CURB THE YOUNGERS
Considerable complaint has been
made in reference to the running at
large of the youngsters of Cordova
at all hours of the night. Naturally,
being of a mischevious turn of mind
they frequently become a nuisance,
as in the case cited by the postmaster
in our local columns. There are also
other important reasons why they
should be under the parental eye and
care. In fact the matter has become \
eo serious that it has been called to i
the attention of the members of the
city council and the probabilities are
that some action will be taken at
the meeting of that body tonight for j
the enforcement of the Ordinance No. ;
25, which makes it unlawful for any ;
boy or girl under- the age of sixteen i
years to be abroad upon the streets !
of Cordova after the hours of 101
o’clock p. m. from April 1. to Octo
ber 1, or after the hour of 8 o'clock
for the balance of the year, unless
accompanied by some grown person i
haring him or her in charge, or un
less upon some errand by permission
or direction of his or her parents, and
shall not then loiter on the way and
shall not make undue noise by shout
ing or yelling, or otherwise annoying
the peace and quiet of the town.
RIGHT YOU ARE

“America needs the Republican ,
warty back,” says the Democratic !
Seattle Times and truer words were ;
never spoken. That the wish of some
of the Democrats as well as the pub- i
lie generally will be gratified at the >
November election seems to be a
forgone conclusion. With the change
of administration will also come the
relief the country is demanding and
as set forth by the Seattle Times, as
follows:
“The time is one that calls, not for i
a splendidly capable one-man govern
ment but for a government by many !
men, responding to the inspiration
of team work.
“The United States cannot get any-1
where with a government that is not
working single-mindedly and as a
unit for the accomplishment of defi
nite ends.
“Democracy is now confused by
overmuch conflicting counsel with
the Bryanites at one end, and the
Wilsonites at the other, and all other
“ites” in between, staging a ralistic
representation of Donnybrook Fair
on a busy afternoon.
“The G. O. P. has had eight years
in which to reunite its forces.
“During that eight years, a number
of major differences of opinion among
its various leaders have proved to be
of only minor importance after all.
“Given control of national affairs
in Washington during the next four
years, the party will open up a new
page in its and the country’s his
tory
"America needs the G. O. P. back.
AS IT SHOULD BE
Through the co-operation of a com
mittee from the Juneau Parent
Teachers Association and the School
Board, a petition was presented to
the council for an increase in the
•
salaries for the teachers of the public
schools of that town. In view of the
fact that the teachers had been en
gaged upon a contract stipulating the
salary to be paid, the the Daily Em
pire congratulates the council upon
the stand it took in removing from
Juneau the stigrr\a of not having pro
perly conpensated its educators, it
adds: “while available funds would
not permit of a larger increase, the
spirit of fairness shown should have
a far reaching effect.”
To the credit of that city it also
went a step further, and thus set a
good example to be followed by other
Alaskan towns, as the following ex
cerpt from the Empire report of the
progressive stand taken shows:
“when the entire matter was
presented to the council committee on
schools the increase was endorsed
by them and presented to the coun
cil. The council unanimously voted
to grant the increase from Septem
ber. last.”
Thus the poorly paid teachers are
not only to receive an increase in
salary, but also additional remunera
tion for services rendered during the
past six months. The Daily Times
has been a consistant advocate of a
large wage for this class of capable
and earnest workers, since which
time the subject has been taken up
not only in Alaska but throughout
the country, with beneficial results.
It now remains for every other town
in the territory to follow Juneau’s
lead and when this is done the par
ents can rest assured the excellent
standard of schools in Alaska will
continue to be maintained.

Feeble Mindedness and Moronism Are at
the Root of Our Social Problems.
%
By DR. WILLIAM S. SADLER, Chicago.
Experts tel] us that insanity is increasing 300 times faster than the
population m this country. I don’t believe it. 1 am not alarmed about
that, but I am tremendously alarmed about something that I know is in
creasing, even if insanity isn’t, and that is feeble-mindedness, moronism,
degeneracy. You can talk about immigration laws all you are a mind to.'
I don t care whether a man can read or write. I want to know before we
let him in this land of ours whether there is imbecility, insanity, feeble
mindedness or moronism in his veins. If there is, then I want the gates
closed absolutely against him. We have all we can absorb in a thousand
years and get away with.
Feeble-mindedness and moronism and degeneracy are at the root of
75 per cent of all our social problems, whether that be inebriety, pauperism, i
criminality or prostitution.
We have labored under the delusion that in America we had a mystic
melting-pot, that you could put anything in it you wanted to and get 100
per cent, good, sound, wholesome, red-blooded, pure-blooded Americans out
of it, but it is a lie. You {enow we don’t, get it and you know it now to
your sorrow. When you take the feeble-minded, degenerate stock of south
ern Europe and mix it up in the American matrimonial melting-pot it
doesn’t go. It comes out a crippled, weak and degenerate stock which can
not be altered by the institutions of democracy.
We have gone so far to protect the weak against the strong that legis
lation will be demanded in the next generation to protect the strong against
the weak, for the weak threaten us now with a sociological deluge of race
defectiveness.
F. W. Ives, Vice-President American Soeiotv of Agricultural Engineers
—The future of American farming lies not in more intensive cultivation
of small acreage, but in the extension of the acreage one man can brine*
under cultivation. What the American farm needs is the replacement
wherever possible of hand labor by machine.
