Outside Point of View

A few weeks ago a business man
in one OF our Iowa towns. without the
slightest apparent cause, in his rooms
over his place Of business started his
photograph playing Nearer Ny God
to Thee then kissing his wife as
he left the room, stepped into the
hallway and shot himself, dying in
stantly. SO plain were the circun-
stances no coroner's inquest was
deemed necessary However, there is
some inside history gathered from
reliable sources that while settling
nothing positively, presents new in
terest for those inclined TO study the
suicide mania. For it is now an al
most generally accepted theory that
the human being ending life by self
destruction is insane at the time the
deed is committed. Here is at least
one chance for the establishment of
the theory of emotional insanity. It
may be admitted that where so-called
emotional insanity causes a person to
Kill another It is open 10 argument,
nut a sane person from instructive de-
sire for life, which is apparent not
only in man but in all of the lower
animals. cannot commit suicide. But
that sane condition can be changed
into an insane condition this from
outward causes or by the mental con-
dition of the suicide, seems to be a
fair statement.
In this referred to case this much
is known. He had a brother that died
Of consumption. He once went to Colo
rado because he thought he was tu-
berculosis in tendency. Again. the day
ne committed the deed, he had taken
several drinks of Intoxicating liquors,
not SO that he was intoxicated, but
sufficient 10 cause his wife TO get him
away from business into their rooms.
where the effect would wear off. Again
his wife naturally reproved him for
drinking enough 10 foe noticeable. It is
an easy matter with this data to build
up clear case of emotional insanity.
Take for the starting point the dread
of dying Of consumption as his broth
er died. He had been told that whis-
ky would retard the progress of the
disease and he drank this whisky as
medicine. There is no question about
this part of the whisky drinking en-
tering as a factor in the tragedy. He
was neither 4 steady drinker," nor
subject TO spells of intoxication. But
under the influence of the liquor he
felt severely the words his wife used
when she saw he had been drinking
too much. And here is a fact to be
mentioned that destroys any attempt
10 build UP theory of self destruc-
ton as direct result of drinking the
liquors. All day long he was unusually
cheerful and jovial. Naturally so, the
whisky he had swallowed made him
more so. His business associates of the
town now remember how we'll he felt
that day And even when he started
the photograph there was nothing in
] his noticeable condition to Suggest the
/ terrible act soon to occur. The kiss
he gave the wife was one Of affection
( not of leave taking in appearance.
But some time, at some instant. that
brain ceased TO reason according to
natural laws. The dramatic incidents
following were brought about by the
working of the unnatural reasoning
/ powers of an insane man. But where
did this man have the attack? When
| did he become emotionally insane?

HOG CHOLERA AND IT'S ALLEGED
CURE
[Fort Dodge Messenger.1

fort Dodge Messenger
The regularity with which hog
cholera sweeps away the hogs has
become so common that not much is
said about it publicly any more. 1t
is fact no longer seriously consid-
cred by the people not directly losers
that during the past season alone
right here in Webster county the
swine plague has run thru the whole
territory south of Fort Dodge and de-
stroyed many thousands Of dollars
worth of hogs 1t has gotten so hog
raising has been placed in the classii-
cation OF hazardous occupations and is
considered just as speculative in Its
results as following the daily market
quotations on the board of trade.
The claim is now made that the
hog cholera serum that has been put
TO practical test prevents swine from
catching the disease. Il renders them
immune, but does not cure the dis
ease if the animal is not treated un-
til it has contracted the 7nalady. The
tests that have been made here with
in the past few weeks bear out this
statement. We only fulfill our duty
in giving this public assurance to
those who are unbelievers.

Obeying the law means exactly what
1t says Back doors and passagewaNs
to restaurants and resorts are in vio-
lation of the law. 1t may seem to the
liberal minded that compliance with
the spirit of the statute is enough, and
that some of the minor infractions are
harmless. Reckoned from what the
anti-liquor element is demanding, and
will continue to demand, this is a mis-
take. 1t is evident that the smallest
of infraetions will invite trouble and
that there is only one way for the sa-
loonkeepers to insure even a chance for
their business against the prohibition
movement, and that is to find out what
the law requires and then l1ew too the

The Waterloo Courier assumes that
eff congress is not allowed by the
bosses to take separate votes on some
of the important articles in the tariff
bill. those separate votes will be regis
tered by one man in the White House.
Taft has promised the people it would
be 50, and Taft is man of his word"
The Ottumwa Courier observes that
while the Chicago Tribune may or
may not be right in its position on the
Payne bill, it is fact that the editorial
policy of that paper has always leaned
to free trade. Its advocacy of protec-
ton has always been confined to the
three months just previous to ma
tional election"
The Iowa assembly has undoubtedly
pleased as many people as if it had
passed the resubmission resolution, but
will that make it any easier for the
members who want to go back to the
assembly two years hence? The liquor
problem still presents all the angles of
vexed question:" argues the Sioux
City Tribune.
How would it do to take the tax

Land sales in Iowa this year show
