NEW YORK, May 22.-Is the man
with the muckrake causing an increase
of insanity in the United States? Is
the sensationalism of the literature of
exnosure against which President
Roosevelt protests responsible for the
fact that more persons have been los
ing their mental balance during the
past few years than ever before?
The figures for the state of New York
seem significant. In the past IL years
the increase in this state has amounted
to no less than 25 per cent in the ralo
of the insane to the general population.
DR.. William B. Pritchard, who is con-
sulting neurologist at Smith institute,
Staten Island, is one of the physicians
who believe that too much SENSATIONAL
ism in reform propaganda has mad
much to do with increasing the num-
her of the insane. DR.. Pritchard said:
Doctrines Are Insane.
"The intensity of the political agita-
tons of the period have certainly had
their effect There have been Bryan
ism and free silver, municipal owner
shin socialism and other insane doc
tr;nes-ves I stand by that, insane doc
trines- and many persons OF weak

LAFAYETTE, Ind, May 22-The
tycentv-seventh annual encampment of
the Department of Indiana. G. A. R.,
which opened here this morning, has
ottracted several thousand veterans
and visitors from all parts of this state.
The city is handsomely decorated and
the hotels and streets are crowded with
sightseers The morning was devoted
10 the reception of the arriving dele

ZION Of the badges and the preliminary
work Of the organization. In the aft
arnoon there will be several committee

Relief Corps will give a reception in
honor Of Corporal Tanner, commander
in chief Of the Grand Army and Cow
arnor Hanly, who will deliver an adj
dress.
The first business session Of the en-
campment will be held tomorrow

an address of welcome, to which De-
partment Commander M. B. Tackett
will respond Oother prominent men,

addresses. At noon the encampment
will adjourn and at half past 1 o'clock
the parade will start. 1t is expected
that this will be the largest parade ever
held by the Department of Indiana,
owing to the fact that nearly all the
500 inmates of the State Soldiers
home will take part in the parade, be-
sides the large number of veterans who
are here to attend the encampment.
The parade will be reviewed by Corpo-
raj Tanner. After the parade another
business session of the encampment
will be held.
Three campfires will be held Wednes-
day evening. The largest will be at
the State Soldiers home, while the
other two will be held down town.

transmitted in their entirety. discussion.
If the income tax was revived and II
vas then, according to Governor Cum
Minis friends, that he suggested the
plan Of having the delegate convention
called for by the Lewis resolution take
up the income tax also.
Governor Cummins' plan for secur-
ing the popular election of senators is
by demand of two thirds of the legis-
latures Of the United States. When
such a number Of legislatures has asked
for submission of the amendment for
ratification, congress must, under the
constitution, call convention to pro-
pose the amendment, which would be
adopted when approved by three
fourths of the legislatures The same
plan would, of course. apply to an in
come tax amendment, and it was
thought that the campaign could be
carried on for the two about as easily
as for one
By championing an amendment to
the constitution to legalize the income
tax, Governor Cummins does not agree
with the many who have expressed the
belief that an opportunity should first
be given the United States supreme
court to reverse it's income tax deci-
sion. BY amending the constitution all
doubt would be removed, and for this
reason the amendment plan would be
considered the more direct anu certain.
That the income tax idea will be
popular in Iowa is certain. Governor
Cummins has preached against the en-
croachments Of predatory wealth upon
the rights of others until the people are
in the frame Of mind to approve cor
daily any proposition to put more on
the shoulders Of the rich. 1t will be
regarded as a short cut toward many
reforms advocated to restrict the oper-
atoms of capital.

An account Of baby being born from

and, according to local physicians. the
case is the first Of its kind on record.
The still.born child was sort of twin.
Twins by inclusion and in dermoid tu-
mors have not been uncommon, accord

mon, Of course. than ordinary twins
but this latest Japanese freak of nature
is unique because Of the foresight or

ago boy was born to Mrs. Yoshiii LEU
mil in Tomato Province. Upon the left
eye of the infant there was a protuber-
ance something like carbuncle. Day
by day the lump grew until it got to be
the size Of a toy balloon.
The boy, with his optical boy brother,
finally was taken to the Osaka Hospital.
When the tumor was cut out it was
with considerable trepidation. Within
the tumor the doctors beheld a diminu.
tive boy with a complete set Of limbs
and fingers. He was baby Izumils

But, Mr.. President" said the thrifty
