Republican County c
The Insane ASYLUM.


The Board of Control has adopted a
resolution permitting Pierce County
to build an asylum for the chronic in
sane. We do not understand what
right the Board has to take any such
action before the submission to it of a
definite proposition by the county.
The law seems quite explicit on that
point. We still think that the Board
ought to discourage the speculation
on the part of any county at the ex-
pense of the neighboring counties in
this matter of construction of asy-
lums, and should insist that, if agree
able to Pierce county, it should be
permitted TO join with ST. Croix in an
asylum for both. st. CroiX county
has as yet submitted no proposition to
the Board for its action. Whatever
has been done has been preliminary to
such action only, and any expression
on the part Of the Board can mean
nothing more than the individual
views of members. Pierce county
does not need an asylum accommo-
dating one hundred patients which is
the number required to conduct it on
the most economical basis, and being
hemmed i'm by three counties all hay
ing asylums, it would certainly seem
bad public policy for the Board of
Control to grant us in the future, as
they say they will, tie right to con-
struct separate asylum. Then the
Board may change its membership,
and We have no guarantee that a fu-
ture Board will stand by the promises
of the present. Pierce county ought
not to ask the privilege to speculate
at the expense of other counties. All
should be treated alike and the ex-
pense reduced to the minimum. We
doubt the good public policy of en-
couraging one county. because it is
given the opportunity to do so, to I'M
load upon its neighbors the burden of
supporting its unfortunates. The
law does not contemplate it, and, if
no joint asyluns have been built here
tofore, it is high time that better
methods prevail.

]. All things, in all time, in ali space,
in all circumstances, are yours.
,. We, with all your possessions and

All This and More.

All This and More.
Nasty wrote the following indict-
ment ten years ago. 1t remains true
to-day:
The brewers and distillers and
their lieutenants, the saloonkeepers.
stand in opposition to every class
that makes any pretension to good
ness or even decency. Their
business is opposed to everything in
the way of good morals or of good
order.
1t is the one business which has
decentralization as its basis, which
lives and thrives only upon vice. 1t
kills out of a man every good impulse
before that man is valuable to it,
and the customer becomes valuable
exactly in proportion as he becomes
bad.
1t is a business which is at the
bottom of all the political corruption
of the country, the tool that has
always been used by INSCRIPTIONS
politicians from "Boss" Tweed to
the very last bargainer in politics.
1t is the business that is used for
anything that is bad and demoraliz-
ing and which has never been
associated in any way with any good
object or cause.
1t is a business which is a drag
upon progress, the enemy of civiliza-
ton and the bar to improvement.
1t is the business that is answer
able for a vast majority of the
speculations and embezzlements and
frauds by men in positions of trust.
1t is the business that sweeps
down every year thousands of young
men, transforming them from the
decent to the disreputable.
1t is the business which no one
dares assert that it does no harm,
the only dispute about which is as to
the amount of harm it accomplishes.
And this business, this Pandora's
box, insists that the law shall not
touch it. This aggregation of crime
insists that it shall go on unchecked,
unrestrained and unregulated. And
more than that, 1t assumes to make
the laws and insolently asserts to
control the law-making power.
Based upon vast capital and with
an army of voters all in its interest
and controlling a still greater army
of voters by the agency of. appetite,
it has taken possession of states as it
long has of cities.
1t is undermining our institutions
and destroying the country. There
is but one way to meet it. There is
no use in temporizing or compromis-
ing with it. The issue is made up.
We have either to submit to its
diction or kill it. If the people are
wise they viii kill it. No matter
what it costs, the rum power must
be destroyed. 1t has grown to too
great proportions now, and it is
time that it be killed. Pulverize the
rum power!
