"Alenlal Cases increase." Vve rend, under this caption,
that the number of cases of mental disorder in the Noith
Dakota Slate Hospital has increased steadily from (iiS in
. 1!H0 to Mil in IDLiH. This is greater. than the increase in
population. There are twice as many patients per 1011,01)1)
people as there were IS years ago.
"Feeble Minded Patients." Oklahoma Institute for the
Feeble Minded reports fil!) cases of this type in l'.)-S to .''(Ki
in an ineroiei of more than 50 per cent per population
in these six years. "Prison Population Jumps." Tho num
ber of prisoners in the state penal institutions of Iowa has
moie than doubled in the last IS years, and they are now re
ceiving more than twice as many prisoners per unit of popu
lation as they were in 11)10,
These are typical American states, having so largo a pro
portion of native stock that the apparent deterioration can
not bo blamed on immigrants. Is tho race really deteriorat
ing mentally and morally at this rate? We do not think so.
Perhaps it isn't really so in spite of these figures. Peihaps
wo are merely taking belter care of mental patients and
feeble-minded folk, getting into public institutions those who
foiniorly would have been cared for ineffectively at home
or left to shift for themselves.
P.ut are we ai resting and imprisoning people who for
merly would have been allowed at large? The difficulty in
convicting offenders doesn't give that impression but it is
possibly true. I'nless law enforcement is better than most
of us think it is, there has been a moral slump in this country,
i'lid it is probable that the prohibition violations have ac
counted for much of any increase in jail population. It
seems that people engage in the bootlegging business who
would not become criminals of any other kind.
The increase of those confined to institutions fur meptal
disorders may be a good sign. Confinement and stute super-
ision is necessary for such cases. They should not be al
lowed to propagate their kind, as they may readily do if al
lowed at large. Progressive state legislation throughout 'the
I. nd aie recognizing a real need for guarding against the in
crease oT degenerates. They aie passing laws to enfoice
siei ilizal ion when- that is an obvious necessity for the good
of society. It's the only way. The fittest will eventually
survive, perhaps, but. the process can be speeded and aided
by some human culling. Wo find that it pays in poultry, in
stuck. We'll find that it pays far more when applied to our
own deterioration problem.

What's A Friend
Good For
Any l iow!
Soincoiio said once that a friend is one who knows
all your faults and is still your friend. We think,
too, that a friend is someone who likes you well
enouph and is interested in you enough to' hear all
your troubles and joys and help you or congratulate
you, as the ease may require.
When you have financial success, no one is more
pleased to hear about it than your hanker. When
you have financial difficulty, no one is mure eager
to give friendly counsel ana aid than your hanker.
He's your financial friend. If you cannot go to him
with money difficulties or successes and immediate
ly secure his friendly attention and interest, some
thing must be wrong with him or, possibly, with
vou.
lie's not only glad but anxious to be your financial
counsellor. It's hi- reason for being it's what he's
good for, if he's good for anything.
Give your banker a chance to be a valuable friend
of yours. Uc may not always be able to lend you all
(he money you want all the time, but he'll be able to
tell you in good business reasons why, for your bene
fit as well as the bank's, he thinks it shouldn't be
done. And he'll always be able to .rive you the bene
fit of long financial experience, of business counsel
that should prove very much worthwhile. He is
truly anxious to help you realize, vour financial am
bitions m a way that will be safe, honorable ami enduring.
