I1f the advocates of birth control B0 to the legislature to secure the repealing of the present laws, they will find at least two opponents, heads | of powerful organizations, ready to fight them to a finish. They are Mrs. ! Arthur M, Dodge, of the National as- | sociation Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and Anthony Comstock, of the Socie- ty for the Prevention of Vice. Mrs. Dodge and Mr. Comstoek, when I asked them for interviews in regard to this vital matter, which has been- brought into the discussion of the day by the announcement of the meeting to discusss birth -control next Wednesday at the Academy of Medicine, were inclined to treat as of slight importance the present agi- | tation. Public opinion and the law would operate to keep the people in- terested from going far in their pro- paganda, they said. But if such should be the case—if the Committee on Rirth Control, recently organized, should take the mattér to the legis- lature—they will go also to fight for what they believe to be decéncy and morality. That any tampering with the pres- New York ént law in regard to the dissemina- tion of information in regard to con- traception (unless the law is made of immorality as wéll as a décreasé in the population is the belief of Mrs. Dodge and Mr. Comstock, and also of Miss Grace Strachan, District Su- perintendent of Schools and known for her fight for equal pay for men and women teachers. ‘““Are we to have homes or broth- els?"” Mr. Comstock exclalmed. “Is all decency to be done away with 2" asked Mrs., Dodge. “By what right hoes any group of people go against the laws of God?” agked Miss Strachan. From such statements ‘ea¢h o6he: went on ' to elaborate the position of those who are opposed to the chang- ing of the present law in regard to family limitation. It was with reluc- tance that they spoke, and only aftei being urged—each one asserting that the matter was one too delicate to be talked or written about. It is only because the other camp has come out in’ print so boldly and because it is ever the duty of those who stand for decency to lay aside personal prefer- ences to oppose the forcs of évil that they consented to talk atall they said. This explanation of their consent to be interviewed at all they impressed upen me, with the promise that 1 state it in the article. After Mr. Comstock had asked me the arresting questions as to whether we were to have homes or:brothels, he went on with a list of other quest- ions: “Is the womanhood of our country to be dragged into the dust?” “Are men and women to practise no #elf control-" “Is there to bé no semblance of de- cency left in life?” One after another he shot the ques- tions out. When he agked if ‘quacks are to be given the power of life,” I interrupted to ask if he would call the men and women physiclans who Have come out’in favor of birth con- trol quacks and charlatans? That question he waived aside »s having no bearing on the subject. Then he went on to say that there is altogether too much opportunity under the law as It stands to control births. “Reputable physicians can prescribe anything which is necessary for-their patients now. The thing which can’t be- done is to sell openly articles which limit birth. As I said, they are sold—Dbut they are sold under pre- ‘text of being manufactured fér an- other ' purpose. “If this law should be changed, it would allow quacks and charlatans and all kinds of physicians who are not reputable to spread information whieh would make for indecency and immorality. Young and innocent girls would be dragged in the dust. The things which would follow would be unthinkable.” “But’—1 asked when he stopped for a moment.. “The advocates - of birth control claim that it is not just that this information should be with- held from poor peopl¢e who cannot afford to rear large familles?” “Can't poor people learn self-con- trol?” he hurled back. *“Can’t every- body, whether rich or poor, learn to control themselves? It is scandalous : I more rigid) wll result in an increase then that the laws of God should be tampered with.” “Will you attend the meeting next Wednesday evening ” I asked Mr. Cemstock. He refused to answer that greup or any other time at the legis- lature. Mrs. Dodge was much more reluc- tant to talk than Mr. Comstock. She pointed out the fact that ten years ago such a subject would not have been considered proper for conversation, and said that for herself she did not consider it a subject which should be discussed publicly. she said, in answér to the question es to whether it was fair to withhold { from poor people the ififormation which the well-to-do have. ! think everybody should have this in- j formation. Instead of giving it to the that any one should urge that the im- | pulses should be given full rein and | gquestion, but he said, “I will meét this | “Two wrongs never made a right.” i “I don't , poorer classes, I feel it should be taken away from the well-to-do peo- ple——that is, if they have it. But have they? of birth control know they have it? That is something which 1 would like | Of course”—with a little ! answered. smile—*“this is a subject I am not in the habit of discussing. That may account for the fact that I have not | the information which these people who would limit families have.’ “Is the last barrier against im- morality to be taken away? With the consequences removed, I feel this would resuit. “There is one more thing I'd like to say. I think the poor people about ‘whom these peeple are talking so much are very well taken of. I have worked for years in day nurseries and other charitable organizations, and it seems to mie the children of the poor are taken care of. If they are not, these agitators, instead of pushing this propaganda of theirs, might better de- vote themselves women how they might go against the laws of nature and not have children, they should teach them how to rear their chil- dren properly.” “Will you attend the meeting at the Academy of Medicine Wednesday night?” I asked Mrs. Dodge. “No,” said Mrs. Dodge, smilingly. “1 have been brought up to believe do without doing that, But if they rézlly organize this movement and carry it to the legislature I will meet them there, to fight it.” Miss Strachan when asked:for her opinions on the subject said: “Ihave been brought up to belicve that the public discussion of thig sub- Ject is indelicate. Mereover, how can an unmarried woman talk about it? But if I'do talk about it at all, T want to ask this question: By what right or authority does any group of people set itself up to regulate God's or nature’s laws? ‘'The repeating of the present law “would ‘bring about two bad effects— the increase of Immdralitiy and the decreasé™of population. There can he no doubt that it would lead to greater immorality. I do not mean to say, of course, that fear of the conse- cuences is the only thing which makes people moral, but it is one thing. “Race suicide would follow the spreading of information on birth con- trol. © All' we need do 1s to look at France.to see the results. There they aTe alarmed at the falling off ‘of the birth rate. “As to this talk about large families —let there be large families, I say. Many of the world’s greatest men have come from large and poor families. Napoleon ig one of them. Then there is our own Lincoln. His parents weuld have been listed as poor and uneducated. Certainly advocatés of birth control would have said there thould be no more chilgren in that family. They would have gone to Mrs. Lincoln and givén her informa- tion which would have deprived the world of one of its greatest men. “How can any one tell whéther the eleventh ‘or the thirteenth or the fif- teenth child may not be the one which will make the whole ramily worth while? 1t is silly to say that people, beca they are poor, cannot bring rp as good and as healthy familieis as the well-to-d6 and the rich. “Children are the natural and the moral result of marriage. So instead of teaching men and women to sub- vert the laws of nature, we should teach them to desire children and to rear them properly.” DIES AT AGE OF 100 YEARS, Hartford, May 24.—William Ray, colored,” who claimed an authenti- cated age of 109 years, died in this city Saturday.

Her Luck “My goodness,’’ eried the girl wh o had béen saying something about the departing guest, “he stopped right outside, I'm afried he heas me through the open window. If that isa't just my luck. ting caught like that!” What a queer idea of Juck some people seem to have! The girl with the sharp tongue calls it “her luck” because she some tithes gets caught saying sharp things about people. Should & man wh spends most of his time out of doors call it “his Tuck” if he occasional gets caught in a shower? Should anyone who is always playing with ed tools call it “his luck” if now and then he cuts himself? Should a who is always saying sharp things about people call it “her luck” if ne and then one of them overhears or in some way gets wind of her fll nal ured remarks? . Such A Temptation. The temptation to say sharp, witty things about people the mumc they are out of earshot is very strong to many of us. It is 0 easy fo sharp and witty over the peculiaritiés that the very best of us have, the joke seems to take on a particularly delioate flavor from the faet tha its object has so recently “left his character in our hands.” The first stratum of courtesy, the stratum to which almost all of n have attained is not to say unkind things to our friends, the second strat um is not to say unkind things of our friends. It is surprising how I people keep themselves uniformly on that level. As She Never Said & Word, While I was visiting a friend of mine one of her neighbors cn:;a t bringing her little girl, The child was strikingly unattractive, almost] repulsive. No one could help being painfully aware of the fact. When the callers had gone I expected to hear my hostess comment upon the child} as ninety-nine people out of a hundred would have dene. . Not one ward of digparaging comment or even of that condescending pity that is, woise if anything, did she spea. 1 can’t tell you how much I admired her. That is the fine flower of courtesy-—to hold back ones tongue froj the sharp criticism, the witty unkind thing we might have sald, and. th people who have that flower in their hearts will never need to complain of “their luck.” call, Questions and Answers. “How often doesz the average person nced to go 1o the dentist to his teeth in good condition?’—M.
