HORRIBLE EXAMPLES PARADE
THE NEW YORK STREETS
NEW YORK, Oct. 25—An unusual
campaign, calling attention to the
deficiencies of devitalized heritage,
has been launched by the Medical
Review of Reviews and persons in
terested in eugenics to limit the
birth of children who may become a
burden to the state.
Half a dozen decrelit, poverty
stricken, pooriy clad, underfed men
are sent out every day to parade
Fifth avenue, Wall street and other
crowded thoroughfares with poster
signs asking all to read whether
these poster carriers should be al
lowed to become fathers. Saturday
was their second day on the streets.
Some of the posters read:
“I am a burden to myself and to
the state. Should I be a father?”
“1 have no opportunity to educate
or feed my children or myself; they
may become criminals.”
“Would the prisons and asylums
be filled if my kind had no children
Are you willing to have me bring
children into the world?”
“I cannot read this sign, by what
right have I children?”
“I must drink alcohol to sustain
life, shall I transmit the craving to
others ?”
The propaganda was originated
by Frederick H. Robinson, president
of the Review.
“These signs are self explanatory,’’
Mr. Robinson said.

BARGE LOST NEAR CORDOVA
(From the Juneau Empire)
The American sloop barge Wash
ington is a total wreck on the west
erly side of Kyak island ,two miles
off Cape St. Elias, according to a re
port filed in the United States cus
toms office this morning. The barge
was bound to Cordova in tow of the
tug Pioneer when she met with
mishap, having encountered a rough
sea and becoming waterlogged.
The Washington grounded at 3:30
p.m., on October 10, The crew of
the barge endeavored to pump the
water from the vessel, but the seas
came in so fast that the vessel had
to be abandoned, the crew of six
men and a stowaway reaching shore
in boats from the Pioneer.
The Washington was a barge of
708 gross and 674 net tons burden.
She was built in 1898 at Portland,
Ore., and was registered at Tacoma
Wash. She was owned by the Alas
ka Barge Co., of Tacoma and her
last port of sailing was Port Towns
end. The vessel is valued at about
$5,000, and her cargo, consisting of
1,000,000 of lumber, is worth $10,
350. The amount of insurance on
the vessel and cargo is not known,
according to the report, which was
fixed by O. Beaton, master of the
tug Pioneer.
The vessel is said to be breaking
up. The exact spot where she lies
is 144 deg. 10 min. West longitude,
and 59 deg. 45 mni. North latitude.
LESLIE S REPRESENT
ATIVE IN TOWN
Mr. H. Brown, who is registered
at the Stedman Hotel where he will
remain for a day or two, has just
returneJ from a trip to the interior
where he visited all and every place
of interest. Mr. Brown has charge
of the Alaska circulation of Les
lie’s Weekly, the noted publication
whose editor, Col Sleicher, visited
Alaska recently.
The Cordova Daily Times, whose
place Mr. Brown visited, has this to
say about Leslie’s Weekly, in which
a series ot articles is now being pub
lished about Alaska. The Times says:
“Leslie’s has always been friend
ly to Alaska, and was the first of
the magazines to expose the con
versation fallacy that was respon
sible for the bottling up of the re
sources of this northland. At the
time. Robt. Heinl rripde the trip
through Alaska with Secretary Fish
er’s party and upon his return to the
states he took up our cause and
lid effective work. Recently, Col.
Sleicher visited the coast towns and
ie is now writing of the conditions
is they actually exist.”
It is useless to say that the Cor
dova Daily Times has not exagger
ited in its compliment of the great
work done by that publication. Tn
Leslie’s Weekly, Alaska has a true
friend.

BELGIANS THOUGHT THEIR
DELIVERANCE Ai HAND
GENEVA, Oct. 25—In a recent is
sue of'the Strassburg Tost, a descrip
tion is given of the manner in which
the Belgians received the news of
the great success won by the allies
on the western front last week. It
says:
“When the first news of the allied
victory became known a feverish
emotion took hold of Brussels. With
great effrontery the French and Bel
gian national anthems were whistled
all day in the streets, but on the
approach of German patrol, there
was silence.
“There was general joy at the vic
tory over the enemy among the Bel
gians. When an enemy aviator ap
peared over the city the citizens
rushed to the roofs of their homes
thinking it was the hour of their de
liverance.
“We must educate Brussels and the
Belgians.”
