LE STAR & Independent 44). Of all decrees of Fate, that of birth appears to be the most cruel, Decause the most Inexorable, Frequently there ts nothing to be done about it, A man is born with a black skin, with an ugly face, with a Aistorted form or he ts born to poverty, ignorance or crime. He ta handicapped from the start. He simply bas no chance for preferment, often none for material success, and, in thousands, if not millions, of eases, no chance to improve himself mentally or morally. Did you ever think of the danger that lies in the fate of birth? We do not mean the danger to the indivdual, but tho danger to the state, to society? Don't you see that if, by a progressive ratio, we went ou indefinitely allowing people to be born under cireuinstances unfavor able to health, to character, even to physical tpauty, that we would be plunged into a degree of racial degeneracy ttt, in time, would destroy @lvilization? ‘And, by the same token, don’t you see that some day we may be compelled, for the sake of humanity und Its future, to guarantee to every Duman being the right of good birth? “A fine jod!” you exciatm, Yes, Indeed, a very big Job, but the fate of birth involves the fate of the race, then we must master It, which means that we must have such arrangements that every child shall come into a world of plenty. Plenty of what? Plenty of all that makes for comfort, character, health and enlightenment. Did you ever see anything more pathetic than a sweet child born te misery and condemned to privation and probable vice through no fault of its own? [t is a crime! But whose crime? And who shall set it right, not for this chitd—for him the dle Is cast—but for all the bill fons of sweet children yet unborn? A Right Fine Idea A bright economist has worked up discussion fp London aver a new plan for speedily settling the noxt great strike. It is to have every Jeeal authority get up a rol! of citizens who will, as strike broakers, step fg and perform necessary servic such aa work at traneporting sup piles, anc on the light and water plants, ete. We heartily endorse the plan for trial tn America. ‘of citizens will serve as strike breakers, our eminent pro Deeakers need not be unnecessarily disturbed tn thelr occupations as Durglara, saloon bums and stool pigeons of the tenderlotn. i When there is a railroad strike, let the Morgans, Goulds and Vander Wits turn out and fire the engines and turn the brakes. When the ox pressmen get tired of handling the tona of goods for $2.15 per day. let good citizens of the Tom Platt stripe take up the work. When there's & strike of minors, why not have fellows like “Divine Right” Baer go into the mines? What speedier, more thorough settlement of a strike of drillers, drivers and barre! makers could be suggested than to have John and William Rockefeller and the Whitneys don overalls and go to @rilling, driving and hammering on the hoops? Put the gentlemen whose greed is struck against {n the places of the strikers, by all means. We are not certain that this plan Is feasible, but, om its face, it appeals to us as the most glorious «| ion we've ever ps of for the speedy and complete adjustmont of industrial troubles. fe commend it to those distinguished philanthropists, Messrs. Rocke feller and Carnegie, in particular. Gentlemen, strikes will be unheard of, if you and the directors of your corporations will, in just one in stance, take the place of strikers If the right sort asional strike Observations RHODESIA is coming into the world’s markets with oranges and Ke BS MISSOURI mule market quiet?
