Feagaville Notes.


IL looks as II II IS time to raise the dan
ger signal.
1t looks as if the people had made
great mistake in electing Taft. The people
do make great mistakes sometimes, but
they always have it in their power to
correct their mistakes.
There is not much doubt but that the
people begin to see that Aldrich and
Cannon ond Taft and high tariff are all
great mistakes.
Retire all Of these men and repeal the
dishonest tariff, and elect men who will
represent the rights and the best interests
of the people, and they will correct all of
the mistakes from which they are suffer
ting, and then be careful not to make no
more such mistakes.

The increase in the number of insane
persons in the United States as indicated
by the recent statistics. is out of proper
ton 10 the increase Of population. This
is in part due to greater effort in search
ing out and providing for the care and
cure of insane persons and in part. as
alienists insist, TO the more strenuous life
