A Plea for Humanity

The State Board of Charities was in
the city Saturday on its regular monthly
visit to the asylum. 1t is the official
governing body of the charities of the
state. To it, and to it alone, can the
people look for the protection OF the
helpless wards of the state. Therefore,
In behalf of the unfortunate girls
whom the state has received into its
care as sacred trusts,
In behalf of the poor boys who have
been mutilated in violation of law and
Of precedent,
In behalf of the good name of Kansas
and the fair reputation of her people,
In behalf OF public and official de-
cency,
The Courier demands that the afro,
cious practices at the asylum be stopped,
and the perpetrator thereof be dealt
with as the law, backed by outraged
public conscience, gives remedy.
Mrs. Mary E. Lease is president OF
the board. She is a mother, and as
such, the people look to her for prompt
and vigorous measures i'll these
premises.
Will the rights and demands of the
public be needed, or will they be ruth
lessly trampled upon and ignored?
We hope and trust the board will dc
it's duty-not as politicians, but as pub.
lie officers, performing a sworn duty, to-
ward all the people of all parties.-Win
