the fall. but the pleasant weather conditions and
the evident delight Of the patients in their open

The novelty Of the experiment and its great
potential value 70 psychopathists the world over
have aroused a great deal of interest in the
farm among the experts. 1t is the first expert

known in the whole country. and the visitors

were many Among them were Or. Adoph

president Of the State Commission in Lunacy;
W. L. Parkhurst also Of the State Commission
and Mary Vida Clarke. acting secretary Of the

such a plan. II the necessary appropriations

to the farm only after long persuasion, and re
NAMED there for several weeks. She is now at
home living with her husband attending TO her
household duties, completely cured That is an
extreme example, but there were many others
where the benefit of the outdoor treatment was
emphatically shown"
The only patients received at the farm were
those afflicted with mildly acute forms of mental
disease No restrictions were placed upon their
conduct except that they told where the
boundaries of she estate ended, and were re-
quested not 70 pass beyond. They were like
children, and with few exceptions obeyed their
attendants implicitly. Some Of them had never
been on trolley cars before, and shivered and
hesitated as one often sees a dog DO under
similar circumstances. Some had never seen the
lake, and one woman said after gazing At It
in rapt attention for a long time: Who would
have thought they could have put all that water
there and kept it from running outY
The patients time was kept as busiy occupied
as possible Some were set to making gardens;
other brought up the wood from the beach ana
from the woods for the fires; others helped pitch
the hay and thrash grain. The rule, however.
was pretty closely adhered to: The patients
were allowed to do, whenever possible, what
they seemed best able or pleased 70 90. The
same system was observed in arranging the
pastirnes and sports. Baseball, sailing. fishing
and bathing were the most popular and were
enjoyed to the utmost. Long walks in the sun
shine across country. gentle exercise upon the
broad lawns made the days pass pleasantly for
the women. When the time came for the
patients to return and give place to others,
there were many regrets heard, and in some
instances the objection was so forcible that the
patient was allowed to remain a little longer
The cases of violence or infractOn of the rules
were surprisingly infrequent, when one remem-
bers that the patients were not restricted further
than by word of mouth. In only two instances
did the outbreak cause apprehension, and in
these no harm was done One consisted in
patient escaping from the house and disappear

The Isle Of Pines.

We have waited patiently to hear
some announcement by the admins
tration OF the political, or any other
reasons 1t may have for giving up
the Isle of Pines to Cuba The latter
country has no right or title to it OF
any color The island was expressly
reserved from the territory recognized
as Cuban in the treaty Of Paris. Its
future status was to be settled by
treaty, ii is true, but not because of
any proprietary right to ii inhering in
the new nation OF Cuba. but because
time was needed to determine the
past status OF the island under Span
ish dominion and what might pc the
future interest OF the United States in
owning and controlling it,
The island is now owned more
largely by Americans than by any
other proprietors of its lands, mines
and quarries The progressive inhab
itants are largely Americans who have
gone there and made homes they
hoped would be permanent and main
tanned under American Jurisdictions
In doing all this settlement and de-
veIopment work they We're encouraged
by the advice of many political and
official persons who. doubtless, wero
onest in saying and believing that
the island would not finally be deliy-
cred over as free gift to the
Cubans
1t seems q plain case Of unexpected
un-Americanism that Minister Squiers
has exercised himself TO further bonus

this country and many worthy citi-
zens by negotiating jug-handled

when it deals with the attitude III the
southern people toward the Panama

editorial mentioned.

newspaper has convinced itself hat to
deal with the authorities de facto IN
Panama and take over the rights to
the canal from their hands would be
an act Of dishonor. The Times is en-
titled TO its opinion.
But the people of the south have
an equal right to their opinion. upon
the same premises, and if it differs
from that Of The Times that fact does
not warrant the latter in berating us
and in trying to cast upon us a revived
odium on account OF the slavery issue
of the past century.
Ii is I'D to The Times to tell us
what is the spirit that causes the
senators from New England, from
Ohio and the whole republican con
geries of states to favor the present
canal proposition? Are they also
showing the old slavery spirit and
grabbing at material loot While losing
the sense OF moral and national
shame?

when and where the democracy shall
shy its castor into the presidential
ring.
There are some good reasons urged
why the democrats, now fully harmon
lied and eager for fight to the fin
ISL, should get before the people first
with their platform and candidates.
The only drawback to that programme
is the fear that the republicans would
leutralize the best things in the dem
ocratic platform by agreeing with
them and thus avoiding any issue
upon them.
However, the democratic national
committee will probably do the right
thing in deciding when and where to
call next years convention. It will

Our GEORGIA Senators.

The Constitution observes that
some of the newspapers of this and
adjacent states have mistaken alto
gether the attitudes Of Senator Bacon
and Senator Clay toward the pending
Panama treaty. Both in these col
umns and in the dispatches OF our
Washington representative we have
from the first been careful to state
the positions OF the senators from
Georgia with fullness and accuracy.
1t is a mistake in any one TO as
sumo from what has been said by the
Georgia senator's that they are OPP
rosed to the prompt construction OF
the nteroceanic canal, or that they
will vote against the treaty 10 trat Ell
feet viii Panama now pending ii the
senate Neither of them has MADE

trary. they are both known as warm
and interchangeable promoters of the
canal proposition and are earnestly
DESTROYS to do whatever they can ana

terprise.
Both senators are agreed III their
present state OF mind toward canal

necessary rights. concessions and con
troll necessary TO enable the United
States to build own and defend that

They have SO recorded their votes.
But in the rapid transaction OF events
that preceded and followed the seces-
sion OF Panama, the erection OF 4 new
sovereignty over the canal territory
and the recognition by the president OF
tie new government on the iSthmus,
our senators and other Of their col
leagues have deemed it wise 10 hold
an open mind as to their future action
toward these Kaleidoscope events.
They have gone no further than TO
declare that the circumstances IN the
case call for fuller and more explicit
report by the administration OF its
2ctings and dcin9s in the premises.
That they have the right to such IN
formation as may be in the keeping OF

The Postal Check Plan.

The postal authorities are taking
an active interest at last, in the de-
mand Of the people for some system
OF post-check currency by which small
remittances by mail can be easily and
safely made Third Assistant Post
master General Madden reports that
the post-check system would:
/. Relieve the department of heavy loss
and labor through improper sales OF
stamps
2. Practically stop illegal traffic in
stamps and take away inducements to
postofficc robberics.
3. Relieve merchants Of loss in handling
masses Of postage stamps now received
instead Of checks or currency.
4. The plan would be simple, effective
and economical in operation.
He proposes that the department
make an experimental trial of the
scheme from certain centers of the
country. This actual test will show
the department the good and the
troublesome features, SO tnat the good
ones may be retained and the imper-
fections cured before the system is
generally ina gurated.
The bill in aid of this business con-
venicnce, now before congress, pro-
vides that all the one, Two and five
dollar bills issued by the national
treasury shalt have on them blank
spaces in which the name OF a payer
and a payee may be written This
act converts the bill into a check on
the government payable to the party
whose name is written on its face as
the payee. 4 tWo-cent stamp is put
on the bill and for that price the gov
ernment viii cash it at any pOstOffice,
or through any bank. for the payee

thus make his own checl. without go
ing TO the postoffice or getting a
money order from it or any other in
stitution The government issues a
new bill in blank for each one re-
deemed as d personal check.

President Roosevelt has been in,
vited to attend banquet at Whining
ton, Del, on January s, the purpose OF
which is to inaugurate movement
for snip canal to connect the Della

vania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary

the movement. If the business men of
those states see wisdom and profit in
that canal, how much more should the
south Atlantic and gulf peoples get to-

ship canal is nSummated?
