THE CAPITAL CITY
New Equipment, Good S?rv
ice, and Some of It Ex--clusive
for This City
' T. A. and R. II. Windlshar,
proprietors of the Capital City
laundry, located at 1264 Broad
way announce that they have en
joyed a steadily increasing: volume
ot business, since they purchased
the 'laundry in January. The
s plant - Is thoroughly -modern in
every respect, and so conducted as
to meet the requirements of all
-customers.
Electricity RuiM Machine
The machines are all run by
electricity. " Steam is used' only
for the i heating of the ir oners,
and that because a steam heated
Iron trill not burn a piece ot cloth,
hile an electric iron- will burn
a piece of cloth- very quickly.
Three trucks are kept busy collec
ting and delivering bundles about
the eity. One of these trucks Is
a recent purchase from the Valley
Motor company, y The v company
claims the distinction of - having
the only curtain dryer, or form,
in the city. This dryer consists
of s rack on which the curtains
are fastened, and a steam heated
cabinet Into which the rack, with
the curtains attached, is slid,? The
curtains dry very quickly in this
dryer, and they do not shrink in
the process. The company has on
.its payroll 26 .employees, and it
is expected that this number will
LaU IY GROW G
be Increased, as business permits.,
Free Repair Service t
A finished, rough dry, and wet
4 wash service has always been of
fered by the company, and they
-are now Installing an all hand
work service for those who are to
take advantage of it. A free re

WILL TIE COil WITH WILL
BE 0 FEEBLE MiDED IN OREGOiJ
A Good Beginning' Has Been Made in a System of Elimina
tion That Promises This Very Thing A Promise That
,.:the Race of Feeble Minded People May Run Out A
Hopeful Outlook, Certainly
Every one talks. Talking seems
to be the favorite pastime ' ( ot
many people,' and their talk.ia not
always confined to those subjects
with which they are familiar.
Feeling that one of the subjects
about which there has been much
talk, and probably about which
many of the talkers do not know
a great deal, Is an act passed; by
the Oregon legislature of two
years ago, the writer of this ar
ticle will try to make the' aim
the success of the act clear.
, To Stop the Breed 1 '
This act Is an act providing for
the sterilization of all male or
female persons who have -been ex
amined by competent -examiners
and found to be feeble minded,
insane, epileptic, criminally in
clined, or degenerate, and who
through procreation would ' un
doubtedly bring Into 'the " world
children with the a bore tenden
cies. The board of : examiners
must first make sure that there
is no likelihood of the said per
son improving to such, an extent
as to avoid such consequences. ,
State Board of Eugenics 1
In the same act is a section
which provides for the creation of
a state board of eugenics, tp be
composed of the state board of
health, the superintendent of the:
Oregon state hospital, the; super-!
Intendent ot the Eastern 'Oregon!
state hospital, the superintendent
of the state institution for the!
feeble minded, and the superin-j
tendent of the state' penitentiary
and In another section of the same
act it Is stipulated; ihatKW jshaU
be the duty of the "State board
eugenics to examine 'into .the; in
nate traits, the mental and phyj
sical conditions, the' personal rec
ords, and family traits and bIsfo
ries of all of the persons so re
ported, so far as the same can be
ascertained.- and if in. the judge
ment ' of a - majority of the said
board procreation by 'such person
would produce a child or children
having an inherited tendency to
feeble mindedness, Insanity epi
lepsy, criminality or degeneracy
or who would probably become a
social menace or ward of the state,
and there Is no probability' that
the condition of such person so
investigated and examined !' will
Improve to such an extent as to
avoid such consequences, then it
shall be the duty of such board
to make an order embodying its
conclusions with reference to such
person , ia. said respects and speci
fying euch a type of sterilization
as may be deemed by said board
best suited to the condition of said
person and most likely to produce
the beneficial results in the res
pects specified In this section." j.
, Slake Quarterly Reports - !
. In the section directly preceding
the one just quoted Is the stipula
tion that the superintendents 0f
the various Institutions ' must re
port to the state board of eugenics
quarterly all persons, male or fe
male, who are feeble minded, ip
sane. epileptic, habitual criminals,
moral degenerates and sexual per-'
verters, who are, or in his opinion
are likely to become, a menace to
society. ' - j -1 ' ) j f f

upon , must first give his or;ler

Ora T? o , ' - e'.cr!, i S.

consent, and that the nearest rela
tives must agree to the operation,
or. If there be no relative the cus
todian or some close friend of the
patient, must give sanction to the
operation. It this sanction Is not
given the state' has recourse to
law, but so far it has not 'been
found necessary to use this meth
od pf securing the sanction of the
Interested parties.
j . One of the Advantages
One of the chief arguments' in
favor of this act is that it makes
possible the release' from the in
stitutions of persons who if prop
erly cared for can do no harm
to society, and are capable of
doing some work In properly man
aged. This release frees the state
from the burden of supporting
such persons, and makes room for
persons ' who need the attention
more acutely. Of course the big
argument in favor of the act Is
that it is the only plausible way
to protect society from procrea
tion, by such persons.
A Law of Nature
Examinations have proven con
clusively that it is Impossible for
a normal child to be born of
parents either one of which is
affected by feeble mindedness.
There are families of eight or nine
members at; the state institution
for the feeble minded in Salem,
and in nearly every case one or
both of the parents has been found
to be mentally feeble. . It is very
seldom that a feeble minded child
is .born to healthy normal parents.
Solely to Protect Society i
The-.'-eperation involved in the
sterilization of a person found to
be mentally weak, is not at all
serious,' and results in no perni
cious after .effects. None of the
normal body activities are in any
way affected by the operation.
The only effect of such an opera
tion" ,is ! to make procreation ! by
suchpersona impossible. It should
be understood that tbis act was
meant only as a means of protect
ing society,! and not in any ! sense
as a punitive measure. - i . J
Since the! adoption of this act,
it has been ! possible for the insti
tution for i the. feeble , ininded
authorities at Salem to release to
reliable person between 50 and: 60
patients who otherwise i i Would
have to remain forever in : the in
stitution. It has been the policy
of this institution to insist ion! no
persons subjecting! themselves to
the operation. I If a person does
not care to jundergo the operation,
he or she nijay remain! in the1 Insti
tution for jthej rest, of his or her
span on this earth.! . t,' " i I ,T .t
Race Will Rn put
The hope pf the 1 people who
have been instrumental in promo
ting this legislation and in admi
nistering : the jiawj Is that it will
lead finally to the elimination of
the feeble imihded entirely, or al
most -entirselyf-rthat it will cause
the race

That 1 fs
outlook; ! especially so as compared
with what ! has been the condition
heretofore with the number of

that can help as to visualize a
time when we shall have no feeble
piinded people.
