oyerbrook Asylum Records.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear sir-Further proof that the
record keeping system at the Over
brook Asylum for the Insane, as
well as at the old South Orange
avenue institution, is In a deplor-
able condition is revealed by the
pass card granted to a person who
wished to visit Mrs. Catherine Lind
ner on February 10, 1904, which is
now in the possession of Prose-
cutor Mott. 8
This card is said by DR.. d. M. Dill
to be a forgery. AS a matter Of
fact, it is practically impossible to
tell whether this particular pass or
any others issued on the form used
are genuine or not. 1t puts the ques-
ton of authenticity OF forgery up
to the identification of a persons
writing. DIR. Dirs name is printed
on the card, and there is no coun-
ter signature or initial to identify
the person who issued the card.
Neither is there q rubber stamp seal
or date to show that the card vas
issued by someone in authority at
the hospital asylum.
Precautions of this sort T taken
In. every business house Of any I'M
portance. 1t would seem That a big
public institution like the Essex
county asylum would have the anne

THINKING AHEAD OF TIME.

There is noticeable these days In
the higher Institutions Of learning the
country over that there is a wider
and wider departure in the ethical
teachings thereof from the oIden or
thodox standard There is general
discussion in the periodical and even
the daily press Of the so-calIed new
ideas. new thought, new theology. But
It is not new. These advanced pillars
Of intellect are merely repeating the
skepticism Of two thousand years ago.
In the height Of Grecian culture there
were men yho ridiculed the gods, and
you win remember that Socrates was
put to death for impiety-about the
same brand of impiety pertaining to
a man who denies the divinity Of
Jesus.
The outburst of liberalism in the
ology is but step in advance of me-
liberalism. 1t lacks as much Of meet
ing the demands of science and in
tuition as did Puritanism, the advance
has been so little and slow. It will
soon be the fashion to divorce relig-
ion from all other affairs of men as
fully and completely as is possible.
Before long men will be judged by
code of material morals. Whatever
is fair and square and right between
man and man will be the standard
by which men are judged, and not
by their belief in creed or a hook
or a tenet Men win be classified
and approved or condemned solely
by what they do and how they do it,
and what they may or may not be-
lieve will have no Importance or sig
nificance This win be long time

IS HARTMAN AFTER A., 3. & Al

The formal transfer of the Central
Of Georgia railroad to the Hartman
Interests confirms the generally ac-
cepted inference which has been
gaining force for two years that the
great railroad manager has fixed and
extensive designs on the southeastern
section of the country. 1t especially
emphasizes the probability that he
has virtually acquired control Of the
seaboard. and it would not require
very active Imagination to credit
him with The purpose Of adding the
A.. b. & A. to his holdings. This
would make him and his people the
dominating railroad power in the

The RACE PROBLEM AGAIN.

John Sharp Williams Of Mississip-
ri the other day delivered an orator
to the students Of a western univer-
sity and chose as his topic the solu-
ton OF the race problem as betwee,
the blacks and whites He told hli
audience some plain and wholesome
truths, which is novel departqr'
from commencement day eloquencn
He has been violently attacked f.:
both his topic and its presentation
but after all he but brought to tn
notice Of his critics matter which
will soon thrust itself upon them with
an imperative demand for considera
ton and conclusion.
His main idea was that the negro
should and would spread all over the
entire country and make the problem
a national rather than a sectional one
in which we think he is measurable
mistaken. The negro VIII spread OF
move-as all men and all things do
in the line of the greatest attraction
and the least resistance. The attrac-
ton for the negro to so north and
west is decreasing, while the resist
ance is growing. AS such things
never stand still it is a reasonable
conclusion that they will shortly bal
ance and the negro will remain chiefly
in the south and that this section win
have to settle Tor itself the problem
of two races living side by side in
peaceful and amicable adjustment of
their relations TO each other. In ruder
and perhaps better days it would
have been settled by the bow and
spear-but that is now impracticable.
1t must be and viii be settled by the
black man taking a second but COM
Portable second place in the social
