Mt. Pleasant Inmates Not
Well Cared For.
CHARGE MADE BY PAPER
News Says Unfortunates Are III Fed
and Lays the Blame at the Door of
the Iowa Board of Control, in Hot
Editorial.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct 30-C. F. Rogers,
publisher of the Mt Pleasant News,
and an appointee of Governor A. B.
Cummins as oil inspector for this dis
trict, in his paper last evening dealt
the Iowa board of control body blow
for what Mr.. Rogers terms it's parsi-
mony in dealing with the inmates of
the asylum for the insane at this
place. Mr.. Rogers charges the board
with neglect in providing the unfortu-
mates in the asylum with proper food.
MI. Rogers compares the treatment
accorded the insane with that obtain
ing in the penitentiary at Fort Maids
on. In hot editorial in the News last
evening Mr.. Rogers says:
The exposure of the neglect of the
board of control in caring for the pa
tients at the hospital here has result
ed in wide spread of inquiry as to the
methods adopted at the asylum for
the care of the patients. So far as the
News can find out, for the hospital Off
cials are painfully reluctant in i'm
parting information, delay in repairing
the heating system is entirely due to
the cheese pairing system of the board
of control. That the repairs were to
be made was known last spring, but
most of the delay has been caused by
the senseless waiting and postponing
of the purchase of supplies until the
market fell off a little or competitive
bidding saved few cents. Then
instead of employing steamftters an
attempt was made to save more mon
ey by employing patients to do the
work Under the supervision of the local
mechanical force. The result has Ger
taiDly been a saving on material, on
wages and also on the coal pile, fol
steam was not turned on until Tues
day afternoon, and for the last two
weeks the wards have been uncom-
Portable and the inmates miserable
from chilling. There has been an at
tempt on the part of some of the off
cials to palliate matters by claiming
that the wards, while deprived of heat
were not uncomfortable, but many at
tendants refute this statement most
emphatically, and assert that to theil
own personal knowledge the sufferins
on the part of many of the patients
especially the older ones, was painful
to witness.
New light has been thrown on the
food furnished the patients, both as
to quality and quantity and if half thai
is told is true the board of contro
in its efforts to make a record OF
economy is perpetrating great wrons
upon the helpless hundreds who are
held in restraint. An insane asylum
is not penitentiary. Patients are mo-
criminals. A bill al fare for the in
mates at Ft Madison is not the thins
for the inmates of the hospital at Mt
Pleasant The people of this state viii
not commend any board of contro
that whittles down a bill of fare tt
three and half cents per meal fol
the year round. One hundred and five
thousand dollare have been appropri
ated for the asylum here. A goodl,
share of it should go into decent ap-
parel and decent wholesome food fol
the patients.

... - WARREN MINI.
DEAR S1R:-I have posted myself
somewhat on the question under dis
cussion at our meeting for the rea-
son that ii has entered largely into
the congressional campaign now
being waged by the several candi-
dates before the people. have
lived and voted in the state OF Min
nesota for the past twenty years and
have ever taken considerable interest
IN politics and the issues they have
been presenting as an argument for
political preference, but must say
that in all that time I have never
known of a campaign in which such
an attempt was made to gam sup
port, by Misrepresentation and by
sailing under false colors, as we see
in the present congression campaign.
The several candidates appear to
realize that the most important
question and the question OF most
vital issue with many, if not all, OF
the residents OF the Red River Valley,
is the question OF Drainage, and it is
amusing to note the credit that
some of the candidates give them
selves for the valuable services
which they have rendered in promo
ting better drainage in the Red
River Valley.
Mr.. Valentine wishes people to un-
derstand that he is the father OF the
whole drainage scheme, that the
plan OF drainage and the first idea
that drainage was necessary in the
Red River Valley was developed by
him.
