The three Chicago ministers of the Gospel, who
acted board Of arbitration in settling the recent
strike of the employees of the Union Stock yards,
evidently believe in the Scriptura Injunction "Ask
and ye shall receive" Their abors covered period
of 4S hours each, and each member of the board
presented bill to the amount of ST. 600 for his
services. The engineers of the stock yards had made
demand for the union scale of 373 cents per hour;
but the talented members of the board decided that
their services were worth but thirty cents per hour
and made their award upon that basis
One cannot help but admire the grim humor
with which the union, upon receiving the bills as
presented by the members of the board, turned the
tables by deciding that their genius entitled them to
the same recompense that awarded to the striking
engineers viz thirty cents per hour, and presented
them with the munifcent of $144O each.
The question which presents itself to our mind
is this: By what process of reasoning, did these
men arrive at the conclusion that man who per-
forms both mental and manual labor, is entitled to
thirty cents per hour, while the individual, who in
his selfconceit causes his mental faculties to make
two or three revolutions per hour is entitled to
$20.833 per hour for that space of time? We have
every respect for the clergy; but strongly of
the opinion that the average skilled engineer or
mechanic is possessed of intellect equal to that of
the average minister professional True, it
may not be developed along the same lines; but is
certainly as useful in establishing higher order of
civilization.
We are not questioning the justice of their award
for we do not know the circumstances surrounding
the which led up to hedemand of the strikers
for an increase of pay But take off hats to the
brszen effrontery and consummate gall with which
they imply that their services are of such superior
nature that they should receive nearly seventy times
as much per hour, for the time actually devoted to
work, as the laborer receives.
We sometimes find the man with 10-k intellect
and gold filed education who thinks he's the
king bolt of the wagon just because he's allowed to
trot along behind.

AMONG all savage and barbarous races the
physically weak individuals are forced to the wall
They are the victims Of the inexorable law under
which only the fttest survive. Where they not
actually exterminated by the community as was the
in Sparta at the time of Lycurgus and is the
rule among of the savage tribes today, the
conditions surrounding them such that they
perish through their inability to provide for
themselves It is only among comparatively civilized
and enlightened peoples that the decrepit, the aged
and the infrm are provided for and protected by
their kindred and the community. Naturally where
such condition exists, bodily illness is equal to
disgrace And the belief prevalent in most civilized
countries until relatively late date that disease is
direct punishment meted out by the Almighty,
probably originated in the prmeval instinct which
leads savages to kill the weak members of the tribe
in order that the action of the rest may be un-
hampered. This belief in the direct nterpostion
of Providence in human affairs was generally ac-
cepted until quite recently. In fact, it not
til the eighteenth century that disease and disgrace
ceased to be synonymous terms among very religious
people
But this age does not condemn man because
he is i'll. In the ma iority of it commserates
with him, and with one exception sick person is
pretty sure of the sympathy of the community The
single exception is ir the of who has be-
come insane and been committed to an asylum
Where insanity is concerned all our primitive ideas
seem to have remained. It cannot be denied that
the average person regards who has been
legally declared insane about par with
habitual drunkard petty larceny thief This
feeling of covert antagonsm for who in justice
should receive nothing but sympathy is in part
heredity instinct and in part due to the system
have adopted for committing patients to the insane
hospitals system that appears to be universally
condemned by all who have studied the question
Under the law any person suffering from mind
diseased and wishing to gain admttance to the public
hospital must subject himself to trial before a
probate judge before he can gain his end He must
be brought into open court in the presence of
crowd of spectators and reporters and there be put
through his paces his vagaries must be thoroughly
aired for the enlightenment of those present. and he

is not to be wondered at that the victim is scoed at

that very large percentage OF those
admitted to the hospitals and asylums are perma-
nently cured in course of time, while many of the
cases that have got beyond human aid could have
been cured had the treatment commenced in time.

for considerable percentage of the ncurable cases.

America have prosecuted vigorous campaign of
education" in favor of more rational view Of in
sanity, writing and speaking the subject when
ever occasion offered to do So They are advocat-
ing the establishment of "psychopathic hospitals"
or hospitals for the temporary treatment of the in
saneto be operated in connection with the ordinary
city and county hospitals, believing that as the
public becomes more familiar with the malady and
it's treatment it's attitude toward large class of the
afflicted ones will change.
To the absolutely false impressions regarding
insanity and the public institutions for the treat
ment of the insane can be traced almost all the
suicides and perhaps half the homicdes which occur
annually There can be little doubt but that the
victim of the disease is the first to be cognizant of
it's existence but he feels that is necessary to hide
all knowledge of it from his fellows as he would hide
q shameful family secret If his trouble were not
commonly regarded disgrace, and if he did not
have to go through the ordeal of trial before he
could enter hospital the chances that he would
go of his own will to one of the state institutions
and in short time come out a we'll man. Instead
of which he feels that his secret must be kept at any
cost, and it sometimes is kept until some awful
tragedy reveals it,
Sometimes his affiction has become apparent to
his friends and relatives and they also do everything
they to hush it up until it is too late when they
tell the reporters that she has not been himself for
several months" This sort of thing occurs fire.

In plea for more rational public sentiment
toward the insane and the state hospitals for their
delivered before the last conference of Charities
and Correction DR.. H. A. Tomlinson, superintendent
of the ST. Peter State Hospital, said: Gin my ex-
perience no seems to be afraid of the insane
who has never been legally declared SO. Nor does
his standing in the community, or that of his family
seem to be affected. Consequently the individual
himself will struggle long after he feels that he is
losing his hold on himself, and his family will sub
NIT to any hardship or danger rather than admit,
to themselves that they have insane relative
They come to believe that the horror they feel
toward the idea of sending their relative to hospital
for the insane is because they dread that he will be
abused or not properly treated whereas their real
horror and dread is of the necessity for the public
admission of the fact that they have an insane rea-
tive"

is something reformers might profitable strive for

ODDS AND ENDS.

It is possible for every man and
every mans future to become an
improvement upon the past
tits to be hoped that the science
of plant grating will soon reach
a point where strawberries and
cream can be produced from the
same plant the year round and in
any latitude.
In the axiomatical column of
the Psmecou Herald, which visited
my cell today, there, are numerous
sound practical thoughts. Here
are couple ef the paragraphs:
with both love and learning it
is noisiest where it is shallowest,
but deepest where it is dumb.
Action is the only allowable elo-
quence in the expression of either.
Scatter theoretical truth in the
front door yard, but SOW the farm
land with practical truth; the
former will make beautiful flower
beds, but the latter will produce a
golden harvest"
Some. people seem to possess the
ability to SO control their feelings
and outward appearances as to
bear all kinds of troubles and
affections lightly, while others
become completely broken down
and ''go all to pieces over ordi-
nary everyday triHes. There are
as great differences between people
in these matters as are to be found
between them in any other -partic-
ular. Most of us have our share
of troubles, some of us two OF
three shares and in many in
stances when misfortunes have
multiplied SO rapidly for a time
that we think there is no room for
any more we suddenly reach a
point where SO many new big ones
confront us that it seems that our
real troubles have only just begun
that if those of the past were try
ing, the new ones facing us are
unbearable.
Mabel Lindley, of Hiawatha,
Kansas, has borne her share of
af1iction for the past four years
and during this period has made of
herself shining example well
worthy of the emulation of the
tens of thousands of giddy girls
who acquire good education and
make no attempt to apply their
learning to any practical use.
About four and a half years ago
Miss Lindley graduated from the
Hiawatha high school and shortly
after her graduation she was
stricken with a malady in the
nature Of slowly developing paraly-
sis. Physicians seemed powerless
to check its progress and she
gradually grew worse. But in
stead of despairing this young girl
determined to make the best of it
and do something to bring results
out of a shattered life.
At first she painted pictures and
later, when the disease began
to affect her eyes, compelling her
to give up painting, she taught
Greek and Latin in the schools.
Then when continued failing eye
sight compelled her to give up
teaching she determined to make
herself useful in some other way.
So with sister to write for her
she began composing short
sketches of home life, verses, etc.
Her sister sent this work to news
papers and periodicals, but for
months and months it yielded
little results. Young Mabel, in
the meantime having become al

NEW TERM OF
SUPREME COURT

A new session of the Supreme Court
was opened yesterday morning and will
continue for the remainder of the week
During the day the court disposed of
the case of Oahu College vs. Tax AS
SCISSOR; and the Territory of Hawaii VS..
A. Fernandez. The latter case is a test
of the law for protection against ex-
plosives- The defendant was arrested
for storing kerosene. and was fined for
keeping explosives in greater quantity
than allowed by law. The question ar
gued before the Supreme Court, was as
to whether or not turpentine is. an ex-
plosive.
Among the important cases on the
calendar for the session are the Ferris
and Dengiro murder cases. The Motley
will case is also on the calendar.
The case of Territory VS.. Aki is to
be submitted on briefs.

NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.

A Preparation Discovered That Will
Destroy the Dandruff Germ.
For some time it has been known
that dandruff is caused by germ that
digs up the scalp into little white
flakes, and by sapping the vitality of
the hair at the root, causes falling hair,
and, of course, finally badness. For
years there have been all kinds Of hair
stimulants and scalp tonics on the mar
ket' but there has been no permanent
cure for dandruff until the discovery
of a preparation called Newbro's Herpi-
eide, which destroys the danrduff germ.
Destroy the cause. the effect viii cease
to exist. Kill the dandruff germ and
you'll have no itching scalp. no falling
hair.
