Sterilization Bill Cause
of Long Drawn-Out Debate
Senate bill No. 7.1, otherwise known
lis the sterilization bill, was the specia
al
order yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Several senators took advantage of the
opportunity to practice up on their ora
tory and the old senatororial chamber
echoed with impassioned utterances as
fervid as any that in the old days,
when senators were elected by the legis
ture. painted in glowing colors the qual
ifications of the candidates. There was
not so much "spirit" in the flights as
"house bill No. 104" no louger has in
numerable copies of itself in every com
mittee room. In spite of this drawback,
the debate was far from dry.
II was a rather, delicate subject to
discuss before a mixed audience, or
would have been so considered iu the
days of our grandmothers, and before
the "new woman" arrived. Things were
called by their first names in n 'familiar
sort of way, but the feminine portion of
the audience chewed gum and took a
deep interest, and never batted an eye-lash-
It was an illustration of. the new
thought, and the results of taking wo
man off the high pedestal on which for
so many years she has stood and bring
ing her down to a real equality with
mere man.
Senator Farrell spoke in favor of the
bill, reading at some length from re
ports of leading alienists, and others in
charge of institutions where this class
of feeble minded and degenerate are
eared for. He spoke of the Jewkea fam
ily which in seven generations had in
creased so rapidly that it furnished the
state of Xew York in that time seven
generations some 1,200 feeble minded
citizens, who had cost the state above
$3,000 to care for them.
The Prolific Unfit.
lie called attention to anothei family
in Ohio which was a close second, iu
this case the feeble mindedness follow
ing the mother's side. The father had
married twice, the children by the sec
ond wife being as were their descend
ants, normal while the descendants from
the children by the first wife had pro
duced some 700 descendants all feeble
minded. He called attention to a case
at the asylum here where the great
grandmother was a patient, her daugh
ter also being in the asylum and her
daughter also at one time in the asylum
though now a street walker in Portland,
and there were several children now in
the institute for the feeble minded. He
thought the state owed it to civilization
to put a stop to increase of this class.
Tt . culled attention to the fact that peo
ple of this class were always unusually
prolific and increased from two to four
times as fast as normal folks.
Vinton was opposed to the plan. "Be
cause these poor people were of low
mentality we had no right to prevent
them using their God-given rights." If
the good women who think they are do
ing good would use the same energy.
Till these poor unfortunates up with
food and clothe them they would do
more good. "Look at Germany." he
shouted, despite the fact that such a
look would strain a fellow's eyesight.
"Look at Germany. She has no feeble
minded- She takes care of her poor. A
few years ago these same people who
are now asking the sterilization of these
Lin fortunate ones were shouting that it
was alcohol that was ruining our conn
try and was the cause of all crime and
insanity. Now they tell us it is a few
hundred people locked behind the bars
that are endangering civilization and
breeding criminals. How can they when
they are locked upf " he inquired. Con
cluding he said: "In case of a weak
minded person you can't tell whether or
not' he is a criminal until he commits a
crime and then it is too late. Do you
want to sterilize a feeble minded wo
man and then turn her loose where your
young boys are also running loose?"
Makes Life All Sunshine.
Senator Garland indorsed the bill. He
thought the senator, Vinton, did not
draw the line or understand just what
sterilization meant. Take the case of
stock. If you have the very finest and
allow a scrub aire to run with them you
will raise scrub stock, aud you will raise
nothing else and that stock will get stil'
more scrubby with each generation. He
quoted from some manager of or direc
tor at one of the institutions, in In
diana, who reported he had performed
238 such operations, that it was practi
cally painless, the person operated re
suming his work at once. Besides it
set them free from melancholia and
gave them a bright and sunny disposi
tion and was beneficial in everv way.
So true was this that many of those
operated on urged others of their kind

he in closing.

We have been so considerate of this
class that civilization is in danger. He
compared civilization to the majestic
eagle that soared high in the heavens
but bore with him a ferret that cut the
bird's throat and sent him tumbling
to the earth. That is what the breeding
of the 'feeble minded will do to civiliza
tion. Champion of the Weaker.
Senator Hurley, however, was the
mighty champion of the purposed "vic
tims" as he ealled them. He wanted
to know who was to say who was feeble
minded, and who was to decide that a
human being was to be deprived of his
God-given right to have a family ? "Ts
it your psychologist I Where is your
psychologist and what is a psycholog
ist"' he shouted. This psychologist
may decide a man is feeble minded or
temporarily insane and have him operat
ed on and then when he recovered, as he
may, ho will fiqjl out he can't have a
family." The people turned this propo
sition down and I am not going to over

things very mnny of them.

MM WAR VESSELS
SENT T0NEW YORK
Entire North Atlantic Squad
ron Said To Be Watching
for German Raider
New York, .Tan. 30. The entire North
Atlantic squadron of the British navy
has been ordered into waters adjacent
tp New York, it was authoritatively
stated here today.
Reports of steamships that were
brought to this port and taken to Hali
fax, caused the issuance of orders to
the squadron to search for a German
raider.
From sources close to the British con
sulate it was learned "New York har
bor waters" might be any spot on the
Atlantic within 200 miles' of New York,
giving color to reports of a German com
merce destrover 200 miles off Sandv
Hook.
Orders were issued after masters of
various steamships had reported mys
terious ships sailing about. At least
two steamship captains declared they
were positive the vessel was a raider.
And embargo has been placed on wire
less messages reporting positions of
ships sailing under flags of the allied
nations.
Shins from the base at Halifax and
vessels now doing patrol duty in this
vicinity will be brought toward each
other and will establish a most rigid on
trol. Rumors that the German raider
which -successfully operated off the
coast of South America was beaded in
this direction have brought many rum
ors of the presence of the shin.
That the raider U expected in this I
vicinity and that the British men of i
war expect to capture her, was evident
from the nature of preparations.

Berlin dispatches carried yesterday

Bernstorff a statement in answer to1
President Wilson's Senate sp b, n-i
roused the greatest speculation here.
It' this proposed statement is phras I
ed in certain more agreeable terms as
to Germany's present situation, in other
words if it does not "harp too much
iu victorious German terms," us an
official put it today, it is declared the
message will do much to advance the
peace movement.
Unofficial reports which nave readi
ed this country daily during the last

ident to believe the "Wilson peace

many's ruling power a big opening to
conic through with the most "lenient"
terms and still not appear to humble
itself before the world.
A M'ace without victory would enable
Germany, it is believed, to offer terms,
squaring in many ways with those laid
down by the entente. Advance informa
tion indicates that Germany will sup
port the president's peace agreement
as regards freedom of the seas, an au
tonomous Poland, the yielding of Bel
gium, Serbia, Montenegro, Rumania and
northern France, in compliance with the
president's nuggestion that small na

of self government as large and should
not be subject to being buffeted about

Work and Disposes of

Although Representative Bowman
was accused of having ulterior motivea
in introducing house bill No. 4, which
reverses the policy of the state regard
ing the giving of state money to sectar
ian institutions for the curing of de
pendent and delinquent children and
prohibits further committmeints to such
sectarian Institutions, and the question
of religious prejudice brought up by
both Representative! Mueller and Stott
in an attempt to pick the bill apart ami
quibble over minor points and throw
ridicule on the author of the bill aud its
provisions, the bill passed the house this
morning by a vote of pructicallv two to
nne. The vote was 38 to 20, with one
absent and one excused.
The members voting against the bill
to prohibit further committments to sec

Debate is Vigorous.
The debate ou this measure com
menced yesterday afternoon after house
bill No. Hill had passed and was eO-
tinned until the house adjourned. Hep
resentative Bowman, in explaining (hp
measures of the bill stated h,.. had baen
charged with discriminating against
certain religious orders. H declared
there was no secret or ulterior purposes
behind his effort to divert the slate's
money from tile sectarian Inatltutione
into institutions that arc controlled and
regulated by the state officers. He said
that the time was coming when the
staW' would be compelled to face tin:
question of caring for its dependent, and
delinquent children, and it was timo
a start was made in this direction, An
to the objections raised by those who
oppose the bill and try to "make it out
inadequate, unconstitutional iniqu'iativo
nnd silly, he replied that if the bill was
read carefully it will be found to meet
I lie objections.
Representative Mueller, who attempt
ed to pick flaws in the measure the oth
er time it was before the house, repeat
ed his same assertions, and began to
impung the motives of Air. Bowman at
the same time disclaiming any ulterior
mot in- for his statements than that lie
was in 'favor of the bill and opposed to
the way il was drawn. He stated that
lie did not believe in this republic! that
the church and state should be united
and the sooner the separation was com
plete the better. He said the bill was
not the proper kind of a measure and
that the time for its introduction was
not proper. He declared the bill was
.-, bsurd.
He said he had no prejudice in the
mutter and then started in to hold the
bill up to ridicule and raise the religious
issue. He said that at the public hear
ing on this bill Dan Ma'arkey, Dr. Ko
berg, secretary of the state board of
health, and Attorney Logan, of l'ort
luuil, who practically admitted he uas
