THE MOUNT PLEASANT AFFAIR.

An eastern magazine publishes an
article from All anonymous CORE
spondent charging cruelty to the In
mates Of the insane asylum at Mt
Pleasant. Charges are made by the
writer Of the article that patients are
brutally beaten and go about with the
marks OF blows on their bodies and
faces. The article is unsigned but has
the endorsement, of the editor OF the
magazine who rouches for the truth
of the statements made by the author.
Anonymous communications are
rarely worthy OF notice and more rare
~ worthy of belief. However. this ar
ticla ia in a measure relieved OF
anonymity by the Endorsement OF the
Ever, were it completely an
anonymous assertion or even mere
rumor 1t calls for attention from those
who are responsible for the conduct
Of state institutions and the character
of the men employed in them.
If thousandth part of the charge
made in the magazine be true 1t is
time that cleaning were made at Mt.
Pleasant and that those in authority
over state inst buttons pay more at
tention to the objects of the institution
than to the expense of running 1t. II

would be particularly inattentive or
slow of comprehension who could not

The schools are natural clearing
houses for infectious diseases. They
need inspection by experts. They need
teachers with as much special knoWl-
edge of hygiene and prevention of dis
eases as may be procured. Perhaps
the time will come when the ability to
recognize the symptoms of common
and dangerous diseases will be as nee

COFFEE AND SUGAR.

The coffee imports in the nine
months ending with September, 1907,
amount to practically Sc million dol
lars in value, against a little more than
46 millions in the same months OF
1906: and the quantity imported In
the nine months of the present year
aggregate 7S2 million pounds. against
532 millions in the same months of the
preceding year. OF tea, the importa-
tions in the nine months ending with
September, 1907, amounted in value to
10h million dollars, against 91s mil
lions in the corresponding months of
1905, the quantity imported in the nine
months Of 1907 being SO million
pounds, against so millions in the same
months of the preceding year.
Cane sugar brought into the United
States amounted to 112 million dollars

tember, 1907, against 9S1s millions in

lion pounds, against 4,133 millions in

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Roosevelt is responsible for the
present panic" exclaims one of the
Wall street bankers This self-same
banker was removed from his official
position in bank, before JOS. Morgan
position in bank, before j. p. Morgan
and other millionaires came to rescue
of the bank. Roosevelt was response
BILE for his removal, too? All sorts Of
explanations are given for this pres
ent panic" The real cause was over
business. The country was trying to
do too large a business on too small
capital The immediate cause was that
in view of continental scarcity of cur
rency, when it became generally known
that certain SPECTATORS in stocks, were
using nearly all of the money in sew
eral banks they controlled, and that
the stocks they had accumulated were
not worth as much as the money they
had paid for them, and therefore these
banks had not sufficient currency i. e.
money or securities worth money, to
pay depositors. When all this became
public then at once the depositors
wanted their money and trouble COM
menced. WetShave had similar cases
here in Iowa, but for a wonder Roose-
vel was not considered the cause.
Roosevelt after all was the cause of
the panic. in this sense. He is largely
responsible for the awakened public
conscience, that will no longer permit
dishonest practices in corporate BUSH
ness transactions. Hartman probably
considers Roosevelt the cause of the
exposure of his outrageous Alton rail-
road deal. Rockefeller considers
Roosevelt the cause of the suits and
judgment against the Standard Oil
Company The Metropolitan City
Railway Company of New York un-
doubtedly blamed Roosevelt for the
publicity Of their dishonest proceed
ings. And so the four deposed bank
officials of Wall street, whose removal
from office was demanded by ]. p.
Morgan, before he would extend the
helping hand, each and all of these
can blame Roosevelt. mo rogue e'er
felt the halter draw with good opinion
of the law"
Our prohibition friends are feeling
coed these days. They have a right
"a. "Things are coming their way
The south, the whole south, the demo-
cratic south. is rapidly becoming a
prohibition community. Better than
all, this prohibition is the real article.
It means much more than Iowa or
Kansas prohibition-so called. But our
prohibition friends still confuse mat
tiers. They always did think there
was something in the word prohibition
that was like high credit mark in
T.radstreet's report. That a prohibit
ZIONIST per Sc was a better man than
a high license theorist. They have al
ways apparently forgotten that prollf-
bition is nothing but plan, system
for the control of the liquor traffic.
That high license, low license, Gutten-
burg and South Carolina schemes are
ether plans, other systems. They ap-
parently feel that in this latest big
move toward prohibition, that the
J whole south are becoming teetotlers.

CARNEGIE ON SPORTS.

Mr.. Carnegie rarely speaks but to
elimination. At Princeton the other
day he told the students of that insti-
tuition that college sports ure OF Inn
portance and should be carried on as
"a necessary part Of college life" And
Mr.. Carnegie was much nearer right
than that other philanthropist who of
fered a Pennsylvania college a million
conditional on abandonment of athlet-
les.
Some men. and athletes at that. learn
the real value OF athletics late in life.
They ran with the track team. played
base ball or foot ball in youth for the
pure love OF the game and without
thought Of the physical and moral val
ne of profuse perspiration followed
by bath and rub Perhaps when
years of confinement and attention to
business had loosened their muscles
and damned their livers with torpidity
they went afield again and learned the
true lesson of athletic exercise. For
1t takes outdoors and active work or
play TO bring back the brightness to
faded eyes. the spring to weakened
muscles and sturdy, compelling
stroke to the blood pump.
College, school and all honest ath-
letics are necessary part of present
day life. 1t is when the college man
puts aside his chance of usefulness to
become professional that the other
side of college athletics is seen and de-
cried; and when he follows sport for
the love Of it to the detriment of his
in private life. Sports
build up a stalwart body to care for
strong mind, and professional sport
is no field for the employment Of fine
minds, genius and useful talent.
AS the years go and we learn more,
sports will be more common and easily
INDUCED in. We shall have public
base ball diamonds, golf links, tennis
courts, etc, readily accessible to all.
National indigestion and liver COM
plant will drive us to establish them.

THINGS A TEACHER SHOULD KNOW.

DR.. Lesan. of Mt. Ayr, speaking to
the convention of health boards at Dies
Moines, in advocacy of medical inspec-
ton of schools, made a suggestion that
should com mend itself TO county
school superintendent. He would have
lectures befo.e teachers Institutes by
specialists on symptoms of infectious
diseases and those Of eye, nose and
throat, diseases not readily recognized
and of very dangerous class.
All physicians and most thinking
people will agree with him. 1t would
be very easy to secure fairly well
equipped specialists among the ply
sicians of every county to speak plain
~ and to the understanding of teach
ers on the m ore apparent symptoms of
