The subject of morons now
occupies numerous volumes and
even much newspaper space This
has occurred since the World War.
Previous to that time the term
seldom was used.
The draft in England produced
what was called Glass 81 men. In
the United States it unearthed a
similar class which were called
morons. The large number OF per-
sons who came under this classic
cation aroused great interest. In
brief, it means detectives or mentally
deficient persons. Today 1t is a term
commonly used in crinlinology.
The first scientific theory was that
actual morons were throwbacks or
reversion to primitive ancestors.
This theory is now held to be in
correct on the grounds that man 8
ancestors were winners in the
struggle for existence and have pro-
crossed and that such large num-
bers Of detectives would be i'm
possible. The latest theory is that
they are degenerate mutants." A
mutant is a species or individual
showing a sudden change. The
growth Of this species is rapid, be-
cause mental detectives are not re-
strained by normal reasoning

RI OvERNOR BRANCH has an
III :. nounced that no selection of
l new site for the blind
school has ben made by the COM
mission. And the matter will be re-
ferred back to the Legislature for
consideration.
The commission has secuted Ma
rion County to find a tract suitable
in location and physical features,
and within the appropriation OF
100000 available. But unsuccess-
fully. Price was the difficulty.
So there is a possibility the blind
school must be moved to a location
outside the county.
Perhaps prices asked for suitable
tracts in this county are not exorbi-
tant. Nor out of line with general
property values.
But usually when real estate is
inspected for public use that prop
erty Immediately initiates and feels
important. An individual may gum
shoe around and sneak up on q
bargain But bargains see the State
coming land flee. It's like stalking
deer with a brass band.
Only when local pride hungers for
a State institution is land offered at
bargain prices.
Giving away the present blind
school site, before another site was
secured. was generous. But awk-
ward. For it makes removal OF the
institution not choice but necessity.
And necessity can't haggle convinc-
ingly.

Fl G. WRAY, assistant city en-
ILl gineer in charge OF tracy ele-
4s walton, reported to the board
of works Wednesday, that the rail-
roads delayed preparation Of eleva-
ton plans.
The Belt line was asked nineteen
months ago to prepare plans for ele-
waiting its rails between Prospect
and w. Eighteenth SITS. But has not
done so.
Other elevation plans move at the
same baeathless pace. The board
has asked the railroads why.
Slow but sure is not the slogan
of elevation projects apparently. The
motto above their beds contains the
single word SLOW
A project that doesn't reach the
blueprint stage nineteen months
after inception will never break. a
speed law. Majestic time will roll
lop-sided before that project becomes
an actually.
Probably no public Improvement
here has contributed more to nau-
nicipal welfare and development
than track elevation. Grade-leveI
rails were steel handouts Stacking
certain sections, Much has been
done to file these letters from the
city. However. it isn't entirely
loose.
The remaining track elevation
can't be done in a minute. Years
will be needed to complete the pro-
gram. But without blue-prints, ac-
tual construction won't even start
this side OF eternity.

Times Washington BareGH,
1929 Ne1o YORK Ace.

EW7 ASEIINGTON, Jan. 9.--'The
1WI public is back in railroads, !"
IL is the cheerful message rail-
way executives and bankers have
sent to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. This is interpreted by
the commission to mean that with
possibly an exception here and there,
railroads will experience no difficulty
In financing their operations during
the next few years.
Discouraged by the poor financial
showing Of even the leading rail-
roads Of the country in the period
following the war, investors deserted
the rail securities and thus further
enhanced the general difficulties en-
countered by railroad financiers. The
problem became so serious that the
Government was compelled to step
in and lend the roads money.
Loans Reduced
Though many Of the roads still
have these loans, others have repaid
them, and the total amount is be-
tng reduced gradually. Only one Of
the nations great roads, the ST.
Paul, is still seriously in need of the
Government funds and even I'D this
case hopes are being entertained
that by next June when the line will
be called upon to redeem large
bond issue public support will be
strong enough to enable it to float a.
successful loan. According to the I.
C. G. officials, this is the one serious
hurdle" now faced by the country's
large systems.
The general public's growing con-
fidence in railroad securities has
been tremendously stimulated dur
ing the past two months by the in
creased dividends granted by some
Of the most prosperous lines. For
the first time in fourteen years, the
Santa Fe line has granted dividend
increase Of from to Z per cent, and
the important Lackawanna system
recently granted an extra dividend
of one dollar in addition to the reg
ular 6 per cent. Still other lines
have renewed dividend payments
Guilty. The st. Louis and San Fran
cisco, for instance several days ago
sent out the first dividend checks
on it's common stock that have
gone out in more than thirty years.
The Southern Railway, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway and half
a dozen smaller lines, have re-
newed dividend payments recently.
Dividends Resumed
According to students OF the rail
way situation. this Is only .. be-
ginning Of what viii eventually de-
velop into widespread increase and
resumption of dividends There are
now eight or ten lines which have
not paid dividends for from two to
ten years. which are earning enough
to resume such payments. That It Is
only matter of time before the

done to deprive him Of his power as
President. On March Q, 1867, Con
gress passed the tenure of office act,
which forbade the President to re-
move officers Of the Government
without the consent Of Congress.
Johnson violated this measure, as
Congress hoped he would. and the
House impeahced him on Feb. "a,
1868. However, the Senate failed by
one vote Of the necessary two-thirds
to convict him, and he finished out
his term.

Dignity

- speech before the In

Women, Recently, H. N. Sher-
wood, State superintendent; ex-
planned his recent request for an in
crease in his salary from $4,000 to
$500.
asking for the raise in salary is
not personal matter at ALL he
said. ut is for the dignity OF the
OFFICE
Dignity always costs money. Per
haps $4,000 isn't more than the mar
ket price for a prancing specimen
sound in wind and limb.
But dignity does none Of the work
Of the world It's principal function
is to lead an occasional parade Of
the ego and attendant vanities.
Yet people love their dignity. Some.
times they would rather starve than
part with one hair of it. 1T would
be undignihed" is the unanswerable
argument by which prejudice wins
many debates over sober logic.
Which is the reason white-colIar
vocations are always over-crowded,
while manual jobs frequently go
begging. A young man who is a
born mechanic prefers, being an
under-paid. clerk to a well.paid
artisan. Because it's more dignifed.
That settles it.
The world doesn't need more
dignity-true, false. officials, or
private. But it could use more per-
spiration. And the inclination to do
and serve while dignity goes hang.
