LETTERS TO EDITOR
"ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN.
Editor Day Book-rChildren brought
into this world should bear the same
names as their father, matter not
whether it was an act legalized by
minister, priest or courts, and the
mother should be entitled to just
' compensation, something after the
manner of a "sliding scale." She is
entitled to that amount which en
ables her to bring up the child ac
cording to the income of the father,
his standing in society, or the same
as his legalized children.
Wait a moment What about le
gal children. Isn't it from those that
we get the greater number of crim
inals and murderers? Not by num
bers, but on a percentage basis. And
why? The same thing, lust, was
hack of the father's motive, the
mother of the so-called illegitimate
child, being persuaded that every
thing would be well, did she not al
low uncontrolled emotions to enter
her mind, whereas with the legiti
mate child the mother had to submit
against her will, but with thoughts
of the great injustice penetrating
deep into her brain bring into effect
tliat Biblical verse the sins of the
fathers shall be visited upon the chil
dren unto the third and fourth gen
erations. Then another reason, ear
ly marriages, before male or female
are themselves matured, before brain,
blood, nerves, all organs of the body
have themselves reached the grow
ing point, naturally offspring will be
weaker in development than if the
parents had reached full maturity. It
may not show the first six months,
but as the child grows older all kinds
of mental and physical disorders
manifest themselves which may be
traced back to not born of love
born of parents who had not reached
their maturity. Environments and
education play a great part in life,
but prenatal influences are what
count. It's the foundation.
It's practical education that's-needed,
more so than educating the farm
er how to eliminate weaklings in cat
tle and horses. Yet thousands of
dollars are thuB spent, while "rack
and ruin," through ignorance, covers
the land. But no matter, we're
Christians, ain't we, and we pray
don't we, and sing praise God from
whom all blessings flow. Inger

"GREAT IS PULL"
Editor Day Book: May I ask what
pull there is to continually block the
sidewalks in the busy part of the
loop, Dearborn and Madison, to look
at a bulletin hung out by The Trib
une? Socialists are arrested a mile
away from the loop for blocking the
sidewalks. Projecting stands must
be torn down in the loop because the
streets are blocked, but day after day
crowds gather in Dearborn street,
blocking street and pavements, and
nothing is done to stop this adver
tising proposition. Great is pull.
