THE STATE ASYLuMS.

The four state hospitals for the
insane, called in the speech Of the
people, insane asylums, are man
aged by boards appointed 10y the
governor of the State. This at
least is the theory of their man
agemcnt Practically, in many
cases, the officials of the asylums
have been dictated by the govern.
ors. This has not always been best
for the governors or for the
asylums an d seldom best
for the insane. 1t has made
the asylums centers of political
strife and has sometimes put them
in charge of physicians and other
officials who were chosen for party
reasons rather than for any special
professional qualifications. The
plan is not new one in Missouri.
1t has been pursued with more or
less happy results 10 the past.
The plan has its advocates. The
citizen who places party fealty
above professional skill in all
treatment of the insane will cor
daily support it. He can not un-
dcrstand why a governor should
not use the insane asylums as
places to pay political debts aud
to build mp personal machines.
The sO-called machine man will
favor it. To him the asylums
are but a part of the spoils Of Of
flee, opportunities to care for
friends. He is a mugwump who
thinks differently aud a mugwump
is fuli-brolher to horse. thief or
an anarchist.
Some Missourians hold the view
that governor should he gov
ernor aud not meddler in the de-
tails of asylum management. That
this view is opposed to the theo-
ries accepted and acted uponin GER
tain high political quarters in the
past is true. They even go so far,

Does the Constitution Warrant Voting
Machines !?


Whitfield B. Gillen, of Dover, the de-
feated Democratic candidate for Sheriff of
Morris county, has retained Reed & Salmon,
of Morristown, and will contest the cleo
tion of the Republican candidate, George
Shaw, on the grounds that voting machines
are unconstitutional.
Messrs. Reed & Salmon are very able
lawyers, and they will contend that voting
machines deprive voter of the use of the
ballot, that he cannot cast secret ballot
that the machine is an intimidation to the
voter, and keeps many from the polls, that
a man cannot split his ticket without
the fact being known to everyone in the
polling place il they are listening feature
that is an additional intimidation and re-
moyal Of the cloak of secrecy.
If recount is demanded, it cannot be
made right, it is held that every con-
testant is entitled to; and no man il called
upon, can testify under oath as to just how
he voted, and, in fact, after voter has
operated the machine, it is claimed, be
does not know whether he has voted or not.
The peculiar actions of many of the
voting machines, notably those in Madison,
as we'll as those in other places, will be
used as an argument against them.
