|MBEC|LE MURDERER
IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss.-A notable murder
trial in South Mississippi resulted in
dispatching to the penitentiary a IT.
year-old white boy. 1t is stated that
the boy approached his unarmed vic
tim with an open knife, apparently
without provocation, and stabbed
him through the heart. The boys
own defense was that the, victim had
"outrageously mistreated" his young
er and half-witted brother.
The younger brother in whose be-
half the boy alleged he killed this
man, has also been made State
ward at the Industrial Training
School.
Each of these boys has been given
an intelligence rating by DR.. Thomas
H. Haines, Consulting Psychiatrist
with the Mississippi Mental Hygiene
Commission. DR.. Haines finds both
boys feeble-minded. The murderer.
who is II, has a mental development
OF years and months. The other
boy, who is 16, has the mind of an
ordinary 9-year-old boy.
The. penitentiary can do nothing to
supply the lack of brain and mind to
this young criminal. He cannot be
reformed, because he lacks mental
capacity. The time will never come
when he should be set free, as compe-
tent to manage himself. By the con-
ditions of his birth, his mind, and,
consequently, his character, are pre-
vented from developing.
The 9-year-old mind of his young
er brother is limited in the same way,
and the Industrial Training School
can never make competent citizen
of this handicapped youth.
These brothers afford striking il
lustrations of the need in Mississippi
for a Training Colony, where such
persons could be put and kept, and
trained to do such kinds of work as
they are capable of doing. Trained
in this way, those boys would be far
happier than they can be when left
at large, or when kept in schools de-
signed for boys and girls of ordinary
intelligence. Conditions in such a
Colony would be adapted to their
limited intelligence. Being suitably
employed in world thus adapted to
their limitations, they would live the
happiest possible lives.
If the State had had such an in
stitution, these boys, known to be
feeble-minded, as they must have
been by the teachers in the schools
where they attended, would have
been placed years ago in the insti.
tuition. The younger BROTHER would
not have been teased by the victim
Of the older brother, and the older
brother would not have had the oc-
casion or the opportunity to will his
man.
A State Training School for the
Feebleminded is not only q humane
plan for managing the feeble-minded
themselves, 1t proves an economic
institution on the part Of the State,
in that 1t saves lives and property
which are destroyed by the feeble.
minded when they are allowed to run
at large.

BOARD FAILS To
GRANT INCREASE
TO COUNTY AGENT.
Supporters of County Agent West
Hope to Secure Raise at February
3 Meeting.

County Demonstration J. T. West,
who has served the livestock men and
farmers of this county energetically
and helpfully during the sixteen
months he has been in office, will
give up the office of County Demon
strator, February l, unless provision
is made by the County Board of
Supervisors to give him an increase,
proportionate to increased living ex-
penses, it was announced today.
Mr.. West, a complete statement
of whose work will appear in next
weeks News, has handled around
$125,000 worth of shipping in the
time he has been in his Office.
He was an associate agronomist al
the A, G M. College for number Of
years before coming to this work,
and has the experience and a know
ledge Of the people of this commun-
ity and their needs, that no new man
could have. The News doubts if the
County can secure satisfactory
man to fiji Mr., Vests place, at the
present salary, which we are inform.
ed is among the lowest being paid in
the state, or in adjacent states.
We understand that Mr.. West has
been offered from five hundred to
one thousand dollars year more
than he is getting here, which in con-
sideration of a good County Agents
worth to the community, and present
living costs is little enough.
An experienced county agent en-
courages and protects the small ship
per. A green man, secured at a
smaller salary, may prove even more
expensive to the citizens of the
County.
Two petitions, one from Beat five,
and one from Beat one, in which
Starkville is located, have been pre-
sented for the Boards consideration.
They ask that Mr.. West be granted
the increase he asks.
We believe the Board appreciates
the value of Mr.. Vests work. Ap-
parently the lack of action this week
was because no one man wanted to
"start something" that called for in
creased County expenditures. But
we also believe that within the next
thirty days the friends and support
ers of Mr.. West will evidence their
desire to have him retained in Ok
tibbeha SO unmistakably, that the
Board of Supervisors will be convin-
ced that the farmers and livestock
men, poultry raisers and shippers
want Mr.. Vests services enough to
be willing to pay more for them.
The News urges that all who are
desirous of retaining Mr.. West will
get busy and use their influence,
