rapidly degenerate, until they finally be-
come little better than the wild beasts.
/ They become utterly devoid OF any SEM
blance OF intelligence. The tragedy Of
the matter is that one out OF every 40
people in the world is weak-minded.
From the vast army OF feeble-minded
come many Of the criminals, trampS. and
paupers. who victimlZe society on every
side. Despite their lack OF intelligence
feeble-mInded persons are the most af-
fectionate people in the world. They
must be kept happy at all times or they
lapse into a state Of melancholia and
beast-like stupidity. There are many
feeble-minded persons in the District,
and at present there are practically no
provisions for the care OF them. There
is a small home for such cases at Falls
Church. Va, but il Is small and in
adequate to meet existing conditions.
The present number Of inmates at the
institution is approximately sixty. Many
Of the feebIe-mInded people of the Ma
tional Capital are sent to the institu-
ton at Vineland. n. J. This institution
now has about 800 inmates. One OF the
largest institutions for the feeble
minded in the country is located at FL
win, Pa, where the number Of inmates
is approximately 5000.
There are five atypical schools in the
District. One Of the most interesting
OF these is located at 14O7 ThIrty-third
Street, Georgetown. around the corner
from the Curtis School The schools is
in charge Of Miss Logan, who has he'd
long experience in the handling Of weak
minded children. This school was es-
tablished four years ago. The present
enrolment is fourteen. For time dur
ing the present fiscal year there were
twenty-one in the class.
Girl Cannot Talk.
There is one little girl who entered the
class last September. and who is still
unable to talk. Miss Logan has hope
that speech will come within a short
time. Most OF the year the girl has
been apparently in a protracted stupOr.
but several days ago. during the singing
Of a motion song by the class. IT was
noticed that this little girl was tapping
her arms like wings in imitation Of the
other pupils. This is looked upon as a
sign Of encouragement
The Binet test has been applied to all
the pupils OF the school. and has proved
all Of them to be weak-minded. Miss
Robey tests the pupils Of her ungraded
class by the system at frequent intervals

BRISTOW WILL FIGHT.
Senator Has No Intention of Giving
Up His Primary Bill.

Washington. D. c., March ia
merry little fight in the senate over
the BristoW bill providing for presi-
Dental preference primaries in the
District of Columbia is in prospect,
although the senate district commit
tee took adverse action on it and
recommended that it's consideration be
postponed indefinitely.
Senator Bristow. the sponsor for the
measure has let it be known that he
does not propose to let it die without
q fight, and it is understood he has as
surances from other senators of the
progressive or insurgent type that
they will buckle on armor to wage
battle for the bill.
The vote in the committee indicates
that the insurgent Repu blicans and
progressive Democrats will be lined up
in favor of the bill, while the regu-
lar Republicans and regular Demo-
Gratis will be against 1t. While it ap-
plies only to the District of Columbia
it involves the whole primary ques-
ton which is just now an issue in the
presidential campaign.

The Fat from The Flower

Vegetarians tell US that there is no
kind of animal fat which we cannot re-
place with something as good OF bet
ter in the vegetable kingdom Certainly
in the matter of cooking fats there is
no question Of this fact Lard is made
from the fat of the hog, often unwhole-
some, sometimes impure.
Cottolene, a vegetable-oil shortening,
comes from the snowy boil of the cot
ton plant; it makes food that any stom-
ach can digest CottoIene is as good as
butter. can be bought for about the price
Of lard, and is more economical than
either.

Chairman DOIIey Won Praise
From Regulars.
Vote of Thanks Given Him for
His Fairness.
1T is LEFT TO COUNTIES
Local Committees May Select
Delegates by Primaries.
Judge Thompson Announces
Candidacy for Senator.

The feature of the Republican state
committee meeting which adjourned
last evening was not the war between
the factions but rather the tribute paid
by the victorious regulars to State
Chairman Dolley. 1t is significant
feature, too. 1t shows that the regu-
lars are not so implacable as they have
been advertised in the insugent news
papers. Dolley's fairness and broad
gauge dealing in handling the commit
tee from the chair quickly won the adj
miration of the regulars and they
showed they could practice the samc
kind of politics.
When DR.. L. A. Ryder, of Shawnee
county, concluded his hearty tribute
of praise to Chairman Dolley by call
ing for a standing vote of thanks ev-
cry member of the committee and every
old standpatter holding a proxy jump
ed to his feet in a hurry and bore Wit
ness to his appreciation of fair dealing
at the hands of a progressive.
The regulars ran the steam rolle=
over DolIey within five minutes after
the committee was called to order by
appealing from the decision of the
chair in the matter of proxies. Dolley
graVely announced the result of the
vote against him and proceeded with
the business at hand as though nothing
out of the ordinary had happened.
a convention instead of primary Dol
ley got up and stated his position clear
ly and emphatically in favor of a pri-
mary. He urged caution and fairness
and consideration in settling the mat
ter. He urged the committee to pun
personal feeling under good of party
Then the chairman proceeded to recog-
nize every regular who wanted to take
a swat at the primary. He made his
decisions as fairly and impartially as
though he had never heard of the
Kansas fractional war. 1t was a. great
day for Dolley if he was defeated. And
the action of the regulars in extend
ing the insurgent chief vote of thanks
was their greatest accomplishment Oh
the day.
Ex-Governor Bailey, of Atchison, in
troduced the Taft resolutions in the
committee and he was cheered heartily
when he arose to read them. The reso-
lutions were passed by vote of AZ

Judge William H. Thompson, of Gar
den City, announces for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
as follows:
To the Democrats of Kansas:
Practically all of my life I have been
a Kansan. All the tasks of my life
have been performed in Kansas. My
professional and judicial labors have
brought me an acquaintance so extend
ed l feel that 1 need no introduction to
the people of this state.
Ny friends throughout the state.
without regard to political affiliations.
have urged me to become a candidate
for the United States senate. To Oc-
cupy seat in that highest Legislative
body of the world is an honor so ex-
allied that any man is justified in seek
ing it if his conscience acquits him of
that which makes him unworthy.
During the last 80 years many men
have had place in the senate by the
power of wealth, rather than as the
recognition of worth. No man should
be elected to this high Office who is
now, or who has ever been, identified
in his private or public life with the
monopolistic interests of this country;
or, who has ever favored special priv
lege against the interests of the people
in their fight against predatory cor
porations: or. who has ever in the
least betrayed the people, or violated
single official trust. No one who is not
of the people should be permitted to
represent the people, and that belong
to them my birth and my whole career
proclaim.
Democracy in the state and nation
this wear demands a new deal all
around. The party wants its strongest
candidates for every office, and will not
accept any candidate whose mind and
heart are not in perfect unison with the
people. 1t also wants those who have
been identified with success in official
ant political life
Every page in the book of my long
private and official life in this state IS
open for the freest inspection. Under
the titles of '.Jackrabbit Justice" and
Tricks of the Trade" and in my
speeches, particularly that recently de-
livered in Topeka on Democracy of
Today I have made plain my identity
with the pronounced progressive
thought of the hour, and that in the
progressive Democracy of today lies
the only hope of the people.
If the Democracy of Kansas believe
me to meet the requirements of the
party in principle, and believe my well
known official and political success

1t is now settled that the Kansas del

sionaI and state conventions. No state
wide presidential preference primary
this year. But the Roosevelt men can
not truthfully claim that they were de-
MED by these committees the right to
express their preference for the colonel
at the polls. All the convention calls
contain the clause that any county
that wants to can select delegates by
primary. The local county organiza-

and elect its delegates to the state and
congressional conventions. 1t is OPP

DR.. J. B. Dykes, of Smith county,

gressional committee would meet in
Colby, April 10, to make arrangements
about calling a congressional conven-
ton. The Sixth district committee was
arranged for the convention but only
three members were present and DR..
Dykes did not think that it would be
fair for so small a number to call a
convention. 1t is hoped that a large
attendance will mark the Colby meet

count of delayed train service on all

ONIONS BEST FOR WHOOPiN(,
COUGH.

DR.. W. T. O'Reilly of the New Or
leans city board Of health, received
Tuesday the following prescription
or remedy for whooping cough, sent
him by d. G. Leahy, treasurer of
Knoxville, Tenn, and guaranteed to
cure any case quickly:
Take two large onions and slice
them. one cup Of sugar, one quart
of water, half teacup olive oil, three
cents worth of rock candy. Mix and
boil, and use sufficient water to make
it thin enough, and then strain efter
boiling. In warm weather use suf-
ficient whiskey to keep from souring
Dose: Tablespoonful often as nee
essary, and the child will rest the
first night.
Mr.. Leahy says this remedy has
been in use thirty years, and he is
sure it will. cure practically every
case, and is perfectly harmless. He
states he read in the papers the slate
ment of DR.. O'Reilly to the effect
that there were many cases of whoop-
ing cough and 120 deaths in New
Orleans. Mr.. Leahy says the re-
ceipt he gives will positively elimi-
nate this disease or contagion, and
he sends j. for the benefit of hui
manity.

THE GREAT BIBLE CONTEST Is
DRAWING NEAR.

In two weeks our Bible contest
starts. This revival in Bible study
is being welcomed by all the church
es.
We are glad to have the co-opera-
tion of the churches, the pastors and
Sunday School workers, in this i'm
pcrtant undertaking.
The prizes that are offered are
intrinsically valuable, and the Di-
plcma given to all who complete the
course will confer great honor upon
them; but the greatest prize of all
is the study itself: no words can
overstate its value. All teachers of
boys and girls, say of fifteen years
and over, should urge them to take
up this course. Adult Bible Glass
teachers will find this contest to be
q great stimulus to their work if
they personally get behind it and set
the example. Many pastors call at
tention to the I. p. B. G. c. from
the pulpit and urge their people to
join and participate In its benefits.
We have no doubt that the pastors
of Covington will not be one whit
behind those of other towns. We
have reason to believe that parents
are encouraging their grown up chill
dren to take this course and we
urge upon all parents to follow the
good example.
The st. Tammany Farmer is nee
essary for these studies, so order it
for yourself, or friend, by using
the coupon on the first page, under
the l6oo0n.
