Tracy Inscrutible Fate Misery Their Lot Bearing the Cross Public Responsibility

By M. E. Tracy Two doctors have said they should be allowed to die, the Medich twins; the father said he would be hear they were dead, and the mother lapsed into unconsciousness when she first learned they were hopelessly hound together. From thousands comes a horrified protest. The right to live is sacred, they declare, and the processes of nature or will of God must not be interfered with. But these thousands do not have to pay the price, do not have to go through life joined back to back, or support children who have been made helpless by such a caprice of inscrutible fate. It is their happy lot to assume no greater x-esponsibility in the matter than tell a poor father, a distrait mother and a pair of inarticulate babies what is right. •I- -I- -IThe father and mother can speak for themselves, though only in an overwhelmed, grief-stricken sort of way, but the babies cannot. It will take the babies a long time to realize the misery of their existence. the mercilessness-of those who let them live in the name of mercy. If they could foresee the tragic, tear-dimmed years, and speak with mature intelligence, what would they say about the right to live? Unless some show, or circus, picks them up to put on exhibition as a freak, to collect dimes from the morbidly curious, out of which they will get a small and cruelly earned share, what is there ahead of them but poverty and isolation? •!■ -I- -I; These babies were not born as you and I, free to show the first sign af independence by creeping about the house, free to climb up by the rungs of a chair and fall down all by ourselves, free to run and romp in the yard, free to get away from everybody and think things out, free to make love, with nobody but the right' one near. They cannot even twist and turn when the bed is uncomfortable, but must sleep just so, half-sidewisd on their backs or half-sidewise on their face. Neither of them can ever go anywhere the other doesn t want to and both can never go anywhere other people ax-e present”’ wTtfiout being hurt and humiliated by staring eyes. When the end comes, they cannot even enjoy the privilege of dying alone. The awfulness of their predicament consists in the fact that you>don’t want to know whether to refer to them as they, she or it. Still, making allowance for all this, the protesting thousands are right. The time has not come when we dare making the arrest of anomolous life a part of the public policy. If we were to openly approve such a privilege it would be made the excuse for all kinds of murder. Parents who didn’t want children would be quick to exaggerate defects in order to get rid of them and unscrupulous doctors could be found to' do the trick. The privileg is exercised, of course, and has been since the dawn of intelligence, but not in the way that calls for public sanction. , When the question takes public form there can be but one answer, but that answer should include more than mere academic decrees in favor of the right to live. It should include a decent living for the poor misshapen things we compel to bear the cross and relief for their parents at public expense. -I- -I- -ICivilization has been shamed by nothing worse than the display of monstrosities for money. Yet there has been no other way for them to get along. If we must insist upon their right to live let us help carry it through and not shirk the game, while claiming the name. Let the thousands put their hands in their pockets, as well as on their hearts, when they cry that the Medich twins must survive. Let them not force a decision and then leave a small wage earner and his wife to carry it out or to be driven by sheer desperation to the freak market. If we must spare children whom nature has cursed with handicaps that absolutely bar them from normal existence in order to preserve an ideal, let us do the job right and make the proper provision. Two or three thousand dollars a year would insure these Medich twins all the necessities find all the comfort they can hope to get out of life. If the ideal Isn’t worth that much, it isn’t worth anything. Money talks. 24 DIE IN UPRISING Moros and Constabulary Clash in Philippines.

Bu t nitfd Press LONDON, May 29.—The Rangoon correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph cabled that official reports estimated 1,200 dead In a cyclone In Burma. A huge tidal wave accompanied the cyclone which swept the Arakan coast May 22, ascended the Naaf River and inundated the entire ad jace.nt country, the dispatch said. ! Villages were swept away beyond j Maungdaw, fifty miles from the sea. j All cattle in the affected areas were killed, according to the dis- j patch, and nearly all telegraph lines 1 between Burma and India were cut. j Cables were seriously interrupted.

MOTE DISCHARGED IN BLIND TIGER CASEBYCOLLINS Court Sustains Motion to Suppress Evidence of • Liquor Seizure. Motion to quash an affidavit for a search warrant, which led to the | discharge of Carl H. Mote, attorney, ! 3860 N. Delaware SC,..charged with manufacturing, possession and sale of liquor, in a grand Jury indictment, was sustained today by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. Prosecutor William H. Remy was prevented frqm bringing out evidence in the trial of the indictment. • Remy kept a complete record of the proceedings, indicating he will appeal Collin’s decision to the State Supreme Court. In the trial Collins sustained objections of Henry Winkler. Mote’s attorney, when Remy asked Sergt. Cox regarding his search and seizure of the few bottles at the Mote residence April 3. Home Sacred In sustaining the motion Collins said the Mote home ia as “sacred” as any other residence and no officer has the right to enter in "an improper manner” to secure evidence on which to base a criminal prosecution. Cox merely performed his duty, Collins said. Cox testified Mote defied having liquor, but later gave him some bottles when he told him to “get it out” so it would not be necessary to search the house. J. J. Snow, 3021 Euclid Ave.. testified he had been employed at the. Mote home, saw liquor there, and swore out an affidavit for a search warftmt before Municipal Judge Paul Wetter. Snow denied knowledge that Mote ever sold, gave away or bartered the liquor. ‘This case should have been settldfl in Municipal, Court (the case was dismissed there). I don’t know how the case got before the grand jury, but officers are bound by what they told the jury,” said Collins. Conditions Unsettled “Issuing of the warrant goes back to the unsettled condition in Marlon County, where justices of the peace and other magistrates issue warrants for the purpose of entering houses in order to bare evidence for criminal prosecution,” Colins said. Mote testified he heard the search warrant read and that Cox seized some of his "property” which was taken to police headquarters, where he was slated. Cox said he had a warrant for the arrest of Mote on a blind tiger charge at the time of the search. It was not served. SOLDIERS IN ACCIDENT Four Hurt When Auto Goes Over Embankment. Sergt.

List Rises to Nineteen — Motor Changes Blamed for Delay in Trials. By Vedder Gard The cars for the 500-mile Speedway race on Monday are fast enough when they get on the track in the big event, but. oh, how slowly they come up to the wire to qualify for the speed classic. Only nineteen cars have qualified in the two days of elimination trials. It looks as though Odls Porter, official timer, is going to have to get up early Monday morning to accom modate some of the drivers who have been unable as yet to get their mounts ready. The Duesenbergs are late again. Some of the others are having their troubles. Again this afternoon another opportunity was gtven the entries to become official starteys by making the required average speed of 85 miles an hour for four laps—ten miles. The slowness in qualifying is caused largely by the new motor requirements which call for a 91'* inch piston displacement Instead of the 122 inch of last year. Many little things coming up on the new jobs have caused the mechanics long hours of work as they endeavor to prepare the cars in Vnie for the start at 10 a. ni. Monday. Such is always tnewsaee when requirements are changed and old cars must be revamped and new motors tested out. Six more cars qualified Friday, with Cliff Woodbury in a Boyle Valve Special showing the best speed, an average of 105.109 miles (Turn to Page 9) LEGION TO CARRY ON Education Week Will Be Observed This November.
