Bear writes on “The Single Tax Mania,” and on the subject of “Social Responsibility and Heredity,” Mrs. Pinsent remarks that “Methods such as control of the mentally defective are not an cannot be sufficient. Something further must be done to meet the position in which we find ourselves today. I mean the position arising from the fact that the undesirable sections of the population are producing children at a faster rate than the desirable. The efficient members of society must be encouraged to have larger families. This is the problem of the future.”  …

WATCH THEFT AT NEWTON: A MONTH’S HARD LABOUR:  Yesterday, the Newton Abbot Petty Sessions, Charles Britten, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing a gentleman’s silver watch, value 30s, the property of Eustace Brodrick, of Highweek, on September 12th. The evidence of the prosecutor was that he was working at Pinsent’s Brewery, and his coat and waistcoat, containing a watch and chain, knife, and pencil-case, were left in the passage. Prisoner came to see Mr. Pinsent, but after waiting ten minutes in the passage left. A traveling showman, named William Henry Whiting, said the prisoner offered him the watch for 6s, saying he wanted to sell it for a chap who was hard up. Witness told him that he could buy new watches for the hoop-la for 4s 9d, and eventually he purchased it for 3s 6d. P.C. Anstey proved the recovery of the watch and the arrest of the prisoner at midnight at the Jolly Sailor Inn. Prisoner pleaded guilty and had nothing to say. There was a previous conviction against the prisoner for an assault on a woman, at Newton, June last, and the Bench now sentenced him to one month’s hard labour.
