Cured, but such things happen occa-
sionally even in state asylurns try to
be very careful, but once in a while
We get attendants who are careless
Probate Judge Dolman has taken a
step toward preventing any more cases
like that of Lulu Ebert. The law pro-
videS that the probate judge shall ap-
point a guardian for insane people no
matter whether they have property or
not. He says that he proposes to fol-
low out the instructions in the law
though it has never been done.
when I send case to BedwelPs aSy
lum,'' said Judge Dolman, Il will ap-
point Bedwell the guardian of the per
son. Then if anything happens L Will
have some one to hold responsible. 1
know nothing of this particular occur
renee
Patients are sent to private asylums
ON the order of the probate judge. In
this case Probate Judge Wood was in
office. In insane cases the state pays
so cents a day to keep the patients but
in imbecile cases the county has to pay
the expense.
Soon after the unfortunate Lulu Ebert
became a mother she was taken to the
poor farm by Poor Commissioner Hale
and she will be kept there hereafter be-
cause the state makes no allowance for
her.
Mr.. Hale who took the child to the
Orphans Home said today that the babe
had every appearance of being perfect
ly sound. Il have a great deal of that
to do said he, ''but 1 do not believe 1
have ever taken such a beautiful child
to the home. 1t seemed to be perfect
ly healthy and sound
For ages private asylumS have furn-
ished facts upon which tales of horror
have been founded. The state should
provide a place for all these unfortu-
nate creatures They should not be
trusted to the care of an individual who
is responsible to no one. Insane people
seldom tell tales and the keepers of pri-
Vate asylumS know it. Private insane
asylums are under the inspection of no
state board of charities. They are law
unto themselves. 1t is a scandal on the
state of Kansas that ii does not enlarge
its insane asyluns faster in order to
take care of all the insane.

QUEER CHET LONG.
Wants to Stay in Politics and Snubs
Newspaper Men.

Chester l. Long will never be elected
governor, congressman, nor anything
else. He hasn't sense enough to talk to
newspaper men. When Mr.. Long comes
up to Topeka, being something of a poll
itician in his district, he must of course
be interviewed" because that is part
of the newspaper business. Every
newspaper man hates to be detailed to
this duty, because Long is nearly al
ways pompous and impolite. Nobody
wants to interview him any more than
he wants to be interviewed.
If Mr.. Long doesn't like to be pumped
for political news, why doesn't he retire
to private life? Reporters never per-
sistently chase private citizens who are
out of politics, for news.I 1t seems alb
Surd that any man should take up a
public career and then expect to be let
alone by the reporters. Chester /.
Long no doubt hates to shake hands
and converse with scores of voters in
whom he has no personal interest.
Newspaper reporters likewise are not
fond of talking to stupid, uninteresting
people that they don't like; but they
have to do it because it is part of their
business, just it is part of Longs
business to shake hands with the
voters.
Personally, reporters and correspond
ents have no interest in Chester I.
Long. When he insults them, he only
shows how little he understands the
requirements of a political leader Talk
to the newspaper men or get out of
politics if you don't like it.
