cts not feeble-mindednes which
puts thousands of girls on the street
every year and makes diseased, I'M
sexed creatures of them. It's neces-
sity forced by starvation wages paid
in the department stores, factories
and clothing houses of this city.
Let the eminent DR.. Hickson him
self feel the touch of hunger and see
the wall of starvation looming up be-
fore him. If he were to yield to the
first instinct, self preservation, and
break the law, would he consider him
self feeble ?minded" because he
could not keep up in the race for ex-
istence? -.-.. 3.
He fntimated it is because the girls
are feebleminded that the fall in the
fight for food and become prostitutes.
Let him visit a department store
some morning before 8 o'clock and
see hundreds of girls with wan faces
and worn clothes who wait, herded
like cattle. They are without jobs
and often facing starvation. Are they
feebleminded if they go out on the
streets rather than starve?
The result. from Hickson's tests
depends upon the education of the
person subjected and not upon the

streets are usually feebleminded, hop

HIcKsoN is RAPED FOR HIS
OPINIONS ON VICE

Dr. VIM. j. Hickson, who recently
received some undesirable publicity
when the tests" used in his "psy-
biological laboratory were published
for the first time, talked again yes
terday. This time he called the wom-
en- of the street Predetermined and
attributed vice to abnormal girls.
Amid the storm of protest which
followed the publishing of a story
about his talk, given in Springfield be-
fore a Sunday school, that of George
Emmicke, veteran city prosecutor,
stands out. He says that Hickson is
away off,
I have been prosecuting the girls
of the street for the last twenty
years., declared Emmicke. "They
are most often girls who are above
the normal standard, not in the
height of their education, but in the
excellent use of what they have.
"The girls of the street do not be-
come the diseased creatures they are
because they are feeble-minded, but
because they want food for their
stomachs and clothing for their
backs.
Hickson's talk, according to dis
patches from Springfield, ran as fol-
lows: "
1.-THE women of the streets have
the same instincts of self-preseva-
ton as others. They must eat and
sleep, have clothing and shelter, but
on account of their eeble-mindedness
have not the same insight and re-
sponsibility that normais nave"
This statement rolled Emmicke.
'Hickson says that on account of
their feeble-mindednes they haven't
the same insight and responsibility
that normals have. A girl works ten
hours a day on the floor of State
street department store for So, $3.50
or SIS a week. Whe nthe little pay
envelope comes she finds out there |
is not enough to pay the rent with.

Why System" Gets Results.

ga mode of operation governed by
general laws or rule, as to have system In
ones business The man who has system
in his work is never hurried, yet he may
be driving things with rush that would
smash the whole machine if 'system' were
nit part of its very being.
Systematizing one's work means planning
ahead and being for each new move. The
farmer that says he can't plan ahead has yet
to learn the very fundalentals Of his business.
he says, "It may rain, or snow," or the
wind may blow 'sThe weather may be
too hot or too cold.' On! there are a
thousand reason why on unsystematic man
will not adopt system. He comes out in
the morning and changes his mind half
dozen times before he gtes the men and
teams strung out at their work. He gets a
job half done before actually decides just
what he will do with # when he has it fin
ished. He starts t9 repair the tools en- the
day they are TO be used. He sends for his
seed corn the day before he finally expects
to plant it. He feeds his cows corn stover
because he didn't order the silo IN time.
He hauls water for the stock because he
let it freeze Up before he got broken pipe
looked after. This kind of a farmer thinks
of all the things that have to Be done, but
the trouble is he Things of them afterwards
rather than in time to plan their execution:
He actually has to work harder and accom-
plish less than would be necessary if ne
could let his thinking catch up and run a
little ahead of his work. The man who
can see weeks, months, year ahead and
have outlined in his mind the general plan
to which the whole years work must ace
commodate itself is the IMAM who makes
his work count. :, s'But,'' the unsystematic
man says, sit will rain when want to plow
and it will blow when want to sow seed.
The man with system says. LET it rain
and blow. There IS other work in my plan
that can be moved UP a day or week and
it is work that ,aust &c done. We will
lose no time, just shift the work and when
the month is done the work is all done as
planned"
The unsystematic man has not pl,ned for
that other DAYS work and he lets the help
loaf or go to town because it is too wet to
plow, and the end of the month finds him
behind with his work and complaining be-
cause it rained and spoiled three whole days
for him.
system win not run itself. 1t takes just
as good a man TO run it as it does to design
it in the first place, but system lends it
self to change whereas farmer working
without system has to think up something
every hour that. can be done that hour. If
something comes up to make a change nee
essary at the last minute he is all at sea for
he has no definite plan of what really must
be done. He can change, but he is contin-
nally worried about whether be hasn't for
gotten something Of not

Braves Lose to Ashland In raroI;
Contest.
Contest.

Biilerbeck's Ashland bunch were the at
traction at the local park last Sunday, and
they were handed farcial game replete
with rag chewing and near quitting, with
the Ashland outfit as offenders. The
Braves simply refused to win such game,
50 they kicked it away after winning it
three differen. times.
The first three innings gave promise of a
good game, but after that it revolved itself
nto crabby and rag chewing contest by
Ashland, and 2 Woody fielding and hard
hitting affair by the Braves. Each side
played ragged fielding game but our team
was far ahead in this respect, they making
seven boots besides bone plays galore, to
four errors for Ashland.
Odanah out hit Ashland by wide margin
and it was wonder to the spectators that
| Billerbeck stuck thru. Guess twas case
Of have too. at any rate he was the luckiest
kind of gink to pull out with the game.
Odanah started scoring early, getting
two runs in the first inning on successive
doubles by Hallada and B. Dennis, two in:
field outs and passed ball. They pushed
another across in the third when H. Grant
singled and went to End on balk and scor.
on Iames's double to left field. Again in
the fourth they nicked the plate with two
runs wher after one out, B. Dennis singled
and was driven home by his brother Eds
circuit smash to left center. Their last
two markers were added in the sixth, b.
Dennis sent screeching double to center
and scored on q single by E. Dennis who
went to End on helders choice, to 3rd on
the shortstops error and scored on sacrifice
fly by ]. Grant.
Ashland scored three runs in the fourth
inning, four in the sixth and four more in
the NINTH II is useless to describe how
they scored because they were mostly all
the results of boots, bones and weird hand
ling of the ball by the Braves, that is all
but four of their runs, which they earned.
The umpiring also was the punkest that
has been witness on the local grounds this
season. Babb Of Park Falls who oficiated
las. Sunday made mess of his work OF
several different occasions, especially his
stunt of trying to even up every time he
made mistake, this feature was very
evident in his work. Taking it all in all
as an Umps Mr.. Babb is a crackerjack out
fielder.
In contrast to Babbs work was the nifty
exhibition of the old reliable, Joe Waters,
who judged the game for the lst inning.
