THE COUNTY AsYLI1M,

In the Tuesday issue is published
the report of the board of control upon
the Wapello county asylum for the in
durable insane. 1t will be read with
much interest by the taxpayers OF this
county, who will not be much pleased
with the harsh criticisms it contains.
The board of control has assumed a
uniformly hostile attitude. toward the
county insane asylums, and the reports
so far issued by it, all of which have
been printed in the Courier. have re-
fiected the boards position. Some of
the things upon which the reports
have. laid stress seem exceedingly
small No taxpayer in Wapello conn-
ty wishes defects which really need
correction to be passed over unnoticed,
but at the same time no one is
pleased to see mountains made out of
mole-holes. The board of supervisors
and Steward Wilson will spare no pains
to make the Wapello county asylum
the best in the state, and will leave no
stone unturned to minister to the COM
fort and welfare of the poor inmates,
but neither these gentlemen nor the
taxpayers of the county wish to see
this fine new asylum closed in favor of
the state institutions.

with disgust. That jeweler, if he really
appreciated the effect of association in
advertising, instead of paying Tor that
advertisement, would put in a bill for
damages against the publisher.
We noticed in Des Moines daily
paper recently a large advertisement,
set in bold dis. ilay type, and which oc-
cupied nearly half page. The subject
matter treated of certain functional dis
eases in manner unfit TO go into any
home, and which should have had a
place only in strictly professional pub
LEGATIONS that 90 to physicians.
Without regard to moral considera-
tons. which are great, no reputable
newspaper can afford to publish such
advertisements. So far as the adver-
tiser generally is concerned, the dead
ly" effects OF association in the publica-
ton of his advertisements is an exceed
inglv important considerat ton, as bear
ing on the results which he has right
to expect from his advertising expendi-
lures

In telling how James Gray, young
man, stepped from the city editors
chair of the Minneapolis Tribune to
the Office of mayor, an eastern news
paper refers to him as "unlearned in
the technics of municipal affairs" The
point emphasized in the article is the
ability shown by Mayor Gray in Crap
ping with unfamiliar responsibilities.
That is curious comment, because an
experienced newspaper man, of all per-
SONS, ought to understand the tttech-
MICS of municipal affairs" It would
be difficult to find a person better in
formed concerning the duties of mayor
than the intelligent city editor of a
metropolitan newspaper. In the course
of his career he becomes familiar, not
only with the details of the city gov
eminent, but with all classes of people.
He must necessarily know something
about law, business and social ethics.
Above all, his sympathies are with
those things which contribute to the
progress of the community. Newspa-
per men are not often candidates for
Offices within the gift of the people,
but not f0S the reason that they are
devoid of the sort of understanding
necessary to the transaction of public
business or because they are not as
well fitted for the performance OF
official duties as men in other walks
of life. s5

THE CENTURY. CONTROVERSY.

The controversy over the question as
to when the twentieth century begins
has broken out anew because of a de-
cree from the pope of Rome, permit
ting the celebration of midnight mass
December 81, 1899, in which this eN-
preston occurs: Therefore, the year
1900, which, it is to be devontly hoped,
will usher in far more happy cen
tury, "etc. The expression is received
in some quarters as an official declara-
tion, to be accepted by all Catholics,
that the twentieth century begins with
the year 1900. To those who insist
that century is 100 years; that nine
teen centuries are 1900 years, and,
therefore, that the year, 1900 is the last
year of the nineteenth century, and
1901 the first year of the twentieth cen
fury, the subject seems so simple and
SO utterly devoid of any rational
ground for controversy as to merit no
serious consideration. Yet some. .elab-
crate arguments have been made to
prove that the twentieth century be-
gins with 1900, and the declaration OF
the pope will be regarded by such per
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-12-28

sons as confirmation of their conten-
ton. They may, perhaps, be excused
for their inaccuracy on the ground that
the nineteenth century has enough
great achievements and enough of hu-
man progress to its credit to easily re-
linqnish the year in controversy so that
the world may plunge at once into a
new century. It may be suspected that
the pope's anxiety to live in two cen
turtles had something to do with his
declaration that 1900 will usher in a
new century. But these sentimental
considerations do not change either the
fixed facts of arithmetic or the meas
uremenls of time, and it must remain
true that 100 years make century and
that nineteen centuries are not COM
pleted until 1900 years have passed into
the abyss of the past.

Senatorial skIrml.hing.

Marshalltown Times-R epublican The
gathering OF the political workers for
Senator Gear and his able contestant,
Cummins, at the state capital, arouses
a great deal Of speculation as to the
outcome of the contest, which prom
Uses to be an intensely vigorous one.
The great game of bluff has not yet
reached an exciting stage. The people
accept with incredulous interest the
various statements of the legislative
strength of the two aspirants. They
know that these must be taken with
MANY grains of allowance. While each
side accuses the other of being unable
to make an accurate showing of
strength and numbers TO prove its
claims, they both know that such a
display would be poor politics, because
it would subject their revealed friends
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-12-28

to the attack of the enemy. They pre-
fer to boast in general terms and work
quietly. 1t is time when the honor
and manhood of every member of the
legislature is on trial. as well as the
integrity OF every political worker en-
listed in the struggle. 1t is this stage
of senatorial struggles where, if dis
honest methods are in vogue, the adj
vocates of election bv the people get
their arguments. Iowa has witnessed
number of these severe senatorial
battles, vet the state has always been
distinguished for clean politics. 1t
ought to come out of the present
struggle with clean hands,.
