Natural selection stripped of en
vironment would bring the young
man and the young woman together
prompted, if you please, by the God
given power of loving and being lov
ed. Prompted by love, comes the
sweetest and purest and beat way to
establish this home, this unit of gov
ernment; but environment is such
thatlt makes our marriages commer
cial transactions too often. When
the Hiawatha of today beckons to
the maiden that he loves, he thinks
of some building and loan stock that
he has yet to mature, he thinks of
that little bank acocunt that is not
quite large enough yet, he thinks of
a piece of land, perhaps, that he has
not the first payment made on, and
the girl thinks of what her mother
tells her, she must finish her music,
she must go through college, she
must wait and postpone that mar
riage five years, and when the time
conies It is a commercial transaction.
I know this truth is not popular. I
know it Is not popular, but it is true
nevertheless, and you will find it up
lifting in all nature.
Birds are mating at this season of
the year. If you will watch them
closely, two will fly and start build
ing their nest. The male tloes not
say, "Sweetheart, you sit by here for
four or five years until I get a nest
ready." She doesn't say, "Oh, honey
dear, I am not ready to marry yet.
No, we will wait a year or two." But
no. if I can make myself clear, the
same natural influences that worked
there will work in the human fam
ily, If it is stripped of the environ
ment that has been coming as the
res ult of science to better human
families for the past 400 years. Let
me tell you, we have read somewhere
i that the sins of the father shall be
visited upon the children even until
the third and fourth generations. Is
eugenics going to now, with a little
twist of the hand, counteract all that
has been brought upon us along that
line from the violation of that edict?
I think not.
But I must hasten. The first ques
tion is, "Who should get married?"
and then the next one is, "Who
should not get married?" I am quite
sure that what I am about to say now
will not meet with your approval,
but as I told some of the friends
when this talk was first thought or,
that the reserved seats would be
nearest the door, so that if any could
not stand it, tliey could, evaporate.
Let me say, fiiBt of all, that "Man
cannot change a single law of nature
but he can conform to natural laws
much to his profit." Remember that
and I say, first of all, who should get
married? Every boy and girl, every
young man and woman In this fair
land of ours at the age of 22. At the
age of 22 every young man and wo
man of sound mind and healthy body
should get married. Why at the age
of 22? Cortell has found out that
the race that marries at the age of
22 will take the world In three cen
turies over the race that marries at
22, and If self preservation Is the
first law of nature, race preservation.
my dear friendB, ought to be a cloBe
second. I don't believe that it is
right for men and women to live
along perfectly unconscious of the
.ft.........,.' . race to which they belong. Now.
WHO BUUUIU KCl li.ai I it"-, uri vr vu.c.
I want to tell you that perhapB oh
I don't know how many 500,000
educated, cultured peoph' who have
gone through our universities. They
should get married, and should get
married quick. I say quick, not to
produce and laughter, but while the
population of this country has in
creased very much, the population of
Europe in 1800 was 175,000,000 peo
ple; in 1890 there was 420.000,000
people, not counting 35,000,000 that
had emigrated to other countries.
But where was the Increasi 7 ine
increase was in the cabin we looked
at at the beginning of this talk. The
Increase was wher. pauperif m grows.
The cultured of our country, as a
rule, if they marry, do not have cnu
dren. It is an astounding Tact, it is
one of the biggest JokeB on the Amer
ican people, the way that our public
school system operates.
We Rather taxes here and there
and wo spend money for educatum
the children of America. The prime
object of our school system is to
make better citizenship. How can
we succeed, when we educate from,
rather than toward, parenthood? Sta
tistics show an alarming condition
along this line, that, I say, half a
man or one man of these cultured
that should marry and have child
ren. Let me tell you, Cortell has
figured out that there ia three
fourths of a- son to a graduate of
Harvard university. Think of it.
And in our great woman's college of
Vassar, there is where the rich peo
ple go when our girls grow up and
have a little money they want to laud
over everyone. Cortell shows us that
college has one-half a daugnter 10
each graduate that Is from the time
it was started. They don't have any
at all now.

Out in California, when Burbank
had finished bis talk, some one asked
him. "Mr. Burbank. don't you tnlnK
it is possible that the acquired hab
its, particularly that of intemper
snee. can be transmitted to the off
spring?" Mr. Burbank said, I
don't know." and I thought he could
not treat me any worse than that. 8o
when I was making my talk, I re
minded Mr. Burbank, "Is it 'not
eauallr as possible. Mr. Burbank
that you transmit the culture of the
colleae graduate to tne offspring!
He said if one can be, the other
can. I turned to Prof. Fisher and
asked. "What percentage of the Yale
rraduates has married and had rnila
ren?" Incidentally he did not have
the data on hand, and I reminded
him that President Elliott of Har
vard stated a little over I per cent of
the graduates or iiarvaro aao mar
riod and had children. He would
not believe it. He said he would
look the matter up and vine aae a
letter when he got hone. He has
never written.

as this. There was no difficulty then
In establishing hornet that were the
proper or good units of government
There was no need In those good old
days, as there was in 1860, or of
President Wilson having a standing
army of 300.000 or 400,000 people.
Why, when the call came from Lin
coln for volunteers, they answered,
"We are coming, Father Abraham,
three hundred thousand strong,"
and where were they coming from?
They were coming from the homes
where father and mother and sisters
and brothers held each other dear.
They were going forth to fight for
something; they were going forth to
fight for home and native land, and
when you find men with that kind of
spirit, you don't need such a large
standing army to protect the homes.
What Is the army for? Is Isn't to
protect these units of government; it
is to protect the commercial Inter
ests of this country. That la what
it is for. Thero has been little at
tention paid, if you please, to the
building of homes of America. Our
scientists that are racking their
brains on Interbreeding had better
be paying attention to establishing
and maintaining a home; then we
can talk about people coming to
gether on a natural selection and not
what the scientists call proper selection.
Who, then, should get married? It
is estimated that 90 per cent of the
women of this country get married
before they are 40 years old. Think
of it, 90 per cent of them get married
before they are 40; and 1 wonder
what becomes of the other 10 per
cent beyond 40. I want to say to
those poor unfortunates that are
past 40, that there is yet some hope,
because I recall that Alexander Pope
says, "There Is no goose so gray but
soon or late will find an honest gan
der for a mate." So if there are
some not married by the time they
are 4 0, there is yet some hope. Bet
ter late than never. Now that I ex
plained conditions of things and who
ought to be married when they were
22, who can imagine, if our public
school system had been managed In
such a way as to tend toward parent
age and that our boys and girls had
been cultivated in such a way that
they marry at the age of 22, what
would have been the condition oi our
country today?
Instead of this large .fast Increas
ing population of the poor, we could
naturally expect we would have laws
that would equalize things so this
world's goods would be more equally
distributed and would not have been
in the deplorable condition that It
is now, that a few own it all and the
rest live In cabins, poor tenement
houses, are poorly fed and poorly-
clad. Why wouldn't It be a'good
Idea to start now? Why wouldn t it
be a good idea to start educating so
ciety along that line and by our do
mestic science teach our girls bow to
make a few baby dresses? Why
wouldn't It be a good Idea to teach
our boys to make cradles and baby
buggies, rather than squandering
their time in boring holes that
amount to nothing? Why, in other
words, wouldn't It be a good Idea to
transfer our puldic school to teach
our own chlldun, Instead of gather
ing taxes for the American to edu
cate the other families' children? If
It wasn't for the foreign immigrant
coming to this country and the nat
ural way they live, we wouldn't have
need of so many school buildings.
This is an alarming condition or
things.
Then who should not get married?
I believe you will all agree with me
that no man or woman that loves a
poodle dog better than they love a
baby ougnt to gel married, ana yet
there are that kind of people.
Now, In this world of ours we have
just four kinds of people. We have
the black, brown, white and yellow.
I don't think it is hardly right for a
black man to marry u white woman.
I don't believe it hardly right for a
white man to marry a black woman;
yet the amalgamation of the races Is
something that Is appalling. We view
some countries that have almost an
entirely new race. New Zealand
hasn't got the people she had 200
years ago. Australia hasn't got the
country that she had 100 years ago.
In America, we have in round num
bers ten million black people; eight
million of them or about, are pure
black, about two and a half million
are inulatos. These mulatos have in
creased twice as fast in the last
twenty vears as has the black people,
That race question will take care of
itself if it keeps on at that rate, and
so we say the black man should not
marry a white woman, and these
races should not amalgamate: dui
what are you going to do when they
do mix? Statistics show that that
very thing occurs.
I don't know if I could tell exact
lv alon the line of proper selection
who should not marry. It is pretty
difficult to make a statement of that
kind to an audience like this; but
you might as well know it; we must
talk these things over. Who should
not get married? That large army
of men and women who have linger
ed too long at the shrine of the un
clean Venus, have drunk too deep
and too often of the cop of Bacchus
demoralized their physical and men
tal makeun until they should not
marry. They should be sterilized
Now. in conclusion, don't want you
to think I am aoine crazy on this
subiect. but I want you. you teach
ers, you people who claim to be cul
tured and civilised, take a gooa
square look at this boasted civilica
lion of nun: and then KO back to
your histories and read of other na
tlon and races of people. Look at
Rome, how she drifted along, he
came wealthy and luxurious, and
marriage, child bearing and child
rearing became unpopular, unfash
lonable in Rome. And if you read
your history close, you will find that
they became unfruitful, and imioor
nlltv Increased until Rome that sat
on her seven hills and ruled the
world came down and paid the pen
alty of the law of Almighty God. the
same as every other nation would
have to pay if this condition of
things continue.
Take Greece, who boasts of De
mosthenes, of her . Athens of learn
ing, the same is true. Take Carth
age, who . used to be so particular
they would kill off all the cross-eyed
and crippled babies, so (hat they
wouldn't grow only strong men that
could run and fight. And the Spar
tans, who taught their youth to aim
at the sun and they would shoot
higher than if they aimed at the
moon. Conquest, victory and defeat
seemed to breed Immorality and sex
gluttony. Child bearing and child
rearing was unfashionable; the
home, the unit of the government, If
you please, was destroyed, and the
government gave way to a natural
class of men, men that were living
closer to nature, and so it will be In
the history of every nation. Think,
my dear hearers, earnestly and hon
estly and sincerely of the race propo
sition; think of the Anglo-Saxon
blood, of the price that has been paid
to defend It, and In the sight of God
have a conscious thought to estab
lish a home mother, father and
children that has the units of gov
ernment, that will protect as In days
of old.
I can do not better than to close
this speech as I began it with the
admonition of Isaiah:
"Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his
thoughts and let him return unto the
Lord, and He will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, who will abun
dantly pardon."
Let us do this as a home, let us do
this as a community, let us do this
as a state, and as a nation, and all
will be well.

In the train load on tho B. & O. from
1910 to 1913 resulted in a saving of
$4,500,000 in train movement ex
penses.
If only one railroad can save $4,-
500,000 by increasing tho work of
their train crews, the corresponding
saving to nil tho roads In the United
States amount to a tremendous total.
And yet, the railway officials in
form vs that the granting of an
eight-hour day would cost the rail
roads one hundred million dollars.
Aside from the fact that this esti
mate is "a figure of the imagina
tion," it is assumed without any con
sideration whatever of the economics
of train operation.
Should not a part of the "saving"
to which President Wlllard refers go
toward bettering the condition of the
train crews whose work makes the
"savings"?
Railroad officials anticipate that
freight trains will continue to be
come heavier and of greater tonnage.
The employes claim that by all
rules of right and Justice, they are
entitled to a shorter work day, as
their work becomes more and more
arduous, taking their strength and
endurance to the limit.

FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY
Railroad Unployen Claim that Reve
nue nf CohiixtiUeN Have Increas
ed Knomiously In liftte Years
Cleveland. Ohio, May 17 The
publicity bureau of the railway
brotherhoods has issued the follow
Ing statement:
The railroad brotherhoods are
asking the railroads to better their
conditions and grant an eight-hour
day.
The men claim that the revenues
of the companies have increased
enormously on account of long heavy
tonnage freight trains.
Tne men desire relief from the
long hours of arduous labor which
have increased greatly in recent
years on account of the heavier and
longer trains. Official reports show
that there has been an Increase of 33
per cent In the tractive power of lo
comotives, an increase of 30 per cent
in the capacity of freight cars, an in
crease of 29 per cent In the number
of freight cars in a train .an Increase
of 23 per cent in the number of load
ed cars in a train, an Increase of 19
per cent in the tons carried in the
loaded car and a total increase of 4?
per cent in the tona carried by the
average freight train.
A statement issued by the execu
tive committee of the Association of
Western Railways, April 23, 1916,
declares that the railroads received
In the year 1890, $1.65 per freight
train per mile and in 1914 the earn
ings per freight train per mile were
$3.31 or an increase of 100 per cent
over 1890.
Tb freight train crews are pro
ducing double the revenue for , the
railroads according , to this state
ment by the roads themselves.
All this shows . that the freight
train crew of the present time is
moving a far greater amount of traf
fic and producing a far greater reve
nue for the roads than the crew of a
few years ago. A greater amount of
tonnage movement ia thus concen
trate! in each of the working hours.
It follows that even with a shorter
work dy of eight hours the freight
train crew of today can move a great
er amount of tonnage than the same
crew moved in ten hours a decade
ago.
By increasing the tonnage moved
by the train crew from year to year.
the railroads Increase their revenues
enormously without Increasing the
ex per e of moving the train.
