HOW PROSPERITY 15
CAUSING THE DOWNFALL
OF THE YANKEE RACE

UR DEVELOPMENT A9 A NATION IN MANY INDUO
TniEO HAS NEVER DEEN PARALLELED IN THE HI8
TORY OF THE WORLD, OUT HAO NOT OUR RACE,
A8 BHOWN DY THE FIQURE8, DEEN PUTTINQ INTO
LIFE MORE THAN IT CAN AFFORD?
"Wo must consider, with tho figures of proupor-
l.. - -I ill .1 .. 1. a .1

production of thnt highest of all products of earth, human off
?priK. AS A MIOLOOIST, I KNOW THAT TILE BEST
TEST OF NATIONS Oil ANIMALS IS TJIEIK IMiODUC-
TiviTsr. now many oitspjuno do they; tjioduoe?
So it i quite- timo to inqiitro if our Puritrm ancestors did not
overdraw on tho stock of strongth thoy should havo transmitted to
others. Tho inhospitable ami difllcult soil, tho scanty diet, tho ex
cessive work don't thoso explain tho dying out of tho Yankeo
voce? Now England in tho region of tho abandoned farm, wlioro
families that three generations ago had eight, ten, twolvo children,
aro now totally extinct,.
What overdraws human cnorgy? Ovorwork, for ono thing.
Thero is a strango rapport botwuen tho procrcativo powers and tho
brain. Every biologist knows that tho wholo human organism
eeoms to bo constructed with refercuco especially, to this function
of passing on tho sacred torch of lifo.
: i K H H
'And tho now morality teaches that tho best test of any hu
man institution, whether church, school or nation, is whether or
not it educates tho poruon up to tho point wlioro ho can best per
forin tho duties of parenthood in tho highest senso of tho term.
THE PAPEHS HAVE MADE MUCK LATELY OF THE
SPEECH OF PRESIDENT ELIOT, IN WHICH HE DE
CLAIMED THAT rOUJl CLASSICS OF HARVARD HAD
NOT REPRODUCED THEMSELVES. BUT THIS IS NOT
PECULIAR TO HARVARD. I havo mado n study of thia
same question and havo collected utatistica for two years. It is
jiiet as truo in other institutions in differing degrees.
, It xb far truer of girls' colleges. ONLY ONE-HALF OF
THE GIRLS WHO GRADUATE FROM, COLLEGE MARRY.
THOSE THAT DO PRODUCE ONLY 1 CHILDREN
'APIECE, and thero is a great deal too much mortality among
thoso thoy do produce. It seems as though womon havo peculiar
temptations to ovordraw on tho resources of their systems, and
too ofton wo find storility among them. Sterility is duo eight
limes as often to tho woman as to tho man, and then comes in
tho only child systom. Wo find that tho "only child" is in gravo
'danger of being spoiled from too much care.
t WHERE WOULD HAVE DEEN ALL THIS PROSPERITY WE
BOAST BUT FOR THE IMMIQRANT8? HOW LONG WOULD THE
NATIVE POPULATION HAVE MAINTAINED IT8DLF7 IT 13 ON A
OTEADY DECLINE.
Thero is something in 'Amoricnn lifo or food or'soil or air tluit
puta us "on our nerves," and when wo "livo qn vour nerves" ,wo
havo a probaWo causo for our decline.
THE MARRIED WOMAN AS A WAGE EARNER
By Dr. RHODA PIKE OARSTOW of New Vork
CONSIDER THE WAGE EARNING WOMAN
OF TODAY, EVEN THOUGH ;SI1E BE MAR
RIED, A FAR HAPPIER INDIVIDUAL THAN
THE AVERAGE HOMEMA1CER; WHOSE DU
TIES ARE LIMITED TO THE iOARE OF, HER
HOUSE AND CHILDREN.
Thero aro many womon in tho world today who aro forcing
themselves to follow tho vocation of housokecpin g when thoy havo
no Uilont for it. Thoso Women aro making tli omsolves wretched
and their husbands and 6hHdron misorablo by t hoir enforced pur
suit of a profession that is utterly distostoful t o them. Whon a
woman has u bent for somo profession that 11 takes housekeeping
impossible, sho should follow; that bout and lot some ono olso caro
for tho homo.

Wm. Tjko and Kd Huesey, of Myrtlo
Point, returned lant wcik from a pros
pecting trip in tho Johucpn Creek neigh
borhood, and report an cxperienco that
would sound strango even in Action.
In an interview with Mr. Huteoy,
that gentleman informed a Dullotin man
that it was a expoilenco never to he
forgotten and was thrilling in tho ex
treme. Mr. lluseoy spoko as follows;
"Page end I wore roturniug to our camp
when our ntteution was attracted by a
rustlo in tho bushes nccompanlod by
fearful yells. Wo at first thought that
tho Eound came from a panther.
Quicker than it takes to tell It the
hushes watf pushed apart and a being
stood in front of ub that would strlko
horror to tho average man. After gsz
ingatui intontedcly for a fow seconds
it began to advance with, steadilhy.'stcps,
bentlng hie breast and gnashing hi?
teeth. I Immediately brought my rifle
to bear, intending to sell my lifo as
dearl? as possible
Mr. Pago in the meantime had disea
poorod and I was alone with tuo mon
utor. In my excitement I misted my
aim and tho bullet ilew wild of tho
mark. Tho hairy being immodlatoly
turned and tUd bofore I could ge
another shot. It was exceedingly tloet
on loot and toon disappeared in the
thicket."
Mr. Tngo when questioned, told sub
stantially tho'same slory with but few
changoa. Howoyor l9 says that Mre
Hussey was ovorcomo at tho eight ol tu
wild man and laid eomotlmo in nn un-
couecious condition. Mr. Pngo fhot at
tho advancing monster until hie liflu
was empty aod.lheu began a hand to
hand combat. Ho at last drove tho in
truder uway and succeeded in restoring
Mr. Hussey to his normal condition.

A Big Thing
Grants Pais is now in poseision of a
big manufacturing plant, a now sash
and door factory. It requires all the
lumber output of threo saw mills. Wil
liams Bros & Kendall aro tbo proprie
tors. Tho new mill has 30 machines.
The new mill, at North Bend will have
,o 'mnchincsaad it can readily bo seen
what benout such a plnnt can be to a
town. Tho new plant ttt North Bend
will bo as largo a mill as thare is on the
coast and it will require a large forco of
working men to carry on tho business.
Tho business ol such n plant can be en
larged upon to an enormous extont.
Excoltior machinery can be put in. A
box plant. Making raw mato-Ial for
furniture and an ondless number cf
things.
When people of North Bend begin to
realize what the establishment of the
largest sash and door factory on the
Pacific coast really means they will be
gin to think they aro somebody of a
town in the way of manufactury.
