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. That Mr.
McCormick comes from a state hopeiA

man perhaps in the democratic or- '
ganization.
Another democrat whose name is (
connected with the presidential nom- '
ination in 1920 Is Secretary Newton 1
D. Baker, of the war department. r
The splendid democratic victory in 1
Ohio, his state, where he spoke and *
where he labored for the success of r
the Wilson campaign, is responsible j
for this popular interest in Mr. Ba- '
ker and for the connection of his 1
name with the gossip that looks s
ahead to the next great battle of the '
parties. 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. Mr. Bryan is always a suspi-.11
cious character in this connection. ir
However, Mr. Bryan is very prob-!
ally sincere in his declaration that '
he has no aspiration in that direc-'
tion. Mr. Bryan will never be presl-a
dent, perhaps, but his place in Ameri- |n
can history is assured, greater than v
the great majority of those who have,
held that high ollice.

EE LANCASTER NEWS TI
THE FKKIILE-M1NOKD HOME.
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

elements needed by the digestive
organs to hep them convert food
into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation
is called tonoline, and

Tonoline which comes in the
form of a small non-injurious tablet,

digestive food, tends to prepare fat.
