EIN! OF THE FATHERS
Tbs “clearing hones for mental de-
fectives’ of the New York Post-Graduate
hospital net long ago Issued a
statement to the affect that of the
19999099 school children In tha United
States about 7$ par cent or nearly
15 000900 am defective Tha state-
ment explains that the word defective
la applied not only to thoae mentally
below par but to tha large number of
children suffering from adenoids
swollen tensile and similar physical
defects
- In attempting to discover tha “why”
for such aa army ot subnormal and
abnormal children the Chicago Trib-
une ventures the opinion that while In
part they are n product of tha present
day economic and Industrial condi-
tions after all It is largely a case of
“tha alna ot the fathers being visit-
ed upon tha children" That alcohol
Is responsible tor the larger part of
these “alna’’ for which the offspring
must suffer la vouched for by physi-
cians and scientists whose ability to
paaa upon tha question cannot ha

A blinding streak on an Instant mads?
Not so! Rather la It tha long day by

The American Farmer
All things recalled wouldn’t It be
the part of statesmanship to do con-
gresslonally for tha American farmer?
He’s one-fourth ot your population
and tha nation's best hope The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent The American stock gam-
bler producing nothing accomplish-
ing nothing a merest leech living by
toll 'of others ' borrows tor even
less Tha American farmer with all
that can be said to hls good and solv-
ent advantage must and does pay (it
per cent
And all tha time the savings and
postal banks are bulging with billions
If the government would make two
bladea of grass grow where bat one
has grown before— and publicly It
would pay— the wide-flung chanoelles
open Let It model action on French
or German lines and place the farmer
on a borrowing par with tha merchant
tha manufacturer and tha stock Job-
ber Let It evolve a system of farm
loan which shall put those savings
and postal bank billions at a per cent
within the farmer's borrowing reach
