Lunacy In Great Britain.

According to a London dispatch, the an.
nual report OF the luracy commissioners
shows a great increase in insanity In Eng
land and Wales. In 1859 the number OF
insane was 36,762 or a proportion OF the
population of one in 536. There was a
steady increase from that time up to Janu-
ary |. 1903, when the number of insane
was ll3,95i, or a proportion OF one in
every 293 OF population. The rate OF in.
crease since 1894 has been especially noted,
the increase being from 92, 1867. One.fourth
of all those admitted to the asvlums are
found to have suicidal tendencies.
The increase is more marked in the
country than in the cities. yet in London
itself there is an average increase reach.

suffer Him to send His bright beams of

An Endemic of Crime.

As a contribution to the discussion by
the press on the epidemic OF crime" the
Corner Stone says:
Crime is on the increase because we
sell the right to carry on a crlme-produc-
ing business for money. In Ohio any man,
no matter what his character, may enter
the business OF crime making for only
$3.50. He may carry on that business un.
molested ior whole year for that amount
of money. He may debauch and ruin as
many OF the boys and young men as he
can entice into his den for a whole year
for that amount of money He may do
this as regular business, This may be
with him just as much a regular business
as selling tea, coffee or sugar. So long
as this condition OF things prevails, OF
course crime will increase.
1T is the legalized saloon that is turn.
ing loose upon the world an army OF what
we call criminals. The fact is too evident
