and indications of moderate trade re-

course, is due to the harvest, which is
proving more satisfactory than at one
time deemed probable. September
thus far has been a month of steady
sections of the country. Recent re-
ports of the government on cotton and
other crops were certainly unreliable,
because they included an excessive
amount of bias, which should have
been carefully excluded by the govern
ment experts. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve that the condition of cotton de-
clined 6 points in August, and the
department officials ought not to have
been misled by the extraordinary eff
forts in the south to exaggerate crop
damage. This campaign of deception
may easily prove q boomerang, for
should the farmers find they have

advice to hold cotton for Ia cents they
are likely to rush their holdings into

KANsAs TEADs AGAIN.

In one other particular is Kansas
we'll to the front among the states OF
the union in an activity that is decid-
edly worth while. This instance is in
the provision it is making for the
proper care and treatment of the un-
fortunates confined in its insane hos
pitals who are sufferers from tuber-
culosis. 1t was only a little while ago
that the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
which has become such an effective
aid in the fight against the great white
plague, issued a bulletin calling at
tention to the fact that the states as
a whole were woefully weak in caring
for tubercular insane patients. This
bulletin pointed out that of the 225
state insane hospitals of the country
only 70 of them made any pretense of
providing special facilities for the care
of such unfortunates.
Stress was laid in the bulletin on
the need for such special attention to
consumptives among the insane in a
few statistics that speak for them
selves. The percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane is so
to 200 per cent higher than among
the general population. And among
the inmates of insane hospitals there
are from 28 to 3s cases of tuberculo-
sis among each thousand of the in
mates as compared with from 10 to
15 cases among the people generally.
These being the facts, it is apparent
that the danger is a great one of tu-
berculosis spreading out its tentacles
to an alarming extent among ali the
inmates of the insane institutions un
less special provision is made for the
care of the tubercular patients.
The state board of control of Kan
sas has been quick to recognize the
Importance Of this It succeeded fl
naIIy at the last session of the legisla-
ture in getting an appropriation for
the erection of a special pavilion for
the care of the tubercular patients in
connection with the state hospital To-
Gated just west of Topeka Rapid
progress has been made in the con-
struction of this building 1t will not
be long before it is in readiness for
occupancy, and then the Topeka state
hospital will be in position to care
for it's insane patients in the most ap
proved fashion. And this is only a
beginning. It is the hope of the
board of control that a subsequent
legislature will provide the means for
the establishment of a similar pavilion
at the other large state insane hospi-
tai at Osawatomie. When this is
brought about, as it probably will be
in the near future, Kansas will have
an equipment of this sort that will be
the equal of any possessed by any
state and far superior to most of
them.
It is such necessary activities as
these that help to make the states
expenses grow annually. But the
proper care of all classes of the states
whether they be Grim
tnals. Iunatics or paupers, is an es-
sentiaI demand of civilization. The
taxpayers who kick on footing the
bills for these endeavors are few and
far between.

1.-THE MAJOR BENEFTCENCE.,,

! That our municipal governments are
not yet competent or disposed to cor
rect the defects in their administra-
tive systems is undeniable, and, un-
aided, the best disposition Of their ex-
ecutive officers will not materially has
ten the scientific reorganization of their
corporate business writes r. Fulton
Cutting in the September number Of
the North American Review.
The nation is making a serious at
tempt to do this. At the request of
President Taft, DR.. F. A. Cleveland
one of the principal officials of the bu-
reau of municipal research-has b@en
yielded by it to Washington and is
heading the presidents expert staff in
pointing the way to the business re-
organization of federal administration
upon the lines pursued by the bureau
in city affairs.
The profession of municipal re-
searcher-investigat and accountant
with 4 constructive social point Of
VIEWS new, and the necessity Of a
training school for such men is ar-
parent. The spread of this policy is
long step in the path of the relation
of science and government in which
Germany has led the way. The extern
sion of the bureaus method is illimi-
table if the patriotism of our people
people proves equal to its support. It's
nonpolitical basis takes it out of the
domain of partiality or prejudice. The
expert quality of its working force and
it's policy of cooperation with authori-
ty insure to it an open door, But its
possibilities Of beneficence will never
commend themselves to the politician.
Scierce in public business does not yet
appeal to the imagination Of the cleo
torate. Campaigns demand a more
dramatic policy. Research and con-
structive methods must be supported
by individuals If not endowed by some
patriot who appreciates nisgovern-
ment's criminal injustice to the poor
and the waste of resources that might
be wisely expended to increase their
comfort, to improve their health and
to enlarge their opportunity. Honest
wealth has today. through this agency,
an opportunity for public service hith
erto virtually 6cnied it.

Lynchines An the North.

Northern states, and especially those
forming the southerIi tier of the terri
| tory which. since the civil war. has
continued to be called north, have not
been free from lynchings in the last
twenty years. New York state fur
nishes only one lynching in that
period This was at Port Jervis on
June 2, 1897, when a negro was hang
ed by a mob for an attack on a girl.
Iowa has had one lynching as recently
as January, 1907, when a wife murder
er, James Cullen, was taken from the
Jail at Charles City and hanged by a
mob.
Pennsylvania. where the latest
lynching has occurred. has one other
similar act by a mob. On March Is,
1894, at Stroudsburg, a negro by the
name of Richard Puryear was hanged
for the murder of a white man after
he had escaped from jail.
Delaware furnishes another in
stance. At Wilmington a mob burned
negro at the stake on June %, 1908.
for the murder of the 17-year-old
daughter of a minister.
Instances of mob violence in Illinois,
Indiana, and Ohio are numerous. On
August 19, 1897, a tramp was killed by
a crowd of farmers in Cook county,
Ill, for an attack on a woman while
attempting robbery. On April 26, 1903,
near Santa Fe, Ill, a mob hanged an
unidentified negro boy for an attack
against negro bridge workers near the
town, shooting several In Cairo two
negroes were Il lynched on the, night of
November II, 1903. One of them was
taken after IN attack on the Jail. In
the same town there was an attempt to
lynch a negro purse snatcher, but the
mob was driven back by the sheriff.
One man was killed and four were
wounded. Springfield, the capital of
Illinois. was the scene Of violent race
wars in 1906 and 1908. State troops
had to be called out both times to re-
store order.
A case of mob violence occurred in
Ohio at the town of Newark on July 8
of last year. Carl Etherington an
Antisaloon League detective, confined
to the Jail for shooting a saloonkeeper
in a raid, was taken from the Jail and
lynched. Other lynchings in the state
have occurred at Kenton, April 10,
1891, and at Millersburg on April 2,
1892. AT Urbana a battle was fought
with the jail authorities, in which two
citizens were killed and nine were
wounded when a mob took Charles
Mitchell, a negro, from the jail and
hanged him. At Springfield on March
Z, 1904, Eichard Dixon, a negro, was
taken from the jail and riddled with
bullets by a mob.
Indiana had q lynching of five men
in September, 1907. In Ripley county
mob took this vengeance on gang
that had robbed and murdered and for
negroes were hanged at Rockport in
December, 1900. An Evansville mob
killed a negro on July 6, 1903, after a
struggle with the state militia, in
which nine white men were killed
