‘LIFE » Overpopulation. W have often read the scriptural command about Multi anid replenish- reasing, me the human race has been respecting without ceasin nce the time our rst progenitors had birth. We have also read the Malthus sereed, in w hh the fact is stated, That if we don’t stop this programme we'll be overpopulated ; And it frankly is admitted, if some lines had been abated, Or had never seen existence, We'd be better situated ; As for instance There's th Ile's too numerous. au who gets a job because he is somebody's son, ‘There's the man bebind the jimmy, there's the man behind the gun, He's too numerous. ‘There's the fossil who Is out of date, and should be on the shelf; There's the pauper as to intel of pelf, Lives by other people's work, and never does a lick himself, who's left a wa Ile’s too numerous.

Edgerton. An Appeal. QYDITOR OF LIF Would you be so goodasto % make an announcement in your far-reaching publication that the Massachusetts Anti-Compulsory Vaccination Society is taking a vaccination case on appeal from the Massachusetts Supreme Court to the Supreme Court of the United States? aken to the United tate Supreme Courts ation law to be un- No case of the kind has ever be States Supreme Court. Several have decided the compulsory vac constitutional, and the Massachusetts Supreme Court is the only one that has d it was constitutional and really worked no hardship.

If the law is right, of course it should be enforced. If it is not right, why force protestants to pay any sum to exempt themselves therefrom ? If the Supreme Court of the United States declares the compulsory vaccination law unconstitutional, no State of the those : one did not wish union can thereafter enact such a law, and dy in existence will be wiped off. This, therefore, is as much a help to any other State as to Massachu- nd we feel that other States would be willing to help us is fact. Pennsylvania has already pledged if you would be so good as to put a n of your readers to this matter, I this doubt, there would be those who would respond. Thanking you in advance for your friendly assistance, I am, ly yours, J.C. Hunderson, heartiest sympathies are with the people of Massachusetts.
