friends of Stanley have been claiming the representatives
from Sumner county.
The Eagle few days since made editorial note Oh inc

returns are all in and the result has been made known
Jeres' constituents are Overwhelmingly for Long Out
Of hundred and seventx letters of instructions or
of preferences received four hundred and fifty ask him
to vote for Long.
The following telegram, received by the Eagle, yes

JAG ASYLUM PROPOSED.
Following The Iowa Plan Adopted Two
Years Ago.

Topeke, Dec. 15.-Representative W.
S. Finley, of Franklin county, will try
to get a law through the legislature
this winter providing for the treatment
of inebriates. II think the Iowa topper
law would be good thing for Kansas
to adopt" said he. Confirmed inc
briates should be looked after. The
Iowa law has proven successful. 1t was
passed two years ago. Under it, the
board of control of state institutions
there has set aside a department in
each insane asylum to be known as the
department for the detention and
treatment of dipsomaniacs, incbriates
and persons addicted TO the use of NOR
phine or other narcotics.
''While Kansas is prohibition state,
it has its share of old topers. l under
stand from druggists that the con-
sumption of morphine, cocaine and
other narcotics is increasing rapidly.
Something should be done to stop it.
A law similar to the Iowa law, 1 be-
lieve, would do it. The confirmed
inc briates could be cured. The thought
of the bare possibility of being sent to
an asylum would deter young people
from the use of narcotics.
