HE kept US OUT
OF WHAT WAR?
Disinqenuous to Boast That It's
Through Any Act of Wilson
We Are Out of the Euro
pean Contest.
RATHER SHOULD BE BLAMED
FOR MEXICO BELLIGERENCY

During the Present Administration We
Have Seized a Mexican Port and
Sent Our Entire Army and Militia
to Fight Mexieans While Armed
Mexican Forces Have invaded Amer
lean Soil and Fought Battles Against
Our People.
Sometimes you. hear men. sensible
men. too, say, "I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept US
out Of war"
Ask such men. q short question. Ask
them. "Out of what WARP"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of the
European war? No. He has himself
in a formal address to congress spoken
Of the European war as "a war with
which we have nothing to do. a war
whose causes do, not touch. u.s." How
could Mr.. Wilson keep US out OF. war
with which we have nothing to do and
whose causes do not touch us?
Did he keep the rest Of tho western
hemisphere ont Of the European war?
No independent, nation on this side OF
the world is involved in It; the only
people in 1t, are the colonies OF Euro
pear powers and they had no voice in
then fate, for they were automatically
at war when their mother governments
went to war. Who kept Argentina,
Brazll,. Chile, Peru, out of the Euro
pean war? Did Mr.. Wilson,
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us, out Of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico, during that
time. No, Mexican cities, were. seized
by. Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was In the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us cut of war with Mex
leo. He put an embargo on arms so
that American weapons would not be
sent across the boundary, and he re-
fused to interfere in Mexican affairs.
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans, and Americans were safe
In Mexico. Since he left Office Mexi-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out of war with Mexi-
co? Not If words mean anything.
Mr. Wilson did not keep us out Of
the European war, and he did not keep
us out Of war with Mexico.
Out of what war. then? Detroit

Not a New Disease.
"Borderlinity" Is not new disease.
II is simply a classification Of large
number of mental detectives who are
not capable of passing we'll in ordinary
society or oven high enough in the
social to be called backward, and who
yet would not be RELOCATED among the
feeble-minded. This troublesome and
little known class was the theme Of an
address by DR.. S. c. Kohs, head Of a
psychological laboratory at the Chi
cago city workhouse. He said in part:
by 'borderline' is meant distance
or an area between whose limits there
and normal types; below the lower
limit all cases are feeDle-minded. and
above the upper limit all cases are nor
NAL. There Is no line dividing the
normal from the mentally defective.
Our institutional experience leads
us to the conclusion that more earn
est and more thorough consideration
OF the borderline doubtful case by the
public school authorities is absolutely
necessary on one hand; and on the
other. either the creation OF special
departHent in institutions for the
feebleEninded, or the organization Of
an entirely new type OF institution,
such as is now in existence in Ger
many, in which these doubtful cases
may be studied TO determine the causes
back OF the condition"

According to Mrs. Alice Steb-
bins Wells Who Addresses
the National Conference.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 1.-THE
closing day of the National Confer
ence of Charities and Correction was
marked by a program embracing d.
yersified subjects, from a survey of
the police woman movement to alco-
hol insanity in Kansas, a prohibition
state.
The Police Woman Movement"
was discussed by Mrs. Alice Stebbins
Wells, a police woman of Los Angeles,
California.
Mrs. Wells said in part:
1t Is now conceded by nearly all
reasonable people that there is a type
Of police work which cannot and
should not be done by men and that
there is left undone in any city which
has not pollcewomen a vast amount
of preventive police work in the in
forest Of women and children.
in the now nearly six years since
Los Angeles appointed the first regu-
lar police-woman, twenty states have
come into line-Maryland, Colorado,
Texas, Pennsylvania, Washington,
New York, Arizona. Ohio. Wisconsin,
Illinois, Alabama, Indiana. North Da-
kota, Massachusetts,, Nebraska, Louis
lana. New Jersey. Missouri, Mlnneso-
ia, Montana.
Men officers, especially detectives
and plain clothes men must, in their
round Of duties, often 20 to the home
of women and compel them to accom-
pany them Mt once to the station.
This may often occur at an hour
when women are totally unprepared
for men visitors; yet the officers duty
is such that he must keep them under
personal observation, because the wo-
man might otherwise escape, attempt
self-destruction, destroy evidence or
signal to confederates."
Social Work.
1.-THE Social Work of Pollcewomen"
was the subject of a paper by Mrs.
Charles Carroll.
Speaking of n study Of the results
of special court hearings for womcn's
cases in the indianapolis city court
and of probation work under the di-
section of the late Mrs. Eva Payne
Hopkins, Mrs. Brown, said:
"Out of AIS cases investigated only
forty-nine were fined or committed
to the jail or correctional department
Of the woman's prison and, In the re-
manning cases, the investigation dis
closed that the facts would not justify
Imprisonment and the court either
suspended the sentence or withheld
judgment. AS result OF the inves-
tigation OF 32S cases involving do
nestle relations, less than % per
cent of the offenders were committed
to Jail or workhouse.

Smith, "and ninety per cent of them
are preventable. The great causes in
the order of their importance and re-
sponsibility for this ninety per cent
OF insanity are heredity. venereal dis
ease and alcoholism and other drug
habits.
Drug habits other than alcoholism
are responsible for some cases of in
sanity but they as often go hand in
hand with alcoholism that they may be
regarded as belonging to the same
group. Other diseases also cause in
sanity. Any exhaustive. acute disease,
such as typhoid fever, measles in
early childhood, diphtheria, tuberculo-
sis, pellagra, cerebral-Spinal meningi-
tbs, may produce disease of the mind.
Fortunately, this group is largely cur
able"
DR.. Philip B. Newcomb. clinical di-
rector Of the state hospital for the in
sane at Osawatomie. Kan, in the first
symposium the National Conference of
Charities and Correction has had on
the temperance question in its forty
three years of history, said that sta
tistics of insanity in Kansas are often
distorted by liquor interests and
others. No greater amount of general
insanity exists in Kansas than in sur
rounding or distant wet" common
wealths, DIR. Newcomb said.
Defective Heredity.
Probably a greater frequency is
shown in Kansas state hospital fig
ures," he said, "of a type of insanity
known as degenerative and showing
defective heredity primarily as bas-
is. Yet Kansas has very low per-
centage of the psychoscs in which in
temperance is the prime causative fac
tor, viz, delirium tremens, alcoholic
hallucinosis, alcoholic delusional in
sanity. Alcoholism and alcoholic in
sanity are greatest in border localities
of the state near wet" territory and
where law enforcement is less string
ent.

In paper on Municipal Welfare
Work." William A. Grassland, execu-
tive secretary, OF the Social Welfare
Board of st. Joseph, Mo-, and in part:
Only Source Of Relief.
st Joseph's experience in charit-
able work has been much the same as
of other cities In the olden days the
mayor was the only source OF public
relief. He was the friend of the poor
both worthy and unworthy. The fund
was dispensed with no investigation,
with no attempt at constructive work:
1t was simply a beans and bacon bu-
reau. 1t was a most admirable way of
gaining the patronage and good will of
the poor. The politicians thought
that the plan was the best ever de-
vised. This fund may not have been
tlagrantly misappropriated, but 1t
must have been of some value or the
politicians would not have protested
so bitterly when the relief fund was
divorced from politics.
Later experts were employed to
make a survey of public charitable
work. A bill was passed by the legls-
lature creating the Social Welfare
Board of st. Joseph.
1.-THE welfare board is empowered to
care for all the sick poor and the we'll
poor in the city. The sick poor through
departments Of home medical service,
dispensary service. visiting nurse SER
vice, obstetric service and hospital
service, and the well poor through bu-
reaus of investigation, registration,
records of employment, legal aid, and
clothing and woodward departments,
homeless men department, welfare
board farms. departments of relief,
volunteer service, donations and bur-
iaIs.
