i QUALITY AND NOI
QUANITYISNEEDED
Mrs. Baker Declares That People
Should Not Raise Large Families
Says Father of Ten Should Be
Disgraced.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 11
Preaching "quality and not quan
tity" of children is needed, Mrs. Lo-
rainc Helen Baker of Spokane.
Wash., who is attending tho National
Woman Suffrajje association confer
ence here, declared in n speech to
day that 00 per cent of tho Ameri
can children arc "human culls."
"Koosovelt is a poor, ignorant mnu
if he urges tho American people to
raise largo families," said Mrs. Ba
ker. "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.
"My studies hnvo convinced me
that not over 10 per cent of tho chil
dren are bom of love. The other 90
per cent come unwclcomcd into the
world.
"This lends mo to think thnt ten
years henco the ninn who is the
father of from ten to twelve chil
dren will bo ns much disgraced as is
ft confirmcd dnmkard now..
"What humanity needs is a Luther
Burbank for human plants."
From here Mrs. Baker will go to
New York City and then to Europe.
She will journey across tho Atlantic
to attempt to secure for America the
next meeting of the international
congress of eugenics, which will con
vene two ycarf hence.

COOPER PARDON
POLITICAL FACTOR!
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.
JAY BOWERMAN LOSES
x OUT IN CONDON ELECTION
CONDON, Or., April 14. In tho
most closely contested election ever
held in Coni'on, the Uowcrmnn fac
tion was defected Monday for tho
first time in eight years. Dr. J. F.
Wood, Independent, was elected may
or over Dr. J. W. Donnoll, tho llow
erman candidate, by a majority ot
19 out of 175 votos cast. Only ono
Dowerman man, J.R. Scott, was elect
ed to tho council Jiid this was owing
entirely to his personal popularity.
Tho other two coincllmon, Dr. B. F.
Butler and J. W. Hire, woro elected
by the Independents.
.An amendment to tho city chartor
authorizing a $35,000 bond lssuo for
water works na carried by a large
enlarging and reconstructing tho city
wnter works was carried by a largo
vote, but the ordlnnnco licensing
steam laundries was lost.
Tho whole town was stirred up over
Mondny's election. Tho number of
votes was doubla that of two years
ago and tho enthusiasm was Intenso
when tho rcault was announced, ns
this Is looked upon as the beginning
of tho downfall ot machine rulo In

It is worth 200,000,000 mid Its oK !

Tho Kentucky assessors fixed an

Judge Humphrey, couuhcI for tho

Such n change would entail a cost
