Where Shall It Be Located?

Where Shall 1t be Located!
Some time in July the Board of Con
troll will locate, in this state, a Home
Tor the feeble minded. That Home will
become one of the great institutions of
the state and will not only be a noble
work, but one that will place Wiscon-
sin on a high plane in the field of hui
manity. To the most casual observer
it is apparent that an institution in
Yhich hundreds will be cared for, the
location is of vast and far reaching
Importance. 1t is not right or in keep
ing with the spirit of the law creating
this Home that it's location should be
put up at auction like lot of damaged
goods, and in this way the Home be
forced to go to some place where the
surroundings might be undesirable in
many respects. This Home is entitled
to the most healthful and most fertile
spot in the state, regardless of what
big bonus may be offered by some 10
salities where the health conditions
and the prOductiveness of the soil are
rot inviting. The state could make
money by paying outright for an ideal
location rather than accept as a free
gift an undesirable place. This insti-
antion when once located will remain
FOR years and years. If the health con-
ditions be good; if the soil be fertile; if
the place be easy of access from any
part OF the state, these advantages will
be like a perpetual annuity, running to
the state, for all time.
The only interest this paper has in
the matter is the general good Of the
state and its Institutions, and with this
in view we have in mind an ideal spot
Tor the location Of this Home. One of
Wisconsin's fairest cities, wherein dwell
IA happy, cOntented, progressive and in
telligent people, a city unsurpassed for
healthfulness, easy of access, and in
every way especially adapted for the
location of an institution of this kind.
We refer 10 the beautiful little city of
RipOn, Fond du Lac county. Situated
IN the highest farming section west of
the Allegheny Mountains, the airs dry
and entirely free from malaria, conse-
9uently the people Of that locality are
almost exempt from the long line of
diseases common to less favored local.
lies. The city is easily reached by both
7he Northwestern and st. Paul lines
and is nearly in the center Of popula-
ton Of the state.
Fond du Lac county, although one of
she most popul0us in the state, has no
state institutions within its bOrdeaas
being another strong reason in the JUS
tice Of the case why Ripon should be
selected.
And 50 we might go on. AS we be-
fore stated the people of Kenosha
county have nothing in mind but the
general welfare, andWe believe that
this point is sufficient to warrant us in
urging upon the first districts repre-
sentative on the state board,
J. T. Heg, of Lake Geneva. the
Importance Of using his influence
in favo" of Ripon. In addi-
De" to his. Bro. Heg, we ask as
person favor that you do this. And
xith jhesc few words we submit the
ease /! the interests of one of Wiscon-
sins fairest daughters - charming
Ripon.
