Des Moines. March 5.-Thae there Is
great need for additional room to care
for feeble minded persons in Iowa Is
the position of the state board of con-
troll members who are putting II ny
ito the Thirty eighth general assembly
to provide for this condition.
The most conservative estimates
place the number of feeble minded whe
should be receiving institutional care
and training at 1900. The state insti-
tuition at Glenwood is full to overflow
ing and vet in almost every county IN
the state there are persons VINO neeo
this care and training, the control
board members say.
Estimates made by experts fix the
number Of feeble minded at one to
every 500 citizens. In some eastern
states it is claimed the figures are
one TO every 300 residents. IL the one
to 500 rule holds in Iowa it woulo
mean at least 5000 such irresponsibles
Of which only about 1900 are receiving
institutional care.
There has never been any accurate
survey bpk at least 1900 such patients
in Iowa are outside such care and
should be in a state institution" said
j. II. Strict. member of the board of
control. today.
Many With Criminal Bent.
Illinois has just provided another
big institution to care for this class OF
unfortunates. IN an article in the
magazine called Hospital Management
Charles III. Thorne. director of the
state department of public welfare at
Springfield. Ills. discusses somewhat
this problem.
"A high percentage of the women
law-breakers ,of Illinois are feeble
minded" he states.
Sixty per cent of the inmates OF
the state training school for girls are
mentally defective. Their offenses are
violations of the moral code. We do
what we can to overcome the effects
of heredity and environment.
only under the most careful and
constant supervision can the feeble
minded girl be protected. Without
this supervision she goes back to her
original. law violations. She bears
feeble minded and diseased children.
She becomes the inmate Of the dis
orderly resort. the street walker. the
woman who comes again and again
into the police courts. She scatters
venereal diseases thru every commun-
ity.
Eighty per cent Of the alms-house
population in Illinois are feeble mind
ed. II the state had the facilities for
caring for these persons many Of the
counties would not need to maintain
these institutions.

He made a strong appeal for rcll-

should become the fixed institution
of the home. He said that without
the Bible the preacher was working
on uncultivated soil when the people
came into the church.
In telling what the church did for
its members, he said: at holds you
to your good intentions, it increases
your faith, it calls you into Christian
service and it helps you to show your
colors."
He spoke of Religious infdels-
the people who protested the faith
but did not live up to it. He said

WINS
FROM BEEBE IN
II INNING GAME
Clinches Pennant of Border
League-13th Victory
Without a Defeat

After II innings of exciting base
ball the Newport city team Saturday
triumphed over the nine from Beebe,
Que, in the Border League, by a
score of 5 to 4. Belney Lee, a for
mer Tufts college twirler who was
farmed out by The Boston Braves,
toed the slab the entire II frames for
Beebe. He hurled alright bali con-
tinually causing the Newportians to
roll TO the iniield or to hoist easy pop
flies.
In the ninth inning the score stood
3 to l in favor of Beebe, but Newport
managed to sneak across a pair of
tallies, and thus tied the score. Beebe
secured another counter in the tenth
stanza, only to have Bill Mossa, New
ports catcher, come to the rescue
with a sensational home run. From
then on no one crossed the rubber
until the 18th, when Fred Mossa got
a single, and Gilman drove him in
with two Dagger.
Wells was Oh the mound for New
port during twelve stanzas after
which he retired in favor of Kenni-
son. This game clinches the pennant
for Newport in the Border League,
and also marks the 18th straight vic
tory without a single defeat. Against
Morrisville on Thursday, Kennison al
lowed the opposition but two scratch
hits, and caused Is men to fan. With
errorless support he should have had
a shutout, instead of the 8 to 4 vic
tory. ~, &Es%
tuesday Newport crosses bats with
Barton, and meets Morrisville on Fri

The score: Newport 5, Beebe a;

A HIGHWAY BRIGAND

The height of automobile brigand-
age was reached in st. Johnsbury
last night when an automobillst IN
censed at the fact that he did not
have all the roadway from Danvllle
into town leaped from the running
board of his car and grasped by the
throat the driver of the car whom he
believed had taken too much OF the
road. The driver of this car lost
control of his machine and 1t smash
ed into a pole. Four persons were IN
the car and by miracle only one
was injured and not seriously.
When person using the highways
that are owned and paid for by the
public at large, reaches such a
state of mental responsibility as to
leap onto a moving car to chastise
another driver for any reason what
sover it is time the highways were
cleaned up of such characters.
The life and limb of automobiles
to say nothing ofpedes:rians is IN Jeo-
pardy every minute that such MANAGES
are at large. The man, and witnesses
of the accident say he was fully "a
wears old-should be placed behlnc
prison bars if there is tact and aut-
hority enough in the State of Vermont
to capture such william.
There can be no halfway work OF
intolerance of such actions upon oul
highways especially when this hap
pens upon one of the main streets
of our town. We sincerely hope thu
police force will leave no stone n
turned to- identify this car and ar
rest the man who took all law ant
order into his hands and placed TIL
lives of four St. Johnsbury people IL
jeopardy.

GUARDS MILLIONS
Captain L. w. Fisher, Formerly Of
St. Johnsbury, Has Interesting
Position in Washington

Capt. L. w. Fisher and his daugh-
ter, Miss Fidelia H. Fisher of Wash
ington, ID. c., are visitors in town for
q week or more and then go to Dan
vile for a visit. Capt. Fisher IS a
we'll known veteran of the Civil War
having fought with the Fourth Vera
mont Regiment. He holds an interest
ing position in the United States
Treasury building in Washington
where he is a guard. He is one of
the outside guards of the huge money
vaults of the treasury building where
the millions of gold reserve are
held.
Capt. Fisher suffered a severe &C
cident about a month ago and has
since been on a sick leave. He livec
in st. Johnsbury for 20 years before
going to Washington about a yea
ago. His daughter has had a re-
sponsible position in the War Risl
Insurance department at Washing
| ton.
Capt. Fisher says the city is so fill
ed with war workers that it is hardl!
possible to get seats on street car
and rents and board has increased
TREMENDOUSLY at the Capitol. HI
will not return to work until he ha
fully recovered from the injury re

Somehow our legislature doesn't
look so bad when compared with the
Massachusetts legislature which
dragged to a close on July "a. The
only distinguishing feature of the
work of the Massachusetts, body was
a salary grab of $500 each and a
brazen attempt to create some well
paid recess" jobs for large number
of it's members. A contemporary
remarked that the Vermont legisla-
ture smelt of the barn but it also
smelt of the good sturdy honesty
without hint of self voted graft.

driver knows what to do, but the
rattle-brained person who seesaws
back and forth, first going ahead ano
then retiring-he is a goat-getter OF
the first magnitude.
With traffic posts at principal cor
ners and the rules of the road observ-
ed by motorists, there is but one right
way to cross a street, and that is
with a careful regard to traffic com
ing in the legal direction. Where
there are no traffic posts or visible
policeman, who does not the same
thing apply? Why should pedes-
trains not exercise at least as much
care as the motorist is required by
law to exercise?
As for the man in the motor-car
for all practical purposes he is abb
solutely held responsible for the safe
ty of pedestrians. In a suit against
a motorist, what chance is there ever
for establishing anything like con
tributory negligence on the part OF
the pedestrian? So far as that goes
the same thing applies to horse
drawn vehicles as against motor-cars
The motorist is always at fault, ac-
cording to the way the average jury
looks at it, but should there not be
a little more respect paid the situa-
ton by the pedestrian and the horse
man? Shouldn't the motorist have at
least a $3.50 chance for his goat"
