Harry X. Thaw feels very certain that

body is of his opinion. He wishes the
question Of his mental soundness to be
passed On by Il jury, feeling confident
that he will be liberated

liberty except by the verdict Of "a jury,
unless in cases occurring In the land
and naval forces, which have no relation
to this.
But Mr.. Thaw had the whole question
Of his sanity passed upon by "A jury on
his trial for the murder Of White. The
jury decided him 10 be insane, not on
the theory, conveniently put forward in
some cases, that he was sane the
moment before he fired the fata! shot,

Of long standing, 10 fact, congenital On
the verdict Of a jury on this evidence he
was decided to be insane Hardly had
this verdict been pronounced when Mr..
Thaw profoundly impressed with his

have studied his case agree that he is OF
unstab le mental condition and that the
past shows that it is homicidal. Dr..
Ferris adds that "for the safety of the
community patients with Mr.. Thaw's
unfortunate hereditary faint, with his
long history of mental alteration and
with his instability of mental poise and
demonstrated homicidal impulse, should
be cared for in a hospital for people of
his mental class" Matteawan, he con-
tinues, is not a penal institution, and
unfortunate sick persons COINED there
are not punished. He thinks that Mr..
Thaw's experts at his second trial prov
ed that he was affected with constitu-
tional affection that will not terminate
in recovery.
1t remains to be seen whether Thaw
is entitled to another trial by jury to as
certain the state of his mind. If the
courts decide that he may be taken out
and tried from time to time to see
whether he has recovered or not, it is
only question of time when he will be
set free. DR.. Ferris thinks he is a per.
victim of periodical insanity,
but it is doubtful that this will be the
final verdict in his case, if it is to be re-
opened. Sooner or later the chances are
that he will be freed, though several
authorities think him a danger

There seems to be some question OF

though it seems to be conceded that the
Republicans will have no difficulty in
that regard. This is a situation which
should be taken advantage of by the
rank and file of the Democratic party.
The Democratic managers should not
ask the men of great wealth and the
special interests to contribute the means
to carry on the campaign for with them

THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1908.

The Bureau of Labor has issued Its
annual report on wholesale prices GOV
ering eighteen years from 1890 20 1907.
The report deals with 25S commodities.
1t shows that as whole these commo-
dities reached higher level during 1907
than during any period in the eighteen
years. The average price from 1890 TO
1899 is put at 100 and the prices for the
other years are given on this scale.
On this basis the commodities men
toned had value in 1890 of ll2.9 In
1891 there was decline to I'LL, in 1877
70 1OG / and in 1893 to 1888. That
year the panic came and in 1894 prices
were down to 9G1 They continued to
decline until 1897, when they were 80. Z.
This was the lowest point reached dur
ing the eighteen years. In 1898 the
price was 90 A. and in 1899 it was lOl.7.
They advanced to lib in 1900 and re-
coded to 1855 IN 1901. The next two
wears there was slight increase, and in
1904 prices ran trihe lower than in
1908. Ia 1905 there was an advance,
and still larger rise in 1906.
The next year, 1907, shows the high
est prices of the series and October was
the highest month. In that month
prices reached the highest point of the
whole period being y per cent higher
than the average for 1907 The prices
of all commodities for the year were
1895 which was A per cent higher than
the lowest point reached in 1897.

DIET TO CURE sLEEPLEsSNEss.
Common Causes Of lnsomnia-lndi-
gestion and Hunger.

DR.. William Stevens says that In
somnia is not a disease itself, but the
effect OF an unhealthy condition OF
body or mind. When the cause Is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases Of it which would not yield TO
any treatment and for which change
of air or of scene became necessary.
But such cases as these should not
occur. and do occur only when
the sufferer has neglected precautions
that should have been taken when the
trouble first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed IL attended to In sea-
son The most common cause is found
In the digestive organs. Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as a fea
ture of Indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awake
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleepessness, since what will agree
with one man viii disagree with an
other. But two things that may al
most always be recommended are let
tuCe and celery.

that among them all there is not one

the lot OF old gloves now there, a
dozen or more have at least one finger
gone. The ticket sellers watch for
men who have fingers missing and
try to match them up with gloves that
correspond. With that exception
most OF the gloves go to waste

The democracy of the state is taking
considerable interest in the fall cam
paign, which will soon be with u.s. The
names of several prominent men have
been mentioned in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination and in that
list is NJ II Hoyt of Milwaukee. If the
democrats of the state should select Mr.
Hoyt they will have a standard bearer
who will be n credit to the party. He
is fearless, outspoken man and one
who may always be relied upon to do
something. For years he has done val
liant work for the party in this state
through his paper, The Daily News, and
while he has, no doubt, made some enc
mics because Of his firm stand for what
he thought was right, he has made
thousands of friends among the best
people Of the state. If he should be no.
minated and the result prove favorable
to the party, and the indications are
that it will, he will give the people a
business administration and cut down
the expenses. which have been piling up
for some years to such point that the
taxpayer will have no cause to find fault
Hoyt for governor sounds good to us.

II think man in escorting woman
always should walk between her and the
other person on the sidwalk, said an
American who recently returned from
Germany after several years there. Il
am much opposed to the custom by
which man, in accompanying a wo-
man in the streets, always walks nearer
the curb. The Germans have settled
that question admirably. A German
invariably walks nearer the center line
of the pavement than the woman does,
and thus protects her from the jostling
to which American women are often
subjected. In throng American men
and women turn to the right in passing,
and consequently if the escort, by the
American custom, is on the right of the
woman, persons going in the opposite
direction bump into her. If the escort
walked on the inside he would be her
guard. Elk.
