Not Followed Here.
is CONSIDERED AN EVIL
HOWEVER ALL THINGS POSSIBLE
ARE DONE TO DIVERT THE
THOUGHTS OF PATIENTS FROM
THEIR AILMENTS HOWEVER.

Way off yonder in st. Louis twenty
women inmates of the city insane asy
lum were touring the shopping district
the forepart of the week, jostling and
elbowing in the same manner as their
sisters, buying right and left. and, with
normal shrewdness, buying what is
left right 1t is a new plan of the
asylum management. by which t
hopes to divert the err2tic minds Of
their patients into normal channels.
Here in Richmond it was admitted by
brain3torm meteorologists that shop
ping is a desirable stimulant for the
insane. But there were no excursions
made during the last week out of
Easthaven. superintendent s. Z.
Smith at Eesthaven. however, believes
that everything possible should be
done to divert the insane patients from
their ills and troubles.
The superintendent Of the St. Louis
asylum is the reputed author of the
shopping cure. His plan is to take a
group of about twenty patients through
the happy hunting grounds under the
supervision of several guards in multi
The excursion is to be punctuated by a
luncheon at one of the department
stores, giving a convenient interim for
the comparison of cloth samples over
plates of three cornercd club sand
witches.
If any member of the Main street
shopping host hearing of the st.
Louis plan, cast apprchensive chances
to spot demented people the fore part
of the week. then they wasted precious
moments that should have been con-
centrated on the merchandise.
No" said one of the Easthaven at
tendants. I'VE had no idea of following
up this ST. Louis idea. which sounds
rather far-fctched. OF course we
agree that any innocent diversion has
a beneficial mental effect, but we fear
that patients would get lost if they
were ever introduced to those Main
street crowds. We shall stick to the
plan of arranging walks through the
woods and like diversions"

RoosEvELT's NEW SECRETARIES

The newly appointed secretaries
may have been chosen from Roose-
Wits tennis cabinet" but withal If re-
ports are true they have practical
ideas that promise well even in an adj
ministration where innovations are
not rare.
Secretary Straus. 1t is announced,
has started to reform the entire steam
boat service, especially in the line of
steamboat inspection. He thinks that
the efficiency of the service, and con-
sequently a reduction of disaster can
he secured by keeping the inspectors
shifting from station to station. He
hopes to prevent less certifying of de-
ficient ships by removing the chances
for bribery. Hereafter inspections
are to be made four times a. year in
stead Of annually as is now the prac-
tice, and has ordered extra precau-
lions to be taken in inspecting steam
ers engaged in summer excursion
business. In the light of rumors con-
.erning recent disasters both on ocean
and inland waters 1t would seem that
Secretary Straus was striking hard
At one OF the gravest evils to be cor
rected in his department.
Secretary Garfield of the interior
department is also mapping out some
thing practical when he announces
he will spend the greater portion of
the summer in the West familiarizing
himself with Western conditions and
public land affairs by personal obser-
walton and consultation with field off,
GERS rather than through official cor
respondence.
There has always been a great COM
plant. in the West. that the bureaus
of the departments at Washington had
little or no practical knowledge of the
actual conditions, This is especially
true IN the land and Indian DEPART
ments. And when It Is announced
that Secretary Garfield and Land Com
missioner Rallin~er are to take the
field and supplement- their denart-
mental knowledge by real contact
with existing conditions it is fair to
presume that there will be lain a
good basis for practical reforms in
local land offices and in the inspection
service in the fields.

Adolph S. Ochs, who while still I'M
der 80 years of age has attained rank
among Americas foremost newspaper
publishers, was born in Cincinnati,
March IL. 1858. His parents had emil
grated to the United States from Ger
many. While a young boy Adolph re
moved with his parents to Knoxville,
Tenn, and it was in that city that he
received his public school education
and began his career. From the time
he left school till he reached man
hood he was in turn newsboy, a clerk
in a grocery store, a druggists ap-
prentice and printer. During most
of this time he attended night school
in order that he might become better
educated. At an age when most young
men are beginning to figure on their
future calling young Ochs became
publisher of the Chattanooga Times,
which was his first newspaper VEN
ture, and of which he is still propri-
ietr A year later he established a
trade publication which was a finan-
cial success from the start and from
which he made enough money to pur-
chase a controlling interest in one Of
the great metropolitan dailies of New
York. Not yet satisfied with the ex-
tent Of his operations. Mr.. Ochs a few
years later bought two Of Philapel-
phia's leading newspapers, and is to-
day, at the beginning of his 50th year,
the proprietor Of four great newspa-
pers, and has in addition many other
interests.
