OTHERS r viEWS
STERILIZATION OF THIRD
TERM PRISONERS
To the Editor:
The above is being discussed in our
daily papers at this time and the plan
so appeals to me, with some additions
thereto, that I am impelled to express
sky views with hope of some good re
sulting therefrom. i would not so
stulify myself as to undertake to ad
vise minutely, but In a general way.
I am favorable to the following, any
dnd all to be administered discreetly
and wisely, for the good of society
Sterilzation, vaccination, inocula
tion, fumigation, elimination, gesta
tion, germination, renovation, rejuvl
hation, segregation, separation, (omit
ting intoxication) and last and best,
for fourth term prisoners castration.
Our laws and practices are so
primitive and obsolete as to incur the
(Jlarespect of the criminal classes, and
Officers of the law fear to undertake
4o enforce them, we have some local
ind State laws so far not in accord
#ith our Federal laws that our skilled
Jurists cannot deside the cases corn

THE WORLD WAR 20 YTARS
AGO TODAY
Aug. 4, 1914- President Wilson de
clared the neutrality of the United
States.
None of the munitions orders pour
ing in from belligerent nations are re
fused; and envoys seeking loans for
war purposes are not turned away
The difference between a neutral and
a belligerent is that a neutral may
profit from both sides.
Germany Declare* War on Belgium
Her troops have been invading it for
six days and are beginning the bom
bardment of Leige!
Great Britain Declares War on
Germany
The Kaiser r.ote sfor history: “So
the famous encircling of Germany has
finally become a complete fact, despite
every effort of our politicians and dip
lomats to prevent it ... A great
achievement which arouses the ad
miration even of him who is to be de
stroyed as its result ... From the
dilemma raised by our fidelity tr >he
venerable old Emperor of Austria, we
are brought into a situation which of
fers England the desired pretext for
annihilating os ~ Our consuls in
Turkey and India, agents, etc., must,
tire the whole Mohammedan world to
fierce rebellion ar/ainst this hated ly
ing. conscienceless nation of shop
keepers: for if we are bled to death
England shall at least lose India.”
Prophetic irony.
GREAT BAYS
August 4.
gious rites were performed in western
hemsfphefe. Holy Communion ac
cording to the ChOrch of England was
held in the harbor of St. .Johns, New
foundland, by orders of Admiral Sir
Humphrey Gilbert, leader of the first
English colonization expedition.
A /
August 4. 1790 The revenue cutter
service was established by .Congress
to collect a tax on tea from the Ame
rican government which came into be
ing because colonists rebelled against
paying a tax on tea. It also was given
the job of collecting taxes on liquors,
wines, coffee, molasses and pepper
the first source of tax revenues of the
such being carried out. A travesty on
justice.
We are a dull people, slow to any
thing but anger, “ve are asleep at the
Arheel". Don’t you recall that the
stupid Chinaman invented gun pow
der? Then we used it. Germany
taught us, at a great cost to our na
tion, modern war fare; why even yet
the “Big Bertha” ia another of our
wonders. Our distinguished railway
and locomotive promoters never
thought of “stream line" until the mo
tor men showed and proved to them
its efficacy and after the railways
wera old enough to die a natural
death.
We have all the antis. Anti-fat,
anti-slim, antis for rabbles, typhoid,
snake bite, hydrophobia, tall and low
stature, straight and kinky hair. Anti
start and anti-stop, hair grow and hair
stop, anti-swet and anti-smell and In
surance against anything but crime
and sin, one is turned loose from our
penal institutions with no restrictions
or promises to do better but allowed
to profligate, prostitute, degenerate,
copulate and populate, in utter defi
ance of law and decency.
I see in the morning papers of to
day that the city of Charlotte is stall
ing the building of a church, in their
corporate limits, due to fact it is to
be made of wood and contain 1,500
feet of floor space. (It very probably
should read 15,000 feet). You see queer
things can be done.
Lets 'regulate our antiquated
methods to the scrap heap and try to
do something up-to-date and worth
while. I am serious in saying such
drastic methods would empty our
penal Institutions and permit us to
use the buildings for school*, churches
ahd san i tori urns.

the crossing 19 days, including a two

August 2. 1846—A third war with
Britain was narrowly averted by the
proclamation by President Polk of a
treaty settling the Oregon boundry
question. Hot-heads demanded 54’40”

Oregon worthless, favored granting it

compromised at 49’.
