RESPONSIBILITY AND INSANE AsYLUMs

From time to time the public Is
shocked and enraged by disclosure OF
horrible conditions in state hospitals
for the insane. The terrible story OF
abuses carried on at Dunning is but a
recrudescence Of conditions which
have been often exposed in many
so-called hospitals. The blood curdles
as the chapter of horrors is unfolded
and realization of the infamies perpe-
trated upon the helpless and irrespons-
ible becomes clear. There arises an
impulse to forsake the beaten paths
of Legal procedure and mete out in
slant and condign punishment to those
charged with supervision of state
charities as to the brutes who have
inflicted the horrors. The brutality
Of the slsylums is largely chargeable
to the inefficiency of the system, and
In these cases inefficiency is brutality.
But there is another and evident re-
sponsibility, neglected duty quite
as criminal and to be condemned on
the part Of the relatives and friends
of the insane in asylums. The insane
hospital is the logical and most human
itarian place for those thus afflicted.
Private families can not and should
not be permitted to care for their own
insane, who may develop homlcldal
mania, at any time. But there is no
reason why the sane members of the
family should consider their duty done
when they have turned over their un-
fortunates to the care of paid minions
of the state A natural suppositioll
would be that they would visit and
watch over them, careful that they
are accorded kindness, subjected to no
brutality, well fed and we'll lodged.
How rnany do it?
A commitment to the asylum is not
and ought not be considered as a liv-
ing burial Family responsibility does
not cease It is the duty of relatives
and friends to inform themselves as
to the treatment given their own.
Flowers on the graves of the dead
are beautifully suggestive of remem-
brance, but the common duty that
friend bears to friend and relative to
relative is truer test of affection and
loving care. If parents, brothers and
sisters owned their common duty, there
would be fewer horrors to relate of in
sane asylums and fewer brutes in
authority.

A GOOD WORKMAN.
(Charles city Intelligencer.)

(CnarleS City InLeluSeHCeT.)
"Luck chases the good workman to
do him favor" remarks the Atchison
Globe Nothing truer was ever said.
and yet it is not luck after all that
chases the good workman-it is the
reward of merit. All employers of labor
have had more or less experience with
the incompetent, complaining, dissat-
isf1ed workman who is constantly as
sorting that he is getting too little
wages for the work he is doing or
carping about thousand and one 9TH
err things. This is the kind of a fellow
who is always fomenting trouble
among his fellow workmen melting
strikes for higher wages or for some
fancied wrong or other. Such fellows
would growl and grumble if they got
the highest wages possible, and they
are the fellows who never earn the
wage they draw whether 1t be much or
little. On the other hand, we have the
workman who is always ready and
willing to take his share Of the good
or bad, as the case may be. He is the
fellow who does not drop his work the
minute the whistle blows or possibly
a little before, or keep his eyes on the
clock lest he put in a minute more
than he should He is the man who
does not measure his services by min
utes and hours, but by results. ana
consequently when there is something
better to offer he gets it, He Is the man
who gets the foremanship or Is invited
to take place in the firm He is the
fellow who always measures up to all
expectations of his employer and he 1t
is who always looks after the interests
of the firm before giving his own con-
sideration. The man who works for
the mere wage he gets on Saturday
night will never make any progress or
get out of the rut.

on the floor of the senate that there
were senators who thought that the
admission of Mr.. Payne, his contin-
uance in his seat without investiga-
ton marked the low-water mark of
the senate of the United States itself.

ator Hanna was the friend of the

and newspaper men at least have not
forgotten how, at the request of Mr.
Mr.. Hanna tried in 1890

vid r. Watson, to withdraw his suit
breaking up the trust-or the cynical
argument he used to persuade him:
You have been in politics long enough
to know that no man in public office
owes the public anything. Mr.. For
aker inherited Mr.. Payne's and Mr.
Hanna's duties, tho / have no idea
that either of them received checks
as Mr. Foraker has. They had no need
of that kind of remuneration"

liquor is sold. Such men have no OBJ
lection to the legal sale at the drug
stores, in fact are patrons of the drug
stores when they want liquor. Such
men see no harm in the moderate use
of beer and liquors, but they have come
to object to an Iowa liquor saloon,
with all of the strength of shouting
prohibitionist, this because ash gener-
ally conducted in our smaller towns,
saloons are hell holes with a big H.
It is not true that all saloons in
Iowa are conducted as hell holes, any
more than it is true that all drug
stores are whisky shops, but 1T Is a
fact that beer saloon in Iowa, run in
a small town, is about the most unde-
sirable place imaginable. These bus
mess men of Clarion and other towns
have seen them, have been in them
have patronized them. and then they
come home with no desire for such
place in their home town. Perhaps
Grinnell illustrates the point. In that
prohibition town, reside several demo-
Gratis and some republicans that advo-
cate high license. That's the way to
theorists always argue for the benefit
of the theory applied to some other
town. 'In Grinnell it would hurt the
town to have open saloons" while
Davenport and Dubuque should be
governed by high license system"
In an adjoining town one dealer said
to this scribe, 1--WE have shipped In TO
this town during the past month 500
cases of beer, and I think an open sa-
loon preferable" Another business man
of the town, asked about it, said If ne
had claimed eighty cases came here in
October it would be nearer the truth
And then this last speaker opened up
on the drug stores of the town, and his
figures were as startling on their sales,
as the man that claimed the town
shipped in 500 cases of beer In month.
And to one not radical on the liquor
question, observation and conversation
for many years with the business men
of three hundred towns in Iowa, forces
this conclusion. In the near future a
successful crusade against the open sa-
loon and the whisky drug store Will be
carried on, and many of these places
blotted out And such movement VIII
be aided and abetted by many mod
crate drinkers, and men 'who keep
liquor in the house." Why? Simply be-
cause the saloon and the whisky drug
store Of Iowa have become intolerabie
nuisances as at present conducted.

ANY franchise for a public service
corporation that runs the gauntlet Of
