A Critical Week.

That this will be critical week in
the Taft Roosevelt contest is evident
to political observers. BY Saturday
night 40 additional delegates will have
been chosen, and they will represent
states in the East the middle West and
the Rocky mountain region. The re
suits in New York and Indiana mean
good deal, for these states not only
send large delegations, but also they
are as doubtful in presidential elections
as any in the North and West. The
situation in Illinois is suddenly changed
by Gov. Deneen's act in calling a spe
eial session OF the legislature to pass
presidential preference primary law.
President Taft continues to show
strength where it had not been eX-
pected, as in Colorado and in the dis
trct conventions of such states as Iowa
and Michigan. On the other hand, Mr..
Roosevelt is proving stronger in Indiana
than was anticipated. On the whole,
the present prospect is that the presi
dent will finish the week with heavier
gain than his opponent.-Springheld

The Problem Of the Feeble. Minded.

Feeble minded persons are those who
| lack ONE or more mental traits that
are socially important. All defective
ness is persistence Of an infantile
condition; a failure of development of
certain socially important traits. Put
ting aside the old legal definition of u
predetermined person--that he was a
person who could not count or number
twenty pence, or could not tell who was
his father or mother, reble- mindeiness
as ordinarily understood consists in an
aggregation of the defective traits that
are socially important, and that it eX-
lists in all degrees. Any of the defects
may occur alone, or two or more OF
them may be found together in one in.
dividual and such effectiveness is often
not recognized as such, but it is the
multi-defectiveness who constitute the
main problem of the feeble minded, or
those who are socially inadequate.
Among the well-known defects possessed
by many individuals are world blindness,
figure blindness, color blindness. etc, or
number effectiveness, attention-defec-
tyeness, memory defectiveness, emotion.
effectiveness, ral-defectiveness, aud
these defects are in general hereditary,
and are the result of corresponding de.
fects in the germ plasm OF the parents.
ii both parents be mental detectives,
the combination of the germ cells will
almost certainly result in feeble-mind-
ed child. This interesting and most inn
portant subject is discussed editorially
by The Journal of the American Medical
Association, which comments on recent
article by Dr. Charles B. Davenport in
IL
In prehistoric times, these detectives
we're controlled by the elimination of
those incapable of meeting the ever
increasing complexities of civilization
Death from cold and hunger of those
who had not acquired the trait of hoard
ing supplies, or by violence, of those
who did not respect the property rights
of others, eliminated many. To-day we
have reversed this process of elimination
Of the unfit animal strains. We protect
in institutions scions of weak stocks ny,
to the period of reproduction and then
set the individuals free, with the result
of producing large numbers of feeble
minded, who in turn are carefully nur-
tured up to the reproductive period are
again set free to reproduce, and so the
stupid work goes on of preserving and
increasing our socially unfit strains
Some way must be devised to eliminate
these defective family lines, or they will
prove disastrous to society. The eugen
lists have recognized this defect in our
humanitarian methods, and are already
endeavoring to reconcile or conform those
methods to the requirements of eugen-
les, which seeks to eliminate the feeble |
minded and defective by the propagation I
