SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1915.
The idea of Carnegie and Rockefeller contributing to funds for the
furtherance of the eugenic marriage propaganda is enough to make a dog bite
his father through sheer disgust. Just imagine men like that advocating
the inhuman principle of sterilization that human defectives might be elimi
nated. when, if we go right to the bottom of the matter, we shall find that
human defectives are born of the human slaves who have toiled in poverty
that such men might reap millions.
No one but a downright simpleton could conceive of such a course for
the amelioration of human imperfections. If the liberty of defectives to in
ter-marry could have injured the race surely the human race would have
succumbed long ago, but. instead of that, we know that the race has improved
physically and mentally, the creation of men of predatory wealth and slave
driving propensities to the contrary nothwithstanding.
It is a well accepted statement that genius is akin to madness and we
know that genii have often given birth to fools and vice versa. Many a
genius in one respect has been a fool in all the others. Carnegie or Rocke
feller. for instance, might be a genius in the art of getting other people’s
money or in the capacity of proving to their own satisfaction that child sweat
.-hops are the best colleges for the coming population, and they might be
the most utter idiots when it comes to the philosophy of human improve
ment. But what we have to remember is that we ean establish no standard
on which to base a eugenic law. It is to be assumed that the growth of
mentality would be the first object to bo gained by such a course and to
whom shall we give the power to judge between one mentality and another?
As to physical imperfections we cannot improve them. It is true that many
diseases are hereditary but it also true that those diseases often make their
appearance only after marriage, and it is also true that iu the majority of
cases doctors could only discover the presence of disease in its minor forms
in a small minority of cases, anil it is further true that when disease is well
advanced marriage and reproduction are either impossible or so improbable
that the danger from them is negligible.
One swallow does not make a summer but when we see so many of
ficials coming here to make observations of harbors, coaling bases, etc., we
begin to feel that the w inter of our discontent is past.
❖ NOTES FROM THE WEST. <v
•> — ■ ■ ❖
SANAK, August 29.—Quite a
number of our people were in attend
ance at court in Unga while it was in
session there. PaulotT Harbor was
represented by John Porter. George
Kergussen. ami Christ Gunderson. P.
K. Nielsen, Emil Mobeck and W.
Carlesen went from here.
Gus Holmberg made a trip to Dora
Harbor the middle of the month.
Mr. Holmberg brought the fishermen
who have been fishing the Dora
Horbor station during the summer
season back to Sanak. The summer
pack has been quite satisfactory al
though not quite up to average.
II. Benson made a business trip to ;
the mainland last week.
Haying is in full blast here and the
dry weather is being taken advantage
of to get the silos filled with the
native hay that is so abundant on the
island.
School will open for the new term
on Aug. W)th. Owing to the long
winter vacation there was but two
weeks summer vacation this year.
Most of the natives of the village
are out salting and smoking fish for
winter. The salmon run is always
late on Sanak and there is abundant
opportunity to prepare the xvint*
supply after the cannery has closed
and there is no further sale for fish.
A number of the people of Sanak
are preparing to go hunting ami trap
ping this winter. Very few went last
winter owing to the low price of fur.
Mrs. Christ Gunderson, who spent
the summer in Sanak while her hus
band was at Dora Harbor where he is
employed by the Union Fish Co., has
returned to her home in Pauloff
Harbor.
MURDER AND SUICIDE
AT LAKE WASHINGTON.
| Beat* Wife, Killed Man who Tru*d to
Help Her and Blew His
Own Bruins Out.
SEATTLE, Sept. 3.—James Crock
er, of Newport, Lake Washington,
beat his wife last night and was still
beating her when Morris Cole came
to her aid and was killed by the in
furiated husband. After murdering
Cole Crocker blew out his own brains.
The cause was drink. Crocker had
been drinking hard for some time and
had almost become crazed. It is sup
posed that Mrs. Crocker remonstrated
with him.
KIDNAPPED THIRTY YEARS
AGO AND DISCOVERED.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.—Mrs.
G. E. Kostadt of this city has beon
identified as Anne Mooney who was
kidnapped by a Chinaman thirty
years ago when she was only five
years of age. At the time the child
was stolen a big furore was created
and the whole detective force of the
city and coast was put to work to
find her. It was supposed then and
now it has been proven that the kid
* napper hid the child in a trunk.
LONGSHOREMEN ARE
STILL THREATENING.
SEATTLE, Sept. 4.—The condi
tions relating to the threatened strike
of longshoremen remain the same as
they were yesterday. The chances
are all apparently in favor of the
strike occurring.
