ParanOia.
BY LEO.

paranoiac ,and his opinion is based
on the affidavits of seven learned
alienists. If the court concludes
thus, the trial for murder will
come to an abrupt ending; and
the prisoner will be sent to some
hospital for the criminal insane.
What is paranoia? To most OF
our readers it is all Greek, doubt
less. Well, it is all Greek-a Greek
word, not translated, but trans
ferred to our language. In plain
English, it means beside ones
self, a mad man.
A paranoiac is not an irrespon-
sible person. He may know well
the meaning of his acts, and the
quality of such acts, good or evil;
but under the influence of a bad
temper or ardent spirits, may
commit criminal acts, and be pun
ished as the law directs. Thaw
is technically sane, that is, he is
sane within the meaning OF the
law in the state of New York,
and may be sent to the electric
chair if a jury can be found to
convict him; but, in a psychologist
sense, he is beside himself, a par
anoiac, as the alienists call him.
A paranoiac is not a maniac,
but a person of unsound mind Ii
able to freaks and mad follies.
He is subject to delusions, and
under a strong provocation may
become a dangerous man, espec-
tally if under the influence of al
coholic drinks or sexual passion.
A paranoiac may pass through
life without becoming violently
insane if he be free from moral
faults, or if he be a religious per-
son. People will only notice that
he is somewhat cranky at times
especially under excitement. He
has not the best sense at any
time, make him mad, he has none
at all.
In the nature of things such a
mental ailment is incurable.
There is no way to reconstruct
the unbalanced mind. All alien
lists agree in saying that a para
noiac is incurable.
Now if Thaw is afflicted with
such a disordered mind he will
escape the electric chair and go
into the mad house. Jerome IS
right in the position he has taken
in the trial to the effect that
Thaw was sane, within the mean
ing of the law, when he shot his
rival. He knew what he was a
bout and knew he was doing
wrong; but still was psychology
ically of unsound mind man OF
abnormal egoism, a visionary and
liable to outbursts Of cruelty.
What shall we do with para
noiacs? We can not kill them all,
we can not find places for all OF
them in asylums, for they are too
numerous. There is no way to
deal with them, except to wait
for them to become a menace to
society, commit a crime, ndthen
send them to confinement.
Lawyer Delmas undertook an
impossible task when ne attempt
ed to prove Thaw temporarily in
sane, but usually sane. His own
witnesses, under. cross-examina-
ton, proved more than was want
ed of them, they made out ThaW
a paranoiac, and therefore per-
manently insane and incurable.
If the court will take this view,
a commission in lunacy will be
appointed; and if the commission
will report him insane, the tria

GOOD ROADS AND THEIR BENEFIT.

In am article ON good roads
Senator A. G.. Latimer. of South
Caroina,says. I contend that it
viii increase the facilities for
doing business, give labor em-
ployment, and bring millions of
dollars of farm products that
are now going 90 waste annu-
ally. into the markets and turn
them into money.
Tt is not necessary TO macad-
annie all of the public roads.
Take, for instance. county
that is thirty miles square with
1900 miles of public road i'm it.
I hold that 600 miles of macad-
amized road would cross the
county from one extreme 10 the
other twenty times, and put
three fourths of the people of
the county on a macadamized
road, and that ninety per cent
of the freight transported over
the roads Of the county would
pass over t he macadamized
road, and that the difference
saved in the cost of hauling
over the muddy roads and the
macadamized roads would, in
two or three years, pay for
building the 600 miles of ma
cadamized road. The average
cost per ton per mile for trans
pOrtation on the railroads of the
United States is now about
three-fourths of one cent. and
the average cost per ton per
mile for transportation on dirt
roads is twenty-five cents. The
average haul of farm products
and building material in the
United States is eight miles,
making at least ninety-eight

GOES AFTER REVIEW OF REVIEWS.


Sew York. April 3o.-In a
letter to the editor of the Re-
view of Reviews. President
Roosevelt takes exception TO
certain statements made i'm an
article on "phe Director I'm the
Public School, published in
the April number of that peri
odical, ind takes occasion to re-
new his expressions ON the sub
ject of race suicide.
"Ihis writer states clearly. ~
says the President, "that il is
an erroneous idea to assume
that the average family should
have "a larger ernumbero of healthy
children than the present birth
rate showed The vital statis-
tics of a State like Massachu-
setts show that there the aver
age native American family of
native American descent has SO
few children that the birth rate
has fallen below the death rate.
This, of course, means race
suicide, and it ought to be un-
derstOOd that if after a while
there are no children to go TO
school, the question of their
health in school would not be
even academic.
Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt
says: The greatest problem of
civilization is to be found in the
fact that the well-to-do families
tend to die out. There results,

HISTORIC BUILDING FOR SALE.

for sale at auction. This is one
of our most noted buildings.
IL antedates the Revolutionary
War and, with the exception of
some churches, there are but
few public houses as old and
none with richer associations OF
the past. The tavern was kept
by Weedon, who became "a
ajor-general in the Continen-
tai Army Gen Weldon was
brother-in-law of Gen Hugh
Mercer, fwho was a brigadier-
general in the same army when
he fell at Princeton. The
Rising Sun was a resort of
leading men of Virginia more
than l30 years ago. John Paul
Jones conferred with leaders of
the American Revolution there.
Washington, Mason, and the
Lees discussed the relations of
the colonies to the mother
country in this building.
Washington held a reception TO
his officers who had been with
him at Yorktown IN this old
tavern, among whom was La

viii be made 20 induce the So
ciety for the Preservation of
Virginia Antiquities TO secure
