An intellectual Stfmulant.

1t is fact not generally known that
in the insane asylums of Tennessee
and other parts of the country that
there are more insane men and women
from the country than from cities.
This fact is matter of surprise to those
who are first made acquainted with it,
but there are convincing psychological
reasons why country man or woman
is more liable to go insane than men
and women who live in the city.
Among these reasons is the loneliness
that has heretofore existed in country
life. 1t is the isolation of that kind of
existence The head of the family goes
out to work leaving his wife and possi-
bly, young children at home, where
the entire responsibility is upon the
wife, OF social diversion there is lit
tie. Mental operations become intro
pective. Men and women think about
themselves and their burdens and mis-
fortunes and defeated hopes and trou-
bles and surroundings. They find ii
difficult to live outside of themselves.
The result is that their restricted lives
and their lael; of social diversion break
down the mental faculties and the in.
sane asylums receive them in large
numbers. Physically, these men and
women are perfectly healthy, and un-
less we consider the environment of
their lives it is difficult TO tell why
they go crazy.

Washington, Jan. Hon. J. w.

the southern commercial congress that
he will deliver before its fourth annual
convention, in Nashville, in April, an
address comparing, by public school
statistics, the educational conditions i'm
Tennessee in the years 1860 and 1910.
He will also voice the aspirations and
intentions of the progressive elements
of Tennessee regarding the future edn-
cation in that state.

between conditions now and fifty years

TO REMAIN AWAY
FROM WASHINGTON
WHEN COMMITTEE MEETS
Will Attend Banquet at East St.
Louis and Will Talk to a Big
Gathering of Democrats.

Washington, d. g., Dec. 29.-The
fact that Gov. Harmon of Ohio has
elected to attend the January 9th ban
quet in East st. Louis, rather than TO
be present in Washington ON that
night, has created interest here.
Friends Of the governor regard this
as proper decision. They figure his
being here on that night would not get
him anything, while he might gain
much by being in Illinois with the
Roger Sullivan people and old line
democrats there. The announcement
by Sullivan that he will not ask an
other term as member of the National
Committee, coming just before the
Harmon invasion of Illinois, is regard.
ed as significant, and many believe it
may portend that Sullivan wants full
freedom to do his finest for Harmon
delegation from Illinois.
Further interest is manifested in the
fact that Gov. Harmon is to speak on
the tariff on the night of the Sth. Not
only will Illinois democrats be pres
ent, but East st. Louis is only across
the river from Missouri, and it is ex-
pected that democrats from the state
of Champ Clark and Folk will find 10
to hear the Ohio candidate.
There is additional concern among
some democrats at the Washington
end because Woodrow Wilson iS to
talk on the tariff at the Jackson Day
dinner here.
1t was supposed that Oscar Under
wood, chairman of ways and means
and house leader, would do the tariff
talking with Gov. Wilson, addressing
himself to stPregressive Democracy"

be compelled TO use the water which
the city of New York, in its wisdom, is
now securing and holding in storage
for that future city, the most beautiful
part of which will consist of the hills
and plateaus of the present Westches-
ter county.
Mr.. Stratton is alive to all the pOssi-
bilities of that distant day, and it may
not be distant after all. The building
of electrically propelled railway lines
will annibilate distance, and that which
has long been looked upon as an insur-
mountable.barrier will be regarded as
an ideal condition. To all intents and
purposes WeStchester county is today
the "greater lawn OF the metropolis,
Our highways are no longer country
lanes, but on the contrary, splendid
parkways, or boulevards, fenced, cared
for and protected. The old conditions
have passed away never to return.
Mr.. Stratton has surely been one of
the big factors in this transformation,
and he is now turning his attention to
land development which will carry in
its wake the building of homes and the
opening up of desirable real estate.
Notice his acquisition at Quaker Ridge,
just west of Mamaroneck. One can al
most picture his dream. Already he
has divided choice propery which is to
be penetrated by the New York, West
chester and Boston railroad, and what
he is doing in this quarter will be du-
plicated all along the route to point
as far TO the northeast as
the Connecticut state line, which this
road will cross, until at The last it will
nestle at the foothills OF the Berkshire
Hills, in the good cold Bay State"
This is the kind of constructive work |
Mr.. Stratton is now engaged in, and |
The hope is that he may not be hinder

buoyancy, which i'll health could so
easily shatter or impair.

Resume of Character of the Man
Who Has Done Mech to De-
velop New York Counties

Alvah P. French has the following
to say in the Westchester county, n. Y.
MAGAZINE in relation to Francis A
Stratton, who is one of the foremos
mea in the public eye in Westchestel
county, and is an ardent worker in its
interests, through his voluntary efforts
in connection with the Westchestel
county chamber of Commerce, and his
association with various organizations
interested in its welfare:
Almost from the day Francis f.
Stratton came to Westchester county
he became an important factor in this
great section. The moment he became
president of the Nestchester Lighting
Company, negotiating small subsidia-
ry corporations and consolidating them
under the general name and title of the
Westchester Lighting Company, he at
tracted the attention of bankers and
men of financial strength. Full of in
itiatiye and having the perspective of
local conditions such as invariably sub
merges the native and blinds him to
posi- bilities ''just around the corner,n
he was able to grasp the large opportu.
nifty for development which was lying
around loose, and to take advantage of
the almost virgin field.
Within few years, less than five, he
had consolidated all the minor gas
companies into one large enterprise, and
put the manufacture of light power
and fuel on a basis never before dreamed
of by those who had preceded him and
had been content to manage and guard
their properties without a thought of
systematic expansion Mr.. Stratton
changed all this, and the present light
ing scheme is very largely a creature
of his brain and initiative.
This was no small accomplishment.
The hardest thing to overcome is pre-
judice. The most difficult TO uproot
and cast out are those hoary methods
which have been handed down to us
by sour stage coach ancestry" think
i lg the same would answer for these
wireless and awaiting days when men
talk in blocks of millions and rush over
the thoroughfares propelled by an in.
visible power.
Mr.. Stratton having set his gas and
lighting houses in order, saw other op
portunities for his ingenuity and invest
ment. He entered other fields which
offered an outlet for his restless energy,
and today he is an important factor in
land development and railroad projects,
all of which are confined within this
territory. Associated with him are
many of the leading men of this county
and with large backing they propose
to carry out vast projects in every part
of this territory, which in the future
will become part of Greater New
York, either as separate borough or
other classification, but nevertheless
component part Of gigantic scheme of
municipal governments The fact is,
we are already part OF the metropolis,
whether we are willing TO admit it or
not. The time, too, is not far distant
