The Charities Once More The storm from which the community is still smarting made the severest possible test of the town's equipment for charity and relief work. In saying this equipment was absolutely found wanting is in no wise a reflection on those selfsacrificing and hard-working individuals who did the best they possibly could under the circum

stances. But it does prove what The Palladium

has all along contended, that our system of deal

ing with charitable work is obsolete and utterly

inadequate.

During the recent storm, The Palladium had

special representatives on the field making in

vestigations. These men looked into each case from at least three points of view and were very sure not to be misled as to the actual conditions

of the families in hand.

Their discoveries during these investigations fully corroborate The Palladium's previously published statements regarding conditions in Richmond. One half of the city does not know how the other half lives. And these findings also reveal the urgent necessity for a more efficient charities organization. In spite of all the money in the city which may be used and all the persons anxious to help, many worthy families have been suffering severely from lack of clothing, fuel and food. We must establish here at once an organization manned by professional charity workers with a system for ascertaining all the facts about needy families and for keeping those facts systematically filed and available at any time. The essence of such an organization would be that it could make use of the city's resources for relief work in the shortest possible time. As long as conditions exist as they do now, there will be a great deal of suffering and the larger part of this suffering will be absolutely undeserved. It may be true that here and there

a family is destitute because of a dissolute or lazy bread-winner. But for this the wife and the little children are in no wise responsible. Why should we be content that this unrelieved suffering continue when we have at hand all that is needed to succor and help them? The Palladium has been somewhat criticised in certain quarters because of the publicity which it has given to these facts. Richmond is in no worse condition than the majority of cities of its size. No matter how much we publish the truth about the state of affairs here, other towns will be in no position to draw invidious comparisons. But even if they were, that would give us no excuse for misrepresenting and concealing the facts about ourselves. If an individual misrepresents himself, he is a hypocrite. Is not a community, which does the same thing equally guilty of hypocrisy? And how will the people of the community ever be led to act, and to act effectively, as they wish to, if they have not been informed concerning actual conditions? And who will inform them if the newspaper doesn't? The organization or the individual who endeavors to cover up and misrepresent the unquestioned facts about destitution in Richmond is not a friend of the city, but an enemy.

"human stuff" as we now have on hands. It tries to set the crooked straight and to make dull eyes to see. But thm aim of eugenics is to produce better "human stuff"; not to improve what we already have, but to secure materials out of whioh

men and women may grow. j It finds the race stream like a river that has become contaminated by sewage. All kinds of poisons hare flowed into that stream and our in

sane asylums, homes for defectives, prisons and graveyards are full of the results. Just as sanitarians are learning how to purify the rivers that

flow by our towns, so eugenists hope to learn how to purify the human stream. Heredity was more or less a matter of guess work until in 1869 Gregor Mendel, a Roman Catholic priest, discovered the method of heredity which has come to be named after him the Mendelian law. By understanding this law, one is able to know how the traits and characteristics of the parents will be divided among the children. If a black-eyed man marries a blue-eyed woman, the Mendelian can tell how many of the children will have black eyes, how many blue eyes and how many eyes of another color. And what

is true of the color of the eyes is true of all other

such physical characteristics. Why does the eugenist bother himself about

the future? Simply because he feels his responsibility to his children unborn as keenly as he does to those about his knees. When he learns how he can reach forward and bless or blight babes of coming generations, he says to himself,

"I am going to learn how to live in such a way that my posterity will be blessed by my life and not cursed." It is to teach us how we all may live in this way that eugenics has come into existence. .

The Trade Commission

Eugenics: Its Aim The word eugenics is a modern adaptation of an ancient Greek word which means "right breeding" and the aim of eugenics is better bred men and women.

When Darwin took up biology, that science which deals with the laws and functions of living things, he turned it backward toward the past in an attempt to discover the origin of man. Sir Francis Gallon turned Darwin's search-light the other end to and tried to throw light on the destiny of man. Biology turned toward the future -that is eugenics. As with all young sciences, there has come to be an imitation eugertics. This is the right characterization of the popular notion about it which one sees written of at great length in magazines and newspapers. According to these publicists, the eugenist is one who wants to breed men and women as a stock raiser breeds cattle. But this absurd plan, it need not be said, never could have originated in such a brain as Sir Francis Galton's. The real eugenics is based on immutable scientific principles. Its laws and methods are as certain as the laws of the stars. There is no guess work about its principles and there is no "fadism" in its methods. It is a definite and dignified science and one to which many of the mightiest minds are now devoting themselves.

A national conference of eugenists has recently convened at Battle Creek, Michigan. Two hundred and fifty of our most intelligent scientific students attended that gathering. The results

have been highly satisfactory to all persons in

terested in the improvement of the race. If those who think of eugenics as a kind of stock breeding will but read the speeches made at that conference, they will discover how mistaken they

have been in their conception of the science.

Of the four trust regulation measures now being placed before Congress, President Wilson considers the Trade Commission bill of greatest importance. He has been devoting personal attention to it and using all his powers to press it forward to the earliest possible passage. As the bill now stands, the new Trade Commission will take the place of the erstwhile Bureau of Corporations and will correspond after a fashion to the now existing Interstate Commerce Commission. As now proposed, the new Commission will be made up of five members, the chairman of which would be Mr. Davies, the present chairman of the Bureau of Corporations. These members will be appointed by the President with the approval of

the Senate and will receive $10,000 per year. The Trade Commission will have power to investigate the affairs of all corporations doing interstate business, having a capitalization of $5,000,000 or over, with the one exception of common carriers. These latter naturally come within the province of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The new Trade Commission will be vested with inquisitorial power and have authority to order any records, reports or similar data to be brought before it and to have interested persons testify to it or its delegated sub-commit

tees. By using this power to subpoena, it may cause any official of any corporation to appear before it and may fine such person or corporation $1,000 per day if the subpoena order is not complied with, and it may appoint agents to go to any part of the country to make investigations. The records thus ascertained are to be considered as public property and various district courts over the country will be instructed to enforce its orders. Any person found guilty of false statements or other form of perjury before the commission may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for one year or both. The chief duty of the commission is to learn if any given corporation is violating the Sherman Anti-Trust law. If such seems to be the case, the facts are to be submitted to the attorney general who will take steps to deal with the corporation in question. The attorney general or any of the courts having jurisdiction over such matters may use

the commission as an investigating committee

and will hold such information as it may furnish as legal testimony.

Each year before January 1, the Trade Commission is to compile the essential data gathered during the period and submit it in a report to

Congress. This report will be made public in the

same manner as other similar reports. This is the essence of what President Wilson considers his most important measure for dealing with monopoly. But the most friendly advocate of the administration will find great difficulty in discovering just where such a commission as this is going to affect monopoly at all. When all these duties are boiled down, the Trade Commission is seen to be nothing more than the old Bureau of Corporations re-christened with little or no power other than that enjoyed by similar bureaus of investigation which have power of inquisition. What it can possibly do toward dissolving the trusts is difficult to see. It has only authority to gather the facts. These facts are then used by the Attorney General just as is now the case. Where then will this new regime have the advantage over the present and how can President Wilson's attorney general accomplish more than President Taft's attorney general? "President Wilson's proposed industrial commission," writes a prominent student of political affairs, "is a mere clearing house, a bureau of information, a board of mediation between the great corporations and the government and the courts. It would only increase official red tape and multiply office holders. It would settle noth-ins;.

S. K. Nicholson, chairman of Cltieena' local option committee of Oni Hundred, has received the following letter from Governor L. B. Hanna, of North Dakota. Governor Hanna is a nephew of late Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio, and before his election as governor served as a member of congress for several terms. Mr. Nicholson, vrho is acquainted with the governor, Baid today that he is a practical man of affairs who makes no pretensions to being a reformer, and that what he says about the value of the prohibition law in North Dakota should be taken at its full face value. The letter is as follows: State of North Dakota Office of the Governor Bismarck L. B. Hanna, Governor. Keb. 20, 1914. Mr. S. E. Nicholson. Richmond, Ind. My dear Sir: I have your letter of the 17th inst.

asking as to the prohibition law of North Dakota and 1 wish to say without any qualifications that it has been

a wonderful success.

We have tried it here in North Da

kota for twenty-five years and as each

year goes by the law grows stronger

and the sentiment for it becomes

stronger among the people. Today we have practically no trouble whatever in enforcing the law. We have no open saloons and there are only a few drug stores in the state today that sell liquor and they sell it under a permit and doctor's prescription system. The boys of the state are growing up without knowing anything of the saloon and there is no question whatever but that it has been of infinite value to them. Our people are prosperous. The percentage of inmates in our state penitentiary per thousand of population is about the lowest of any state. in the union and if it were not for the fact that about sixty percent of he inmates of the penitentiary ar not residents of the state, but are men who came here during the harv-

fest and threshing and got into trouble,

there would be no other state with so small a percentage of criminals as North Dakota and most of those who are in the penitentiary are those who

To make the high school newspaper the "Cynosure" up-to-date in every respect, more type has been ordered and the additional sizes will brighten the appearance. Primarily the prin'ing department was organized to teach printing and to do Job work, but since it has been decided to put out a school paper, additional equipment was needed. The type which will be used for heading the articles will consist of 14 point, and the sub-heads will be 12. 10 and 8 point. The body type will be 8 point. Only for advertisements and special articles will i larger size be used. On account of special work which the printing department is required to get out. th school paper will not be issued for about two aeeks. After the first insue It will be published every three weeks this term, but it will be the aim next term to publish it every two weeks after the printing clas baa become acquainted to its issuance, it will be published every- week. Each issue will contain cartoons by one or two students and will b made by the chalk plate method. Clarence Holly and Howard Ball are the cartoonists of the staff. The paper will be three roulmnt in width, each to be ten inches long. There will be eight pages. Another advantage of this size will be that when the magazine edition is issued, all the numbers can be bound.
