BOARD IS SATISFIED.
Say Asylum Investigation Has Proved
Charges Groundless.

1t Is not likely that there will be any
more public hearings in the investiga-
ton of the charges of cruelty to pa
uents at the Topeka state hospital
The board of control, which had been
making the investigation, does not be-
heve that the charges made have been
proven and it does not believe that any
additional evidence that will tend to
prove the charges win be brought in.
THE evidence We have taken has not
only failed to prove the charges made
of cruelty and mistreatment to the pa
tients at the hospital but the evidence
has disproved these statements, said
H. c. Bowman, chairman of the board,
today. I'VE have offered every oppor-
tunity to those who brought the
charges to bring in any additional evil
dence that they desired. We have ex-
amined many witnesses. These people
made certain statements to us of what
they said had happened. They gave US
the names OF certain people who could
tell US about them. We have examined
a good many of these people and the
charges have not been substantiated IL
any particular, in fact the charges
made have been absolutely denied
There has not been single charge
made as to the cruelty to patients that
has not been refuted but the very per
sons whom the accusers named have
denied any knowledge of these com
plants.
1.-THE board does not care anything
about the superintendent and if com
plants were filed and subStantiated the
board would not hesitate to act at
once. But We do not feel that these
charges have been SubStantlated. ms
does not mean that the investigation is
to be dropped. The board is constantly
investigating charges of cruelty anu
mistreatment On our visits to the To-
peka hospital aad other institutions we
inquire of patients an employees about
mistreatment, the food, cruelty and
other matters relating to the manage
ment of the institution. We are not
through with the investigation of the
Topeka hospital. We will continue TO
inquire into these very complaints ami
into many others that we have but We
do not feel that the time of the board
should be taken up with continuing the
hearings as has been done. If anyone
wishes to give us additional informd-
ton about any specific instances OF
cruelty or mistreatment the board Will
be glad to hear them and their evidence
will be taken and we will secure add
tionaI evidence"
All the evidence SO far taken, num-
bering several hundred pages of type
written questions and answers has been
transcribed and distracted. Every
charge made by the former employees
of the institution, whether they We're
discharged or had resigned was refuted
by present employees and by former IN
mates of the institution.

JOHN o. eRoAT,s TO LANDS END

The distance in English miles be-
tween John o Groat's, in the ex-
treme north. of England, to Lands
End, in the farthest south, is~about
$50 miles as the crow flies, though
by the ordinary lines of travel it is
something more than that. New
York state is but little more than
half the size of England, Scotland
and Wales combined. The figures are
as follows: New York state, 1870
miles; England and Wales, 59,310;
Scotland, 29,785. In wealth, how
ever, New York is pretty ne.rly
equal to the three of them put to-

The Buying Power of Sl.75.

A little money sometimes buys
good deal. For instance. take
the subscription price of the
Youths Companion for a year.
S1.75. If all the good reading in
the 81 weeely issues of the paper
were published in book form,
according to its kind, it would
make about thirty volumes of
fiction, science, essays by IA
nous writer's, household man
agement and economics, sports
and pastimes for boys, natural
history, anecdotes, humor, etc.
The serial stories alone would
fill several volumes. Among
these is Ralph Paine's great
story of the Boxer Rebellion in
China, THE Cross and the Drag
on" Another is by J. W.
Schultz, who was adopted by the
Blaclfeet when a boy. 1t is
called THE Quest for the Fish
Dog Skin. Another is a glori-
Gus girls story by c. A. Steph-
ems, called Julia Sylvester II
is the story of a Mercer girl
in the pioneer days of Oregon
and Washington-and that is
oaly part of the serials.
1t will cost you nothing to
send for t h e beautiful An.
nouncement of The Companion
for 1912, and we will send with
itsample copies of the paper.
Do not forget that the new
subscriber for 1912 receives Il
gift of The Companions Calen-
dar for 1912, autographed in
ten colors and gold, and all the
issues of the remaining weeks
of 1911 free from the time the
subscription is received.
Only Sl.75 now, but on Janu-
ary l, 1912, the price will be adj
vanced to $500.

whats the use?" is the antidote
for the malign effects of the "Cheer-
IN" idiot. 1t is the only remedy
when one is afflicted with d friend
(sie), when your liver is in revolt
and the only satisfaction you can get
out of life is in being irritable and
grouchy. There are moments in life
when deep, dark, purple gloom is the
only thing which fits tie situation.
If you get a sure tip that Mudlark,
hundred to one shot, is going to

human events and horse races she is

ar on her, you are entitled to a
great big gloomy crouch and all the
happiness and satisfaction that is
therein. The admonitions, asinine
and futile, and the clirrupings of the
"Cheer-up" idiot are q personal in
suit, to say nothing Of an infringe
ment Of constitutional rights. 0p-
timism in a case like thjs is simply
pouring oil on a good healthy fire.
