For fifty years in peace and in war.
DR.. Huffman has been a leader for

\ STAIN UPON THE STATE.

That is a sad story from our Marion
correspondent, telling of the death of
an insane man in Mcdowell jail. He
left the Morganton Hospital niue
years ago thought to have been cured
and was in his right mind until some
sixty days ago when he was again
found TO be insane, application was
made to the authorities at Morganton
for admission, but the reply came mo
Room and the poor man had to be
incarcerated in JAIL where he died.
Our correspondent truly says that this
should arouse the present General
Assembly to take such action as will
prevent any insane person being kept
in q poor-house or Jail.
The paramount duty of this Gen
eral Assembly is to provide larger ac-
commodations for the care and treat
ment of the insane. This sad incident
from Marion emphasizes that duty. 1t
also emphasizes another duty, to-wit
an investigation to see whether per-
sons other than INDECENT are taken
for treatment in our hospitals for the
insane to the exclusion of those who
have no recourse except to be sent
Ito a Jail or county home unless admit
ted to a State Hospital. The Consti-
tuition of the State permits the care
and treatment only of ''indigent in
sane" In too many instances in the
past room has been found for peo-
pie, amply able to pay in private san
itariums, to the exclusion of the in
sane who are SO poor that they have
to be confined in jails. This ought not
to be permitted. There are strong rea-
sons advanced why the State should
provide room for the care of all its in
sane INDECENT or able to pay for treat
ment in a Sanitarium. But to care for
any but the "indigent it will be neces-
sary to amend the State Constitution.
1t is no answer to say that well-to-do
patients pay for their care and treat
ment. There are private sanitariums
open for them. The State Hospitals,
according to the Constitution is for in
digent insane" When they are denied
admission and room is found for we'll
TODD patients and inebriates, the Con-
stitution of the State is violated and
humble insane are permitted to die in
Jail to the shame of the Common
wealth. Another thing: There ought
to be law forbidding the admission
of any inebriate into hospital as long
as any 'indigent insane person is
knocking in vain for admission. Kelley
Institute is the proper place for me-
briates. though. If the State Hospitals
has abundance of accommodation for
an the INDECENT insane the law allows
them TO be treated there.
The Legislature should make large
appropriations to increase the accom-
modations for the insane. There is
urgent demand for this and it should
have precedence over all other appro-
priation bills.

HON. WILFRED ID. TURNER.

Today at one O'Clock the term OF
Hon Wilfred Dent Turner, of Ire

and he will return to his nome III
Statesville For a large portion OF
eighteen years Mr.. Turner has been a
member of the State Senate or mas pre-
sided over its deliberations. No man
has had more in those years to do
With shaping the legislation of that
body or with preserving the best IRA
ditions and upholding the dignity OF
the Senate. AS he retires to private
life his fellow citizens will weigh his
services to the State and give him
the ''WeIl done to which his career
entities him. AS presiding officer,
Mr.. Turner has won first place among
North Carolina parliamentarians. lie
has rarely used the gavel. He mas
never "clucked on the nest. without
any semblance of put on dignity he
has presided with dignity and his rui-
inss have been models of fairness. he
has no "frills.' he never plays TO the
galleries. he has not sought to die
tate. He has without any pomp or
ceremony made model president OF
the Senate and when called to pre-
side over the High Court of Impeach-
ment ne made lasting reputation.
In his public. as we'll as in his prl-
vate life (and no man of bad private
life can make a virtuous public ser
vantp Mr.. Turner has been noted for
his uprightness and integrity. He has
stood for the Right and has had a
clear vision to distinguish the Right
from both the wrong and the ques-
tionable. He has never used his Off
cial position to advance his private M
terests or secure fees for his law firm.
In an age when such conduct is TOO
prevalent this virtue is worth mention
ing. He has never been the foe OF
great corporations, but their friend,
but has never favored any laws that
gave them special privilege. He has
worn no mans collar and has paid his
railroad fare out of his own pocket.
He has been frank and straightfor-
ward There isn't d scintilla OF the
demagogue in his make up. He does
not pirate of his devotion to the COM
mon people and do the bidding OF
mighty interests. To sum it all up,
Mr. Turner is an able, honest. square
man. The people generally except IN
his own section have not had oppor-
tunity to know him well but in this gen.
alton no man has served his State
more honoraby and more unselfishiy
and the State will call for him again
in high positions of trust. He has the
saving grace of Common Sense and
Sterling Honesty.
