REPUBLICAN CHANCES

Joseph =. Healing of Indiana, who
Is taking an active part in the Taft
campaign, outlines a few reasons why
he believes the president will be re-
elected in November. He says:
Farmers Of today are receiving
more for their crops and for their
live stock than they ever received
before. and they are not going to vote
against the republican party,
Business men are doing more bust
ness, with a greater return, than ev-
er before in their experience, and
they are not going to vote against
the republican party.
Labor is receiving higher wages
and has more work awaiting the ap.
plication Of its hands and tools than
ever before in this country, and /.
cannot vote against the republican
party.
Men and women in every walk OF
life are earning more money than ev
er before. and they are not going tc
vote against the republican party.

With the cereal record for 1912
breaking all former ones the farmer
is not going 10 take any unnecessary
risk by changing the political condi-
tons. The price for cereals was
never better and with the abounding
prosperity now extant and the certain
continuation under republican admin

1898.
"Since August of this year we have
been in the greatest industrial depres-
sion this country has ever expert.
enced. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that more than 100000 of our fellow
toilers throughout the country are
without employment and have been
so since the time named. This lam
entable industrial condition is attrib-
uted by many to various causes, and
it seems to me that the accurate
statement of them here Is both requi-
site and appropriate. so that we may
be better enabled to so frame our
legislation that it may tend to a prop
er solution of the problem depend
ent upon the wage-workers for solu-
ton Never in the history of the
world has so large q number of peo-
pie vainly sought for an opportunity
to earn a livelihood and contribute to
the support OF their fellows"
1897.
THAT terrible period for wage-earn-
ers of this country, which began IN
1893 and which has left behind it
such record of horror, hunger and
misery, practically ended with the
dawn of the year of 1897. Wages had
been steadily forced down from 1898
till toward the end OF 1895, and it
was variously estimated that between
lion wage-earners were unemployed.
1t is agreed by all that the wage-earn
ers are the principal consumers of
American products, and it necessar-
lily follows that reduction in wages
involves a dininuticn in the power Of
consumption. and consequently pro-
portionate decrease in production,
and, naturally, also II the force of la
Dor required for the production. A re-
duction of wages, therefore, results
in an increase in the army of the I'M
employed, and any circumstances or
combination of circumstances that
will check reductions in wages, and
hence the diminution OF consumption
by the masses, is humane act, bas-
ed on the soundest laws of economics
and of progress"
1899.
''The revival of industry which we
have witnessed within the past year
Is one for general congratulation, and
it should be our purpose to endeayor
to prolong the era of more general
employment and industrial activity.
In this effort no power is so potent
as organized labor, If we but follow
right and practical course. 1t is be
yond question that the wages of the
organized workers have been in
creased, and in many instances the
hours of labor either reduced or at
| least maintained"

eight deaf children appeared under the di-
rection of Miss Anna G. Reinhardt, who
demonstrated their mental development
and their powers Of speaking orally. They
had all been taught by the method which
eliminates the sign language and which
educates the child by the s. Jken word
direct in the same manner hearing
children are instructed. Speech had been
developed in all these children by sigh,
and touch alone. They understood the
speech OF their teacher and of visitors
by watching the movements Of the speak
efs' lips.
The basis Of comparison between these
children and the children from the pub
lie school was in the knowledge of the
English language possessed by each Miss
Mary Campbell. the psychologist in
charge Of the symposium, said at the con-
clusion of the meeting that considering
their handicap the deaf children meas
ured up to the attainments of the we'll
trained normal children.
Test of Twins.
Twin testing was a feature of the SYM
postum also. The twins examined Were
Eleanor and Ruth Smith. the daughters
Of Mr.. and Mrs. F.. Arnett Smith of 41S
5th street northeast, and Emily and Irene
Russell, daughters of Col. and Mrs. +.
Reeves Russell! of 1916 18th street north
west. Col. Russell is an officer of the
United States Marine Corps. Both sets
Of twins were nine years old.
Physically the Smith girls We're shown
to be almost the same, even to the
quality of their blood. Their weight diff
fered but three-quarters of pound; f;
their height. only three-fourths of an
inch; their arm stretch, one-tenth of an
inch, while their chest development and
gripping strength We're exactly the same.
The little shade of physical advantage
was in EleanorS favor. Mentally also
the twins We're exact duplicates one of
the other, both being two and one-half
usually found in children OF their age.
Temperamentally. however. there was
considerable difference. Ruth being of
domestic instincts and fond of study,
while her sister has marked musical abil-
ity and possesses motherly instincts.
Show Marked Dissimilarity.
On the other hand. there was a marked
dissimilarity between the Russell twins
In almost every particular Irene weigher
fourteen pounds more than her sister and
stood three inches taller. but was of
exactly the normal mental capacity;
while the smaller girls mental capacity
was that of an eleven-year-old child.
According to Miss Campbell and Dr.
Gardner c. Basset of the Johns Hopkins
psychological laboratory, who conducted
the tests. this tends to show that one girl
has grown physically at the expense of
her mental development while the
strength of the other girl has been de-
voted most largely to the increase of her
brain powers.
