Mr. McGill announced that the page and the assistant chief clerk were present and requested that they be sworn. The committee composed of Messrs. Davis, Thomas and Iredale was requested to wait on one of the Associate Justices of the supreme court and request his presence in the Senate to administer the oath of office to these officers. The committee soon returned with the Hon. Associate Justice Corn, who administered the oath of office to Mr. Hugh Hynds, assistant chief clerk, and Harry Langheldt as page of the Senate. The following communication was received and read: Office of Orchard Grove Fruit Farm. Joseph Wolff, Proprietor. Boulder, Colorado, Jan. 1, 1901. Hon. Pres't State Senate, Cheyenne, Wyo. Dear Sir:-I may possibly be taking an unwarranted liberty in calling your careful attention to the booklets herewith. Even if your views do not fully coincide with the evident intention of this effort, I beg you to hand them to some able, fearless and earnest member of the body over which you preside, with the suggestion-or the request-that he will present this bill, or some modification of it that will not destroy its purpose, to your body for regular action. If its passage may be hopeless, it will, at least, give an opportunity for the expression of an intelligent opinion which, in time, will awaken public thought on the most vital question affecting our civilization, namely, the production of a higher type of humanity. I have recently mailed copies of these booklets to the presiding officer of every state legislative body in the Union, accompanied by a similar request. Action will certainly be taken on this or a similar bill at the present session of the Colorado general assembly; and, from personal assurances I have received from many of its members, it will receive large attention if it does not actually become a law. Other states are moving in the same direction, and from present indications, our country, at least, will soon make the effort to stop the production of criminals, cripples, imbeciles, idiots and invalids by the authority of law and with the "blessing" of the clergy! I am, very truly yours, |
