Your commission cannot close their
report without commencing in the
highest terms the administration of
the present hospital for the INDECENT
insane at Chattahoochee. We found
that the superintendent, the ply
|sicians and the staff of nurses were
discharging their delicate duties in
such manner as to secure for the
inmates every comfort possible under
existing conditions. We noted that
t he presence of the superintendent
and of the physicians were hailed
with demonstrations of joy and affec-
ton wherever they went with rs over
the grounds and through the build
ings. Such demonstrations as could
never be counterfeited by the patients
in the hospital
We therefore feel that these faith
full servants richly merit the approval
and confidence of every good citizen
in the state.

also 20 cast slurs upon the Jennings
administration. The Sun has stated
previously and will state again that
the reason why the TimesrUnion
seeks to question the honesty Of these
administrations is because the Jen-
nings administration denied the legal
ity CT the legislative grants made the
railroads and refused to deed the peo-
pies land TO the railroads. The rail-
road ownership of the Times-Union
must be remembered when these
things are recited The Legislature
has given the public lands away three
times; first TO the Internal Improve
ment Trustees; next to the railroads
and next to the public school fund
By virtue of its trusteeship of these
lands for the people the Jennings
board held that the prior grant should
obtain and this policy has Deen fol-
lowed and emphasized by the Brow
ard administration The Times Union
is particularly displeased with Brow
ard because he defeated the Times
and the railroads were consequently
denied the possession of these lands.
The question of attorneys fees or
any other subject that offers pretext
for condemnation of Broward and his
administration is seized by the Times
Union and used to influence the ig-
norant and unthinking. This is the
motive of its attacks, ad when this
is known no further attention should
be given it.
But consideration is due to those
people who are misled by such allus-
ions. The Times Union suggests that
there is something crooked at Tai
iahassee and the smaller papers echo
the suggestion and the people begin
to wonder if there isn't something
crooked. 1t is perfectly natural. The
newspaper is the greatest means of
disseminating information of public
affairs and if the newspapers are
wrong and careless and ignorant the
people will readily fall into the same
error. They are guided in their opin-
ions by the public prints.
Thus it is for the justice of things
that the Sun has delved into the
records and has dug out one at time
the items paid to lawyers by the trus-
tees since the creation of the trust.
The most surprising thing that this
record discloses is that one man was
paid a third of the money expended
prior to the Jennings administration
and that this man was during a part
Of the time drawing a salary from
the state as attorney general, that
he was paid general retainer after
ward and was then. paid additional
money when he did anything; and
when there was anything undertaken
Of Importance associate counsel was
employed to assist him.
It must be observed that the trus-
tees had very little litigation prior to
the Jennings administration. There
was little cause for II. Former adj
ministrations did nothing towards
saving the land; they decided it with
out question to the railroads. Jen-
nings was the first governor to put

a hating hand upon the pillage and
Broward was the first governor to
take any active steps toward reclaim
ing the lands and making them of
some real value to the state.
Employment of Jennings.
The point upon which the contro-
versy is pitched is the employment
by the Broward board of former Gov
ernor Jennings as counsellor at sal
airy of $4,000 year. At is argued that
this sum is too large and that the
board is extravagant in retaining
special counsel To indicate that the
charge is unreasonable the Sun has
epitomized the amounts paid to at
torneys during the period from 1879
to 1856, which covered the two cases
of importance IN the history of the
trustees prior to the Jennings term.
This covers period OF about seven
years and shows an expenditure for
legal services OF $37,389.85. The
period OF six years covering both the
Jennings administration and the
Broward term to Jan. /, 1907, shows
s24,100.24 and of this last amount
the fees paid to counsel other than
the regular counsel was for the great
er part in consideration for services
prior to the Broward administration
and leaves a sum of only $10,757.01
paid TO the regular attorney.
These facts cannot be disputed;
they cannot be questioned. The
special counsel has made a report
which is published in the report OF
the trustees showing the service per-
formed. He shows that suits are
pending against the trustees and
standing of them. He makes the only
comprehensive report of legal SER
vices ever made TO the Loard, and it
is certainly of the greatest import
ance at this time that special and
competent counsel should have the
they attack the very life of the trust
This condition has never before ex-
listed, and the people should know
that the Times-Union represents the
interests antagonistic to the life OF
the trustees and the trust they rep
resent, and 1t calls for investigation
with the sinister secret purpose of
converting the property held in trust
by the trustees TO the possession of
the railroads.
Judge Haney's Fat Fees.
1t is possible withaI that the people
are more inquisitive now than they
were some years ago. A cry is raised
because the trustees employ special
counsel at a reasonable salary when
there is real need for an attorney, but
so far as the record shows nothing
was said when fee of $4,000 was
paid for legal services during the
