J This is the fourth week of the big
British offensive on the west front.
From the maps printed in the city
papers it would appear that at most
they have gained about four miles. |
This is about the same rate as the |
German advance toward Verdun in its |
early stages. More and more it looks !
as though final victory would be the |
result of hammering away until the
weaker side succumbs. That is the
way Grant overcame Lee during the
last years of the Civil war. The allies
hope of beating Germany lies in
tenacity, endurance and long suffer
ing more than in the brililancy of any
single performance.
The mountain rule" will not cut
much ice in the senatorial contest.
The bulk of the voters do not take
any interest in an imaginary line
drawn in the interest of a few men
who hope to hold some state Office. AS
a matter of fact the mountain rule"
is convenient without being very inn
portant. The joke is that Hyde Park
.ds geographically on the east side of
the state and is only politically on
the west side. During the past ten
years the growth Of the state has been
greatest on the west side of the noun
tain range and il the present decade
main tains the average Hyde Park
may be transferred politically to the
east side. This is not important ex
cept as showing on how small a foun
dation the mighty mountain rule rests

IMBEClLES DO GOOD WORK
Experiment Draws Favorable Com
ment From a Leading New
York Newspaper.

Charles Bernstein, superintendent
of the State Custodial Asylum for
the Feeble-Minded at Rome, N. Y,
last year rounded up rs of the
higher-grade imbecile boys and men
and sent them up into the Adiron-
dacks for month of summer camp
ing. The commissioner of conserva-
ton at Albany rounded up 10000
young evergreens and shipped them
to a railway siding near the boys
camp. George Kuehn, a scout mas
ter, got the trees and the boys to-
gether in spirit of outdoor competi-
tive play.
In just four weeks these rs feeble
minded wards Of the state set out
100000 young trees on $50 acres of
deforested state land at a total cost
of $500. The work was worth 81 900
to the state as it stood, and the COM
missioner of conservation called it
just as well done as though civilian
labor had been given the job.
These wards were turned from liza
bilities into assets in an experiment
that could be duplicated this summer
on large scale. Politicians handi-
cap such work whenever it is tried,
and they almost prevented this
venture, but despite them this pio-
neering will go on until the public
awakens to its big significance as
partial solution for one of the grave
and growing problems of our social
economy.-New York Mail.
