PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1912. CHECK BIRTH OF ALL DEFECTIVES Dr. Woods Hutchinson Would Segregate Untit, SAYS 97 PER CENT ARE NORMAL Laws Made to Govern the 3 Per Cent of Defectives Oppress the Vast Ma jority, Who Are Honest and Law Abiding. Dealing with the science of eugenics nnil race welfare from n wholly orig inal point of view, Dr. Woods Ilutch lnson, clinical professor of medicine at the New York Polyclinic, delivered recently before the concluding session of the American Public Ilealth asso ciation at Washington an address which not only aroused the Interest of the convention, but also promises to produce widespread discussion. Dr. Hutchinson asserted on the basis of hts studies and research that society may not yet hope to bring about at will the birth of geniuses, but that It could and should prevent the birth of defectives. The cardinal doctrine set forth was that the negative side of eugenics was the important one. the vital thing to be accomplished through this science of race welfare being "the prevention of ill bornness." Dr. Hutchinson spoko before an nu dience which overcrowded the hall In Its desire to hear his Interesting theme and was enthusiastically applauded. Not all of his doctrine was accepted by eminent specialists present. Ills views were debated by Dr. S. Adol phus Knopf of the New York Post graduate Medical school, Peter EI. Briee, superintendent of Immigration at Ottawa, Canada, and others. Dr. Knopf and Mr. Brlce and others chal lenged the argument that the defec tives and 111 horn were the result of hereditary causes and not produced by the strain of civilization and Its evils. Is Alcoholism Inherited? Dr. Hutchinson Insisted that alcohol Ism, feeble mlndedness and like ills -were the result of congenital conditions. Dr. Knopf challenged this statement vigorously. Efo Insisted that insanity nnd alcoholism might be acquired and that these evils were not nocessarlly In herited. Dr. nutchlnson said he ad mitted much that was said, but as to the claim that insanity and nlcoholism were ncqulred diseases and not inherit ed ho demanded the proof. lie con tended that in all cases where these evils had been traced back through the family it was found that the evil or -disease sprang from heredity. Dr. nutchlnson was emphatic in say ing that the general average of the race was good and that the defectives were the exception rather than the rule. Not more than 2 or 3 per cent of the race were born defective, he said, and this was very consoling. The other 07 per cent were born normal, nnd the real friend of eugenics, Dr. Hutchinson declared, was the man who recognized this fact. "The llrst thing to be done in nega tive eugenics," asserted Dr. Hutchin son, "is to determine who the unfit children are, and that can only be achieved by a thorough school census. We should begin Inspection at the third year, nt least, of all children. Then as soon as the 2 to 3 per cent of nil children who are hereditarily defective nre determined they should be given euch n training as will fit them for tho part they are likely to play In life, frhen they should either be segregated In open air farm colonies or sterilized. 'As rapidly as public sentiment will per. mlt all adult crlmlnnls of the habitual tlnd should bo sterilized. Genius Seldom Reproduced. "Eugenics has two divisions, preven tion of the reproduction of defectives and encouragement of tho production of the specially fit. The feeling of most of us who have worked on the matter is that in the first division much can be accomplished and that about the latter we do not yet know enough to nchleve any remarkablo results. While geniuses are exceptions, they certainly do not reproduce themselves biologically they nre accidental vari ationsand their families often are de ficient in some respects." Dr. Hutchinson said tho "next thing Is for us to alter our attitude toward the plain people. "Tho troublo with most of us," ho continued, "is that we have actually taken this 2 or 3 per cent of congenital defectives as the ones all men are lia ble to become unless held in check by tho strong arm of tho law. Wo allow that to color our laws and Influence our lawmaking. This has produced a code which for Btupldlty, renctlvoncss nnd crudity Is hard to match, "We havo been making laws for and inflicting punishment upon 97 per cent of the community, which laws and punishment aro only Intended for tho 3 per cent of defectives. Tho vast majority of men nre law abiding nnd would be so without tho law. Tho real genius of tho raco Is born In tho 75 or 85 per cent of tho raco which 1h tho race's real backbone, nnd tho only thing wo really need in eugenics Is to preserve tho 00 per cent of tho raco that Is left after disregarding tho 5 per cent who think themselves the only superior kind to bo reproduced nnd disregarding tho remaining 6 per vnt. xehleh romnHaoa rhn rlfolveo PLAN MEMORIAL TO HENRY WARD BEECHER. Ststers of John Arbucklo to Build In stituteWill De Social Contor. A memorable Institute and arcade In honor of Henry Ward Beecher nro to be built beside Plymouth church, Brooklyn, by the sisters of tho late John ArbncUIe Mrs. Jamison nnd Miss Christine Arbuckle. For the work $100,000 will bo expended. In mnltlng the gift tho sisters nro carrying out n cherished plan of Mr. Arbuckle. He died without leaving n will, but his relatives are nevertheless desirous of putting his ideas into effect Tho plans which ho had nlready made havo been revised by his nephews, William A. Jamison nnd Charles Jamison. Woodruff Looming, president of the Brooklyn chapter of tho American In stitute of Architects, is now nt work on the design. The Idea of the building is to provide n place which tho 2,500 young men nnd women who board In the Brooklyn heights section may mnko tho center of their social life. Several years ago, when Mr. Arbuckle was asked to con tribute to the building of the Young Women's Christian association, ho re fused, on the ground that ho did not believe In segregating the sexes. He had already at that time begun to think of the building which la now to become n fart. Before his death ho had Mr. Looming make a sketch of the proposed structure, but he did not live to see the scheme thoroughly developed. The Institute is to be part of the gen eral Beeoher memorial plan. Mr. Ar buckle gave the tlrst $5,000 toward the fund for executing the larger plan and helped raise the next $00,000. Tho In stitute will bo provided with all the ap. purtenances of an up to date clubhouse, with library, writing room, assembly room, gymnasium, swimming pool nnd lockers nnd classrooms in whuch the members may be instructed in type writing, stenography, bookkeeping, dressmaking, millinery, kindergarten lng, civil government, etc. Tho structure will stand In nicks street, fronting n park which is now being prepared for by the removal of buildings purchased by the committee in charge of carrying out tho general memorial plans. Above a mantelpiece In the Institute's reception room will be Inscribed the words: "Presented to Plymouth Church nnd the People of Brooklyn In Recognition of Henry Ward Beocher nnd What He Did to Save the Union." The arcade will ex tend from the institute to the church building. According to the present plnns, tho Institute will be formally dedicated June 1, 1013. FROZEN SOLID, THEN REVIVED. Russian Professor Makes Interesting Experiments on Animals. ThQ Kussekow of Slovo of Moscow has published an article by Professor ICnlln describing experiments mnde by Professor Bachmetleff of Moscow uni versity. Professor Bachmetleff, his collengue says hns proved that animals may be frozen alive and then resuscitated none the worse. Professor Bnchmetleff calls this process "nnnblosls." The first ex periments wero made with cold blood ed animals and Insects. Butterflies were inclosed In a vessel containing air at a temperature of minus 23 de grees C. Tho body fluids immediately froze hard, nil vital actions ceased, and In ordinary phraseology, the butterflies were "frozen to death." Despite this Professor Bachmetleff discovered that by slow nnd careful warming they could bo restored to life nt any time before tho body tempera ture had fallen below minus 10 degrees C. Tests showed that when tho resus citation was begun at a body a temper ature of minus degrees C. recovery wns quickest and most complete. Tho next stage wns tho repetition of this experiment on warm blooded anl mnls and on mammals. Two hundred tests wero mnde. Nearly all succeeded. Bats wero refrigerated and kept "dead" for a long time nnd later completely restored. TO MAKE EGGS FROM AIR. Russian Scientist Thinks Chemistry Will Soon Do It. Dr. Paul Walden of Blga, Russia, recently predicted at tho International congress of applied chemistry at Chi cago that tho next great feat of chem istry would be tho making of eggs from nlr. Dr. Walden, who is presi dent elect of tho ninth International congress, to bo held In St. Petersburg In 1015, further predicted that a varie ty of nitrogenous foods would bo made from tho air somo day. "I consider it practically certain that nt no distant dny wo will bo drawing food supplies from tho nlr," said Dr. Wuldou. "An egg is n complex com pound of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and hydrogen. Tho chemical process of tho heu will bo imitated in tho lalwratory. Formerly wo wero able to do very llttlo with tho uncomblned nitrogen in tho atmosphere.

TAFT DISCUSSES CAMPAIGN IN A NOTABLE INTERVIEW THE PRESIDENT TREAT8 OF THE TARIFF, TRUSTS, HIGH COST OF LIVING, WOMAN SUFFRAGE, RE CALL OF JUDGES, IMMIGRATION AND GOVERNOR WILSON. PROTECTION RAISES WAGES. Thinks the Payne Law Has Enabled the American Worker to Meet the Cost of Living and Maintain His Family In Comfort Every Able bodied Man Willing to Work Has Work City Hotols Thronged With Buyers nnd Farmers Never Better Off Nothing Can Kill Prosperity but the Benumbing Glacier of Free Trade or a Wave of Anarchy. President Tnft when in New York, Sept. 1M, gave a long interview to the newspnpers In which he discussed fully the campaign Issues. This is the Interview in part: "Mr. President, havo you visited the 'Chamber of Horrors' lu Union square, whore the burdeus upon living under tho high tariff aro Illustrated?" "No, but a New York friend told me a little Incident In regard to it worth remembering. According to the story told mo, the exhibition Includes n num ber of nrticlea of dothlng tngged with the prices and an alleged statement of whnt tho articles would cost with the tariff duties deducted. I understand that u number of establishments en gaged in the manufacture of clothing nre situated in the neighborhood, and a worklugman, evidently from one of those establishments, strolled nt the noon hour into the exhibition. Looking nbout him, he noticed n coat "bearing a price tag, and ludlcntlng what the cost of the coat would be without a tariff duty. 'Why,' he remarked, 'that would bring the price of the coat lower than what I get for making one. At that rate where would 1 come In?' It is hnrdly necessary to say that he would not 'come In' nt all, unless willing to work for one-half to one-flfth of his present pay for making a cont. "Tho policy of the Bepubllcan party la not to shut out foreign manufac tures, but to foster domestic manufac tures and to keep tho American work lngman employed. "The tariff should bo revised so far as muy be necessary to keep prices from being exorbitant, so that, as I have explained In my speech of ac ceptance, the manufacturer shall se cure only enough protection to pay the scale of high wages which obtains and ought to obtain In this country, and1 securo a reasonable profit" "What do you think, Mr. President, of tho proposal of tho third term party to control the trusts through federal Incorporation and regulation?" 'It would create the most monstrous monopoly of power in the history of tho world a power ns much greater. as much more autocratic, than that of a Caesar or a Napoleon, as the business interests of tho twentieth century are greater, more dominant and farreach- ing than wero those of 2,000 or 100 years ago. "The Payne law has had no more to do with advancing tho cost of living than tho latest Atlantic cable tariff. On the contrary, it has enabled the American worker to meet tho cost of living nnd maintain his family in com fort "Under tho operation of that law prosperity has been gradually restored since the panic of 1007. Practically every ablebodied man who Is willing to work hns work, and In some of the lnrgc industrial centers, as well as In other parts of tho country, tho demand for labor far exceeds tho supply. City hotels have been thronged with buyers from all sections of tho Union, who report rendy sales and empty shelves, nnd aro eager purchasers of goods to replenish their stores. Partners were nover better off. Every legitimate In dustry Is looking forward to still great er prosperity, provided tho nation's progress shall not bo halted by tho be numbing glacier of free trade or the destructive lava stream of anarchy. "I havo not changed in tho slightest my view ns to tho necessity of mone tary reform, or of tho great valuo and importanco of tho work dono by the monetary commission, of which for mer Senator Aldrlch was chairman. "It is a roform necessnry in tho In terest of all tho peoplo and must bo carried through according to somo prac tical and elllclent plan that will rem ody tho gross Inadequacy nnd marked imperfections of our banking and cur rency system. "Thero has been no intervention in Nicaragua. Under conditions of an archy, accompanied by acts of ruthless barbarity, American marines wero landed at tho request nnd with tho con sent of tho lawful government of Nica ragua to assist in protecting tho lives and property of Americans and other foreigners. Chero was no invasion, no levying war. Common humanity dic tated tho courso that has been pur sued." "What la your attltudo, Mr. Prcsl dent, on tho woman suffrago ques tion?" "Suffrage for women la an lssuo to bo docldod by tho states, and there can bo no doubt whatevor that whenover and wherever p. majority of women Impress upon their' fnthors, their hus bands, uons, brothers nnd bonus that thoy want to voto Ihoy will got the right to voto." "Do you reptnl the recall of Judges, Mr. President, as an Issue In this cam paign?" "I regard the maintenance of nn In dependent Judiciary as a supreme ls buo, and I thoroughly agree with the American Bar association that the re call applied to Judges would tend to deprive tho public of Judges of ability, character, high sense of duty and n duo regard to enlightened public senti ment and that such n Judlclarv Is ab solutely necessary to tho exlsteirco of a constitutional democracy." "What aro your views, Mr. Presi dent, in regard to immigration?" "There aro both room and opportu nity In tho United States for immi grants of wholesome physique, Indus trious habits and good moral charac ter. 1 hopo that when tho Pnnnma canal la opened the tide of Immigra tion from Kuropo will flow through to tho Pacific states, which arc very sparsely settlod In view of their vnst extent nnd magnificent nntural re sources." "It Is reported, Mr. President, that Samuel Gompcrs, president of tho American Federation of Labor, has sent out circulars to labor unions at tacking your administration ns hostile to organized labor." "I have not seen tho circulars yon mention, but If tho statement Is cor rect Mr. Gompers Is ns much In error ns ho was four years ago, when he proposed to deliver tho whole labor vote to Mr. Bryan. "I appreciate," added Mr. Tnft. "Governor Wilson's courteous and re spectful personal attitude toward my office nnd toward mo. As to his state ment about my being misled by 'bad advisers,' I wish him and every one to understand that I have boon nnd will continue to tho end of my term president of tho United Stales In all that the title implies, that I am re sponsible for every net of my admin istration and havo no burden to shift on to others." TAFT CONFIDENT OF RE-ELECTION Convincing Indications That the Republican Party Is Still Dominant. When President Tnft was visiting his brother In New York a few days ago the newspaper reporters called upon him. After n pleasant chat the president made a formal statement of his views ou the political situation: "When I declared a few weeks ago that I felt reasonably sure of my own re-election In November and the suc cess of tho Itepubllcnn party I was re garded by somo as entirely oversan gulne and unaware of the situation. Today, however, after n number of In dications that the Republican party is still tho domlnnnt party and that the expected growth of Democratic strength hns failed to materialize, my early declaration is shown to be en titled to respect. Tho Republicans nec essarily will havo a reduced majority over 1008 because of the presence of three tickets in the field, but tho Dem ocratic party will suffer also. The combined strength of tho third term pnrty will not bo enough to change the ultimate result. "Five or six weeks ago it was as serted generally that tho Republican party would secure tho voto of tho solid east including all of tho New Englnud stntes, with tho exception of Maina nnd Vermont; that tho Demo cratic party would maintain its hold on tho solid south and that tho third term party would securo tho solid west leaving only tho middle west as debat able ground. Today, with the election still one month away, tho Republican pnrty finds Itself with n strengthened hold on tho solid east, having routed the third term party in Vermont nnd the Democratic party in Maine. Tho third term leaders recently conceded that wo would pick tho state of Utah out of tho solid west, and, nfter con ferring with Chairman Hlllcs nnd oth ers recently in tho west, there is every reason to bollevo that the Republican party will carry Michigan, Washing ton, Idaho and Wyoming. Moreover, if tho proper kind of n campaign is waged, wo will carry Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota, whero tho third term strength hns rapidly waned slnco tho recent tour through that section by the party's candldato. "I am not familiar with the develop mcnts In other western stntes, al though many good reports hnvo come to mo nt Beverly concerning them, but even with the states nlready mention ed It enn bo seen that there is no long er a solid west back of tho now party, but moro nearly a solid west reunited In support of tho Republican ticket This strength, added to tho indisputa ble hold on tho eastern states, consti tutes in itself a BufTlciont strength to give success to tho party. "It is scarcely necessary for me to point to tho necessity of re-establishing a Republican majority in tho houso of representatives. If this is dono I fool confident that I will bo ablo to havo placed on tho stututo books tho workmen's compensation law which I urged upon tho last session, but which wns sent to oblivion by tho Democratic houso. If tho country will givo tho Republican party a completo victory hi Its congressional s well as its presidential ticket a proper tariff ro flslon will bo speedily effected, with Knowledge of tho facts ascertained by I tariff commission, which will harm to ono and remore its present defects."
