THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION

The thing most sought for was moi
found. The state asylum for the insan.
at Waterbury passed under the lioht ot
investigation without a trace Of evi,
denee being brought out to show that
there was graft in the institution.
Suspicion Of graft was the motive which
started this investigation Of the various
state institutions, in which the insane
asylum was taken up in due course,
After a close scrutiny Of the accounts
and the ways Of management. three com.
missloners, with the assistance Of tha
attorney general and the moral supnort
Of the governor and the entire peonle
Of the state, were unable to discover
that there was anything of that sort
10 must be concluded therefore. that
graft did not exist. And the neonle
Of the state will be pleased To give this
institution clean bill insofar az that
is concerned.
But while there was nothing adduced
TO show that there was dishonesty ~
the conduct of the institutions affairs
There was plenty to show that the state
asylum might have been managed in
a much more business like manner and

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

In another column we are
publishing resolutions by the
Fire Department requesting all
property owners of Lafayette
who are not members of the
Department to contribute to it's
support. This is a most reason
able request and should meet
with a prompt response. The
Fire Department is a voluntary
organization organized for the
purpose of protecting everyOne's
property, and has proven itself
again and again to be prompt,
efficient and reliable.
In order to provide funds the
members have heretofore taxed
themselves dues, and expect to
continue to do so; but the amount
SO raised is not sufficient, and
besides, it is not right that the
members should both do the
work and furnish the funds.
The least a property owner who
is not a member can do, is to pay
the same amount of dues as the
members. If he is able he
should pay more. The splendid
record our Fire Department has
made in the past and will no
doubt make in the future, should
be q matter OF pride with us,
and we should let our pride
manifest itself in a practical way
by promptly and cheerfully
responding to the reasonable
request made by the Department.

and furnishing marvellous en-
enlargement for socialism.
However this does not mean that
the people are looking to the
national government to engage in
the business of manufacturing
the necessaries of life, but they
do expect it to use it's power as a
check on the trusts that now con-
troll those necessaries. Many of
the States, believing that there
is little hope that this expecta-
ton will ever be realized, the
Legislatures are beginning to
take steps for the protection of
the people against the greed of
monopoly, hence we see Kansas
erecting plants for refining oil,
and Nebraska preparing to man.
tufacture binding Irvine, enter
prises that are purely socialistic
and which are sure to lead to
other ventures. If Nebraska
can manufacture binding Irvine
and furnish it at a low price to
the farmers, there will be q de-
mand for the State to establish
plants for the manufacture of
other necessary articles, the pro-
duction of which is now con.
trolled by trusts, and AS our
Washington contemporary re-
marks: There is no telling
where the experiment will end.
State abattOirs, refineries, shoe
factories, grocery sh0ps-aI
these are the logical outcome Of
the step which Nebrask has
taken" :
It it be true, as now appears
to be the case, that the sOcialistic
idea of government has taken
root and is growing at q rapid
pace, we do not find any difi-
Guilty in reaching the conclusion
that it has found it's greatest
nourishment in the rapacity and
ext0rtion of tari1f-sheltered
monopoly. There is little reason
to doubt that existing conditions
have grown so serious that
: movement in the direction Of
Federal and State control has
become absolutely necessary for
the public welfare. And it is
well to note that such q move
ment is becoming more and more
in evidence, and that it has
gained q Roadway that it is now
impossible to check. It is also
quite clear to those who are OBJ
serving the currents of our times
that this movement repre-
SCENTS the direction of the popular
mind, and we may all wonder
what the end of it will be.

Monopoly Breeding Socialism.
New Orleans States.
In order to relieve the farmers
Of that State from the extortions
of the Binding Irvine Trust, the
Nebraska Legislature has appro-
priated $3.50. 900 to be expended
in the building and equipping of
9 factory for the manufacture
Of binding Irvine. The factory is
to be established within the
walls Of the State penitentiary,
and operated by c0nvicts.
The purpose is to sell the
Irvine at cost 70 the farmers and
il the experiment proves sue
ceesfnl the product is to be
placed on the market Of neigh
boring States. Vast quantities
Of binding Irvine are used by the
farmers Of the West every year
in the harvesting Of their crops
and the prices which the trust
charges for it are so exorbitant
that the Nebrasla Legislature
decided to build q State factory
in order to break down the mo.
nopoly. In commenting on the
matter the Warrington Post
says:
With Kansas endeavoring to
produce marketable oil. and thus
be independent d the oil trust;
with Nebrasks entering upon the
manufacture Of binding Irvine,
and with : serious problem be-
fore Congress which i practic-

TENDENCY OF THE Titles.

OFT Has proven
to be true again and again in the
worlds histOry-will such be
the case with socialism: A few
years ago socialism was looked
upon as the wild dream of inn
practical enthusiasts, and yet
now a number of men of national
prominence and many of the
great daily newspapers look
upon the establishment of the,
cooperative commonwealth as.
inevitable unless the government
develops strength sufficient to
destroy the trusts, and their
utterances plainly indicate their
lack of confidence that the.
government will be able to do so.
The editorial clipped from the
Newt Orleans States whichappears
in another column, represents
very fairly the attitude of the
conservative element in the
matter, and shows that socialistic
theories are being viewed with
very considerable tolerance and
resignation.
As the States says, the
trusts are making socialism
inevitable, and as to whether
such . result will be best or not,
no one can foresee. The world
is gradually progressing, evolu-
ton is the law of nature, and it
may be that the cooperative
idea is the logical sequence Of
modern methods, which have
demonstrated that combination
is the most economical and
pr0fit-producing manner >Of)

 The Georgia state board of health hereby orders that all railroads and steamboat companies operating In the state of Georgia, shall notify their ticket agent, as well as those of connecting lines, not to sell railroad ticket to any point in Georgia from territory infected with yellow fever, except to those per sons having properly certified certificate, signed by a properly authorized health officer of the state, municipal or county health officers. or marine hospital ser vice; that such person has not been in an area infected with yellow fever for ten days.

This will require six dollars additional to the osset of each man and the whole Italian community has been so severely stricken that not one in ten of the laborers Is able to put up the amount of money and the Italian societies require all the money they have been able to raise to maintain widows orphans and convalescents until they are able to do something for themselves. The deten- ton camp will. it Is expected, solve the labor problem for the planters and assur- ances of cooperation by the Parish health authorities are now being relieved.
 There is a slow but steady improve ment in out of town trade. Freight re- strictions are being modified by many towns. At the beginning when only New Orleans was infected all quarantines were directed against this point but infections since then in many places has materially modified conditions and more freight Is now moving than ever before while there is promise of resumption of steamboat traffic.

James F. Latham, alias Landlord, the highwayman convicted in the criminal court last June, is once more within the clutches of the law
 He was recaptured Sunday night at Union Springs, and his arrest may be attributed to the rigid quarantine ser vice being enforced by the state. As soon as he was re-arrested he was taken back to the lumber camp at Henderson. His transfer from that place to Pratt Mines was ordered by Judge Carmichael. chief of the state convict board. The removal vas ordered as Pratt Mines is considered Q safer place than Henderson.
 Latham was brought to Birmingham last night by Deputy Rodenberry, who immediately carried him to the, mines and delivered him to Warden w. J. Cor don.
 Latham escaped last Wednesday from the lumber camp of the Henderson Lum- Der company at Sanford. No details of lne escape have yet been secured. He will probably be kept at Pratt Mines to serve out his sentence of 1s4 years.
 He was convicted last June in the crim- inal court, and it is understood that he escaped capital punishment by only narrow margin. At the same time. James Blackstock was convicted on the same charges and given sentence of ten years. John Blackstock, who is alleged to be the third member of the gang, is now in the county jail and his trial will come Up in the criminal court tomorrow. His case resulted in mistrial last June.
 The crimes for which the two men were convicted were committed in Birmingham last February. B. M. Brazeal and E. I. Simon being the victims. It Is also charged that the highwaymen held up a man by the name of Odom and a negro.
 While in the custody of Deputy Roden- berry Latham attracted a large crowd last night about o'clock at the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street. He was in a convict's garb and was handcuff- ed and shackled
 Latham talked freely to Policeman Wal drop and Deputy Sheriff A s. Cowan, Jr.
 In reply to MT Cowan's interrogatores concerning his capture the highwayman replied:
 "Oh, these d. quarantine men caught me at Union Springs Sunday night"
 Have you been in these stripes since your escape?' was asked.
 'No." answered Latham, "I secured an- other suit of clothes immediately after my escape. These were put on me when I was carried back to Henderson" ?
 Latham said that his capture was en-
