SAYS EVERY THIRTIETH
PERSON is DEFECTIVE
Prot. H. E. crampton Tells Y. M. c
A. Audience FeebIe-Mindedness
Is Becoming More Prevalent.

"one in every thirty persons in the UNI
ted States is defective. This detection Is
growing rapidly. Mental detectives are
reproducing in greater number than nor
NAL men, proof of which can be seen by
the comparison of the facts that college
professors have an average of two chill
dren per family. while detectives range
from FIVE to six per family"
These were some of the statements
made by Prof. II. e. Champion In lecture
last night on Biology as the Basis OF
Eugenics" at the Y. M. C. A. before an
audience which filled the lecture hall.
Prof. CHAMPION is professor of biology al
Barnard College. New York City.
There will be more feeble -mindedness
In the next generation than in the pre- q
ent." continued Prof CHAMPION, "be-
cause mental qualities are Inherited. and
the feeble-minded are reproducing the
more rapidly.
THE processes OF heredity are the same
In man as in the lower animals, 50 we
may safely proceed to reduce the number
OF detectives by keeping those peopie
from breeding.
Some public-spirited citizens have said
that we can reduce mental detection nv
placing the detectives on farms. But
they are wrong. Heredity supplies ALI
the qualities and environment merely de-
ternines their manifestation. One can
not rear defecfive child into a moral
normal being"

on Labor on the resolution proposed by
Representative Meyer London, the New

The labor leader declared that the COM

and social workers to discuss the ques-

the effect that In spite of all that has
been said and done in the past ten years

MISSOURI, KANSAS AND
OKLAHOMA FOR WEEKS
Friends of Senator From Massachu.
sets Say He Will Have Support of
Three Big States at Conyention.

Two more delegates to the Republican
national convention at Chicago Favorable
to the nomination of Senator John w.
Weeks, Of Massachusetts, have been
elected in Missouri where the Mas.
saehusetts man already has support from
practcally two=thtrds. of the entire
delegation. The news concerning bis
latest acquisition In that State was re-
eeiVed in telegram yesterday from
Representative L. C. Dyer. of st. Louis,
which reads
Two more Weeks delegates named to-
day, of which 1 am one''
Mr.. Dyer has been especially active In
forwarding the Weeks candidacy in Mis-
souri,, and is the third local manager for
senator Weeks to be chosen as a delegate
to the Chicago convention, the otbera
being George H. Moses. of New Hamp-
shire, and former Representative Bird
Mcclure, of Oklahoma.
That Senator Weeks can count upon
the support of more delegates of the Mis-
|soufi, Kansas, and Oklahoma delegations
to the forthcoming national convention
than any other candidate was the as
seration made yesterday by Mr.. MCGUIRE,
who will head the Oklahoma delegation
at Chicago.
THE country is looking for a man of
the Mckinley type like Senator Weeks, q
man who will build and not destroy, &"
said Mr.. Mcclure at the Willard. The
majority of our people believe that Sena-
tor Weeks is that type OF man, and we
must not overlook the fact that three big
central Western States-Missouri. Kansas,
and Oklahoma-haye already elected their
delegates-and Senator Weeks has more
votes in those States than all other candi-
dates combined.
Men who have served with Senator
Weeks in the Congresses Of the United
States have done him a great deal of
good in the West and Middle West and
you can be very certain that any man
who has ninety per cent of all the men
with whom he has served in Congress
working for him, must have some of the
qualities necessary to make a President -
