The report of the board of trustees
of the institute for the feeble minded
at Grafton for the biennial period
contains a number of recommends
tons, the most prominent probably
being a second appeal for legisla-
ton preventing the marriage of men,
tai detectives. The report says:
Coming in monthly contact and
at our board meetings, with these
people and thus being afforded an
opportunity for observation and
study, which are not had by other
members of society differently stu
ated, the necessity for legislation of
this character appeals to US with Pc
culiar force"
Attention is also called to the fact
that during the period covered by the
report the number of inmates has
grown until it is impossible on &C.
county of room to accommodate any
more patients. The maximum has
been placed at 165 and applications
for admission are now being filed in
the order of their receipt, and such
applicants names are placed on a
waiting list" and they are received
only when room is. made for them
through the death or withdrawal of
inmates. Even with the increased
facilities given by the completion of
tho hospital building the institution
has not been able to care for all.
Application is again made this year
for an appropriation to be used for
the erection of a silo, the board of
trustees having ascertained through
and investigation that
the use 0fensilage works for economy
in the production of milk.
Other requests are for the erection
of a new fire proof custodial building,
large enough to accommodate 100 in
mates. besides rooms for matrons,
and help, the installation
Of new boiler and the extension of
the electric .ght and power light to
the farm buildings; the enlargement |
Of the laundry building so as to in
crease its size one-half; doubling the !
size of the barn; sinking a two-inch !
artesian we'll; the erection|of a new !
farm dwelling, and improvements to :
me grounds in the way of grading, !
sidewalks, trees and shrubbery. An !
of about $150,000 is
asked in the report for maintenance
md improvement, but it is under
stood that the appropriation bill will
not carry that large a request be-
cause of the existing financial con-
lition of the state.
In the statistics included in the re.
port it is shown that during the per-
cd los new patients were admitted, !
he school and custodial places being
bout equally divided. Twenty-eight
Eases have been discharged, three of
hese eloped, one was transferred to
he hospital at jamestown, and twen-
y-four cases have been removed by
elatives. There have been twenty

Both houses of the legislature will
ballot in separate sessions today for two
United States senator's, one for the full
term and the other for the short term
to fill out the unexpired term of the
late Senator Johnson. The republicans
will elect Senator McCumber and Con-
gresham Gronna for the long and short
term respectively. The democrats will
vote for the Hon. John Bruegger for
the long term and Senator w. E. Pur-
cell for the short term. The nominal
ing speeches will probably be brief and
the formality of the senatorial election
will soon be ended. Wednesday the
house will meet in joint session at noon
and formally ratify the election and
verify the records.

DEADLOCK MAY
Be RESULT IN
MASSACHUSETTS
iBy Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Jan. l6.-United
States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was
nominated by reclamation at the repub-
lican caucus today for a fourth term
by rs out of l53 republican members
OF the legislature, or IL less than a
majority of the house and senate on a
joint ballot. As the absentees were
nearly all from the house, it is anitici-
pated that the majority of the senate
votes vii lbe cast for Lodge tomorrow
but that the house will be deadlocked.
Whether this deadlock will continue to
the joint convention Wednesday noon
was matter of conjecture tonight. 1t
was asserted in some quarters that
should Lodge be returned he will have
to receive some democratic support.
Sherman L. Whipple of Brooklyn, a
prominent member of the Suffolk bar,
who has never held office. but has ap-
peared frequently on the democratic
stump, was selected by the democrats
at their caucus as Lodges opponent.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Senator-elect
Gronna stated today that he would
take his seat in the senate about
Feb. l. Senator Purcell will contine
in the senate until that body is Off
cially notified of the election of his
successor.
II would like to have Mr.. Purcell
continue until March g." said Mr..
Gronna, 'but l find that impossible
under the law"
Gronna today offered an amend
ment to the reclamation act, whereby
certain settlers will have fifteen years
instead of ten to make payment for
their lands. This amendment is cal
culated to come to the relief of hum
dreds of settlers on the Buford, Tren-
ton and Williston irrigation projects.
The amendment will be laid before the
irrigation committee Friday and is
amendatory of the recently passed
by the senate for the relief of settlers.

Now that the passage of an anti-pass
bill seems assured, good many people
are beginning to see that the railroad
pass has been source of good, as we'll
as 1t may i'll some remote cases have
been source of evil. For example.
ill., farmers institutes through the state
are made successful and assisted greatly
by the fact that the railroad transporta-
ton is supplied the instructors and
others participating. The railroads give
this transportation i'll the interests of
the state generally and in their own in
terest, for what benefits the state and
its farmers benefits the railroads. The
farmer who used to get practically free
transportation to and from the agricul-
tural college was benefited thereby, and
SO was the state The teachers who are
concerned with general educational
work, the ministers who are concerned
with humane and charitable work, and
many other persons in humane, educa-
tional. charitable and similar work find
benefit to the whole people in the pos
session of free transportation. And
this transportation is given not out of
the hope of any reward to the railroad
companies, but for the common good.
1t is gratifying in these times of gen.
eral condemnation of passes to know
that i'll many instances the pass is not
all unmixed evil, and that good citizens
and leading public men favor their is
suance in many cases Of course, where
the pass threatens the public welfare
ii: legislation or in official life, it ought
to be abolished. there is no q.estion
about that But in how many cases
does it have this effect? We shall have
an ail;i-pass law, because the people
want it, and what they want they are
entitled to. But if the legislature needs
tie requests of many classes of citizens,
we shall have good many exceptions.
We think ourselves that the railroads
are in business on business basis. and
should charge for what service they give
md pay for what service they get. or
,uci, a basis, there would be few if any

Speaking of the general business stu
alton, Henry Clews' weekly flnancia
review says:
The most serious interference will
activity on the stock exchange is the I'M
certainty attending the Oil and Tobacco
cases and the railroad rate question
No general resumption Of activity can
be expected until these important prob
lens have been finally adjusted If the
decisions prove unfavorable the market
may not show any serious reaction, for
~-1r<ease II parties concerned are TN
doubtedly prepared to adjust themselves
as far as possible to the worst. In any
event. it is recognized that the produc-
ton, distribution and consumption of
oil and tobacco will 60 on practically
as before, the changes in organization
not being likely to cause any cessation
of demand or any serious diminution
of profits. There is moreover some be-
lief that the railroads will secure mod
crate concessions in certain instances.
No doubt the railroads are making their
case as strong as possible; for they have
entered period of business reaction,
facing heavy increases in operating ex-
penses, and imperative demands for in
creased facilities. The rate question is
complicated one, because in some Sec
tions of the county rates are unques-
tionably cxorbitantly high, while in 9th
ers they arc reasonably low and some
roads are much better able to keep up
under existing conditions than others.
The load comes heaviest upon such conf
panies as are still laboring under the
excessive fixed charged imposed by the
INSCRIPTIONS financing of previous gen.
erations. Dealing justice to the rail-
roads is problem that calls for the
highest order of talent; and it should
not be forgotten that if $500, 900 900 or
more are to be taken from shippers
to compensate railroads it is still a
proper question for the government to
ask, what will be the effect of such an
increase upon shippers and consumers,
who finally pay the bills:

Often the most unhappy people are
those who have lost the art of admira-

faultfinding. Beauty is everywhere,

flaws somewhere below it. Faultfind-

glasses upon themselves and there dis
cover why they are not loved.

Our Farmers Discovered

Every month some country III
Europe produces 1its columbus,
who thrills the Old World by DIS
covering America. The latest OF
the discoverers publishes his am.
azing news in the Paris Figaro.
In consequence, France may no
longer plead ignorance OF the
American farmer. Amazement
radlates through every line O. the
article in which the discovery calls
the attention of his country to the
hitherto unsupported existence and
Prosperity of that sublime pheno-
menon, the sturdy agriculturlst IN

other tidings before he sailed from

denoa, SO the new Columbus de-
rived an authentic hint about the
Hourishing of the American far
mer from the latest report of orr
venerable secretary of Agricul-
ture.
That alluring vol ume opened
the Frenchnaan's eyes to a new
wonder. "Forty-four thousand
millions OF francs for one yearr'
re exclaims in speaking OF the an
nual crops. and three hundred
and fifty thousand million francs
IN the last eleven years' he shouts
as one who chooses the housetops
IRON which to tell his news. Then
his logical faculty gets to work.
Such crops imply the husbandry
OF industrious farmers. Europe has
heard of all kinds of Americans.
but never before suspected that
the American farmer stood all the
time in the background as the ori-
glnal source Of the fabulous wealth
and industrial and commercial
greatness OF his country. He is a
miracle worker, one of the worlds
mos tpotent forces, yet he has
been overlooked by evry previous
Columbus who sailed from Europe
on voyage Of adventure in the
West.
This is how the French writer
expresses it: Behind the crops,
which everybody speaks, stands
the American farmer, whom no.
body mentions. About him there
IS not a word in descriptions of
travel by foreign visitors to the
United States. Has this cultiva-
tor of the American soil ever been
seen on the Rue de la Paix? Does
he mingle, like so many others, Of
his compatriots, in the society c.
international milliqnaires? This
son on the soil does not seem to
have any place in the enterprises
which are looked upon as charac-
teristically American"
Yes, the American farmer fre-
quents the Rue de la Paix, prob
ably as the escort of his wife and
daughter. He mingles with inter
national millionaires as the father,
grandfather or father-in-law of the
great financiers and captains o!
industry in every line of national
endeavor. He is the backbone oi
his country and the principal pro-
ducer of it's matchless economical
wealth. 1t has not taken the
American farmer so long to dis
cover Europe as it has taken Eu.
rope to discover the American
farmer.-Philadelphia Press.
