OTHER VIEW POINTS

More than SS3,OOO. 900 a year is cx- pended in this country in maintaining and caring for the insane. which sum exceeds the average yearly cost of the construction of the Panama canal. The amount spent yearly for the care of the feeble-minGed is much smaller. owing to the way in which this great problem has been neglected. But the indirect cost to the nation of the fec b. le-minded not in institutions Is far greater than that for the insane. for the feeble-minded furnish a consider able proportion of the criminals. pros- titutes and other dependent classes. Society is learning. slowly. that it is more economical and more safe to prevent trouble than to wrestle with 1t after it arrives To this end. the public Is giving more attention to sub- jects which a few years ago were ig- nored.-Meriden Record.

WET UMBRELLAS.

There are many, many theories as to the best way in which an umbrella should be placed while drying, but if you stop to think about it a moment your common sense will tell you that the only way is to stand it upright closed with the handle at the base. In this way the water may run off at the ends of the ribs as it is intended to do naturally. If the umbrella is opened the silk will be stretched un- necessarily while drying.

A tempting center piece about twenty-two inches in di- ameter has a single strawberry placed in each deep scallop forming the edge of the piece. Each berry calls for lit- tie work, its shape being outlined in crimson thread. Golden yellow seed ings in each berry are worked in the seed stitch. A fresh-colored green is used for the leaves.

MIR, HUGHES MEASUREMENTS.

When Mr.. Hughes V%enturing, as he
rarely does, from generalities to par
ticulars tries to support his blanket
indictment of the Wilson administra-
ton he becomes ludicrously entangled.
In his Detroit speeches the other day
he charged the administration with
having displaced Mr.. E. Dana Durand,
for long years director of the census
bureau, with "a Southern politician
and with having ousted an eminent
scientist who was at the head of the
coast and geodetic survey for a Demo
cratic "stock breeder and veterinary
surgeon" This was his evidence"
ina sweeping declaration that since
Mr.. Wilson became President civil SER
vice principles had been fouted and
overturned.
The facts are, as Secretary Redfeld
has shown conclusivelyu that Mr.. Du-
rand was not removed from office but
resigned of his own accord, and that
tre head of the coast survey, far from
being ousted, retired voluntarily much
to the regret of the administration and
despite it's efforts to retain is services
Tho Southern politician to whom
Mr.. Hughes alluded is Hon. William J.
Harcis. Of Georgia, who as a director
of the census bureau earned the praise
of Republicans and Democrats alike
and was promoted to membership on
the federal trade commission because
of his demonstrated ability. The
stock breeder and veterinary sur
geon" to whom Mr.. Hughes referred
is Lester Jones, who was advanced
from another branch of the depart
ment of commerce to the head of the
J coast survey and whose management
in that capacity has been uncommon
ly efficient and productive. Mr.. Hughes
stated that fifty-two appointments in
this bureau ''were made in opposition
to the advice of the civil service COM
mission" The records show that not
a single appointment was made
against the advice of that commission.
These misstatements r typical of
Mr.. Hughes campaign utterances.
Whenever he drops from vague gener-
alities he lands in ridiculous confu-
sion. Utterly at a loss for a valid
issue, he deals in charges which are
either pOintless Or unfounded; and
the further he goes. the more ire
sponsible his methods become. For
his hopeless lack of an ISSUE the Re-
publican candidate is more to be
pittied than censured, but that does
not excuse hip for boldly misrepre-
senting facts. Such methods would
not be surprising in a COMMONPLACE
political huckster, but they are amaz-
ing a former justice of the Supreme
Court and a would-be President of the
United States.-Atlanta Journal.

FIGURES THAT SILENCE.

The comptroller of the currency has
received reports from the national
banks of the country for the last is>
cal year. Their consolidated testi-
mony sets forth the deposits of more
than 100000 900 persons in every state,
county and town in the Union having
a national bank. This testimony con-
victs of gross insincerity and misrer-
resentation those who have claimed
and are insisting that the country's
prosperity is a FOOLS Paradise or that
it is temporary, sectional or begotten
of and dependent upon war.
To summarize briefly these reports
by groups of states, from April g., 1912.
to May 1. 1916, in the States of New
England, the increase in deposits was
from S619, 999. 999 to $811. 796 900, a net
gain in deposits of S191, 858, 900.
In the Eastern states the net gain
was $1,713, 794, 900.
In the Southern states the net gain
was S21S,084, 900; in the Middle states,
$212,219,000; in the Pacific states
$124.462, 900; in Hawaii. $901. 900.
The total net gain for all the states
reached the enormous figure of $3,119.-
81, 000-quite a ~silencer to the reck-
less statements that enemies Of the
government have beeG making.
