Is Lunacy Increasing
In Florida?

The Miami Metropolis asks rs Du1-
acy Increasing in F1Orida?" and then
proceeds to demonstrate that it is in
creasing in Dade county. The Jour.
nal is unable to answer the query Of
its esteemed south Florida contempor,
airy but is pleased to give space to its
article on the subject in the hope that
some bugs" expert will see it and
reply thereto. The article is as fol-
lows:
Is insanity on the increase in Flor
ida? If Dade county be taken as an
illustration, il is, and we believe that
the records Of other counties will show
the same proportionate increase that
is evident here.
Within the past few weeks half a
dozen or more patients have been TAX
en- from here to the asylum for treat
ment for different forms of insanity.
But one Of the patients suffered with
violent type Of lunscy, all the others
being quiet, their disease taking the
form of melancholia or temporary in
sanity, both Of which are current. Why
50 many persons in this county are
suffering mental arrangement is IN
known. unless it be due to one of those.
peculiar epidemics that come quickly
and after running their course, dis
appear in the same way.
BY the laws amended by the last
Legislature all sheriffs are required
10 deliver at the expense Of the cOun-
~ from which committed and the
same fee and mileage allowed as in
Transporting criminals. Previous to-
this act guards were sent from the
asylum for insane persons and the eK-
pense charged TO the state. The new
law is good for the sheriffs but hard
on the counties. The sheriff makes
by the fee and mileage, while the
counties lose by the same process.
But one or two Of the several lunatics
sent from here in the recent past have
been residents Of Dade county and had
no claim upon il. Then, why should
the county be taxed individually for
sending them to the asylum? It isl
hardly fair and Just because they are
more Of a state than a county charge.
On this account the law is strong
" opposed in all quarters. There is
no serious objection to the fee and
mileage allowed sheriffs for handling
such cases, but the expense should !
be borne by the state. and we voice
the sentiment Of many in suggesting
that the next legislature amend the |
lunacy law so as to make the expense
OF handling such unfortunate persons /
resolve back upon the state of Flori- |
da and not upon the counties, whose /
funds are seriously inrOaded on &C
count Of II.

Endorsement Of Bryan.
A little circumstance is occurring
serially in the north that must be Ia
ken seriously. A good many demo-
cratic county conventions in Missouri
and Ohio have formally declared by
resolution in favor of the nOmina-
ton Of w. J. Bryan by the democrat
ic national convention in 1908. There
is no telling just now how far the
movement may spread. but it is an
indication of sentiment that may not
be entirely disregarded. 1t is pub
lished that Bryan is not seeking the
nomination. 1t is known that Mr..
Hearst is a candidate for it. AS be-
tween the TWO men Bryan is by lar
the more acceptable, and if he de-
sires the nomination-as yet. an IN
certainty-he can have it for the
asking as things look now. 1t is too
early for definite conclusion on the
subject, but those who wish to have
hand in moulding democratic senti-
ment in some other direction than
Bryan might as well get to the work
that is cut out for them.-Tampa

ly ask to be registered in the popular
mind as candidates for the United
States senate. If the governor shall
have to appoint them, they ask the
people to endorse them TO him. If the
legislature is to elect, they ask to be
endorsed for that.
There is not the remotest unseen
illness in the campaign. The men ask
ing for endorsement are the personal
friends and supporters of the sena-
tors. They did not bring about the
present condition, but when the state
committee said that the voters must
not only select two senators, that they
should also endorse two men for sue
cessOTs to the senate, it was necessary
to seek the endorsement or forever
stay out of the senatorial contest. Not
a man is saying an unseemly word or
doing an unseemly deed. The cam
paTgn is decidedly dignifed.

Here's the way The Savannah Morn
ing News views the Bryan sentiment
that is sweeping over the country:
It seems that Mr.. Bryan is going to
find himself a much bigger man when
he gets home than he was when he
left. He said some time ago that he
wouldn't again be a candidate for
president unless occasion demanded
it. It appears that Occasion is pre-
pairing to meet him at the New York
dock and force him into the running.

out that he will stick to his word and
not be a candidate for president in
