VINELAND, N. j., July Is
John West, SO, is an idiot-which
means that he has the mind of a
child. Mentally he is about eight
years old.
Twenty-Five years ago John
West was taken into the New Jer-
sey home for the feeble-minded,
one of the most noted institu-
lions of it's sort. Edward r.
tombstone, the superintendent of
the institution, says:
John West is a type of what
we are trying to do with the
feeble-minded. We have succeed
ed in making the best of his
eight-year-old brain. Under his
special care are two boys, both
nine years old. One is an idiot
with the brain of a two-year-old
and the other has the mind of a
four-year-old child. John loves
these two boys. He bathes them
and dresses them every morning,
before he goes out in the field to
work.
There are 100000 feeble
minded persons running at large
in the United States, outside of in
situations, says tombstone.
"Idiocy is matter of hered-
ity," he says. I'VE have traced
up many cases and have zuncov-
cred some terrible proofs. Most
of our efforts are being directed
toward preventing idiocy.
"Over 100 years ago a young
man of a proud family, with a
huge family tree, wronged a
eeble-minded girl in an eastern
yillage. Then he went his way,

Dear Miss Grey: What can !
do to get rid of ants that destroy
shrubs, rosebushes and other
plants?-Constant Header.
A.: First. trace them to their
nests. Then press a long sharp
stick into the nest, remove quick
ly and pour two ounces of disul-
phide of carbon into the hole.
Press ground into the hole with
the foot. Repeat this several
times for each nest and the fumes
will penetrate to every part of
the nest and destroy the ants.
Use precautions not to breathe the
fumes, and do not have a light or
fire of any kind nearby. Kero-
sene is also good Il the disulphide
is not at hand, but is not so effec-
tive.

President Taft Hedging.

II the report that comes from
Washington that President Tart
wants as his running mate next year
Senator Cummins instead Of Vice
President Sherman is true 1t Is evil
dent that the: President is srying. to
hedge on his tariff record. We agree
with the ,Greenville Daily, Piedmont
that "Taft and Cummins would be
an incongenous combination. While
both are Republicans, their views on
many questions are diametrically an
tiaphetic. In the first place, Cum
Minis, who Is going west, will proba-
bly, object to being yoked up with
Taft, who is bent upon going east.
II Cummins should stutiGy himself
by being candidate with Taft upon
platform built to meet Tast's views,
he would make himself y by-word
and ruin his own political future.
Cummins is Progressive. Taft
may have at heart sympathy with
Progressive ideas but his actions
and men must be judged by their
actions-have put big rocks in the
way of accomplishment of those
things in national politics for which
Cummins is actively worked. Oil and
water will make better mixture
than Taft and Cummins OF the same
ticket, unless Taft is going to break
loose from the reactionaries or stand
patters who have had the benefit OF
his official actions however little his
sympathies may have been with them.
Sherman is the natural and proper
running mate for Taft, as he Is open
ly and candidly,' frankly and avow-
edly in favor Of the highest kind OF
high tariff, and that Is what Taft IA
vors, if he be judged by. his official
conduct and not by his Tords.
"And even his words condemn
him, for in his speeches he has en-
dorsed the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
which was enacted In repudiation Of
the platform pledge OF the Republi-
cans, in the campaign resulting in
Taft's election in favor OF a down.
ward revision of the tariff. The talk
Of putting Cummins on tue platform
with Taft is like the grasping at
straws by a drowning man. His
nomination, instead of helping Taft,
would tend to defeat him, because it
would be a confession Of the tariff
shortcomings Of his administration
without the honesty Of an open avow-
al thereof. The fight of 1912 will be
waged upon the tariff issue and there
will be way of ducking or lodging" I"

Where Is the Proof.

Prof. w. E. Dodd, Of Chicago I'm
iyersity, says "all over the South the
Southern Railway threatens, busters
and domineers; and small congress-
men tremble before its president and
it's great lawyers in a manner posi-
lively shameful to Southern man
hood"
This is news to most of us who
live on the line Of this great railway
system. If the Southern Railway
threatens, busters and dominaers, "
as Prof. Dodd says it does, it must
do it very quietly as we have never
heard of it before. Nor have we
ever heard of "small congressman
trembling before it's president and
it's great lawyers in a manner posi-
lively shameful to- Southern man
hood" If DR.. Dodd knows these
things he should give us the proof.
The President of the Southern Rail
way is a Southern gentleman, and
so are most of the gentlemen asso-
ciatad with him in the management
of this great Southern Railway.
While we have never heard OF the
Southern Railway doing the mean
things Prof. Dodd says it Is doing
we have heard Of its spending thous-
angs of dollars helping the farmers
along it's lines to fight the cotton boil
weevil and in other ways better their
condition. We have heard of 1t
spending thousands of dollars IN ad-
vertising South Carolina ane other
Southern States trying to Induce
white settlers to come to US from
the West. According to our o5seTVa-
ton the Southern Railway never
loses an opportunity to do what 1t
can to better the condition OF the
people living in the territory through
which it runs.
Prof. Dodd in his Chicag' home
may know more about the doings OF
the Southern Railway than those OF
us who live on it's line, but we DO
not believe he does, and when ne
saws it threatens, blusters and DOM
ineers and that small congressman
trembie before dts president and
great lawyers in a manner shameful
to Southern manhood" we will be
compelled to believe that the profes-
sor is talking through his hat unless
he substantiates his charGo with
something more than hot air.
The Bamberg Herald endorses
what Prof. Dodd says, and possibly
it can tell US the name OF the small
congressman that trembles before
the Southerns president AID great
lawyers, and when and how the
Southern Railway threatens, blus-
ters and .domineers, Railroads should
ge regulated and made to- respect tie
rights of the people from whom they
hold their. charters, but. there is no
sense in abusing them as snme poll
ticdans do. Railroads prospers as
the people whom they serve pros
Der, and it would be suicidal In the
railroads to impoveTish the people
that supports them.
