THE MILLENNIUM THE LAST REVIVALIST HAS JUST SUG- GESTED THAT THE MAN WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE, Who Is Zueblin? MILWAUKEE dispatch quotes “Dr. Charles Zueblin of Boston” as saying in a lecture in Milwaukee: The day is coming when we shall want to use the scientific knowledge we are acquiring, so that every child coming into the world will have at birth the presence of a government physician to see that it is guaran- teed life. The mother may have as many private physicians and as many other people as are within the com- mand of her pocketbook, but the gov- ernment will guarantee a decent en- trance into the world. There you have the German idea. “Once in the world,” says Doc. Zue- blin, “the child is the offspring of the nation as well as of the mother and father. As we inspect the children coming from Europe we must inspect those coming from nowhere.” A government physician at every birth—an intruder, backed, if necessary, by a file of cops in every house that awaits a new baby—that, then, is Ger- man system and German subordination of life to the state! Is it possible that a man capable of such extravagant and absurd prognos- tications of government supervision is aphysician in good standing in Boston? Nothing is more useful or admirable than to provide that all expectant mothers shall be able to command skilled care in childbirth. Nothing would be more objectionable than to force on women who can get such care for themselves the attendance of a government official whom they didn’t want.
