the developments in the Obenchain
trial relating to the former Peruvian.

Then he was asked to identify two

1000 in State in Need of Care.

Startling pictures OF conditions ex-
isting in West Virginia among the
States feeb!e-minded were painted By
James S. Lakin, president OF the West
Virginia State Board of Control, in
an address before the State conference
of social workers in session in Park
ersburg.
Mr.. Lakin stated there were now
more than two thousand morons, i'm
beetles and idiots in West Virginia
who were in need Of institutional care,
either in the nature of custodian care
or hospital or similar attention, and
yet not half this number can be &C
commodated in the State institutions
for the feeble minded.
With something more than 800 in
mates in the Huntington hospital, it
is filled to capacity, he said, and will
probably always be so, as the inmates
have no chance for recovery, and va
cancies will occur by death in all prob
ability. The Spencer and Weston hos
pitfalls have some room, and Weston
will have more when the negro hospit-
al at Maggie makes possible the remov-
al Of negro patients from Weston. But
the total number of inmates in all Of
these institutions is now less than 100
and maximum possibilities are less
than one thousand even with the ad-
ditional relief that the Maggie insti-
tuition will provide.
Mr.. Lakin urges the conference 10
act strongly back of the program OF
the State to put through legislation to
further move toward solving the pres
ent unsatisfactory situation. He urg-
ed that laws be enacted requiring that
every county in which there are ten
children between the ages Of six and
fourteen years OF age who were bach
three years in their standard develop
ment be required to provide social
schools in which these children might
be trained and that il be required by
law that such children be examined
by a properly trained specialist in dis
eases of the mind.
He suggested that every county
urge activity upon the part of its men
tai hygiene commission, composed of
the president of the county court, the
prosecuting attorney and the county
clerk, which were provided for in the
recent acts Of the legislature. He ex-
planned that lack Of funds made il i'm.
possible to do more than was beinp
done by the State boards, particularly
IN regard to the school flor feeble
minded, which is provided by law blu,
for which funds are not yet availa.

For Near East Relief.

The Near East Relief Committee of
Shepherdstown has heard Of the threat
ened crisis in that troubled quarter Of
the world and therefore is glad to an
nounce that next Tuesday, March 18th,
at 8 P. M, in the moving picture
house, a film entitled "Alice in Hunger
land" will be shown. This picture
was taken only last summer and por-
trays actual present conditions in Ar
menia.
The threatened crisis refers to a
very recent order Of the Near East As
ISOLATION announcing Is per cent re-
duction in the appropriations necessi1
tated by reason of the fact that Amer
leans this year have not contributed
enough to carry on the work, and this
reduction has been made almost SIM
ultaneously with a call for double the
appropriations.
Reports from government and othep
sources indicate that not less than one
million people are living in the Mean
East who would have persisted Of star
walton and resultant diseases had il not
been for contributions sent from Amer
lea administered through the agency
of the Near East Relief.
More important than the mere figures
Of one million lives saved or one hun
dred thousand children now fed, is
the fact that these lives saved from
imminent starvation are but a part OF
the three or four millions who yet re-
main Of the exi'ed and prosecuted
Christian subject races Of the Near
East, most of whom would prob
ably have disappeared in the massacres
and prosecutions that have followed
since 1915, had it not been for the
presence in their midst Of American
relief workers whom the authorities
do not care to offend. The Armenians
and most Of the subject races Of the
Near East are still in exile. War in
the Near East has not ceased since
1914. Although the Armenians Tough,

A Disgraceful Exposure.

rotten state of affairs has been
exposed in the city OF Staunton, VIZ
giria. Ii has been notorious Tor
long time that the disgraceful disre-
gard of prohibition laws was bringing
Staunton into disrepute, but nothing
could be done, apparently, to bring inc
offenders TO Justice. County officials.
court officers and men OF influence
were Indifferent TO the conditions OF
deliberately blocked efforts 10 orlng
about reforms.
Last week Tom Tisdale, farmer OF
the neighborhood, was put on trial iol
offenscs against the prohibition laws
and when he took the stand in has
own defense, believing that he was be-
ing double-crossed, he let the cat out
of the bag and made clean breast
of his operations. He admitted that
he had been operating an illegal dis
tillery the past two years, but came
out and told who had set him up IN
business, providing the money for his
distillery operations. He named as
his hackers Sheriff John F. Taylor,
Prosecuting Attorney Hugh H.. Kerr,
Captain Guy II. Kyle, prominently
connected with the Staunton Military
Academy, who has been forced to re-
sign: VIM. A. Gruber, State prohibl-
ton officer; DR.. S. c. Nef, we'll
known physician; Harry Fauver and A.
T. Higginbotham, wholesale grocers.
1t was also brought out at the same
time that other prominent men of the
city had written to Federal Prohibi,
ton Commissioner Robert A. Full
wiler asking that L. P. Clayton, a no.
torious bootlegger and ex-convict, oq
given a position as law enforcement
| officer. Among those who made this
request were Carter Braxton, common
wealth's attorney for Staunton; X. M.
Lipscomb, chief of police.
The exposure created considerable
of sensation, and people generally are
demanding that all of the guilty be
punished-not the scapegoat only. II
looks as if the big fellows will go free,
but they have been held up to disgrace
| in way that is not pleasant to them.
How curious it is that honorable men
will become dishonorable through the
influence of the whiskey business, that
decent folks will become disreputable
that SO many will lie and cheat and
steal and perure themselves on its
account.
