TIE POOR FARM.

Members of the county court went
out to the poor farm on Friday and
made a thorough inspection, The
Judges are notat allsatlsfied with the
conditions they found, but srehandi
capped by the lack OF sufficient funds
for needed improvements. Some
time ago she suggestion was made
that the old poor farm be sold and
fewer acres be purchased closer t.
town and modern buildings erected tn
meet the II requirements OF such an in
stitution. This was met with a
storm OF protests by the republican
press of the county, possibly on the
theory that a Democratic court
might get some credit, and then it
would remove an obstacle which has
given them a fruitful source for a
kick and to manufacture political
capital for many years.
The experiment Of trying to make
a poor farm anyways near self sus-
tanning has proven failure in this
county. There are many causes con-
tributing to this, but the principal
oneis that abb bodied paupers, men
tally and physically capacitated TO
perform labor, are mighty few. Peo-
Pile, as n rule, who consent to 60 to
the poor farm are wrecks and unable
to perform the hard manual labor
required to make farming successful,
Whenever a man is able to make a
rarm hand, he should no longer be a
county charge.
A county should properly care for
its poor-not in q "poor.house," but,
in humanity and decency 3 name, in a
county Infrmary or Hospital for the
poor, like the state has for It's insane,
and these poor unfortunate people
should not be iarmed out to a specu.
lator or contractor, whose sole OBJ
iect is to make profit on theirearn-
ing capacity.
Bates county has no need for a |
county farm, none whatever, but It
does need and should have few
acres OF ground, conveniently locat-
ed to the county seat, on which
should be erected a modern SANTA
rum where the poor uufo tunates,
who have gone down In the fierce
struggle for existence in which we are
engaged, can be cared for until they
are again able to take up the fight.
This is not politics, it is humanity,
and for that we plead.
The members OK the court are OF the
opinion that they should sell half the
land, or 40 acres, toimprove the 9th
er hall. Sell it oil We 40 not mean
to give it away, but dispose OF it to
the best advantage and for what the
land is actually worth and reinvest
the money along the lines suggested
above. Until something OF this kind
is done the poor farm" will always
be "crying shame"
