JUSTICE ALIENS LETTER.
STATE OF K KANSAS,
SuppEME COuRT
Topeka, Kansas, May 10, 1894.

r
Topeka, Kansas, May 10, lS94.)
To Gov. Percy Daniels, Girard, Kan
sas:
MY DEAR CoLoNEL:-I am very great
| ly disturbed about the political situation
and had hoped to have an opportunity
to have a talk with you. The time for
holding the county conventions to elect
delegates is SO near that thought best
to write you a line though / wished
quite as much to get your views con-
corning the situation as to impart my
own.
It seems to be generally conceded that
the drift of sentiment is all in favor of
the denomination of Governor Level
ling and the other state officers. If the
people were cognizant of the facts and
understood the kind of a campaign that
must necessarily follow, should have
no fears of serious mistakes being made
by the convention; but do not think
that the masses of the people have much
idea what is really going on. You know
there has been much talk about the Rd-
ministration of affairs in the larger cities
Within the past few days have learn
ed, not from the enemies, but from the
friends of the administration of ciroum-
stances showing that the administra-
ton of affairs in some. if not all, of the
cities of the first class, is thoroughly
corrupt, and that to the knowledge at
least of the governor. I have also been
told of circumstances which tended
very strongly to indicate that this con-
dition of affairs meets with his sanction.
1 cannot by letter undertake to put to-
gether the various things that 1 have
learned, without going out Of my way at
all to do SO, nor do wish at present to
show my authorities. In fact, I very
much prefer not to place myself in the
attitude of an accuser of anybody, and
what wish to suggest to you, and wish
all the people could know, is that very
serious charges are now made, and that
during the campaign we shall unques-
tionably have them to face. It is an
open secret that the prohibitory law has
not been enforced in the larger cities.
You know / am not, to draw it mildly,
prohibition crank, yet it is very easy for
me to see how readily corrupt practices
become associated with systematic dis-
regard and violation of law. Our OPP
ponents in the campaign can start out
with the clear and admitted proposition
that the prohibitory law has been gem
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1894-09-01

orally disregarded in the large cities.
fear, also, that they can easily show sys-
tematic boodling by the police depart
ments. How much evidence will then
be required to convince those of our
people who are especially interested in
the enforcement of the prohibitory law,
shat the administration is directly CON-
nected with all these practices? Worst
of all, I dread possible developments
showing direct connection of the exeou-
tive Office with these matters. We have
all the matters to defend that we can
possibly carry without having TO meet
charges of corruption.
Some of my Linn county friends have
written me, inquiring as to the practical
bility of placing your name at the head
of the ticket, and think the delegation
from our county wonld be very glad to
take that stand, though of course i do
not now know who the delegate wfIr
be, nor under what instructions they
will come here.
I hope theCrawford county delegation, >,
which played q very important part In
the Wichita convention, will not come
here with it's hands tied by instruOting
in favor of q denomination of the pres
ent state officers, but will be free to act
as seems best after consulting with
those from other parts of the state.
OF course / do not wish what / write
yoa to be made public, but haye no
objections to your showing this letter to
such of our discreet friends as you think
best, if any. Very truly yours,
9, III ALLEN. ,

EXPERT TESTIMONY,

BY this mail we are in receipt of O
letter from DR.. G. T. WILDER, who
was for eighteen years superintend-
emit of the Illinois Asylum for Idiotic
and Imbecile Youth, and for ten
years prior to that time assistant in
the New York Asylum. He is at
present in charge of a large institu-
ton of like character at Kalamazoo,
Mich. DIR. WILDER is the highest au-
thority in the United States on the
care and treatment of this class of
unfortunates, having devoted his
whole life to the work. His letter
under date of Kalamazoo, August
II, 1894, says:
AS to the practice of castrating
either feeble minded boys or the in
sane for mastur baton, it is unlawful
in most states and unjustifiable, and
the individuals practicing it should
be placed in the penitenttary just as
quick as possible for such atrocious
practices. It was meyer practiced in
institutions in this or other coun-
tries. Respectfully yours,
CT. WILBER.
This is the opinion of one of the
most eminent men on the care and
treatment of this class of unfortun-
ates in the world. Is, -

What reason DR.. Pitcher can have
for these wholesale mutilatlons is a
mystery to all with whom we have
talked. The principle underlying
the management of all public chart
ties ia that the most humane meth
DDS only should be employed. There
is no question but that castration
effectually cures the practices COM
planned of-but they can be pre-
vented with proper care, therefore
1t is the settled policy of all Boards
Of Charity to never employ the
knife when other methods are
available. In this instance, accord
ing to the testimony of DR.. Wiles,
the practices were easily prevented.
Castration would reduce the num-
Der of attendants necessary, SO it
may be that DR.. Pitcher was i'm

of their Endorsement?
