INSANITY LAWS.
The New Statute of the State of
Illinois.

The New Statute of the State of
Illinois.
BY a new law of the State of Illinois
the cost of caring for insane persons
not INDECENT is put upon the estates or
the families Of the insane. Until now
the public treasury has paid all ex-
penses of inmates of State institutions
except where relatives nave been will
ing to pay for clothing, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
The new law, in addition to removing
the insane from county a~lmshouses,
missioners Of Public Charities to col
lect from the estates or the families
of the insane. where they are able to
pay, the full cost of the maintenance of
such patients. Special agents are to be
appointed to perform the work of col
lection in order hat the relations be-
tween the superintendent and their
patients may not be affected in any
way by payment or non-payment.
II only seven States of the union is
the whole cost of the maintenance of
the insane met by the State. In TWEEN
ty-nine 1t is met by the family of the
patient or by his estate whenever it is
possible to collect anything. In four
States patients are taken without re-
gard to the financial condition of the
family, but receive special privileges if
paid for. In several States, especially
at the South, patients with money are
almost never sent to public institutions,
but cared for in private asylums.
On the basis Of the report of the Mas
sachusetts asylums, the Illinois COM
m~issioners estimate the income to be
derived from paying patients in this
State at 100000, With this money adj
ditional facilities could be provided, and
either a larger number of patients
cared for OF better treatment insured.
The principle is to be applied to the
asylums that those who can pay must
help care for those who cannot. This
course is also in accordance with the
older statute, which provides that any
person who is unable to earl a living
because of lunacy must be supported
by his nearest relatives if they are
capable.
In Indiana the principle which has
been followed for three-quarters of a
century is that the charitable institu-
tions of the State are on the same
basis as the public schools and should
be supported by taxation without re-
gard to the question whether the tax
payer has a relative in them or not.
In Illinois there is felt to be a diff
%erence. 1t is a benefit to the community
to have all children on an equality in
the public schools, and invidious an3

W A. Young, Hargis' attorney, lives
1T NIorehead, Rowan county, which ad-
Joins Elliott county, and which is the
nearest railroad point 20 that county.
Young regularly practices IN lhe
courts of Elliott county. A few weeks
ago he acquitted two men at Sandy
Hook. who were charged with murder.
He knows the county like book Con-
sequently the judge is accused of lean
ing toward the defense. Elliott county
contains many people who are reia-
tives Of Judge Hargis, although the
judge denies it.
When the announcement was mdde
the attorneys for the prosecution were
dumfounded. From long practice IN
mountain courts they were prepared
for high-handed dealings, but this was
the worst they had ever experienced.
Then Carnes adjourned court The
men prosecuting Judge Hargis have
begun to realize that it is almost a

in a way that showed that they
meant business. And then these
mountain men, that have never be-

skunk away.
Never in a Kentucky mountain
court room has a judge created
such a sensation as that perpe-
trated by Judge Carnes when, after
a ten-minUte session of court, he
ordered every man in the house
searched for firearms
There was trouble in the air,

jurist. Every man must leave the

searched as he returns"
Within two minutes the court
room was cleared Soon the men
began returning. Six soldiers stood
at the courthouse door. At first
they ran their hands over the hip
pocket region of the mOuntaineers'
clothing. And then one Of the sol
diers who had seen service in
mountain feuds previously suggest
cd that hip pockets are hardly ever
used any more for these mountain
guns. After that the bodies of the
men under their left arms were
felt Only one revolver was discov-
cred. But over 100 were left at a
store nearby.
Judge Carnes himself was
searched. but he was not armed.
Judge Hargis. the accused man, was
