This, I think, is a good question for

80. That this section consider the
advisability Of appointing a committee
to see whether any national lesisla-

and insanity.

that the States adopt Legislation similar

Mr. Wilson. OF Washington, followed
In a discussion of Interstate Cimity
and Cooperation" saying that the
national capitol is lodestone which
attracts many insane persons.
He classified as insane many of the
persons who go to Washington every
year with a burning desire to see the
President or some other important
Federal official about some wild
scheme or other, and who are usual
ly designated by the term "cranks"
Mr.. Wilson says the question of the
migration Of such persons as we'll as
paupers of other types is a question

consideration by all the States.

he declared. The District also sends
away several hundred dependent per-
sons every year who are not insane,
but the officers there experience their
greatest difficulty with the insane,
because such persons cannot be given
railroad ticket and put on the train
and left to look out for themselves as
can other people.
The Difficulty.
1t Is necessary that these persons
be taken in charge by some competent
person, and that they shall be turned
over to some responsible person at
their destination. Here is where the
difficulty arises, without definite laws
as to legal residence and settlement
inlthe various States and no central
authority to settle disputes. In some
States the public authorities arc
prompt to accept their responsible
ity for the care Of residents having
legal claim. Some States bear the
cost of returning to their homes in
sane persons who escape to other COM
munties, but unfortunately many pub

LEG1sLATURE SHOULD ACT.

Pend d'OreiiIe Review.
The Republican state ticket was elected
by reduced majorities this year over those
Of TWO years ago, There are several
and foremost reason being the number Of
unrcdeemed pledges OF the Republican
legislature OF TWO years ago. Governor
Gooding endeavored to bring about a
recognition OF these party pledges and
his message contained all the pledges
that had been adopted In the platform
aud some others outside which would
have been for the benefit OF the state.
The legislature, however, soon quarrelcd
among its members and when the session
was adjourned its crimes OF omission
We're many. IN fact, II had accomplished
few. II any, OF the tasks which had been
placed before il by the Republican state
platform OF 1906. Among the bills which
fell by the wayside was i direct primary
bill a primary law had been promised
10y the platform of 1906. but the Iagls-
latorS haggled over the question as TO
whether. the platform called Tor ''di-
rect primary or not with the result that
no action whatever wGs taken, The plat
form this year does not contain n pri
mary plank. but every prominent Repub-
lican outside OF one notable exception mas

I'D by the legislative session, No party
can afford to leave its pledges unre-
deemed; and while the people Will and
have forgiven one lapse they are very
likely to resent further delay.
Tie returns from the election Indicate
that the Republicans must be very caro-
iul to walk In the straight and narrow
path with respect 10 Its pledges IL
cannot afford 10 ha arrogant. With
united Democracy it would have even
less percentage OF majority in the state
and II behooves the organization to care
fully consider contemplated legislation
with the one object OF giving the people
fair and square deal. The result of
the campaign In this state in 1910 WILL
he up To the legislative session OF The

Iheso arc mighty interesting hguFes,
aud they show that the farmers Of
America are in the princely class. They
are the great producers of the world,
and they got for themselves the bene-
fit of their products, Which is pre-.
cisely as it ought to be. The producer
is entitled to what he produces, and in
this country, as in no other, he gets 1t.
The American farmer is his own boss
and he produces according to his own
will. And both the government and
the public at large rejoice in his sue
cess and would add to his returns rather
than take away from them. It is the
American farmer who feeds the world.
