THE KENYON LETTER.

Senator Kenyon has spoken. Rath

dence, and upon its general tons and
manner of expression the senator l.
deserving of congratulation
Senator Kenyon has taken the only
course self-respectfng man could
take. His letter fully confirms an ex-
elusive story published in he Capital
several weeks ago under Fort Dodge
date line. and which certain news
papers with more presumption than
ambition denounced as a fake" says
the Des Moines Capital.
Senator Kenyon was nominated at a
republican primary and is unable to
draw any other conclusion than that
he is in honor bound to stand by the
republican ticket. To the hollow
charge that the Taft nomination at
Chicago was tainted he makes reply
that 1t is the system which is to
blanca system which the present
leaders of tie third party made no
effort to reFudiate until after ii had
been found useless in the serving OF
their own personal ends.
Senator Kenyon expresses his CON
tempt for bosses 1t is not to be dis
puted that large number of his fell
low republicans share in that con-
tempt, but they are going to do their
own thinking as to where the stigma
of bossism should be placed
We have not the slightest idea that
the people are going to denounce Boss
Penrose for his alleged Standard OH
manipulations and glorify Boss Per.
kins of the Steel trust as an angel OF
sweetness and light.
Neither will intelligent and Clear
headed Americans follow up the han
ishing of Boss Barnes into outer
darkness by taking Boss Finn to the
public bosom.
Senator Kenyon is discovering tina,
there are other bosses than the iron
crowned noguls OF New York anf
land of Iowa he finds them somewha
in evidence. From the senate cham
I er at Washington he is able to be
bold formidable army of brandishet
clubs which the majestic fields o
Iowa corn cannot obscure. The bal
and chain of official obligation is be
ginning to drag somewhat heavil,
and he now and then dreams swee
dreams of the independence of pr
vate life.
The Kenyon letter win undoubtedl,
intensity the loyalty of his rea
friends, while the rule or ruin contin
gent will proceed to sharpen thei
knives.
The situation is by no means an IL
logical climax to regime of bossisn
z which has prevailed in Iowa for IN
ward of twenty years.

How to Treat the Insane.

What is the proper treatment of the
insane? Before answering this ques-
ton it would be we'll to consider what
has been considered proper treatment
of these unfortunates during the
years that are past.
The ancient Egyptians advocated
humane treatment for the insane and
the leading physicians of ancient
Greece urged kind treatment and suit
able occupations and recreation ana
amusements, and protested against
mechanical restraint. But during the
early part of the Christian era ana
even up into modern times, the teach
ings of these ancient writer's were un-
read or disregarded. Not longer than
seventy-five years ago the insane IN
Europe and America were frequently
found chained in filthy cells without
light or proper ventilation, in rags or
naked, and without sufficient food.
By many, the insane were supposed to
be possessed of the devil and for CEN
turtles they were almost entirely kept
in prisons with criminals. The Royal
Bethlehem hospital founded by certain
monks as a hospital, was in about
1915 converted into hospital for the
insane. This is one of the first in
sane hospitals of which We have any
record. Its name was contracted into
Bedlam and has furnished us the
phrase which bespeaks dire disorder.
"Bedlam let loose" The conditions

want thee in the deep of night,
But most. when sadder than all words
hear the voice of waking birds.
Then seem | most of all forlorn,
When l behold the day reborn;
There is no mercy in that ray,
On hopeless fancies comes the day.
Then Is the hollow world remade,
God, But that image will not fade:
That ghostly chorus from the leaves
Reminds and yet again bereaves.
The widowing beam upon me falls,
And to a gray remembrance calls;
Rebuilded is the dismal loss
And regretted is the cross.
For in that dimness we had speech,
Simple and prudent each to each;
Slow on my shoulder fell thy head,
/ held thee close as skies grew red.
Oh dear vert thou in silent dew;
Thrice dear in deepening of the blue;
But now see from this dark room
Only the glimmer of tomb.

So large field as the care of the
insane cannot be properly dealt with
In a short paper. You must under
stand that only the salient points can
be tous he'd in the limited time per
mitted.
Before attempting to deal with the
subject, we must ask ourselves who
are the insane and "how should they
be cared lor?' The insane are those
who have become afflicted with some
of the diseases which especially aft
| feet the mind to such an extent that
| they are no longer capable of conduct
Ing their own affairs. There are many
diseases of the mind From some al.
the patients recover, from others a
large proportion recover and from 9th
ers only a small per cent recover.
From still other diseases very few in
deed recover Mental disease is very
serious affliction and unfortunately it
is increasing.
There were in Iowa In the state,
county and private institutions on tbs
S0th day of June, 1910. 560T insane,
301s men and $3.50 women. The fact
that there are less women than men
insane is probably due to the fact that
they consume less beer, wine and
whiskey as about one-fifth of the
cases of insanity are due to drinking
liquor. OF the 5607 cases, 4143 were
in the four state hospitals, Mt. Plea
SAINT, independence, Clarinda and
Cherokee. Eight hundred and sixty
five were in the county homes ant
500 were in five private institutions. /
OF those in county and private insti- /,
tutions, GAG were men and SIS women.
On the 30th day of June, 1912, there
were in the state hospitals 1891 OF I
whom 2506 were men and 1885 wo-
men, a gain of 248 in two years. In
the latter part of 1911 there were $40
insane in the county homes, gain
of IS during IS months. From these
figures it is apparent that the county
homes are caring for about one-sixth
of the insane of the state. If they are
not capable of caring for them prop
erly, it is high time that the system

They should understand that while
discipline must be maintained, that

prevent injury to others or to the
patient. A suitable number OF attend

one to each twenty patients, night

are twenty or more. Each insane pa

that is not possible, to make his life
as happy and comfortable as possible
