“LINE OF RAGE DEPENDS
ON PURITY OF ITS MEN”
Boston, January 17.—* ‘The last
ing of the white race i3 involved
in the questions of the social evil, ’ ’
said President Emeritus Charles
W. Eliot, of Harvard university,
in an address at the City club last
night. “We have got to remove
this evil,” he continued, ‘‘or this
country will not be ruled by the
race that is now here. The family
life of the white race is at stake
in its purity, healthfulness and
fertility, We have tried the policy
of silence and the policy of segre
gation, but there is no cure except
the observance by men of the
same standards that almost all
races demand of their women.

MR. DOLLARS FAMILY
MOURN LOSS OF PET DEERS.
For the last week the family of
Mr. E. F. Dollar have been griev
ing over the loss of a couple of
household pets which had grown
very, dear to Jthctti*.-jtwo‘ tame
deers. adoeand-a buck, which
they have owned for several years.
TheFemail deer was killed by
a man who, it is said, thought
she was wild, after having run
the pet animal with his dogs for
some time. The buck has either
beety killed, thinks Mr. Dollar, or
is shut up somewhere.
Mr. Dollar himself and every
member of his family had grown
very much attached to the ani
mals, as they had become as gen
tle and docile as a housecat or a
yard dog, and no kind of money
would have induced them to part
with the pets.
