Thirty-two million in cash and securi ties, guarded by two lines of special policemen will be transferred in au tomobiles by the Brooklyn institution today, while $50,000,000 in cash and $300,000,000 in securities goes to the new home of the National City Bank just across the street from the old building on Sunday. ;in the matter of the legal sterilization of all manner of human perverts and weaklings; and it is peculiarly valu able testimony since it comes from one of the very best of Astoria's good women, one who, daring to think, dares to declare her conclusions for the good of humanity. It reads as follows: "Editor of the Morning Astorian; - Dear Sir: I, as a reader of your valu able paper, was greatly pleased to sec the fearless way in which you, with terse and graphic editorial comment, recently published the communication of Dr. Owens-Adair, and in which yoa proclaimed your advocacy of thi betterment of human society along the lines prescribed by her. "Now in regard to this law of her edity of which Dr. Adair speaks and seeks to make good upon, we know that the 'sins of the father are visile j upon the children from generation to generation and remain with us inter minaDly, wnne we do Out little, In a scinetific and logical way, to minimize and banish them; and actually foster them instead, by too slavish a devo tion to tradition and custom. "All of our public institutions, a"sy lums, penitentarics, reformatories, are literally menaces to human advance ment, when looked upon from a hu manitarian standpoint; and this fact of itself is one of the stoutest pleas that may be offered for Dr. Adair's proposed route to human freedom. None of these blasting ills are new; they are old as time itself. The poor human entity can only break itself against the solid law of moral nature, and so we must revert to the laws of men wise in their generation for the only relief, which, in the larger sense, is available. Therefore, why not try this certain expedient? It is always well to face the truth, especially when we are on the quest of world-wide good such as is bound up in this tre mendous problem. And think of the ever accumulating burdens of taxation involved in the useless ourses we have pursued to relieve and protect the helpless and the vicious.

Everybody Seems to be Awake to the Advantage of Early Shopping. With the largest and most varied assortment of holiday goods we have ever presented; with prices as low as can be offered on things of such ideal quality, the search for proper gifts and needed mer chandise appropriate to the glad season can profitably and satisfac torily begin and end hare. We cannot urge too strongly the import ance of immediate shopping. Ample as our stocks are, perfect and complete as is our organization of salespeople, the rush of the last day choosers is sure to deplete assortments and render service less prompt and satisfactory. Now all our lines are intact and promi nently displayed, and service is at the very maximum of excellence. Plenty of room for inspection, plenty of time for the showing of things, and the fullest scope is offered for choice. Everything to be gained by shopping NOW -much to be lost by delaying. uOd perjury, drunkenness, with no way of reaching such, even by moral suasion, because they are 'dead in sin', caring for nothing except to evade law, and much of this is fostered by misdirect ed sympathy, wrongly used wealth", called charity. The weak should, be hedged about and guarded against themselves by resorting to the means which are used so effectively upon the lower and much less dangerous ani mals, which, without any compunc tion whatever we render harmless. So may we not go a step farther and re move this awful menace of dumb help less grief with which we are burdened and for whose restraint and for whose keeping we are so grievously burden- Hams jgeper lb.
