Inter-Fraternity
Politics Objectionable
SAYS Pres. Roberts

President Arthur J. Roberts of
Colby college stated yesterday morn
ing during the college chapel exer-
cises at the college that the inter-
fraternity politics, which have been
so evident the last few years, was
one of the most Objectionable fea-
lures that the students of the college
faced and that the immediate with
drawal of all dickering among the
fraternities of the college would do
more good than any thing else he
knew of. President Roberts began
his talk by saying that naturally one
fraternity man favored his frater-
nifty brother in elections and all that
because he had taken an oath to love
and honor all who he was associated
with in the bond and that one fea-
ture was harmless in that there were
few votes at stake but that the policy
at which his speech was directed
was the method employed by all
fraternities of today in dickeripg for
college offices and elections. By
dickering, the Colby president said
that he meant representatives of the
two or three or more fraternities
getting together and framing up
elections so that the election came
UP, you support our man for this
or that and we will support your
man for some other office either this
year or next"
President Roberts said that it was
only natural for fraternity brothers
to love each other and support each
other, even though there might be
better men running for the same
position but that Love was blind"
and could not see the qualities of the
other candidates. He stated that the
only cure was to have all of the fra
ternities in college pass resolutions
to the effect that they would stop
at once all of the inter-fraternity
chickering's and elect the men most
fitted for the positions. He stated
that this lining up of fraternities was
strenuously objected to by alumni
and many interested friends of the
college and was curse on any COL
lege where it was attempted. He
said that Colby was getting a. name
for this sort of matter which was
far from desirable and that 1t was
his sincere hope that it would be
stopped at once. He further stated
that it was practically impossible to
completely do away with fraterni-

DR.. Tyson, Supt. of
State Hosp, Addresses
Wateryille KiWanianS

THAT society must provide proper
environment for the mental deficient
both from humane and economic
standpoints, was the thought ex-
pressed last evening by DR.. Forrest
C. Tyson, superintendent Of the State
Hospital at Augusta in his address
on mental deficients delivered at the
meeting of the Waterville Kiwanis
Club. The doctors talk was deliver
ed in a clear and forceful vein that
brought to his audience, the revolu-
ton that has taken place in the last
century, the treatment of persons
mentally diseased and he declared
that progress along the proper lines
was being made rapidly in Maine.
He outlined the classifications of
the mentally deficient, the feeble
minded, the neurotic and the I'M
solvable. He declared that the
mentally deficient are allowed to
pursue the course of an ordinary
citizen until they break one Of the
laws that society has made to cafe.
guard itself. Then the deficient Is
punished according to the crime com-
mitted and not treated according to
the nature of the case. The en-.
mental deficient has much to in
fiuence and he cited the cases of
several inmates of the hospital who
can do work that is suited to their
mentality.
Only two per cent OF the insane
are criminals. declared the doctor.
and he declared that in very few
cases. Is restraint necessary. He
declared that higher wages must be
paid attendants so that It would be
possible to engage q better TYNE Of
attendants that is usually found in

outfit "a room in the Sisters Hospital
which will he completed this spring.
DR.. E. w. Boyer in speaking ON this
matter stated that he thought many
societies and clubs in Wateryille
should undertake to outfit room
and that a plate should he placed in
each room so that it's patron should
be known. He stated that hc had
taken the matter up with the hos
pital authorities before lls had men
toned the matter to the club and
they were perfectly willing to have
the organization do this. He stat
ed that from $3.50 to $500 would be
required to properly furnish room
and all that would be required would
be the initial cost. He thought It
would be especially fine If the young
est club in the city should be the
first to furnish a room and the re-
mainder of the club thought the same
as the doctor.
