Public Schools Not Founded to Furnish Clinics For Sex Mad Fanatics

By Bishop WARREN A. CANDLER of Methodist Episcopal Church South

X LONG process of reformers (so Called) have sought to bring to pass all sorts of machine made “millenniums.” If they deal with the social evil they proceed on the notion that purity is only possible to those who are above want or have good wages. They are never deeply concerned to work on the souls of men and women, but they are absorbed in trying to improve surroundings. THEY HAVE MORE FAITH IN' THE POWER OF ENVIRONMENT THAN IN THE STRENGTH OF CONSCIENCE. They have done much to lead multitudes of men and women to wait for something to be done for them rather than by them before undertaking to live virtuously. 1 . NOW OUR REFORMERS, WHO HAVE BEEN GIVING SUCH ATTENTION TO ENVIRONMENT FOR MANY YEARS AND WHO HAVE FAILED, TURN TO A VAIN ATTEMPT TO REGULATE HEREDITY. HENCE THIS HUGE SCHEME OF EUGENICS, WHICH IS, INDEED, A BLUNDERING WITH SACRED THINGS. ALREADY IT HAS YIELDED A CORRUPTING BULK OF SALACIOUS TALK ABOUT SEX HYGIENE AND SEX INSTRUCTION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE WHOLE DISGUSTING MOVEMENT RESTS ON THE ASSUMPTION OF MAN'S SAMENESS WITH THE BRUTES. IT LEAVES ENTIRELY OUT OF THE ACCOUNT MAN’S FREEDOM OF WILL, WHICH DIVINE CHARACTERISTIC LIFTS HIM INFINITELY ABOVE ANY AND ALL BRUTES. It is time to tell these pretentious mechanicians to stand aside. Let them KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF OUR SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL CHILDREN AT LEAST. Our' public schools were not founded to furnish clinical opportunities for sex mad fanatics.

Barely Possible to Cross Atlantic In Air, but Attempt Would Be Height of Folly

By ORVILLE WRIGHT, Aviator

IT is a bare possibility that a one man machine without a float and | favored by a wind of, say, fifteen miles an hour might succeed in getting across the Atlantic, but such an attempt would be the height of folly. When one comes to increase the size of tire craft the possibility rapidly fa<l(-s awav. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF CARRYING SUFFICIENT FUEL. ON THE BASIS OF THE FIGURES WHICH I HAVE WORKED OUT I FIND THAT NO LESS THAN FIFTY-THREE PER CENT OF THE ENTIRE LOAD, INCLUDING THE WEIGHT OF THE MACHINE ITSELF AND ALL, WOULD HAVE TO BE FUEL. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE AEROPLANE, LOADED AND READY TO START, WEIGHED ONE THOUSAND POUNDS WITH AVIATOR AND ALL ABOARD, OF THAT TOTAL FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS MUST BE GASOLINE. AND THESE FIGURES ARE BASED ON THE MOST EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE OF THE MOTOR ALL THE WAY AND THE LOWEST KNOWN FUEL CONSUMPTION. IT WILL READILY BE SEEN, THEREFORE, WHY THE ATLANTIC FLIGHT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

Japan Slandered In Order to Make Dockyards and Steel Industries Busy

By Dr. TO\ OK'CHI EXAGA, Lecturer lor University of Chicago

II- a war scare is needed t'<»r the gratification of newsmongers or for iii l '' passing through c<’<i of naw bills so as to make tlio dock* yards, and steel industries busy Japan is (‘very time utilized for the purpose, ■' , She has been DRAGGED IX EVEN IN THE CONTROVERSY ABOUT ’Lili: PANAMA CANAL TOLLS. . Indeed, to further its designs, yellow journalism has iiot hesitated to use every wit and talent at its command I<>r 'hindering Japan, has attributed to her ambitions she. never dreamed of. heaped false charges upon her merchant class and besmirched the jyir name of-her womankind. UNCONSCIOUSLY INSTILLED INTO THE MINDS OF THE INNOCENT AND THE IGNORANT, THESE FALSEHOODS WOULD TEND TO SHAPE THEIR OPINION AND TO ALIENATE JAPAN FROM THEIR SYMPATHIES. HOW GREAT HAS BEEN THE EXTENT OF THE ALIENATION MIGHT SOMEWHAT BE GAUGED BY THE CHANGE THAT HAS COME UPON THE TONE OF PUBLIC OPINION FROM THE TIME OF THE RUS-SO-JAPANESE WAR, WHEN JAPAN WAS OVERLOADED WITH PRAISE, TO THE TIME WHEN THE ALIEN LAND BILL WAS ENACTED IN THE FACE OF THE STRONGEST PROTESTS OF THE WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT, IS IT NOT TIME FOR RIGHTEOUS AND STRONG ORG\NIZATIONS TO.ASSERT AND EXERT THEMSELVES FOR CUE* ATING A SOUNDER- PUBLIC OPINION?

Prosperity and Extravagance Have Made Us a Nation of Spendthrifts

By Dr. FREDERICK L.- HOFFMAN, Life Insurance Statistician

UNLIKE our thrifty aiicotors. prosperity and extravagance have made us’; nation of spendthrifts. We see this condition of life pn every .-ide. Even the working girl earning five to seven dollars per week’ SPENDS. ONE-QUARTEII OR MORE QF HER INCOME on fool clothes,Tool hats and fool food. ■ SOME WORKING GIRLS VI/HO PUT THEIR MEAGER SAVINGS IN A PRIVATE BANK IN THE HOPE—SLENDER HOPE THOUGH IT BE—OF SAVING ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM FROM WANT FIND THEMSELVES NEARER TO THE POORHOUSE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE INEFFICIENT BANKING LAWS OF THE STATE. THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE ONLY TO PRACTICE. PROPER ECONOMY AND THRIFT TO PROVIDE FOR ANY NECESSITY THAT MAY ARISE. Statistics show that the majority of the people HAVE NO NEED OF A PENSION FOR OLD AGE. They do not desire a universal pension, and I believe the time will never come when they will need such help either from the state or the federal goverrynent.

FEDERALS REVOLT AGAINST HUERTA AT MEXICO CITY

Officers Who Refused to Join Uprising Are Shot. MUTINEERS FLEE TO ZAPATA Tampico Victors Bury 300 Dead—7oo Wounded Are Taken to Hospitals—U. S. Ships Anchor Off Town. V era Cruz, May 15. —A courier who came through from Paso del Macho, the headquarters of the Mexican army In front of Vera Cruz, brought word that troops quartered at the Piedad barracks, Mexico City, ' revolted against Huerta in favor of Villa. Several officers who refused to join the mutineers were shot down. The mutineers fled toward the west to join the Zapatistas in the Ajusco. Rebels Bury Dead at Tampico. Tampico, Mexico, May 15.—The constitutionalists In Tampico are burying their dead and straightening cut the tangle of a local government. Every hospital is filled with wounded men and the dead lie on cots beside men who are dying. Dead men lie in the trenches where the federate made their last stand and which were stormed and taken by General Gonzales and his men. Americans or other foreigners were killed or wounded during the battle which preceded the fall of Tampico.

The cruiser Des Moines and the gunboat Dolphin steamed up the Panuco river and are anchored off the wharf at Tampico. Rear Admiral Mayo is on board the Des Moines. Official information given by General Gonzales places the number of constitutionalists. killed during the lighting at 34. He said that 128 of his men were wounded. General Gonzales estimated the number of federals killed at 280 and more than 600 wounded. Military Ruler Flees. Li igadier General Zaragoza, military governor of Tamaulipas, and in chief command of the federal forces in lampico, left this city in the morning when it became evident to him that he could no longer resist the steady approach of the constitutionalists or fight them off. WMfn he left on a special railway tr<n for San Lyis Potosi, carrying with him a strong military escort, arrangements were made lor the evacuation of Talnpico by his forces. When the trenches were abandoned the federal ammunition depot was blown up. Promises to Maintain Order. General Gonzales said: 1 here will be no lawlessness in Tampico now. Such acts as characterized the attitude of Huerta’s creature s in their relations with foreigners is not characteristic of the constitutionalists, . “If the foreigners who left here on account of the lawlessness which occurred during Huerta’s rule of Tampico will return now they will be given every guarantee of protection and safety.. The constitutionalists welcome all Americans and other foreigners who come to us to take part in our commercial life,’’

Closing in ’on Huerta. \ era Cruz, May 15. —Observers here express the opinion that the taking of 1 ampico by the constitutionalists forms one of the closing scenes of the dictatorship of Gen. Victoriano Huerta. They believe that his downfall is a question only of weeks and perhaps only of days, while some are inclined to give the dictator only a few hours belore his control in the federal capital ends in possible riot and bloodshed. General Huerta is now hemmed in by the constitutionalists in the north, while his most important seaport is in the hands of American troops, and American warships are watching both coasts to see that no arms or ammunition' may reach his harried forces. 25,000 With Villa. Torreon, Mex., May 15.—The. mobilization of rebel troops for the campaign against. Saltillo came to a close al night when the last unit left Torreon, accompanied by General Villa and staff.

With replenished ammunition the vessel may return to.the”mouth of Panuco and attempt to maintain a blockade.
