OUR AVERAGE
INTELLIGENCE

And now come the statistics Of the govern
ment, gathered from our army during the war,
when for the first time we had the opportunity
Of testing by modern scientific methods the in
telligence of a substantial cross-section of our
people.
OF the white draft-that is, the white soldiers,
as opposed to negroes-30 per cent were found
to be unable to read and understand newspapers
or to write letters home. Forty-seven and three
tenths per cent Of the white draft fell below the
mental age Of IL years, and only one year over
the maximum mental age of what are generally
known as morons. Forty-seyen and three-tenths
per cent!
Sxty-six and two-thirds per cent Of the white
draft tested below percentage that marked the
minimum capacity necessary 10 carry on the So
called paper work Of the army-that is making
reports and keeping the files. Out Of all those
millions of drafted men, just third had ability
enough TO carry on this by no means laborious
type of mental work.
The appalling significance Of these statistics
il is impossible TO escape. They cannot be ex-
planned away. We had the best blood of Amer
lea in the army. Those men represented certain
" our average intelligence and capacity. They
reflected our citizenship with substantial accu-
racy. These are the people upon whom our COM
pick life is placing its gigantic responsibilities

q Ellis Moore for CONGRESS-

G.. Ellis Moore Tor CONGRESS-
Mr. Moore's opponent, Mr.. Tan
nehill, in the Guernsey Valley Bull.
letin, Guernsey county, in its July,
1929, edition., carried half page po-
litical advertisement which con-
tanned the following:
Representative C. Ellis Moore
voted for the Esch-Cummins law
and has spoken in defense of that
action. The Esch-Cummins law was
and still is opposed by organized la
bor., Do you approve of that rec
ord?" The inference to be drawn
from the advertisement is that Mr..
Tannehill would have voted against
that law, and is now opposed to it
and is trying to defeat Mr.. Moore
on the grounds that he was in favor
of it. This bill had the endorsement
of Republican congress, was COM
mended in the Republican National
platform of 1920, and is supported
by the Republican National Admin
istration at Washington. When this
bill was debated in congress it
was stated that Mr.. Gompers had
told congress that it must not pass
any anti-strike provisions in rail
road legislation, and that Mr.. Com
pers had further made the threat
''That all members of congress who
do not vote as they (Mr. Gompers
and organized labor) desire, must
be defeated and will be defeated
There was read that day into the
records of congress an article con-
tanning the following:
vigorously denouncing congress
which it is said has failed to do its
duty, the American Federation of
Labor, yesterday announced the ap-
pointment of a National Non-parti-
san political .sseampaign committee,
in an effort to defeat candidates in
different or hostile to labor and
elect true and tried friends of the
trade union movement
The argument sent out by Sam
Gompers, then at the head of labor
unions, and his committee appoint
ed to defeat any member of con
gress who dared to support any
anti-strike legislation, has the same
ring to it, and is in fact in part
Identical with the above argument
advertisement referred to. Will tins
voters of Morgan county join Sam
Gompers and his committee to help
carry out the threat of the labor un-
ions at the time the Esch-Cummins
bill was debated in congress? If
not, vote for G. Ellis Moore at the
primary next Tuesday Political
