Hearst's System of Legislation,


There is story of a boy who said
he liked going to school all right and
he liked coming back, but the staying
there between times made him tired.
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst ap-
pears to. be this boy in public life. He
has been in congress four years and
has answered present once in four times
each session. He liked the running for
congress and he seems to like the com
ing home to run for governor, but the
staying in congress and attending to
Phis duties does not appeal to him.
It may be said in Mr.. Hearst's, be-
half that member Of congress from
New York has few or no duties which
cannot be transacted by secretary or
clerk. Mr.. Hearst is able to hire many
bill to introduce he could hire all the
attorneys in town if he liked, and get
up a Competition to see which would
draw The best one. Then he could hire
them again. to get up an argument for
it's; passage. The only thing Wearisome
about it was that he had to be there
fte introduce it himself. He had to go
before the committee and read the pre-
pared argument himself. These crudi--
ties Of the rules Of the house accounted
for the presence of Mr.. Hearst the few
times he has been present in that hon
orable body. 4 &
Mr.. Hearst makes a great deal of
talk about his Americanism, but, as
a matter Of fact, he is ot.at all Ameri-
can in his. methods Of legislation. He
is following the English model. IF he
wore single eyeglass he might be
mistaken for Joe Chamberlain or Bal

New York's Alleged Ballot Law.

The so-called Australian ballot in
New York is a farce. 1t puts pre-
nlium on ignorance by maintaining the

MIR. HAYNES and the Pioneer Press.

There is one feature or Mr. Haynes
campaign which deserves more atten-
tion from the voters than 1t has yet re-
ceived, and that. is his <connivance with
the Pioneer Press, a true friend Of Min
neapolis, to blacken the name Of this
city thruout the country.
MI. Haynes has deliberately and
without qualification denounced the city
in which he lives as being without po'
lice protection, and has invited every
thug, desperate and burglar in the
land to hasten here and make this his
headquarters. He has scandalized the
city thruout the land with exaggerated,
false and malicious statements. He
has shown a willingness to make the
reputation, even the safety of the city,
subservient to his personal ambition to
be mayor. Never in the history of
Minneapolis has there been a mayor
atty campaign on such a low plane as
this waged by Mr.. Haynes. The main
basis of his reiterated charge Of a car
nival Of crime is the exploit Of the
strange man, some say mulatto, 9th
ers white man disguised as negro,
who held up number Of people and
wound up his career with the cowardly
shooting of Joseph Gardot near the Min
ikahda club. Such outbursts of devil
try are not unknown in cities, and it is
not infrequent that they battle the best
police. The Infamous Whitechapel out
RACES in London never were cleared up,
tho the detectives Of two continents
worked upon them. Ten years ago in
Minneapolis, one Quinn went thru the
city and held up two dozen people at
the muzzle of a revolver. He worked
this game two or three weeks before he
was caught. This was during the ad-
ministration of Robert Pratt. Three
years ago there was an epidemic OF
purse snatching from women in the
downtown district, which was kept up
until the whole city was exasperated.
The thief was not caught until after
Mayor Jones took charge Of the police
force, tho all his work was done dur.
ing the period when Mr.. Haynes was
mayor.
These incidents are mentioned not tc
drag them into this campaign, but tc
show the difference between campaigns
of men who have real issues on which
to fight for the mayoralty, and Mr.
Haynes, who apparently has none.
Mr.. Haynes has blackened the police
force, condemned the mayor, sneered al
the efforts of the authorities, and mis-
stated the facts regarding convictions
all apparently with the idea that it i
easy to raise up prejudice against til
police force and never possible to catc]
up with the candidate who fits from
ward to ward building his campaign OF
half truths.
Mr.. Haynes probably overdid the jol
when he went into partnership with tn,
Pioneer Press and went from meeting
, to meeting reading editorials from tina
sheet in proof that Minneapolis AM
not st. Paul is the place for thugs ant
thieves to go. Mr.. Haynes alone
when. his topic was fresh, attracte,
some attention. Mr.. Haynes plus tn
Pioneer Press is little too rank dos
for Minneapolis. .e..

The experts do not seem to have arrived
at an agreement as to whether insanity is
to be classed as a mental or physical all
ment. That sometimes a deranged mind is
the result of diseased brain there seems
to be no doubt, but the evidence does not
seem to be conclusive that diseased mind
always springs from a diseased body. Ger
tainly the doctors differ about this. One
very good authority declares that there is
no rigid line OF demarcation between san
ity and insanity" and there have been
alienists of high repute who have in sworn
testimony before courts declared a belief
that as large an average as one-fourth of
human beings regarded as normal are at
times mentally deranged.
DIR. Charles O. Hill, physician In charge
of Mount Hope retreat for the insane.
makes the interesting suggestion In his last
annual report that luxurious living result
ing from the high average OF modern pros
perity, may be largely responsible for ihe
increase in insanity in modern times. He
refers to luxury. however, when it is car
or dissipation, so that the fluids and tissues
of the body are impaired as the particular
kind Of luxury that conduces to the raising
of the insanity rate. In other words. II Is
the swift pace" OF modern living that
leads to the insane asylum So much NAY
be readily conceded. but II Is not to be 80
easily concluded that insanity results indf-
rectiy from physical Reorganization and
not directly from the disregard OF tho usual
standards of moral life. when it is In
duced by what cannot be better described
than as 1.-THE rapid pace.
II Is generally agreed by the medical pro-
fession that a tendency TO insanity Is
hereditary. This fact. however, does not
serve to Indicate the disorder as being
either psychfcal or physical in origin. A
tendency to tuberculosis is hereditary, and
so is q tendency to mathematical or rusi-
cal talent The causes Immediately leading
to mental arrangement are often such as
to preclude the assumption that Il Ia

been drafted into the shape of . bill, and Is opposed by so many powerful interests that almost anything would be preferable to having 1t brought up for serious consideration. Thus it would look as though ship subsidy were destined to come and tariff re- vision will get the go-by. This is ev- en more likely to be the case, seeing there are two other subjects which can probably be talked in place of tariff reform. One of these is cur rency reform and the other inherit ance tax. The approval of the big banking interests, and it is just pos sible that bill to the end of more elastic finance may be showed through at the last moment. Nobody who has inheritance coming to them wants any inheritance tax talk. The only people in favor of it are the moneyless majority who are not like ly to inherit anything except debts, and their wishes do not matter. It is true they have the president on their side and his influence may result in getting the bill framed.
