MENTAL HYGIENE.

The sphere OF the up-to-date. mod.
ern physician has been so enlarged
that he Is almost daily called upon to
decide upon matters that were not
thought OF or included within the
scope OF his profession in the last
generation. Public hygiene and health
Is attracting his attention and services
more and more in these progressive
days. and advancement In the science
OF sanitation. A further responsible
ty that has been placed upon physi-
clans Is brought out in an article on
Mental Deficiency In a recent issue of
the Publis Health Reports. which
deals with certain public health as
poets OF mental deficiency with refer
ence to this condition among school
children II is pointed out that while
school children and others may be sus-
pected of being mentally defective. II
will fall to the lot OF the physician to
make the final decision which will
classify these persons as feeble mind.

tons. will largely depend on the
Judgment Of the medical examiner.
Increasing attention is being paid
to the question OF mental capacity
among school children in relation to
school work. When a child is found
to be backward in school there will
usually be found some cause for his
lack OF progress. and in determining
the cause IL is necessary to INQUIRE
thoroughly into his physical and men
tai condition. BY this means Il may
often be possible to institute correc-
tive and preventive measures which

mindedness and enable the backward
child to reason and TO care for him.
self. Reasoning power in the normal
person enables him to meet new situ-
atoms and solve new problems. And
II Is this ability to reason and to meet
the various problems of life as they
arise which distinguishes the normal
from the defective mind. The new
physician must be able to estimate
the varying degrees OF detection in
order TO advise hygienic measures that
VIII contribute to their reduction.

THE TIE COMMISSION.

The Huntington Herald Dispatch be
lieves that the trouble with the dead
locked Public Service Commission
does not lie so much with its even d.
vision OF membership as that the per.
sonnet of the Commission is faulty
and suggests it is time ito teach the
body in question that IL must get
right and get together. or else make
room for a body that can get right
and get together" That is an alb.
straet remedy. and an indefinite cure
of the present situation. An even
number commission is a preposterous
proposition. az the results, or non-re-
suits OF the Public Service body has
clearly demonstrated.
The Herald Dispatch objects to the
increase of the Commission TO five on
account OF the additional expense 10
the State. and a reduction to three be.
cause the "heaping of additional work
on the remaining members would i'm.
pair the service" The latter situation

commissioner to take charge OF that

the expense to the state over the
present charges. Besides. It would

more time to devote to matters within
Its proper functions. and for which II
was originally created. AS II Is. the
Commission has too much work to 10

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
FOR WEST VIRGINIANS

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Dec. Mrs.
Pethick Lawrence. who appeared be-
fore the women OF the Congressional
Union in this city. during the past
week. will go to Wheeling where she
will deliver a lecture on December s.
Mrs. Lawrence made a very favorable
impression on the women OF the Capt
tai and her talks were very inter-
esting and instructive. While both
Mrs. Lawrence and her husband have
taken an active part in the militant
campaign in England. Mrs. Lawrence
is said TO have remarked here. that
even the most hardened anti suffra-
gist need have no fear for his win
dows on their present visit. for the
English stonethrowers would not
think OF urging Americans to adop.
their methods. Militant methods
are not needed in America" said Mrs.
Lawrence. The men OF the United
States are more liberal than the men
of England; this is demonstrated by
the fact that a number of your states
have already granted suffrage.
Solicitor John w. Davis has taken
novel action regarding the western
railway case involving 100000 acres
OF land in Oregon estimated TO be
worth at least $4,000. 900.
Mr.. Davis moved Friday in the SUI
preme Court to have sent up for re-
view the entire record in the govern
ments case against the Oregon and
s>--~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
supposed to be in part payment for
Mr.. Wyrell's faithful services as pri-
vate secretary to the head of the
State Department. and as consolation
to a defeated Democratic candidate
for Congress from New York State.
Secretary Bryan has always been a
stickler for reform and for strict OBJ
servance of Official proprieties-that
is, before he took high ofice-but the
funny part about this appointment is,
there is no such ONCE as counsel for
the International Joint Commission,
and no salary OF $1,000 provided by
Congress for such an official. AS the
correspondent points out, an Office un-
der government can only be Gre

ton gives to Congress the exclusive
power ito make all laws which shall
be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers
and all other powers vested by this
constitution in the government of the
United States or in any department or
officer thereof" The constitution fur
Their provides that mo money shall be
drawn from the Treasury but in con
sequence OF appropriations made by
law"
There can be no other conclusion
than that Secretary Bryan has DELHI
erately set aside the constitution by
appointing a favorite to an office that
does not exist. and for which he is TO
receive a salary from an appropria.
ton that has not been made BY Con
gress. The auditing officials will have
a nice time giving an o. k. to such an
oficials salary warrant. and we pre-
sumo that some OF Mr.. Bryan's
friends" in Congress will be inauisi.
tive about his action in this matter.

There are few counties suitable for
the production Of cattle. The con-
ditions are not favorable in many
states, which makes the Geld better
for those who are In Tie business,
and they should not b slow to take
advantage Of the opportunities.
Prices viii without question continue
to advance, for some time ct least,
as the demand win continue to in
crease faster than the supply.
The ranges Of New MEXICO should
be well stocked. The state is an ideal
place for growing cattle, and con-
ditions viii not always remain as
they are. Settlers win be coming in
in great numbers during the next few
years, and the demand for lands will
make them too valuable for ranges,
and they will be cut up into farms.
In the meantime there will be several
years in which the cattle business
will be good, and II offers q prof.
