Corporation | Council Kirkham pointed out at a meeting where the matter was dis- cussed, that quite possibly it is the | | | courage, character of the examination that is| at fault, rather than the civil service system.

To abandon the system entirely in all de- partments would be a tremendous mis- | take, Undoubtedly it is true that the mental examination makes it more difficult, sometimes impossible, to get | the best men in the positions in which they would excel. The mental ex- amination should be given a place of lesser importance in these two depart- ments, On the other hand they| should have their place in seeking proper men., It may be necessary to ask abandonment of the civil service | examination for policemen and fire- | men in order to cure the defect now existing. which makes the mental ex- amination so important It would seem however, that if a way could be found to make the mental examination less strict this method would be preferable to the one suggested. This matter is out of the hands of the local authori- ties. Their action in seeking to re- move the departments from the clvil service will undoubtedly call attention to its defect in this regard Last night the City Meeting hoard | voted to authorize the issue of $625,- 000 school bonds. As previously stated in these columns this is wise, in line with the recommendations not only of those who believe proper education of the children and proper accommo- dations for them is a public trust, I)utl also in accord with the advice of| financial experts that the present is the time to issue municipal bonds for | future city development, owing to the ! possible, even probable, depreciation | of the market for municipal bonds in | years to come. It is somewhat strange that the same members of the City | Meeting hoard who voted against the | authorization of these bonds voted, | as member of the charter revision committee, to retain the civil service in régard to the police and fire de- | partments.

Many students of soclology, many | welfare workers and others who think seriously of the future of the race, favor some movement that will curb | the bringing of unfit children into the world. Their suggestions will be con- sidered as they are made. And, fol- lowing this policy, a beginning may well be made with the suggestion ad- vanced in Chicago which shows how far some advocates of such restriction are willing to go. A report of the psychopathic la- boratory of the Chicago municipal court proposes a ‘“model law” which would make it impossible for certain persons to become parents of chil- dren, through sterilization. The law | defines the socially inadequate and| unfit parénts as those who are paupers ne'er-do-well's orphans, cripples, the blind and sufferers from certain chronic and infectious diseases, as well as criminals, inebriates, feeble- minded and drug addicts. The suggestion. which would take from the pauper, for instance, the hope of life and parenthood, is pre- posterous. Who can say that he will always be a pauper? The fact that it is reported that Chief Justice Olsen may have the law presented to the | legisiature of Tilinois reflects seriously upon the understanding of funda- mental law by that jurist. Grant that | the rapid multiplication of the unflt‘! threatens our race, if one will. Grant | that earnest, honest, conscientious ef- | fort shoull be made to find some way to limit the bringing into the world | of unfit children. No one need be ashamed of the fact that his mind has not yet conceived the proper way to | bring this about. It is certain that the people of this country would never tol- | erate such barbarous, heartless | methods, so repugnant to the spirit of our constitution. Better far that, | while men are seeking to find a \\'ny: to prevent the birth of unfit children, men should bend their energies to- | ward stamping out the cause of much of this menace—to stamping out pauperism, ignorance and disease. THE MINER'S DEFENSE | Evidence in defense of the five miners on trial for murder in the Herrin riots is now being presented. It may be confessed that it is hard | to see just what that defense will be except, possibly, self defense. first witness for the ininers testified that the first shots fired came from a concealed gun at the mine; that h heard one of the miners say ““Wi | don’t want any trouble;” and that no shots were fired on the mine until America, came to light the other day | when news was flashed that a allyerl in London, making a “hole in one" for the seventeenth time in his career, carried out the custom of the game— | a custom against our law.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT | Four years ago today Theodore Roosevelt died. Today we are reading | of France's plan to occupy the Ruhr| district to enforce her claims against | Germany, let the consequences be what they may. No thinking man in this country fails to believe that such action by France, with the dan- ger to Germany's credit, such as it is, and eventually to France's and the general depressing effect it would have upon England and all Europe, would be felt here. And this danger is in the air be- cause there is not a Theodore Roose- velt to dominate the Federal gdminis- tration. One may feel this to be true even though the late president was far from perfection. Perhaps never before in the history of this country has there been such a chancq for great leadership as there is tx}uy——' and Roosevelt, if nothing else, was the leader, If, on this anniversary of his death, there could come to the leaders | of the United States government the | courage, the fearlessness which char- acterized him, France would make no drastic move, a' way out of the Euro- pean trouble would be presented, as| it has Peen found, and the United States would take her proper place in | world affairs. Thig is the thought the day brings. The question is merely this: Shall America sell her surplus to Europe or send it in relief ships? Some children honor their parents, however, and are careful never to take them to naughty movies. It may be a mere colncidence that the newspaper portrait of the de- ceased’s widow always wears a care- free smile. If the candidate can’t make people ! think him a wonder, he can win out by making them think him a martyr.

O. O, F., thinking it was a Ku Klux Kian session. The meeting was held in Turner hall, the same| place in which the meeting of the K. K. K. took place a week before, and it was the occasion of the encamp- ment’s annual open house for all Odd Fellows. Seeing the crowds entering the hall the patrolman immediatély became suspicious and demanded entrance,; which was granted him. He was per- mitted to enter the hallway where he found all doors open and a social time going in full blast. There was music, singing and entertainment in one aec-i tion of the building and a few card games going on in another. There was no unpleasantness nor hard feeling, the patrolman was sat- isfled and the Odd Fellows ‘W% |amused. Now the lodge members are wondering what would have hap- pened had it been a regular meeting and the patrolman lacked the neces- sary password. They fear an Odd| Fellows' session might have been ralded. . . In the office of a local constable on the second floor of a Main street apartment block, stands a talking ma- chine. Today it is doing duty as a’ jardiniere stand. Six or seven months ago it was a cherished piece of furni- ture and held a place of honor in the parlor of one of the city’s prominent residents.

Now it stands, a battle scarred veteran, in the office of a representative of the law. Its steel tongues are silent. This once. proud aristocrat was wont to sing, and play, and laugh and tell cheery stories in its day. Today its flat, disk-like ‘voice is stilled.
