"Anthony Comstock, tho pur ist, cries 'obscenity' when tho sub ject of Eugenics is broached. "Nevertheless, it is quality child ren wo want, not quantity. Suffrage will bo responsible for tho produc tion of bettor children because it pro duces better thinking on tho pnrt of mothers. It raises her mentality and that of her children.

GREAT PROGRESS MADE BY THE PORTLAND Y. M. C. A. PORTLAND, Or., April 14.

Governor Patterson Insists That Ho Did Right In Setting Frco Slayer; of Senator Carmack Figure Is Burned In Effigy. NASHVILLE, Tenu., April 14. Governor Patterson today insists that he did right in pardoning Colo nel Duncan B. Cooper, whoso una tonce to 20 years' imprisonment for killing Senator Ki'ward V, Cornmok was confirmed by tho supremo court of tho state yesterday. His action in granting tho pardon within two hours after the sentence was confirmed, sorms bound to be come a political factor in tho stnto and keep alive the bitterness of feel ing caused by tho Coopcr-Cnnnnck quarrel. Last night tho governor's figure was burned in effigy in Qer- mnntown, whore Patterson was roar f d. The governor todny, in discuss ing the incident, was firm in his stand that tho pardoning of Cooper wns only an act ot justice, inasmuch ns Cooper could not, under tho cir cuntstnnces, hnvo had a fair trinl. The governor's friends nro stand ing by him loynllv. Today thoy urge him to enter the race for senator. If ho does so, the whole matter will again become food for political con troversy, sny those who want Patter son to stay out of the senatorial race and the Cannack-Coopcr troubles will continue for n long time to come It is generally predicted here thnt Robin Cooper, whose 20-yenr sen tenco was overruled, will never bo retried. It is believed that tho state will soon make some move to hnvo the case dropped from the record, either by moving that it be dismissed or tho indictment quashed.
