The County and the Insane

It was just about a year ago that the Palladium called attention to
the deplorable custom Of housing the insane in the county JAIL The par
tcuar occasion for this wa the contract Of the county for caring fol its
insane while seriously considering the expenditure Of some thousands Of
dollars for voting machines.
A. year has passed and with the exception OF occasional spurs OF
activity and feelings of conscience pangs. there has been little done-e1
cept discussion about t-and about.
The county board of charities is actively demanding nat there 81 a
addition made to the Jail TO ARE for the violently insane.
There have been suggestions of a ward at the County Poor Farm.
An occasional legal advisor comes forward with a n opinion that
this or that is wise Or legal or illegal and foolish.
1t is noticeable that nothing is done.
The only point that we are concerned with is simply to TAKE CARE
OF THE INSANE PROPERLY.
We do not believe any cares as to the precise method this is done
BUT THE THING TO DO is TO DO IT.
A man is a man.
A county is a division OF society.
II w are to expect nan to respect soiety-then you and all of US
have ito face this simple proposition of the insane.
Good God!
What is all this ak about?
There is n question about the essential crime of keeping a insane
man in a steel cage without proper attention. .
There II no question about that.
Enough talk and enough time taken.
The thing is to Ear for the insane properly.
The time was when the insane were shakled in prisons and then
the world awoke to the enormity Of the act
Moderns shrink from that period.
Wayne County still keeps its insane at the county jail without prop
er attention.

THE TRoTTlNG OUTLOOK.

Fast Work Promised by Country's
Leading Track Horses.
The season Of 1910 promises to be
graced by some of the most stirring
~free-for-all trots and others in the ex-
treme fast classes that any enthusiast
could desire. At least that Is what a
survey of the material for a series of
such races would appear to give full
warrant for. The following Is a list

A few superstitious ones still regard

Now Mrs. Mogg has died and has
left $4,000 to a hospital. whereat the

Burying dogs and other animals with

InE NAN BEHIND TIE LAW.
Governor Deneeu Of Illinois. togeth-

1t Is a fine story.
The party. occupying an automobile,
was returning from q club reception
near Peoria and was stopped by q po-
liceman names: Hill.
"You haven't the required number Of
lights on your car. and. besides, you
have exceeded the speed limit" said
the policeman.
See here" interrupted the chauffeur;
"cut this out. Those are big people.
When you know who they are you will

II don't car who they are; they
can't violate the law" answered Po-
liceman Hill.

chief executive. standing up in the

The policeman almost fell OF his mo-
torcycle when he saw the governors

Il agree with you" replied the gov

Guess I'd better send you down to
the station and see what the sergeant
says" said Hill.
The automobile was driven to the
station. where the parties were book

1t reads like those army incidents In
which the generals party approaches
the picket line and is refused admis

orders to admit no one without the
proper password.
Policeman Hill enforced the Law
without distinction OF persons.
The governor was quick to see thu
policeman's point. and he set a gooi
example by prompt obedience to thu

Proper law enforcement must in

FRIENDLY MEETING OF TWO MEN
HIGH IN NATIONAL LIFE RE-
Suits IN LITTLE DEBATE ON
SUBJECT or POLITICS.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 16.-Gifford
Pinchot and Speaker Joseph G.. Can
o engaged in an extemporaneous
debate upon the subject of c~onserva-
ton before the Knife and Fork club
last night. While each gave express
sion to the highest personal regard
for the other and both agreed that
conservation of the natural resources
should be encouraged, they differed on
the question who was the father of
conservation.
Mr.. Cannon, who spoke first, said
that the late j. ". Powell, at one time
director of the government geological
survey. deserved the honor, but Mr..
Pinchot asserted that Theodore Roose-
welt was the father of conservation.
The little debate followed a most
friendly meeting between the two men.
The two men we're given a rousing
reception as Mr.. Pinchot offered his
arm to the speaker and started toward
the guests table. Uncle Joe" pushed
Mr.. Pinchot ahead, declining his arm.
desiring to emphasize that he realized
the ex-forester vas the specially invit-
ed guest Of the evening.
Mr.. Cannon explained that he was
IN his way to Winfield, Kas., to
make his first chautauqua appear
ance."

ing nc fee for my present appearance"
He said that conservation and re-
clamation were important subjects,
but that they were not his specially.
Il never specialize except in the
business Of playing car" he said.
Columbus the Only Pioneer.
Speaker Cannon said Columbus
broke an egg and made it stand on
end, and hat any man could do the
same thing after Columbus had shown
him how.
"And ]. w. Powell was the father OF
conservation" shouted the speaker.
It was Powell. he said, who appealed
to him when he was chairman of the
committee on appropriations to do
something for conservation.
Il sen Powell to Senators Hale and
| Allison, and the senate, as a result OF
his conference with those senators,
started legislation to withdraw all pub.
lie lands that could be irrigated, as
well as all reservoir sites.

islation, but the senate fought it, but
in 1890 the civil sundry bill as passed
contained a provision Withdrawing all
the water power sites and that was
the pioneer work of conservation.
I'VE lost in our fight with the sen.
ate in our efforts to withdraw from
entry all public lands that could be ir
rigated, but we won on the other
proposition"

Turning to Mr.. Pinchot. Mr.. Cannon
said. Il have the greatest personal re
gard for you, but l understand that
you are nov engaged in conservation
