THE PUBLIC FORUM
A l.ramp,s EIoausnt Leeture.

a tramp asked for a free drink IN
a saloon. The request was granted.
and ,when in the act Of drinking the
proferod beverage. one OF the young
men present exclaimed: stop, make
Ms a speech. Il is poor liquor that
doesn't loosen a mans tongue
The tramp hastily swallowed the
drink. aud as the rich liquor coursed
through his blood he Strengthened
himself and stood before them with a
grace and dignity that all his rags and
dirt could not obscure.
eGentlemen." he said, = look to-
night at you and myself, and 1t seems
TO me ! look upon the picture Of my
lost manhood. This bloated face was
once as young and handsome as yours
This stumbling ngure once walked as
proudly as yours--a man IN the world
OF men. |, too, once had Il home, and
friends. and position had a wife, as
lovely as an artists dream, and /
dropped the priceless pearl OF her
honor aud respect in the wine.cup and,
Cleopatra.llke. saw It dissolve and
Quaffed Il down in the brimming
draugh had children, as sweet and
lovely as the flowers OF spring, and
saw them fade and die under the
blightlng curse Of drunken father,
had home where love liz the flame
upon the altar and ministered before
IL. and put out the holy fire, and dark
ness and desolation reigned IN It's
stead. | had aspirations and ambi'
tions that scared as high as the morn
ing star, and broke and bruised their
beautiful wings and at last strangled
them, that I might be tortured with
their cries no more. Today l am a
husband without wife, father with.
out child. tramp with no home to
call his own, a man In whom every
good impulse is dead. And all swallow
ed up in the maelstrom Of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his neryeless fingers
and shivered into thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again, and
when the little group about the bar
looked up the tramp was gone. But
he had left with his hearers food for
serious reflection.

Drop the FraternltIes.

The new Superintendent of Schools
Of Washington. DR.. William NJ. David
son. has commenced a probe into the
fraternal organizations of the District
of Columbia, and 1t is to be hoped that
his probe will reach down into the
heart of the affair and get results.
There was good deal of scandal
talked in connection with high school
fraternities last year. and, in fact all
of the social organizations OF the
schools came in for scoring. DR.. Da-
wilson says;
Il would say that the stricter gov
ernment of high school societies by
school officials will result in the bet
terment of the organizations. Secret
societies are capable of great good or
great bad, according to the boys who
are allowed to enter them. 1t will
probably be recommended that secret
societies be allowed to continue in
high schools under the advisory SUI
pervision OF teachers"

Telephone for St. Bernard Pass.

The telephone may not be a ro-
mantle addition to the Pass OF st.
Bernard. but 1t is useful one. The
Cantine de Proz is now connected by
wire with the Great st. Bernard Hos
pice. In winter. whenever solitary
wayfarer passes the cantine In the
direction of Italy, the news of his
passing is telephonsd to the hospice.
II he has not put in an appearance
there at the time when he might rea-
sonably be expected, one Of the monks,
accompanied by dog, goes out in
search Of him. Az result Of this
system of warning, It seldom happens
that any traveller dies in the snow
nowadays when attempting to cross
this inclement pass.

POLITICS AS SPUR TO STUDY
University of Missouri Turns Pupils
Campaign Enthusiasm TO Edu-
cational Advantage.

Columbia. Mo.--One OF the profess
sors at the University of Missouri has
turned the political enthusiasm of the
students to account in their training
Many of the instructors at the univer-
sity complain that the discussion of
politics is interfering with school
work. Professor +. NJ. Tisdsl OF the
public speaking classes has turned his
classes first into Republican eonven-
tion, then a Democratic convention,
and closed the series with Joint de-
bate between the Democrats and Re
publieans The result was the best
work in the classes in the rear.

The number OF institutions can
vassed was 272: the number OF In
sane persons in the institutions on
January /, 1910, was 1S7, 7,454; the num-
Der admitted during 1910 was 60,6o3;
and the number discharged in that
year was $3.50. At the last special
United etates census Of the insane
the population in insane asylums on
January /. 1904, numbered 150.151,
and the number of persons committed
to insant asylums during the year
was 1892. Therefore, in the six
years. from 1904 to 1910, there was
an increase of 37,S03, or 24.S per cent
in the number of patients confined in
insane asylums; and an increase Of
10,9S1, or 221 per cent, in the num-
Der annually of 37,3OS in the popula-
tion in insane asylums taking place
In six years is an annual increase Of
$500.
While the population of the United
States increased about II per cent In
the interval between 1904 and 1910.
the population in insane asylums In
creased about 25 per cent. The mum
Der OF insane in asylums per 100000
population increased from 1862 in
1904 to 203.S In 1910. The number OF
persons annually committed to hos
pitals for the insane per 100000 popu-
lation increased from 615 In 1904 to
$50 In 1910 II these ratios are ac-
cepted as representing insanity rates,
1t would appear that the number of
persons becoming insane. in com
munity comprising 100000 persons,
was greater by a. in 1910 than 1t was
in 1904
1t must be remembered, however,
that these figures include only the in.
sane who are committed to hospitals.
AS to the number of cases of insanity
not resulting in commitments to hos
pitals, the census has no data. 1t is
entirely possible that the increase in
the number of commitments per 100,.
600 population is not due to any con.
siderable degree to an increased
prevalence of insanity. but simply to
the extension of this method of caring
| for the insane.
The state which, in proportion to
its population. has the largest mum.
ber of insane reported in institutions
on January ], 1910, was Massachu-
setts, with BAG per 100000 popula-
ton New York, however, had almost
the same proportion. namely. S43.1
per 100000 population.
The state which ranks next to New
York and Massachusetts, in the nun.
Der of insane in hospitals In proper
ton to population is Connecticut
where the ratio Is 3211 per 100, 900
population.
In general, the number OF insane
in hospitals In proportion to the pop
ulation is much smaller In the west
than in the east. The ratios are also
smaller in the south than In she
north

Campbell Brothers Circus is Coming

Campbell Brothers Circus is Coming.
From Wayne (Neb.) Herald
Campbell Brothers circus, a very
ereditable aggregation, showed to good
crowds here Tuesday afternoon and
evening. 1t was unfortunate that the
circus had to be here on Memorial day,
but 1t so happened, and the managers
did everything possible to show due
consideration for the old soldiers. The
circus band led the Grand Army of the.
local agent, w. II. Hutchinson, yes.
terday received notification that the
Hustler had been discontinued. This
was the fastest train on the Frisco
and was through train from Kansas
City to points in Texas and made con-
nections at the border for points in
Mexico The other train removed was
the fast mail These with the return
trains makes the service short four
trains that have been running for the
past several months. No reason has
been assigned for the discontinuance.
Republic procession, and the circus
performance was put off an hour. Also
the old soldiers We're furnished com
plimentary tickets to the show These
marks of respect were appreciated,
Campbell Brothers circus is a Ne
Ibraska aggregation, having headquar-
ters at Fairbury, and pride in Nebras-
Ika institutions inspires satisfaction
over the achievements OF these men in
the circus line. This year they did not
winter IN Fairbury. but spent the cold
months In New Orleans. They will not
do so again, however, because the eli
innate and feed did not agree with their
animals, and consequently they came
out OF winter quarters in poor condi-
ton, One elephant and a few other
Ianimals died. The Campbells have

tion OF the country in which to spend
