s To Help the Feeble, Minded. 5

On Monday afternoon about twenty
ladies met at Mrs. @. L.. Stewards and
organized an auxiliary for the Mary
land Asylum and Training School for
the Feeble Minded, which il located
at Owings Mills. They will hereafter
hold quarterly meetings. The annual
dues are one dollar. So s-.----.
The institution, which this organ
ization is seeking to aid, carries on,
not only a most commendable work,
from a charitable point of. view, but
a most important one, if the mental
and physical vigor OF our race is to
be considered. These poor tnfortu-
mates should not be allowed to mingle
with the public, nor should The males
and females be permitted to associate,
for it is by such seclusion only, that
the transmission of their taint can be
prevented. The resources OF the in
stitution are limited, and 1t is by the
help it receives through such associ-
ations as Mrs. Stewart has inaugu-
rated here, that it is enabled to take
care Of as many inmates as 1T does.
The officers elected are Mrs. John
J.. Reifsnider, president; Mrs. =. O.
Grimes, vice president; Mrs. John IT,
Reifsnider. Jr., recording secretary !;
Mrs. VIM. B. Thomas, treasurer.
Board of amuSementS-Mrs. ChaS.
T.. Stewart, Mrs. John I'll. Cunningham,
Mrs. Guy w. Steele, Mrs. William III.
Thomas and Mrs. Allen T. Bacon.
The object of these ladies will be to
raise fifty dollars year, and IL will
be the duty of the Board OF Amuse-
ments, to suggest the means through
which this can be accomplished. III
they succeed in getting more. the sur
plus will be given to the Lend Hand
Club of Westminster. s

POPULATION AND POLITICAL
POWER.

"The state Of Kansas says the
Springfield, M ass, Republican,
showed a population increase Of only
per cent between 1890 and 1900.
During the same time Iowa gained
1877 per cent, Missouri 16 and Indiana
Is. Now for the past decade Kansas
shows an increase of Is per cent,
while Iowa reports an actual decline,
md Missouri and Indiana come down
10 an increase respectively of only 6
and rs per cent.
"It is apparent from these figures
that the movement Of farm population
from older and more expensive to
newer and less expensive lands origin
ates largely just east and west
Of the Mississippi river and
begins to find Judgment no fur
Their west than central and
western Kansas. The emigration
moves on from there to the far north
west, and the far southwest, but in
reduced volume. Lands attractively
cheap as compared with the old cen
trail western states begin to be found
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1910-11-29

very soon after leaving the Missouri
river behind and the movement thence
spreads out in shallower stream to
more distant points. Westward the
course of empire still takes it's way,
but with this difference: That formerly
the wave of internal migration started
in the eastern states and flowed over
the central western and valley terri
tory; while now 1t starts from the lat
/ ter states for further western reaches,
with some backset to the eastern farm
lands made cheap by the earlier aban-
donment. 1t is most interesting de-
velopment of the past decade and will
become subject of closer study when
the census results aresall known.
We have heard much recently about
the passing of the weight of political
power in the nation from the north
eastern to the central and valley
states. But the present census is likely
TO disturb somewhat calculations on
this point which were projected from
1.-THE population figures Of the past two
or three census years. It is announced
that the present population of Kansas
will entitle the state to one more con-
gresham. 1t would if the ratio of ap-
portionment were to remain the same
as 1t is now. But it is not likely to re-
main the same. 1t will have to be ma
terially increased if the house mem
bership is to be kept within wieldy
limits, and that will doubtless be done.
II 1t is, Kansas will not gain another
congressman; Iowa would lose one or
two, Missouri probably one, Indiana
one and so on through that states Of
that region. On the other hand, while
the northern New England states
might lose one each, the southern New
England states would probably gain as
many, and New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania would probably gain.
The. relative political power OF. the
central west would Be less than it hay
been for, ten or twenty years II nast,
while that Of the far swestern and Pa
cif1c states would gain materially and
that OF the eastern states would at
least remain the same as against all
the rest of the country. There is likely
to be a prolonged contest oveA the
coming congressional appoftion-
ment.''
