Poor Farm Again,

We understand that the board Of sup
ervlsors will be petitioned TO grant auth
ority to the superintendents Of the poor
10 purchase a poor farm. 1t is not at all
likely the board will taBe definite action
upon such proposition withoutdue con-
s!deraton, and II this is done there can
be little doubt that the petition will not
be granted.
The experience OF nearly all sparseiy
settled counties which have adopted the
county poor farm system will show that
it Is failure, and the causes are not tar
to reach. The cost Of purchasing and
equipiDg such a farm is a considerable
item 10 be taken into consideration. but
1t is nothing in com parison 10 the expense
Of maintenance afterwards.
In counties of large population it is all
right TO have poor farm. A large num-
Der Of people wholly depending upon char
ity can be taken care Of on awell conduct
ed farm nearly as cheaply as can small
because large proportion Of the neces-
sary eatables are raised upon the farm.
10 looking over the list of people Who'll
ly depending upon the county for SUBJ
sistence it will be found very small, and
OF this small number very few II any are
permanent paupers. Nearly all only re-
Quire temporary relief, The great mai
ortiy OF those receiving aid from the
county get from 80 to SO per month. Will
anyone attempt to show that these could
be more cheaply cared for Oh poor
farm? N
A widow with a family Of children may
be able to do something to help support
herself andfamily, but is unable to sup
port them entirely. She gets assistance
from the county 10 the extent Uf SIS, $40
or Sis per month according to her needs.
Will anybody attempt 70 argue that it
would be cheaper TO maintain the entire
family on poor farm? Even II 1t were
cheaper would such course be advise
able? In our opinion II would be posit-
lively brutal to present TO such a person
the alternative Of going to the poor house
or foregoing aid from the county.
II the board OF supervisors will look
over the list Of those who are receiving
aid from the county they will find that
three-fourths of them are being partially
supported either by their own efforts or
by relatives. and that they could not be
cared for as cheaply in poor-house; and
the number OF those who are not being
helped IN this way is so small that 1t
would not pay to establish a farm for
their support.

How the Iron Port ''got onto' the fol-
lowing we are not Informed, but it is
pretty good one on DR.. McElveen, a ;or-
mer resident Of L'Anse, so we reproduce
IL:
The following story is told OF DR.. Nc
Elveen, the jolly "pill pedder" of Even:
II seems the doctor Is politician of the
democratic persuasion, and like all good
democrats, has had hankering for some
time, OF serving his country IN an official
capacity. About year ago therefore
he was elected as justice Of the peace,
aud at once assumed the judicial ermiue
and dignifed look Of conserva;o- OF the
morals OF the good people of Even. The
first case brought before the doctor in
his judicial capacity. was woodsman
who had been arrested charged with as
sault and battery upon another Lumber
jack" When tn he culprit was brought
before the magistrate, the doctor adjust-
ed his glasses, assumed dignitied look,
read the complaint and asked the prision-
er whether he pleaded guilty or not
guilty. mot guilty. says the prisoner.
This seemed TO arouse the Doctors ire,
as ne as well as the spectators knew the
fellow had committed the offense. You
are blank blank liar" says the court,
''you are guilty. you know you licked
that man." WELL" says the prisoner,
adjourn this case and give me a chance
to get a lawyer" "You can't have a
lawyer in this court" says the doctor,
I'VE can run own law shop, besides there
Is no lawyer In Even" "Well then I'll
appeal this case" said the prisoner.
you'll shut up. or I'll peel your nose
for you" shouted the doctor. "You
will go to jail thirty days, or pay ten
dollars, and ysu will pay 1t id quick
TOO. want you todistinctly understand
that this court was selected TO protect the
morals and dignity of the people Of Even
and am going to do 1t too, or I'll rip
spoke clear out OF the constitution Of the
United States.nN

The base ball fever has taken deep root
In L'Anse, and 1t is not confined to the
Coxey's, Tarheels, Rivals, Bachelors or
Benedicts. The pext notable battle to be
fought with bats and balls will be be-
tween the Fats and Leans. The DAnse
correspondent of the Mining Journal thus
describes the preparations being made
for the sanguinary contest:
The most thrilling event OF the season
will take place on the ball grounds on
Saturday June l6, when the Fats will
cross bats with the Leans In fight to a
finish. Umpires Malcolm Wallace of the
Fats and Ed. Mack OF the Leans must see

fore Judge Mason. A mask for the Fat

Changes in the system of Insurance


Last November the insurance COM
panies doing business In Michigan adopt
ed the policy Of requiring on all manu-
featuring risks, insurance to the extent
of so per cent OF the full value Of the
property. A great kick was raised but
in January the so per cent clause was
made applicable to ell mercantile risks.
So great was the opposition to this arbi-
trary clause that an order was recently
issued to the effect that after June lst II
would apply only TO risks on lumber,
country stores and electric light and
power plants. The order will be great
relief to local insurance agents through
out the state.

In case the board of supervisors should
decide not to establish acounty poor farm
would IL hot be advisable for each town
ship to take care OF It's own poor? There
is no good reason why the county should
take care Of the poor, unless county
poor farm is established, and there are
several good reasons why the burden
should fall upon the several townships.
One is that such system is more equita-
ole to the taxpayers. The proposition
is worth consideration at all events.

Our erudite highway commissioner
staggered the editor OF the SENTINEL, the
other day, with tie following conundrum:
If it costs Ss to bury horse, how much
would it cost TO bury an elephant ?" We
sized it up for first class funeral but
acknowledged our inability to furnish
the commissioner with definite estimate.
Perhaps someone with a penchant for
figures can give the desired information.
The chance is still open.
