When We All Go Crazv.

The Census bureau publishes
statistic showing that the population
of 572 insane asylums in the eoun-
try has made an increase of gas
per cent in six years. That is the
growth in the number of patients
confined within the institutions In
1910 as compared with 1904. or
course many insane sare not
sent to any asylum. The num-
Der of patients annually COM
mitted shows a growth Of 22.1 per
cent. The heaviest increases are In
the east. the south and west having
fewer asylums and a smaller per-
eentage OF insane population. but on
the whole insanity seems to be
spreading in this country.
Possibly In this rather doleful
state Of affairs We may find slight
justification for the popularity OF the
plea OF non compos mentis in ex-
tenuauon OF criminal charges aud as
the basis OF defense OF those ac-
cused OF violent crime. Or, this con-

pressly prohibited from doing so By.
the very act OF It's own creation.

In their report to the legislature the

The Truth About AIaska.

Secretary Fisher flattened out a
good many of the inflated stories
about Alaska and ifs control by
vested interests upon his return from
the north after a thorough personal
investigation. Since then the coun-
try has heard little OF how the United
States had been robbed OF this
precious peninsula and some of those
who had been loudest in acclaiming
the theft sided right in with the sec
retary of the interior when he ex-
posed the facts. His official report,
therefore, paves the way to some
real needed legislation by which
Alaska may be developed
The Outlook, some months ago,
commissioned w. d. Hubert to study
and report, What is Really Going on
in Alaska" and the current number
contains the first serial OF Mr.. HUI
bert's story of what purports to be
The Truth About Alaska" In his
Introductory he declares:
Most OF Alaska still belongs 20 all of
Us collectively and not to certain indi-
viduals personally. might as we'll say
II now as at any time-not one acre Of
ooai land has as yet passed finally out of
the grip Of the general government
And yet men calling themselves
reformers aud experts have been
shouting from the housetops for
more than two years OF how Alaska
had been kidnapped and exploited by
certain individuals personally" and
especially of how all the valuable and
desirable coal lands and access
thereto had been gobblsd up by Ger
tain individuals personally"
The outlook's statement will have
considerable weight, for the fortu-
nate position the paper is in with
respect TO a discussion of this sub
tect and particularly to a statement
OF that kind. The difference in the
exposition Of Secretary Fisher and
the outlook's and those that have
gone before obviously is that the
former we're purely for personal and
political purposes, while these now
being made are for the purpose Of
getting at the truth.
