A GREAT EVIL.

How On Office without a Salary Can Be
Made ProitabIe-A Reform Needed
TOPEKA, Kan, April 6.-The investi-
CATION of the scandals charged against
the Topeka hospital for the insane,
while it will be expensive, may lead to
some suggestions of value. A member
of the committee said to-day that q
root of the evil was the mileage au-
thorized by the law. Take away that
provision of the law and positions on
the state board of charitable in
situations would not be regarded
as political spoils- Only men of
ample means would accept the
responsibilities of the place and the
governor would be free to make his
own selections unaided by the politi-
clans The spirit of the law creating
the board, he said, was that its places
should be more of honor than of profit.
