Sun, Air and Earth.
Sun, air, earth-they are three
great ministers for sick and diseased
souls and bodies.
They will do more toward refOr-
nation and restoration than the cell,
solitary confinement and the lash.
More than pills and powders and
opiates. More than preachers and
sermons.
Heaven speed the day when all the
little children cooped up in city ten
ements, when weary mothers and
WORKOUT workmen will have the ben
eft of Gods beautiful earth, and the
sunshine and the fresh air a portion
of every day.
There is room for all; the blessed
trolley lines are making Transports
ton possible at small cost, and the
time is coming when our cOngested
cities will, and must, empty out their
fetid alleys and give the unconscious
prisoners of toll better conditions.
When this is done then will in
sanity and crime be lessened and the
need of asylums and prisons re-
duced to a minimum.
The sun, the air, the earth! They
are Gods gifts to all men.
No system of government is right
or just which takes these things from
any class and compels it to exist
without them.

FRAUD IN PENSION ROLLS
so COMMISSIONER LINDSAY SAYS
IN HIS REPORT.
Number of Georgia Pensioners Is In
creasing, and There Is a Big De-
9cit In Tho Recommendation,


creasing, and There Is Big De-
felt in the Appropriation.
The annual report of Pension
Commissioner John W. Lindsay, just
submitted to Governor Terrell, dis
closes two interesting and important
facts; first, that there is considera-
BILE fraud in the pension rolls which
under the present laws it is practi-
cally impossible to detect; and, sec
ond, that there will be deficit of
$30,240 in the pension appropriation
for 1907.
The report shows that there is a
total of 15,448 pensioners of all
classes to be paid in 1907, divided
as follows: S,133 INDECENT soldiers,
2,324 INDECENT widows, 1850 dis
abled soldiers and 1925 of the old
class of widows.
There is an increase of 1877 pen
sioners on all rolls this year, and
there was a similar increase last
of some $4,000 Thus the depart
ment is confronted by a largely in
creased deficit in 1907, since the APP
preparation is the same as for 1906,
namely, $890000. The Legislature
had to make an extra appropriation
at it's last session to supply this de-
felt.
In his report Commissioner Lind
say goes on to show that there is
a great deal of fraud on the pension
rolls which he has no means of de-
tecting. 1t is the duty Of the grand
jury in each county to carefully ex-
anime the pension rolls with a view
to the elimination of these fraudu
lent claims, but in very few in
stances is this done. The pension
commissioner has detected a large
number of instances of fraud himself
by calling on the records bureau of
the war department in Washington
for information as to pension appli-
cants, who claim to have been cap
tured and held in prison,
In this way many claims have been
rejected because it was shown that
the applicants were practically de-
serters from the Confederate army.

To Tunnel Behring Sea.

A company has been organized in
New York to tunnel Behring Sea and
unite America and Asia by rail,
which, when completed, will enable
a passenger to take train anywhere
in America and go straight through
to Paris by rail. The enterprise will
cost several hundred million dollars,
but expert engineers say the scheme
is feasible, the money is ready and
work will begin at an early day.

HONORABLE SAN FRANCIsCANs
Have Paid $4,000 Car Fare tor
Which They Were Trusted.

During the first four or five days
after the San Francisco fire, when
many people could get no money
from the banks, a great number went
to the railroad officials for tickets
to points north, east, south and west,
and both in and out of the state.
They insisted upon paying eventual
ly, but had nothing to give at that
time but their written promise to pay
as soon as they could reach their des-
tinations. The officials took these
promises to pay to an amount ag-
gregating 100000 from nearly 1000
persons. 1t is announced that with
in five months after the disaster no
less than $4,000, or nine-tenths of
the full amount, has been paid by
remittances from the refugees to
whom credit had been extended.
Much of this came from grateful
sufferers who had not even been
asked to sign a promise to pay.

SPORT IN POCOsON SWAMP.
Killing Wild Hogs That Were Once
Domesticated.
(From the Albany Herald

FROM J06 Albany 4AC4 anu
Mr.. J. A. Martin called at The
Herald office this morning and re-
ported an exciting chase after a wild
hog in the Pocoson swamp, several
miles west of5 the city, yesterday.
There are many of these animals in
tho Pocoson. it is said, and to cap
+,ra one is no small undertaking.
They were once domesticated, the
property of farmers in that vicinity
but after taking to the swamp rap
id1v absorbed the wildness that sur
rounded them and became as the
boars deer and wildcats that lived
about them.
Mr. Martin went into the swamp
Yesterday with pair of good dogs
and soon jumped a couple OF hogs'
One of them soon disappeared, but
the chase after the other continued
FOR three hours. At the end OF that
time the dogs pulled the hog down.
and Mr.. Martin killed it with his pis-
toll. The, porker weighed 100
pounds, net.
Mr.. Martin found the sport excit-
ing and declares that as soon as MS
dogs get thoroughly rested he is go
inc hack into the swamp in search
of more of the same sort.

SUN, AIR AND EARTH
GREAT GIFT TO ALL AND EVEN CRIMINALS SHOULD
DEPRIVED THEM.


How surely and beautifully this
world moves toward higher knowl-
edge of truth and kindness!
Never was there such promise Of
the hoped-for millennium as now.
Yes, now, while the air is full of
reports of evil, of robbery and brib-
cry and crime of all kinds, does the
dawn of the greatest spiritual era
on earth seem near.
Only a hundred years ago our
poor insane invalids were incarcer-
ated in dungeons and subjected to
most cruel treatment.
Science and humanitarianism have
progressed to a wonderful degree in
the last hundred years, and now
comes a most humane proposition
from Mr.. George Sanders, of No.
1866 Pacific street, Brooklyn, as fol-
lows:
After consulting with friends, doc
tors, nurserymen and others, have
been moved to submit to the state
board Of commissioners on lunacy
plan for developing ten acres or so
Of land belonging to each state hos
pital into a fruit garden.
This garden would supply the hos
pital with large quantity and va
riety of fruits and also prove OF
great value to the many patients who
could be employed in the garden,
thus giving them outdoor exercise
which would prove so interesting
that it would be the means of re-
storing many a mind to its normal
condition"
A Step Ahead.
The idea is admirable. l hope II
Will meet with encouragement ana
assistance from every state in the
union.
From dark dungeons and chains,
neglect and abuse, out to heaven
sunlight, with nature and medical
science to assist in the restoration
Of the mind; surely this shows pro-
gress in our idea of duty toward
the insane since the days of our
great-grand-fathers.
Now let the same methods be ap-
pied when possible to the other in
Valids of the land-the criminally
insane.
For all crime is some phase OF in
sanity.
No man who has committed
eFlme will be reformed and made IN
u sane, moral and law-abiding GU
zen If he is shut in for years between

Valuable Prescription Which Any

"The people here DO not drink

claimed a well-known physician. Inc
numerous cases of stomach trouble,

rheumatism are mainly due to the fact
that the drinking of water, nature $

why, OF course, take the proper medl-
cines-plain common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shaeSer the nerves
or ruin the stomach"
when requested for such prescrfp-
ton for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: you
must make the kidneys do their work;
they are the filters of the blood.
They must be made to Strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must
be neutralized so it will no longer
be a. source of irritation to the
bladder, and, most of all, you must
keep these acids from forming in the
stomach. This is the cause of stom-
ach troubles and poor digestion. For
these conditions would suggest the
following prescription, which is com

cUBA's NEW POLICY.
Will Attempt to Attract New People to
the Island.

the Island.
Havana, Nov. 15.-In view Of the ap-
preparation of s1,000,000 made by the
Cuban congress to encourage immt-
grafton, Governor Magoon asked eco
monde bodies to express their views on
this and kindred questions. A report
was handed to Mr.. Magoon yesterday
favoring the encouragement Of immi-
grafton and the spending of 100000 on
laborers and 100000 on their families.
The report also favors reduction Of
the customs tariff in order to lower the
excessive cost of living. 1t urges the
governor to employ all the resources at
his command to make local authorities
and the police endeavor to re-establish
among the people those Industrious
habits which have been so deeply af-
fected by the revolution.
A committee representing the eco
nomic bodies pointed out to Mr.. Ma
COON that Spain, the source of Cuba
Immigrants, is being tapped by the
United States and the South American
republics Cuba, which needs immi-
grants from Spain and the Canary is
lands, it was urged, should stimulate
immigration in sef-defense, especially
as laborers are need to harvest the
sugar crop.
There is much cattle stealing in
Carnaguey. One owner, a foreigner,
says his cattle are stolen when on his
own land, but when he sends them to
pasture ont land owned by Cubans,
they are not touched. It is estimated
1000 head of cattle were stolen last
year. The stealing was checked by
rural guards but dt has broken out
again since the revolution.

New York, Nov. 15.-Represent
Herbert Parsons, president Of the New

yesterday to part of the criticisms Of
fered by former Governor Odell re-
garding the management Of the late
campaign in the state. He said in
part:

to conduct the state campaign, / be-

doubtedly would have accomplished
many things that it was impossible to
do between the time of his selection
and election day.
AS to Governor Odell's criticism OF
President Roosevelt for his attitude in
the campaign, can only say that In
view of the fact that Mr.. Hearst and
his campaign speakers declared that
the views Of the president and Mr.
Hearst were practically parallel, and
authoritative statement of the presi-
dents actual position was entirely
pertinent.
"The memory of voters is usually
short and we know many persons had
actually begun to believe that what the
Hearst speakers, particularly those
who made addresses in foreign lam
guages, said was true.

COLORADO CRIES FOR WORKERS
Farmers Of State Offer $3.50 a Day

Denver, Nov. 14.-Unable to secure
the number of farm hands necessary
to handle their great crops, Colorado
farmers are offering inducements to
workers that make the summer harry

Donald has been approached by farm
ers from all parts Of the state who
have pleaded with him to aid them In
getting help, but in spite of his earnest
efforts the scarcity of labor has con-
tinued until it has grown serious.
Wages Of $3.50 day and board are
offered by farmers of the northern part
of the state for men to work In the
fields. This Is an amount almost un-
precedented for farm laborers. With
the necessity for getting the crops In
before the extremely cold weather
comes the farmers are desperate and
in some localities are seriously con-
sidering making efforts to secure men
in large numbers from other states.
