Next to dust, if not indeed preeed-
ing it in point of material damage
done to those who dwell in the big
cities, is smoke. Pittsburg has long
been called "The Smoky City," and
the people of Pittsburg, holding to that
old and now exploded idea that a
smoky city was a prosperous city, en-
dured the smoke with all its discom-
forts until they finally woke up to
the fact that the making of smoke
meant the waste and loss of millions
of dollars every year. Now Pittsburg
is spending $4,000 a year to solve its
smoke problem and to do away with
its smoke nuisance. The people of
Pittsburg have found out that the
smoke from the mills and factories,
laden with carbon, lamp black and sui
phurie acid ate into everything it
touched; the foliage of trees and
plants, ruined fabrics in the stores and
added $1,000 a year to the individual
cost of living. And so that city has
begun in earnest the study of its smoke
problem and is determined to wipe it
out and to save money, big money, all
along the line.

John Payton, a prominent Irishman,
formerly in business on the west side
in Chicago and who for the past two
years has been held in the asylum at
Chester, Illinois for insane criminals,
has been released on a writ of habeas
corpus issued by the Honorable Thomas
G. Windes, Judge of the Criminal
Court, on the application of his attor-
ney, W. G. Anderson. A little over
two years ago, John Payton, in fit of
anger and temporary insanity, shot his
wife five times, nearly resulting in her
death. On the trial his attorney
pleaded temporary insanity, and the
jury found that at the time of the
shooting he was insane and had not
fully recovered. Thereupon the Court
sentenced John Payton to the Chester
asylum for insane criminals where he
was ordered kept until fully restored
to his reason, and under the law the
medical superintendent of said asylum,
DR.. G. H. Anderson, was to be the sole
judge of his recovery. John Payton
had previously endeavored to get out
on a writ Of habeas corpus before
Judge FOell, but was unsuccessful. At
torney Anderson had the county jail
physician, DR.. Hogan; DR.. Reinhardt
the coroner's physician, and DR.. Mercer
examine Payton, all of whom testified
that in their opinion he was perfectly
sane. The physician Of said asylum,
DR.. Anderson, came up from Chester
and bitterly opposed the discharge Of
Payton, claiming Payton was a par
anOise of the same type as Harry Thaw
Of New York. The case was bitterly
fought by Wells Cook, Assistant At
torney General of Illinois, who ehal-
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1912-12-07

lenged the right of the Court to over
rule the Judgment of the superintendent
of the asylum. Attorney Anderson pro-
dueed a great many decisions sustain
ing the right of a judge on habeas cor
pus to inquire into the sanity or in
sanity of a prisoner Held in an asylum
where he had been committed on a trial
for a criminal charge and after an
exhaustive argument, Judge Windes
sustained Attorney Anderson. This
case involved a novel construction Of
the statute relating to the discharge
of a prisoner indicted on a criminal
charge and sent to the insane hospital
at Chester. Only recently Attorney
Anderson secured the release of Charles
Breitske from the same institution.
The hospital authorities and their ex-
pert doctors all testified that "Breitske
was incurably insane" but the Court
after hearing from both sides held with
Attorney Anderson. These are the only
two cases so far as known where pa
tients were discharged on writs of
habeas corpus after having been com
mitted to the insane asylum for Grim
inals at Chester, and much credit must
be given to Attorney Anderson who
succeeded after a hard fight on the
part Of the State to hold the prisoners.
The Broad Ak is watching the success
of Attorney Anderson, who has secured
the release of over a thousand Grim
inals, under charges from murder down
to being an insane person, and pos
sibly Attorney Anderson might be of
invaluable aid to Harry Thaw Of New
York, who has tried over a half dozen
times to get out of the same predies-
ment as Psyton and Breitske were in.

There are many other cities in the
United States confronted with the same
big economic problem. 1t costs the peo-
pie of Cleveland $1,000 a year each to
maintain the smoke nuisance in that
city. In Cincinnati, it is estimated
each family contributes $4,000 a year
to the support of the smoke evil; and
taking the country over it is estimated
by competent authorities that the need
less making of smoke costs the people
the tremendous sum of $500, 100000 a
year. These figures are only those COW
ering actual money loss in visible dam
age done in fuel energy wasted. They
do not include the money paid for sick
ness and disease due directly to bad
air caused by smoke pollution. The
lesson is plain; let rs quit making
smoke and let us, so far as we can,
keep dust out of the air we are COM
PEELED to breathe.

That steps should be taken to out
line the Negroes destiny before the Col
ored man gains the ascendancy, was g
suggestion made recently in a sermon
by Rev. John Taylor of Hamline Meth
odist Episcopal church, st. Paul, MINI
who expressed fear of the nations de
cay. Rev. Taylor pointed out that the
Negroes rapidly are growing stronger
in numbers, and demand Immediate
attention. He called the Negro and
immigrant the country's greatest
problems, and urged the public schools
as the solution.
"While we owe a great duty to the
immigrant, our duty to the Negro is
doubly great" Rev. Taylor said.
"Fifty years ago there were 100000
Negroes in America. Today there are
100000. A few years ago we were
discussing what we should do with the
Negro. If we do not adopt a different
attitude toward the Negro, in a few
years they will be discussing what
they viii do with us. We have got
to learn to live with them, and be
decent to them. They have souls to
save. They are a factor in our civ
ilization. It is our duty to do our ut
most to lift them up to a higher civ
ilization and higher ideals Of living.
ga new class Of immigrants is COM
ing to our shores. The old class nat
urslly was of our temperament, their
children were taken into our schools,
and they were quickly smalgamated
with the American people. But those
Of today are exclusive, living to them
selves, rather than mingling with other
people. Many come without expecta.
ton Of remaining, their only ambition
being to amass q few hundred dollars
and 60 back home to end their days in
luxury
''The Protestant church should be
ready to take hold Of these problems
We need to be up and at it, or vul

needed Is money to back up those will
