the best papers of the entire
meeting was read and widely discussed.
Dr. Ella K. Dearborn, under the gen
eral head of eugenics or race improve
ment, handled the subject of "No- Dan
ger of Race Suicide." giving some very
pronounced ideas on the subject.
"None of my ideas are new," she said
in the after-discussion. "They have
been advanced In various garbs many
times, but the world Is not yet ready
for them. There will come a time when
just such theories as I have advanced
today will be accepted as the only
safeguard for Improvement of the
race."
Dr. Dearborn considered her sub
ject under three heads, taking first
euthanasia. She considers that for the
proper perpetuation of the human race
it is necessary to do away with crimi
nals, degenerates and the insane. For
this easy death she deemed chloroform
the best remedy. After putting these
undesirable elements out of the way,
she took up the subject of having a
state board of examiners for matri
monial candidates in order to insure
only hcaltky and physically perfect
progeny. Only those who are able to
pass the physical examination with a
high standard should be allowed to
propagate the race, others of insuffi
cient health or physical strength being
submitted to artificial sterilization.
Dr. George "VVIgg. presiding, took
Xart in the discussion which followed,
declaring that it was not possible at
the present time to take any legal
steps in the matter; as it was simply a
question of moral education. Dr. J. K.
Reader and Dr. Wlgg were also heard
In an entertaining medical discourse.
The afternoon programme was taken
up by the discussion of gynaecology,
obstetrics, ophthalmology, otology and
laryngology, and while not of Inter
est to the laity was thoroughly enjoyed
by the delegates.
There were several distinguished vis
itors present yesterday, among them
Dr. Mary Cronemiller. Sacramento; Dr.
S. M. Siewers. Cincinnati; Dr. Cora
Smith Eaton, a prominent surgeon of
Minneapils; Rev. Anna H. Shaw, Dr.
E. R. Kellogg, of Los Angeles; Dr. Kuy
kendall. New York; Dr. Charles E.
Grove and wife, Spokane; and Dr. C H.
Atwood, Eugene. The convention ad
journed yesterday afternoon.

members of the American Library As
sociation yesterday. The steamer left
dxkck at S o'clock in the mornlnjsJ
and it was shortly before 5 o'clock in

for scenic beauty the ride from Port
land to The Dalles cannot be excelled.
Some of the delegates left last night
for their homes, but a large party re
mained in Portland for a few days'
visit to the Exposition. During the
convention the delegates were so busy
with matters vital to the Interests of
their association that they took little
time for pleasure.

BOOSTERS are always plentiful at the
Exposition. Every building contains
them Jand every one has the same
tireless energy when It comes to boosting
his own locality.
A pair of boosters got together yester
day rooming In the Dakota section of the
Agricultural building. One was from Da
kota, the other belongs In Oregon. They
had It hot and heavy about the respect
ive merits of their two states. Finally
the Dnkotan admitted that there was
just one thing lacking about Dakota.
"Just run a range of mountains down
through the center of our country." he
said, "and put some timber on them and
throw In a lot of streams to Irrigate with,
and throw a few tons of gold and silver
around in the hills, and I tell you there
won't be a place In the world to compare
with Dakota.'
"Oh, that's easy." said the Oregon
booster. "Oregon can let you have all
those things. We've got so much, you
know, that we wouldn't miss what you
would need to make a great state out of
North Dakota."
This Is a story of extortion over In the
Massachusetts building. Commissioner
Wilson H. Falrbank. who in private life
Is a wealthy business man of Boston,
dropped a diamond stud Into a wash-sink
recently. Thc stone was valued greatly
by htm because of being an heirloom, and
he rushed for a plumber with all the
haste displayed by an appendicitis vic
tim after a doctor. He found a callous
youth from St. Louis, who has some In
sight into plumbing, and led him to the
scene of trouble.
"Wc must act quickly, Mr. Falrbank."
said the plumber, "but this Is a peculiar

for my services."
The- Hay State man protested, but not
wishing to take chances on his stone,
handed over the fifty. "Whereupon tho
polite robber aforesaid ran a pair of nip
pers down the pipe and drew out the dia
mond, the performance occupying prob
ably half a minute.
"You aro a blamed robber, sir, and"
began the Massachusetts man.
"One minute, Mr. Falrbank." Inter
rupted the plumber. "I want to ask you
a question."
"Well, what is It?" muttered the Com
missioner. "You are a business man. aren't you.
and have been Interested In a number of
big business and real estate deals Is
that not so?"
"I am and I have." said Mr. Falrbank.
wondering what the ' fellow was driv
ing at.
"Well." concluded the plumber, with a
touch of Irony In his voice, "did you ever
make a whole thousand dollars In half a
minute without turning over your hand
and was It called robbery or god busi
ness policy?"
"When Theodore Roosevelt used to live
in that crudft little cabin that Is shown In
the North Dakota booths, he was not
altogether a popular speaker, so Farmer
"Wallace, of the North Dakota Commis
sion, states, and Farmer "Wallace ought
to know. For he lived near the Roosevelt
cabin when the Roosevelt cabin was built,
and saw a rather sickly, rather hollow
chested young man grown into a speci
men of sturdy manhood In a very few
years, under the exhilarating influence of
Dakota frontier life.
"Roosevelt was living a few miles from
Dickinson." said Farmer "Wallace. He
was known to be an educated person
from New York, and as a matter of
course the committee on Fourth of July
thought he ought to be placed down for
a speech. On the Fourth of 1S84. young
Roosevelt appeared on the platform of
Dickinson, and was greeted with cheers.
It was a typical cow settlement, and the
boys like to have old King George and
the English licked over again about as
well as they liked their liquor.
But what did Mr. Roosevelt do? He
never said a word about old King George
and the English, or how America could
lick the whole blanked world with ono
hand tied. He wandered off Into an ex
planation of what constitutes good citi
zenship. He told them that If they ex
pected permanent benefit from the future
they must be respecters of law and or
der and must work to the Interest of bet
tering the community.
"I dare say there wasn't a sign of ap
plause during the whole time he wa3
speaking, and Mr. Roosevelt had to sit
down rather chagrined, amid an ominous
silence. It wasn't the kind of talk the
boys wanted.
"So Justice of the Peace Clark he got up
next and made a whooping speech about
how we bested the English lion and pum.
meled poor old King George .until he
yelled 'nough. and such a lot of cheering
you never heard before in your life. Th3
boys just gave Clark an ovation.
"I reckon about 24 years have passed
since then." concluded Farmer "Wallace,
"and Clark's still laying down the law
up in Dickinson and selling- little pieces of
real estate for a living. I understand
Roosevelt's got a little bit better job than
that. You see, you can't always gauge
a man by the amount of cheers he can
draw out of a lot of frontier cowbovs."
