Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1901-07-25

''There shall be paid from the State
treasury, in quarterly payments, and upon
the warrant of the comptroller, to the
treasurers of said hospitals, the sum Of one
dollar per week, towards the maintenance
and keep of each INDECENT patient in said
hospitals"
1t is evident from these provisions that
the expense of maintenance Of county
patients in the Trenton asylum shall not
exceed three dollars per week; that one
dollar per week shall be paid by the State,
and that the balance of the cost of mainten-
ance Of the county patients mot exceeding
two dollars) as well as the cost of clothing,
shall be paid by the counties from which
the patients are sent
There is no authority in this law, and
never has been, for any charge to be made
against the counties for one cent more than
the actual expense of the maintenance and
clothing of the patients.
Every dollar drawn from the counties in
excess of this cost of maintenance has been
pure extoration, without warrant of law,
and without justification in morals
And yet the practice is and has been to
charge the counties with maximum allow
ance Of two dollars per week for mainten-
ance, and the additional cost of clothing,
without any regard to the use to which the
money is put.
And, moreover, it has been the custom,
now boosted of by Manager Taylor, and
not deniable by any other manager or
official, that this sum has been sufficient to
provide for the extravagant maintenance,
not only of the patients, but of the institu-
ton, as we'll as for the repeated erection of
magnificent additions and residences, not
contemplated by the law and not authorized
by the legislature.
From this beginning Of extortion it is not
difficult to trace the waste and extravaganza
Of large salaries to plant and favored
officials; the unrestricted purchase Of sup
plies at prices sufficiently high to attract
the greed of the sellers; the cliques and
cabbals for the distribution Of the spoils !
the extravagant expenditures for luxuries J;
and the consequent degradation of the
service and supplies.
The stream cannot rise higher than its
source, and the source Of the asylum
is rotten.

STOPS FAITH CURE TEST.
Judge Tuthiil. OF Chicago. summariiy Takes
q Crippled Child from Its Christian
Science Mother.

Chicago, June 1S.-Christian science
treatment for sprained ankle came
before Judge Tuthill, of the juvenile
court, for his judicial opinion. His
verdict was that Albert Chamberlain
should be taken away from his
parents, who had treated him for his
injury after the method of Mrs. Eddy.
He was sent to the crippled children's
home. The testimony showed that
the boy had been two years under the
treatment, during which time the in
jured leg had shrunk until now it is
shorter than the other. The mother,
who is a member of Christian sci
ence church, asserts that the failure
of the remedy is due to unbelief and
adverse criticism of neighbors, which
disturbed her mental equipoise. There
is doubt as to whether Judge Tut
hills action will be allowed to go I'M
questioned by the Christian scientists
of the city. He held that the neglect
of the parents in not furnishing med
ical attendance was of so decided a
nature as to warrant him in taking
the boy from their care.

ATTRACTING NOTICE.
Experiment in Kansas That May
Revolu.ionizs Beef Industry.
"Baby Reef" Can BE Produced on Half tho
Grain That Other Beef Can Be
Alfalfa and Soy Beans
Feature.

Manhattan, Kan, June 11.-An eS-
pertinent in the production of "baby
beef recently completed by Prof. IL.
NJ. Cottrell at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college is attracting wide atten-
ton, particularly among western
packers and beef producers. 1t is
predicted ut the college that the eX-
pertinent will revolutionize the pres
ent methods of beef production
among farmers with limited pastures
within the next five years.
Prof. Henry, an authority recog-
nized throughout the world on beef
production, finds in a large number Of
experiments that it takes 1000 pounds
of grain and 500 pounds OF roughage
to make the average steer gain 100
pounds.
Prof. Cottrell, in his recent eXperi-
ment with "baby beef" finds that it
only takes from 223 to SOC pounds of
grain and 40 to 613 pounds of rough
age to put 100 pounds of meat on q
calf. In other words; that the same
number of pounds of ''baby beef" can
be produced on half the grain at the
utmost that other beef can he. "Baby
beef" brings just as much on the
market as other beef.
But "baby beef" cannot be success
fully produced without alfalfa or soy
beans. They go hand in hand. If
farmer hasn't any alfalfa or soy
beans he had better keep out OF the
"bahy beef" business. The cost of
production of "haby beef" is so much
less than the cost of producing other
beef. however, that it will encourage
the rapid increase in the acreage of
alfalfa and soy beans. AS between
alfalfa and soy beans Prof. Cottrell
says alfalfa is the better. 1t takes
two years though to get crop of
alfalfa. Soy beans can be used first.
1t only takes 90 days to grow that
crop.

DR.. Tubbs Refuses to Believe That All the

Salina, Kan, June S.-The students.
Of the Kansas Wesleyan university
are in rebellion because the trustees.
refused to re-elect Prof. Frank D.
Tubbs to the chair of natural sciences
on account of his alleged hereticai
views. The annual commencement
address to the graduates was given
by Gov. Stanley, and Immediately
afterwards, by preconcerted move
ment, the students, who are unit
on the side of DIR. Tubbs, took con-
troll of the exercises and demanded
q public explanation of the trustees
action. Fiery speeches were made by
q half dozen students and minister's
An effort was made to appease the
students, but they refused to be ap--
peased until the trustees agreed to-
meet their committee and listen to-
their demands for the reinstatement
of DIR. Tubbs. His alleged heresy con-
sis..- of radical belief in evolution
and in denying that all of the Bible
is inspired. Other ministers OF the
Northwest Kansas conference share
his views, and it is believed that this
is the beginning of clash between
the orthodox and the liberal elements
of the Methodist church of the west
DR.. Tubbs is an associate editor of
the Central Christian Advocate, the
official organ of the Methodist church
in the middle west.
Rev. DR.. Daniel McGurl, of jewell
City, said: "Dr. Tubbs is an evolution
list, and he is simply teaching the
same things that are taught in North
western university and the principal
Methodist theological schools. There
are n lot OF old fogies among the
ministers of this conference who want
to deny the right of man to think
for himself. For my part, propose
to think for myself and say what /
think. They have been after me the
same as they have after DIR. Tubbs,
and I propose to leave this confer
ence. If can't get n transfer to suit
me, I will go on the lecture plat
