"the constitution is deformed into n

Impressions received nnd expressed
in our daily business intercourse are
not always prompted by motives of
charity or n sense jfry'ustiee. For
instance, a fanner, discussing a prob
lem of n more or less serious nature,
said to me yesterday:
"I sec that the merchants and law
yers and doctors arc all very much
interested in the proposition of our
getting tho beet sugar factory, gen
eral irrigation for the vnlley and sev
eral things that the farmers alone arc
interested in. After all, tho fanners
do tho work necessary to support
theso things and get merely n living
out of it, at best. Wlmt business is
it os theirs?"
That view of tho matter is both
morbid mid unjust. The merchants,
the linyyers and tho doctors have a
grcnknl "lodo about it." Absolv

A Political Comedy
After calling attention to what he
tonus the difficulties that make fair
elections impossible, M. Venizelos de
clares that tho uovcrument is secret
ly arranging to have home on leave
nil mobilized men which it can count
upon to voto for government eandi-
latos, while all the adversaries of the
government aiu being refused leaves
of absence.
"Iho duty of tho liberal pnrbjj-

object is to prevent a manifestation
of the national will and to gain an
appearance which wouni do lalsc,

exist? Without tho bounty of its
fields, how could we slay the dcstni?

necessary to tench the fanner that

is not; mid let us hope that the far

i(Ujfro"Hollingcr baby to die in a
Chicago hospital, ho performed a ser
vice to oeiety ns well as to the hope
less being he spared from a lifo of
misery.
No one cares about that pitiful,
usolesfymp of flesh, hut that baby
has lived nut in vain becauso its
death has brought us face to face
with tho many questions of eugenics
ami control of the birth rate ques
tions wo hnve been side-stopping be
cause we are afraid of then.
The hue and cry raiscJ about the
"murder" of tliidl poor, mindless, crip
pled, half-dead littlo crenttfre, fuili-
cates a deep-rooted error in Ameri
can thinking.
It shows that wc do not under
stand the meaning of lifo or its laws
or its great, beautiful purposes joy,
beauty and achievement. Our puny
seiitiineiitalisni has caused us to for
get that a human life is sacred only
when it may be of some use to itself
and to the world.
We have refused to listen to the
Dr. Ilaiseldeus when they have tried
to nib into us the fact that tho world
is already Hooded with unhappy, un
healthy, menially unsound peious
that should never have been born.
Their declaration that wc t mi pre
vent the birtlnof more such unfortun
ate persons-, and must prevent it, has
angered unwilling hearers to whom
such wisdom is blasphemy.
The sentimentalist's ire has smol
dered long while thorghtful men dis
cussed whether the insane and defec
tive classes should bo prevented from
propagating themselves. And now
the life and death of this baby is the
match that has set lire to all this
combustible material.
The disc of William Sanger, whoso

tcrial and the spiritual business of
the world would fall into ruinous dc-
TmMtkufc lone farmer, however, has
siigflMBthu argument that will
drivivMni out of his own trenches. He
has brushed the cobwebs from an im
portant truth which he himself has
long protected in its concealment. Ho
has suggested the answer to the
question as to why the merelimit, the
lector and the lawyer are interested
in his projects. He has invited the
information that they are not his
projects alone.
They Mv Our as Well
The merchant knows that his suc
cess depends on the success of those
in tho fanning districts surrounding
ulhiii, just as the national govi-ninient i
tn dcKnds on the pnifnjlg agri
cultural development of the entire
country. The lawyer, the doctor and
the merchant know that their busi-
uesses prosper only in proortioii to
the fa nil-
tmeiit of the
farming business. Hence, when the
farmers fail, they, too, fail in a pro
portionate measure. When the fann
er can't pay his bills, they can't nnv
theirs. General depression is the luld
marshal of the situation.
Therefore, tho professional man
and the tradesman ought to he eag
to assist tho fannor to realize sucec?
in the lnrgost possible measure, both
from ii humanitarian and a busines
point of iew. That cannot he lenn
ed meddlcsomo seltishness. The doc
tor, laboring conscientiously in a ma
terial way, docs not stop tit impure if
the patient who has summoned him
has succeeded sufficiently to he able
to pay hia bills. Professional faith
fulness bids him to go and reliexe the
distress, if possible. Nor does the
lawyer frequently hesitate to Jake a
case into eourt because his client inav
lie too poor ty. wiv the fee promptlx
or at alhBut, if the patient and the
client inuiecufesful buinos Innn-
ers, with abundant facilities and op- J

Now, most of those wlurlRive large
families arc working people. Why
should not tho idea of having fewer
children bo fostered among them?
The imprisonment of Sanger re
veals the fact that there aie persons
who do not want this itlcn to bo dis
seminated among the workers. These
persons, for tho "sake of profits
alone, deliberately encourage the

needs him. Is there?
So, also, stands the mei chant's
case. They should concern them

their little ones may bo driven to la

plenty of people to tnkc such wages
as is offered them.
Incredible ns it seems, employers of
others' brains and bodies may, nnd
do, claim a right over tho lives, the
frail limbs and tender souls of others'
progeny-for profit. To such persons
the new knowledge about birth con
trol is odious.
The limiting of families is n matter
of tho gravest necessity to tho work
ers. In spite of our boasts of na
tional piospority, poverty is steadily
increasing. The cost of living mounts
higher ami higher, and wages do not
advance in proportion;
If tho families of tho'workers nro

ture, we shall have a larger percent

in mills and factories who mo de

Already countless mothers..- nrc

all the influences of evil, those chil

of themselves, mi even larger number
of deformed, sickly, tceble-minded
children. Ami the incalculable mis
chief of an uncontrolled birthrate
sucks up thu vitalityiuf tho human
race. This is tho loTtl race suicide
that wc must combat.
The destruction of the poor is their
poverty. Only by taking the re)mn
silulitv of birth control into their own
bauds can they roll back the awful
tide of misery that is sweeping over
them and their children.
Anyone who will take 'a peep into
life's hack yard will sec u huge juuk

"DADDY LONG LEGS"
TO PLAY IN ASHLAND
One of the most remarkable
achievements that stand to tho credit
of "Daddy Long Legs" which comes
to tho Vining theater in Ashland on
Tuesday evening, December 14, is the
record established by the famous play
in San Francisco Inst censon.
"Daddy Long Legs- ran thirty-ono
weeks in Chicago, and recently ended
n run of a season mid a half nt tho
Gaiety theater in New York. Hut in
San Francisco, where it was intor
prctcd by Kvneo Kelly and the other
members of the cast to ho seen hero
on December 14, "Daddy Long Legs"
upset American theatrical traditions
by running fivo consecutive weeks to
capacity business at tho Columbia
theater in that city. No other piny
in tho history of the American stage,
prior to "Daddy Long Legs," has been
offered in any first-class theater
west of Chicago for a period of time
greater than three consecutive weeks.

were needless if all mothers were
