DEATH FOR
INSANE AND iNCURABL-E

Quincy H., Oct 21.--Death for the
insane and ineurable was advocated
at the meeting Of the National Prison
congress by DR.. Henry Hatch OF
Iorincy. The doctor advocated honti-
!c;0e or the right to let a person take
his own life when he is found to be
ircurable: and also would have the
Istate dispose Of the permanently in
sane and incurakle by putting such
persons to easy death. He also favor
ed steriliZing to prevent the increase
o the criminal class He would have
the state prevent the marriage OF
undesirable persons and would forbid
THE saloon-keeper selling liquor to
the habitaal drunkard. He advocat-
cd the unseXing of criminals who gave
evidence of being at the mercy of their
passions.
DR.. J. 3. Ransom of New York de-
clared reforms We're started to save
human life, not to destroy it. If the svs-
item advocated by Dr. Hatch was car
red out the question would be to DE-
eide who would be the first victim.
III do not believe" he said, "we had
better take into orr hands the func-
tions of the Almighty"

SPAIN LUCKY TO LOSE CUBA.

The Marquis de Castellane. in the
course of an article to the Globe-Demo-
crat, has the following to say with ref
erence to the freedom Of Cuba and
the Philippines by the United States:
"I shall perhaps astonish Ameri-
cans when tell them that they rem
Cered a rare service to Spain when
they took Cuba and the Philippines
under their charge. 1t is, nevertheless,
true. Since the colonies ceased to
take from Spain her best blood and
her savings. there has been an eco
nomical revival which becomes every
day more manifest Indeed. one of the
predominating occupations Of Span
iards is to reconquer economically
those immense territories which are
lost to them politically.
"a very active association, the
Ibero-American league, which has

OF foreign affairs, at it's head, is doing

result of its efforts. direct monthly
services of steamers have been estab-
l;shed between BilbOa and Havana.
and Veru Cruz and between Vigo.
Montevideo and Buenos Ayres.
"Spain is also becoming selfsuffi'
cient and is accomplishing an eco
nomic regeneration, thanks to the
services which America has rendered
her. Can she look forward to a res
toration of her rank as a great power
IL Europe? All. that is another ques-
tiOn!
"For my part, think that Spain
will require a century to emerge VIC
tcriouslv from the condition OF moral
tcrpor in which she has lived here
tofore. Before pretending to treat
on equal terms with the great powers,
II is necessary that her people should
learn obedience. cleanliness punctu-
alty and, above all. thoroughness.

MEANS MUCH TO THE GROWERS

The following is an editorial from
the Baltimore News. and il details in
q brief way matter Of great con.
Germ to southern cotton growers.
"lhe cmovem"nt started by the
Manufactures, Record. and indorsed
by representative bankers of the
south, TO invite the cotton manufac-
turerS of Europe TO visit Dixie for the
purpose of studying the cultivation OF
cotton, and to observe for themselves
tho extent of the increase in prodlc.
tion that is possible in this country,
should DO encouraged by every person
and organization interested in the sll-
prcmacy of The United States as the
worlds cotton center. Already English
spinn"rs have expressed desire to
visit the south for the purpose indi-
Gated. but hesitate to do so unless as
sured that the cotton trade will wei
come thom. The invitation should b.
extended personally and officially by
Governors, mayors and business or
|SanZations and expressed in such
terms as to leave no doubt that the
south will receive them with open
arms
Such a visit would doubtless prove
profitable both TO the foreigners and
the cotton growers, in view of the
agitation that has been started abroad
to increase cotton production in for
ei2n countries so as to make Europe
|irdopendpnt of the United States for
supplies of the raw material This
e"a years. but did not assume threat
ening proportions until last year,
when English and German capitalists
began experimenting upon an extern
slve scale in the production of cotton
In Africa. Already tbs great staple
6 raised on the Dark Continent. but
the quantity is too small to give an
accurate idea of what could be done
upon large scale. There are mil
lions Of acres Of land in the south
which could be utilized for cotton.
This vast tract is now waste so far
as production Of any sort is concern
ed, but could be made valuable by the
expenditure OF comparatively small
sum Of money.
"Aside from the cotton question, the
visit Of European cotton manufactur-
ers would probably be profitable In
another way. No section OF the Unit
ed states is as promising a field for
he investment OF capital as the south
II has vast deposits of iron, coal and
other mineral, which it Is just begin
ling to develop The cotton men
5hom it is proposed to invite to visit
his country. no doubt would embrace
the opportunity to make a thorough
tudy of the field, with a view to send
ing over from Europe millions of dol
ars Of idle capital to develop the re.
ources of Dixie. 1t is an opportunity
which the south does not often have
and it is hoped that everything possi-
BILE will be done to induce the foreign
splnners to pay us the visit"

Journalism and Business Morals.


1t may be said that nothing has done
more to lift the moral tone of business
than the healthful criticism of the
press. Twenty years ago the state of
financial journalism-nOt merely the
purely financial press, but also that
portion of the daily press devoted to
d~nance-was not extremely good. Such
Journalism was marked by much ig-
torrance, with, unfortunately, at least
some dishonesty. Apart from this, the
theory upon which it was mainly
oased was not sound. The people who
made" most of the financial news
seemed to think that they were EMIT
led to control, in large measure, it's
publication, both as to matter. time
and manner. Even at this day it is
difficult to convince some otherwise
highly intelligent bankers, directors
and managers that the public has a
right to knowledge. A case occurred
within a month that illustrates very
well the point of view obtaining in
some circles of the financial communi-
ty. A certain corporation undertook
to make an issue of securities. This
fact was developed in public. A fnan-
cial writer called on n of the direc-
tors, showed him the news as pub
ished, and asked If it were true.
YES" said the director, sit is true,
but it is pretty hard hat two or three
gentlemen cannot discuss their private
affairs without a reporter breaking

Curious Features of Lite.

Julius Spears, of Saline County, aged
twenty years, has just been restored
to his relatives, after having been sep
arated from them ever since he was
three years old, and having never, as
far as he can remember, heard of
them. Young Spears parents lived in
Illinois.
One night Willard Spears, the father,
disappeared, taking his youngest child,
julius, with him. He went to Arkan-
sas, and later came to Missouri, le-
eating near Camden. The father died
several years ago, leaving his son with
out any knowledge whatever of his
family connections. While in Bed
ford, ILL.,, a short time ago, a man from
Marshall met a family named Spears.
Conversation revealed that they were
relatives of julius Spears; and the old
mother has recently had restored to
her the son whom she thought she had
lost forever.-Kansas City Journal.

Mr.. Barnabee and the Elusive Melody.
Henry Clay Barnabee, the famous
operate comedian of The Bostonians,
admits that he is a very poor study and
has a hard time learning his songs. In
case he forgets the melody he doesn't
stop, but goes right ahead and impro-
vises a melody of his own. When the
company was rehearsing robin
Hood" Mr.. Barnabee, who played the
part Of the sheriff Of Nottingham, had
great difficulty In learning his song in
the second act. He would start out
all right, but would Invariably forget
the melody and switch to something
of his own.
One day at rehearsal, just before fin
ishing the song, he turned to Mr.. De
Koven, who was in the orchestra.
"Well, how was that?" inquired MI.
Barnabee.
"Quite pretty, Mr.. Barnabee, quite
pretty" replied De Koven, "but l hope
you won't think me egotistical if l say
l much prefer my melody"

A brilliant writer said to me the 9TH
er day that the world seems to be re-
verting to the old Grecian love of ply
steal prOwess and admiration for the
body beautiful. OF course, we are a
long way from this yet. Fancy our
hollow chested, pigeon toed women,
with their square hips and hour glass
waists dressed as the Greeks used to
dress. Fancy our average business
man with his protuberant paunch and
skinny arms posing as a Greek hero.
Sad as this thought is, there is room
for encouragement. Our people, both
men and women, are improving in
size, figure and carriage, and will con-
tinue to improve. Whether the general
intelligence and mental development
will ever reach as high an average
among us as it did among the Athen-
ians is quite another question.-Dr.
Richard Newton, in the Medical Re-
cord.
