THE MARRIAGE QUESTION
(Continued from last week))
"Backward, turn backward, oh,
time. In thy flight, make me a child
again Just for tonight." When I was
a child in the good olden time and
prayed at a fond mother's knee, oh,
little thought I that the cares of the
world would cast the dark shadows
on me. William Wadsworth bursts
forth in his poetry:
"How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents
them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep
tangled wild wood,
And all the loved spots which my
Infancy knew.
The wide spreading pond and the
mill that stood by It,
The bridge and the rock where the
cataract fell,
The cot of my father, the dairy house
nigh it,
And e'en the rude bucket which
hung In the well."
Such are the sentiments that come
from this right kind of unit of gov-
ernmnlg this home, and you will ex
cuse me, but It matters not where we
go, how long we live, that home sen
timent will forever and ever cling to
us.
I know of no better way to bring
that sentiment vividly before you
than is explained by Thomas Camp
bell in his "Exile of Erin." There
was a story that a man In Ireland,
for some cause or another, I do not
know what, was banished to an isle
of the sea. and Thomas Campbell un
dertakes to portray this man's feel
lng for home and country while In
this lonely place, and In the second
verse of that poem it seems that the
exile thinks first of his country, he
exclaims:
"Erin, my country, though sad and
forsaken.
In dreams I review that seashore:
But alas! in a far foreign country, I

awaken,
And sigh for the friends who can
meet me no more.
Never again shall my brothers em
brace roe,
They died to' defend me, or live to
deplore."
And then his heart filled up as he
thinks of home and mother. He
bursts out:
"Where in the cabin door, fast by the
wild wood.
And where is the mother that watch
ed o'er my childhood.
And where Is the bosom friend, dear
er than all?
Oh, my sad heart long abandoned by
pleasure,
Why did it dote on a fast fading
treasure?
Tears like the rain drop, may fall
without measure,
Hut beauty and rapture they cannot
recall."
My friends, the beauty and rapture
of home cannot be forgotten.
This circle called home, made up
of father, mother, sisters and broth
ers, may have their Internal trouble.
It matters not if a brother knock an
other down, or a sister pull another
Bister's hair, it makes no difference;
but when it comes to a common as
sault against the home, the entire
family is ready to defend that home
where God reigns and love sits su
preme. Dut how did this home begin? It
did not always exist. What was the
nucleus around which this home life
grows? What was the beginning of
this home? When Ood created the
heavens and the earth and all that
therein be, he created man and he
created woman. He did not create
man to live alone, neither did he cre
ate woman to live alone. It was nec
essary that this man and woman
form some kind of a partnership to
start this home, and that brings us
directly to the question as announc
ed. We call that partnership marriage.
Nature and the birds form that kind
of a partnership. They call it mat
ing: we call It marriage.
Who, then, should marry and who
should not marry? I take it for
granted that most, of this audience
are married people. If happily mar
rled, "God bless you." If you are
not happily married, you might be
likened unto that fellow who had the
bear by the tail and around a tree,
"A little tiresome to hang on, a lit
tie uncertain to let go."
I contend here, as I contended In
California, that these two people
come together according to the plan
of Almighty God. The day when he
created man and when he created
woman he placed In the breast of
each the power of coming to the oth
er. I care not whether you call it
instinct or int uition, or what you call
it, but as I said out there in Califor
nia, it seems to me that it is far bet
ter to call it by the sweetest word in

the English language, a little word of
four letters, spelled and pronounced
love . I can make this no plainer
to you by any words of my own than
to take you into that splendid por
trayal of natural selection. Mark
you, I don't say proper selection. We
will come to that later on. A natur
al selection, then, Is portrayed by
Longfellow In his poem of "Hiawa
tha." Those of you who are ac-'
quainted with that splendid piece of
literature will recall that the ancient
arrowmaker's daughter was sitting
there, perfectly composed and satis
fied, nothing of an unsettled nature,
and along comes a stranger from a
strange tribe, and from some unfore
seen means, I cannot explain it, la
dles and gentlemen, by some way or
another, he was attracted to the
maiden and the maiden was attracted
to him, and the beautiful language
that Longfellow uses as she had left,
going down through the woods with
Hiawatha
"Thus it is our daughters leave us,
Those we love and those who love us,
Just when they have grown to help
us,
Comes some stranger with flaunting
feathers,
Wondering, piping through the vil
lage, Beckons to the fairest maiden,
And she leaves all things for the
stranger."
The only consolation that could be
gained from the circumstance was
the soliloquy which follows:
"As unto the bow, the cord is,
So unto man Is woman;
Though she bends him she obeys
him,
Though she leads him, yet she fol
lows, Useless each without the other."
Now I have an Idea that if my
friend Francis Galton had been up
there when Hiawatha beckoned to
the maiden he would have said
"Hold on, there, by, wait a minute
until I see whether this maiden Is a
eugenic companion for you.
"No, Hiawatha; she is cross-eyed
and freckled. You can't marry her.
For such union will not be conducive
to the ideal superhuman."
I want to tell you, my friends, that
there is a class of men gone crazy on
this trying to arrange so that they
can breed what they call superman;
that is, man that will be larger and
stronger.
From the fact that the Chester-
White hog Is better than the wild hog
of the forest, forgetting that the
Chester-White is the result of much
interbreeding, so much that there is
no brains left in him, nothing but
avoirdupois. Yet these men are try
ing to breed us up to this superman.
So I thank fortune, my friends, Gal
ton wasn't there to stop that wed
ding.
Now they propose to tell us that
this woman and this man shall not
marry because one is an idiot and the
other is Insane. If an Insane man
wants to marry an idiot, I say, all
right, let him go ahead: but that is
simply begging the question.
Nebraska and most of the Btates of
the union have now statutory restrlc
tions upon the marrying of idiots
and feeble-minded people, and those
that have not will enact them before,
very long. In all probability. i
I can do no better in this question
of selection than to briefly relate a
little experience at the International
conference on race betterment in
California last August.
I don't want you to think at all
that I am exaggerating, but it was
truly interesting. They began the
program there with a paper from Lu
ther Burbank, the plant wizard of
California. Now, those of you who
have read of Burbank know that he
is a wonderful man, has aone won
derful things in breeding plant life.
In the hybridization, be calls it, of
plant life, be has experimented so as
to produce the most beautiful flow
ers. Not only tills, nut nas improv
ed the varieties of cereals so they are
much more profitable to the grow
ers, but Immediately following him
came Prof. Paul Poponoe, of Wash
ington, D. C, editor or the Journal
of Heredity, reading a paper for an
hour on proper selection in the hu
man family, carrying along the same
line of thought that Burbank did in
plant life, and after he had finished,
Prof. Irving S. Fisher of Yale Eu
genics arose and followed In the
same vein. During th'at time, there
was absolutely nothing, there was no
indication of any of the finer or di
vine sentiment coming into home life
or anything that would bring togeth
er man and woman on such Impulse.
They forgot one thing, and that
was that when Burbank was experi
menting in plant life, there was a
human superintending hand, and I
asked them there on the floor who it
was that would superintend the
breeding of human life.
But who is going to superintend in
this breed'ng of the human family;
who is going to superintend this
breeding that we can make the sup
erhuman perfect? And when I told
them that I believed there was some
thing in this life that was above hu
man power, I tried to tell them there
were two kinds of sentiment; one
was human and one was superhu
man. Scientists take a grain of wheat
and tear it apart: but they cannot
put it together again and make It
grow. It takes a, superhuman pow
er to do that. Further, I contended
there, and I contend here, that it
takes a superhuman power to bring
a man and woman together In holy
matrimony and for the benefit of
mankind.
In that auditorium there were per
haps 1,500 to 2.000 or more people,
and when I argued that there ' was
such a thing as human affection -expressed
in the simple, little word
"love" that told of a power, above
and beyond human Bcience, and that
this was the Influence under the su
perintending care of Almighty God
that brought about natural selection,
the audience seemed to catch the
spirit at once and was quite demon
strative, and Professor Fisher saw
the effect on the audience, he became
quite excited. Says ae. I owe you
an apology. I owe this .meeting an
apology, I forgot the very soul of
my speech. I meant to say that the
proper, Intelligent study of eugenics
would bring about the sweetest, the
purest and the most enduring love."
There was a little old man, he was
an octogenarian, I afterwards learn
ed, he and his good wife were sitting
up In front, on loose chairs, and ev
ery time anyone was talking, the old
gentleman would move his chair and
prime his ear; he seemed to be a lit
tle deaf, and when I was through, he
arose, and said: "Mr. Chairman, I
enjoyed this meeting very much; sor
ry I can t stay longer, but before go-j
lng I Just want to make this state-,
ment: Fifty-two years ago I went to I
a taffy pulling, and there I made my
selection of this lady, my wife. We ,
have lived happily together for fifty-:
two years. To us have been born
eight sons, all of whom, thank God,
we have lived to see grow up, marry
and have families." That was the
best speech that "was made In that
whole program that afternoon, and
my emotions overcame me. I had to
go up and embrace him. But bo it
Is. There is where the proper, the
natural selection is made. Stripped
of environment, there would be no
trouble In this world of ours along
the line of natural selection. It Is
quite hard for these human scientists
to tell us now In this late day, after
this human family has lived in open
violation of God Almighty's law from
the beginning .you might say, for
these fellows to come now and tell
us that by the proper selection we
can overcome all that sin we have
committed.
