PRESIDENTIAL POSSIRI LI TIES IN 1920 A popular pastime just at present, as the smoke of the recent national ! political battle is drifting away, reSvealing advanced positions held by the various leaders in that conflict, is picking the presidential winner in 1920. Old lines have heen wiped away and old leaders tind new leaders among the younger men of the f parties coming into prominence as a result of the alignment of states in the last election. From the West the figure of Hiram Johnson, of California, a progressive-republican, (\vith the accent on progressive, who has been elected to the TTnitofl ?.... * - I ? __ ui.ai.cn r>vlltt i.t* uy ;i I great plurality of 3 00,000 in a state m carried by Woodrow Wilson by ovnr 3.000, looms above the horizon. His v\ career in the TTnited States senate will determine his position in 1920. At present Hiram Johnson stands in better favor with the democratic party than he does with the old re| publican party, whose downfall he has contributed to in no small degree. But what shifts of position may come of his part in the affairs of the country, as a senator within the next four years, it is impossible to say. Today he is a formidable figure and a presidential possibility. In the democratic party Vance MeCormick, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the democratic national committee, has a hold upon the public by reason of his services in the campaign just brought to a successful close under his direction.

Mr. Baker is a native ol 11 West Virginia, but has been mayor a of Cleveland, Ohio, succeeding the | late Tom Johnson. Though his ca-i? reer in the cabinet has been short, it 11 1# has been able, and his political influence at home has evidently been a 11 great contribution to the democratic ^ party. f Of course, there is a suspicion that William Jennings Bryan has designs on the democratic nomination in s 1920.

Governor Manning in a paper boore the charities and corrections convention in Charleston last week irged the establishment oi' a home or the feeble-minded on a number of [rounds: In the first place, feeble-tuindedless. so far as medical science now tnows, is absolutely incurable. In his respect it differs from insanity, 'or a good many cases of insanity ire curable. The insane person has ost the mind that he once had; we 5ive him hospital treatment to re store tils mental abilities. The feeble-minded person never had any mind beyond a certain point; ho ifalways a child mentally, th nigh physically he may grow to ripe old age. What he needs is such care and training as will make him happy end content, able to work under supervision and thus to sustain himself, at least in a measure. In the second place, a high percentage of feeble-mindedness is in tierited. That is to say, whatever nay be the other causes of this sad iffliction, heredity plays the major )art. This fact clearly defines the jest point of attack. The fe hie ninded must be kept from propagatng themselves, two methods of dong this have been most fretyxentjy nentioned, namely sterilization ann egregation. The former, though egalized in several states, has nor ieen welcomed by public opinion to ny very considerable extent. Segregation, on the other hand, is iractical so far as it goes, though 1 0 state has made this or any other :ind of provision for all its feebleminded. South Carolina cannot exert. as least not in the immediate uture, to provide institutional car* or all her feeble-minded; but at cast a beginning in institutional care hould be made in 1917, and, ultilately, as many as can be should be i ared for in this way. In the third place, statistics show 1 hat the feeble-minded propagate aster than normals, in fact, probbly twice as fast. The feeble- ; linded woman who is poor is in a ery pitiable condition. It matters 1 ittle whether she is married or not. The State Hoard of Chhrities and 1 'orreetions has found one woman | rho. according to her own count, is ! he mother of ten illegitimate ebil-l ren. Wp hope her statement is not rue, hut even if half true the case is erious enough. Another can stand m her doorsteps and point out the lomes of seven of her illegitimate hildren. Still another has had six hildren one of whom is an idiot, anther a mulatto; and it seems probaile thnt five of the six are illegitimate rhe story of "Jennie" indicates liow; hose conditions may arise without ny intention or appreciation of( 11 oral wrong on the part of the poot 1 nfortunate girl-woman. In the fourth place, the number ot eeble-minded is really alarming. Apparently, no one disputes the estinate that three out of every one housand persons in the general pop-' ilation are feeble-minded. As a result of intensive studies of housands of cases, competent stu lents estimate that twenty to (weny-five per cent of all criminals are 1 nentallv defective. Th's percentage uns much higher among recidivists.! >r repeaters, that is persons who are onstantly going through the criniin- < il courts. Statistics indicate thnt ully forty per cent of the convictions! n the courts of this country each rear are of persons who have been convicted before. Apparently, ton. 1 his forty per cent of the total eon mictions come from about twenty tc | wenty-five per cent of the tota?, lumber of persons convicted. That . s, about one-fourth of all the crimnals convicted in our courts commit nore than forty per cent of the de-i ected and punished crime. That this is a conservative est!-! nate is indicated hy the statement hat in Massachusetts in 1914, ac-1 >ording to official reports, there were 13,303 persons in the prisons of that itate under sentence for crime. Of' hese, 13,437, or 57.6 per cent were recidivists, or repeaters, having an iverage of seven an., one-half convio 1 Ions each to their credit. The total' innr.ber of recorded sentences was 110,816 of which these repeaters rereived 100,050. "In other words." to I tuote Mr. Joseph P. Byers, president if the American Prison Association, vho is the authority for these figures. '57.5 per cent of the convicted erltn- i nals were guilty of 01 ner cent o.! he crimes." It is further estimated that about >ne per cent of all our public school' rhildren are mentally defective; that) Ifty per cent of all the inmates of >ur poor bouses are feeble-minded.I md that one-half of the prostitutes ire feeble-minded.* A year ago I reached the conclus- * on that the state should provide forj< ta feeble-minded before establishing M i reformatory for girls. This con- 1 dusion was based upon the followng facts: (1) that a very large per- 1 JESDAY, NOV. 28, 1916 centage of the boys in the Sout Carolina Industrial school woi found, after careful testing, to be di fcctive; (2) that similar studies I other institutions of like character ! other states have resulted in nun the same findings; (3) that varioi investigations of girls delinquen show them to be feeble-minded probably one-half the cases; (4) th: these defective girls would not 1 ceive the kind of care that they ne< in a reformatory; (5> that to subje the poor feeble-minded girl, unab to control herself, and, therefore, r pensive to suggestions. to tl piomptir.gs of those normal but d linuuent girls would be unjust ai cruel. Such an arrangement won net only piove hurtful to defect! girls, but would also weaker, t curative treatment given those gii \vn<> are properly reformatory cas? The humantarian is not the on argument for state provisfon for t feeble-minded as can be easily so between the lines of what has go before. Any social malady that tin expression in a continual stream persons to our charities courts, poo houses, and other institutions, is a great economic as well as hum' itarian concern. KIPLING, WASHINGTON, WILSO (William E. Ellis, in Springfield 11 publican.) Has anybody pointed out the extr ordinary applicability of Kipling poem, "If," to the circumstances ai character of President Wilson? It seems not to be generally know thai; this poem was written concer ing George Washington, and that i setting is laid in a period of Amei can history strikingly like unto tl present. In his volume, "Ilewari and Fairies," Kipling has a stoi "Brother Squaretoes,*' of which tl scene is laid in Philadelphia and i which the hero is George Wasliln Ion. Citizen Genet and the partlsai of France are trying to force Was ington to declare war on Englan and the President was visited by u merited criticism for his failure 1 do so. The moral of the inciden Kipling sums up in the poem whi< ends the tale: If you can keep your head when a about you Are losing theirs and blaming on you, If you can trust yourself when n men doubt you. But make allowance for the doubting, too; If you can wait and not be tired 1 waiting Or being lied about, don't deal li08, Or being hated, don't give way hating. And yet don't look too good, m talk too wise; If you can dream and not mai dreams your master; If you can think?and not mal thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph ai Disaster And treat these two imposters ju the same; If you can bear to hear the trul you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trt for fools, Or watch the things you give yo\ life to, broken And stoop and uuild 'em up wit worn-out tools; [f you can make one heap of all yoi winnings And risk it on one turn of pitc! and-toss, And lose, and start again at your b glnnlngs And never breathe a word aboi your loss; I' you can force your heart ar nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after th< are gone, And so hold on when there is not' ing in you Except the will which says them; "Hold On-" ir you ran taiK witn crowns ana ?e< none too much; Or walk with Kings?nor lose tt common touch, If neither foes not loving friends ca hurt you, If all men count with you, b much; If you can fill the unforgiving mil ute With sixty seconds' worth of dl tance run, Yours is Barth and everything that 1n it, And?which is more?you'll be man, my son! Doubtless your renders will be ii terested to note the American settir r>f "If"; and also the remarkab fashion in which its lines apply i present to Wood row Wilson, tl American President likest unl Washington. ?

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they Insist on drugging their stomach or I stuffing It with greasy foods; rubbing I on useless "flesh cream," or following some foolish physical culture 'stunt, while the real cause of thln1 ness goes untouched. You cannot | get fat until your digestive tract [properly nsftimulates the food you eat. Drink a glass of cold water four or tlve times a day and take the fol mwiiig preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere, |which seemingly embodies the missling elements needed by the digestive organs to hep them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called tonoline, and .much remarkable testimony is given las to its successful use In flesh building. Tonoline which comes in the form of a small non-injurious tablet, (taken at meals and mixed with the digestive food, tends to prepare fat. flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept and carry them to the starved portion of the body. You can readily picture the transformation that additional jand previously lacking flesh making material should bring to your cheeks, filling out hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappearing, ann your taking on from 15 to 30 pounds |of solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is harmless, inexpensive, efficient. Your druggist has It and is authorized to refund your money If weight increase Is not obtained as per the guarantee found in each large package. Caution: Tonoline is recommend- s. ed only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in eases . of nervous Indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight ia desired.?Adv.
