hARRY's CASE ISN'T HOPEFUL
1t Begins to Look Like He May Have
to Remain in tho Asylum the
Remainder of His Life

New York, Feb. 28.-AcCording to
reports received here Harry X. Thaw
is believed to be hopelessly insane. 1t
Is declared that alienists who have ex-
amined and observed him since he was
committed to Matteawan criminal in
sane asylum are convinced that he is
a paranoiac, and as paranoia is a pro-
gressive disease it would appear that
nothing short Of q miracle can inter
vene to secure his freedom.
In the present state Of Thaw's case,
his future is entirely in the hands of
the state boar1 of lunacy and the staff
Of alfenists in Matteawan. Custom
provides that when a man is committed
to the state hospital for the criminal
insane the doctors there should OBJ
serve him for sixty days and then
make a report upon his mental condi-
ton. if they see fit. Should such q re-
port be forced by Thaw's attorneys at
the expiration Of his first sixty days in
Matteawan it will certainly be ad-
verse to him.
DR.. Ferriss, head Of the state board
OF lunacy, on whose judgment Thaw's
chance OF liberty largely depended. was
one Of the alienists engaged by District
Attorney Jerome to testify in the first
trial Of Thaw. At that time DR.. Fer
Kiss was Of the opinion that Thaw was
a dangerous lunatic.
DR.. Ferriss was said to be Of the
same opinion still. This Is not borne
out by DR.. Ferriss himself, however,
who in an interview in Albany this at
ternoon said:
mo one can tell whether Harry
Thaw is sane or insane until relatives
and counsel quit visiting and advising
him. 1 called on Mr. Thaw once three
weeks ago. About all could get from
him was that. by advice Of counsel. he
was compelled to refuse to answer
questions. I have not been near him
since.
IF Thaw's relatives and lawyers
would let him alone for a while, Su-
perintendent Lamb might be able to
determine for himself the patients ex-
act mental condition. That would do
much toward determining how long he
is to be kept in Matteawan. 1 have no
intention of visiting Thaw again for
some time at least. He is in the care of
DR.. Lamb, and that official must ulti-
mately decide Thaw's state OF mind. 1
have at no time given an opinion that
Thaw is insane"

CANDIDATES FOR SENATE.

The friends Of both S. C.. Cook Of
N eenah and w. H. Hatten of New
London are urging them to stand as
candidates for the United States Sen
ate at the primary election IN this
state next September. Both are ex-
cellent gentlemen of considerable ex-
perience in legislative matters and
would make credItable members of
the senate and reflect honor on the
state. 1t is quite probable that "Un-
Gle Ike" Stehenson, who is now Sc
rving the unexpired term for which
Senator Spouner was elected, will also
be candidate for the full term and
will have the "machine" back of his
candidacy, IL being generally known
that he has spent large fortune In
building up machine In this
state, which eclipees anything of the
kind heretofore and which IS as selfish
and arrogant as 1t is possible to i'm
agine and directed by men whose only
object is to further their own political
interest and hold office. There may
be other candidates by the time the
primary election is held, and it be
come free fight for all, in which
case "Uncle Ike" would win out, for
he would have the money TO spend and
the "machine" to help him solidify
the reform" vote.

NO PARCEL POST LAW.

The proposed parcel pUst law Will
stand no chance of enactment during
the SixthIeth Congress. as the MEM
bers from the rural districts through
out the country have been flooded with
protests against such law and it is
now evident that the great mail order
houses in the large commercial centers
will be obliged to wait before they
can drive out of business the country
merchants and sell to the people in
ferior grade of goods and deceive the
people by making them believe, that
they are buying cheaper than they
could of the home mel chant-goods, as
has already been said in the columns
of The Leader, could not be sold in
the local market at the prices charged
by the mail order houses.

FAIR PLAY FOR
THE RAILROADS
A FIXED AND UNIFORM RATE
FOR ALL,
The misunderstanding Between
the Roads and Patrons Due
From Lack of Contact and L.
nOrdnCe Upon Part of Shippers
of the Cost of Transportation.

Into the bread We eat ent.r many
elements of cost, each affecting your
pocketbook the price of seed wheat
cost of blowing, sowing, cultivatlng
harvesting cost of teaming to elevator,
of elevator service, railroad freight
charges, rolling in flour mill, perhaps
Advertising, and jobbers' and retail
ers' profits.
All of these elements may vary
according to quantity and individual
notion, save the one item of railroad
freight charges. The teamsters haul
ing the grain to the elevator car make
one rate if he hauls fifty tons, ard a
lesser one if given five hundred; like
wise the elevator; likewise the mill
may purchase at varying prices, &C.
corclng to quantity. and the cost OF
advertising will depend upon the
space used-and the selling price te
the jobber or retailer very like ly
according to quantity purchased.
The only fixed element in the com
Detition of this me Sack of flour with
another is the freight. The railroads
have accepted the situation; it is te
De equal rates to all. and with that
policy no one can quarrel. But may
it not be asked tor the railroads Of
the United States, in relation to thiel
rates for freight and fares, consider
alton and fair play?
The principal misunderstanding
nowadays between corporations and
people is due to the lack of contact
and therefore lack of understanding.
1t is impracticable for shipper hav-
ing need of vast railroad machine t.
know all the officers and employees
concerned in moving his freight; nor
is it possible for these employees tc
know the Individual shippers. And the
human equation enters into these re-
lations as much as any other bust
ness.
If an employee is ignorant or over
worked or out of temper, a new anc
undesirable ''railroad policy" is
established for the time being in the
mind of the patrons. There are just
about as many RAILROAD policies" a:
there are employees, but If one couIt
