That is What sherlffs Claim Against
Governor Mead.
TRAVELLING GUARD SYSTEM ATTACKED
Prisoners and Insane Persons Is
Enormously Expensive.

| At the meeting of the State Sheriffs'
association held in Tacoma Saturday
one of the principal subjects discussed
| was the present system of transporting
prisoners and insane persons to the
state institutions by travelling guards.
! AS Governor Mead is the sponsor for
the present law requiring prisoners
and insane persons sentenced to state
| institutions to be held in local jails
until the arrival of travelling guards,
| and the law was passed at his sugges-
ton, the chief executive of Washington
came in for harsh criticism.
The question was discussed in
executive session. Not a member of
the association but opposed the new
law on the ground of injustice to the
prisoners and added expense. 1t was
stated that when the cost of travelling
expenses and maintenance of travelling
guards is figured, the new system is a
third more expensive than when each
sheriff delivered his own prisoners to
the state institution.
Held a Week.
Cases were cited where insane per-
sons had been held in the county Jail
one week after ordered committed to
come after them. One instance was of
a violently insane patient who had to
be kept in a straitjacket in a cell Y
hours because the local officer had no
means of caring for him. 1t is said
that if the sheriff had the authority to
transport him he could have been de-
livered to the asylum five hours after
the commitment was made out.
1t was charged that the present
method is nothing more than an at
tempt to build up a state machine.
| Guards going from place to place are
said to use their official positions for
political purposes and to try to create
sentiment in support of Mead.
No action was taken. The general
opinion of the meeting was that the
state is simply up against it and no
| change need be expected until Mead
! gets his machine built up or goes out
of office.
Another important matter discussed
was the uniform fee bill to be intro
duced at the next legislature. The bill
provides also that no one but officers
can serve papers.
Denholm Is Endorsed.
The question of the probability of
office in the weston district was dis
cussed. A resolution was unanimously
association and Sheriff Denholm, of
Pierce county for the position should
a vacancy occur. Denholm made ap-
plication to President Roosevelt last
summer for Hopkins place.
Sheriff Smith, of King county, de-
clined reelection as president of the
association and Sheriff Dunholm, of
Pierce, was unanimously chosen to
succeed him. Sheriff ellison, of Adams,
| was elected vice president; Deputy
Harry R. Knowles, of Snohomish, was
e-elected secretary, and Sheriff Will
liams, of Whatcom, was reelected
| treasurer.
The next meeting will be held at
Spokane in July, 1906.

THEY MUST RE HELPEp.

a QUESTION to come before the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly is APP
preparation for new building for the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Farnhurst. Governor Lea
is interested in the needs Of this institution and
he will doubtless make some recommendation
concerning the desire of the trustees for adj
ditional building in his next message. The quar-
tiers at Farnhurst are crowded Unfortunately
as the population of the State increases the num-
Der OF insane increases and some authorities hold
that the percentage OF insanity to population is
increasing. The institution at Farnhurst for
some time has been crowded and the trustees
must have relief. 1t is proposed to erect
building for the colored patients alone. This is
a wise conclusion as the colored ones could be
better cared for under the proposed plan. When
the matter is put before the Legislature in
proper light the appropriation sufficient for the
needs of the trustees will doubtless be forthcom-
ing OF late years Delaware has made a com
mendable record in caring for her unfortunates
and this must be continued None are so help
less as the insane and no class have more press
ing claim upon the State for proper treatment.
The State Hospital for many years has been ably
conducted by the trustees and Superintendent
Hancker. The trustees led by their president,
DR.. Black, have devoted much, time and atten-
ton to the welfare of the institution and its pa
thetic inmates, and their efforts will have to be
assisted BY the State.

pREs1pENrs ACTION upHELp.

THE stirring statement Of Mr.. Taft, the Sec
J. rotary Of War, in supporting the action Of
the President in dismissing three companies of
colored soldiers IS a fatal blow to the efforts of
those misguided persons who thought that the
President made mistake in discharging without
honor the troops.
The President did not act hastily in this mat
ter and it IS preposterous TO suppose that he
would discharge the negroes unless there was
good and sufficient reason for such course. The
Secretary Of War points out that the soldiers took
an oath of allegiance to the United States gov
ernment The question raised was whether the
government could continue in its employ body
OF men from FIVE to ten per cent. Of whom could
plan and commit murder, relying upon the silence
Of their companions to escape detection The
government must retain the discipline among
me troops. As Mr. Taft points out. il num-
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1906-12-07

Der of soldiers can commit murder and the gov
eminent cannot discover the criminals, they
might plan treason itself and rely upon their
comrades not to inform against them. The ques-
ton Of the color Of the troops has nothing to do
with the case Negroes can enlist in the army
and new companies will be recruited. The at
tempt TO raise an issue of race in this action Of
the President in Diminishing the soldiers will
prove a dismal failure. The more that is learn
ed Of the Presidents course the more heartily
will it receive the appreciation Of thinking people.

ARE NOT TAXED HALF ENOUGH.

FOLLOWING close upon its sneakng out Of
Il the payment of an honest debt to the city
by pleading the statute of limitations, the Will
mington City Railway Company is now seeking
TO have the city assessment on its property re-
duced. Mr.. John A. Riggs, Of Reading, and his
Pennsylvania and New Jersey associate owners
OF the City Railway want to be relieved of pay
ing their fair share OF taxes to our city. Why,
OF course they do Being non-resdents and even
rare visitors TO our city, it does seem like an out
rage to tax their property here. They think We
should let them squeeze out OF us every dollar
possible and give back either in taxes or street car
service as little as possible. They do not live in
our city nor ride on their cars here, and they
therefore should be relieved from all taxes, and
it makes no difference what kind of an old street
car service we have Considering the very val
liable franchises it has and how it got them, the
public service corporations do not pay half
the taxes to the city and county they should
Instead Of paying on an assessment Of S22oooo
the Wilmington City Railway Company should
be assessed at at least SIoooooo which is
considerably less than the value of its property,
according to its bonded debt and stock issue
The insolent demand of the company to reduce
its assessment should be promptly refused,
