hospitals for the insane are suffering
from conditions due directly or indi-
rectly to an abuse Of alcohol,
These conditions brought about the
creation Of state board Of ihebriety,
through the Grady bill Of 1910, and
have resulted in the establishment Of
a farm colony up the state where the
drunkard will be treated from scien-
tific medical standpoint, instead Of as
penal problem. This farm colony
ia Orange county, where drunkards
win be cured and turned into useful
citizens, will be ready to receive
those committed to II by November /
Of this year.
The inebriates' farm lies almost at
the base Of Sugar Loaf mountain, a
rather imposing eminence for that re-
gion. LOO feet in height To the
south are the Warwick mountains and
to the west the Belleyale and Sugar
Loaf hills, Greenwood lake is Just the
other side Of the Warwick mountains.
The scenery is picturesque in the ex-
treme Warwick, the nearest town,
has voted out three saloons, and is al
ready sdry'' in readiness for the in
ebriates' coming
A part Of the colony will be for wo-
men, though it is not yet settled
whether this will be on the same
farm or another one in the neighbor
hood. All the applications that have
been received thus far have come
from relatives. No inebriate has tax
en- the Initiative on his own account.
New York spends annually s1,5OO,-
| 900 for the arrest and care Of cases
Of intoxication each year, $4,000 to
try these cases in the magistrates
courts, about $25O.O0O for the custodial
care BY the department Of correction,
an average Of $1.S6 day by hospitals
in Manhattan and the Bronx, besides
the sums extended by the department
Of public charities in about 1000 cases.
1t all foots up about $2,5OO,OOO- 4
considerable share Of this is spent on
old FOUNDERS" who have gone to the
hospitals and institutions five or six
times a year, and who also take up
much Of the time Of the police and
courts. 1t is estimated that the re-
moval Of the "rounder" will cut down
the cases brought before the magis-
trates courts at least SO per cent,
There IS an absolute unanimity Of
opinion among alienists that men may
be saved to useful lives through such
farm colony as this, and that the
large sums no wexpended in charity
and civic expenses will be saved to
the city, as well as reducing the num-
Der Of insane and criminals in the
state. New York Press.

All Of the present representatives
are candidates for denomination and
several Of them will be named with
out opposition. Senator BENJAMIN X.
Tillman is opposed by N B. Dial OF
Laurens and VI. Jasper Talbert OF
.Parkville, Owing to the condition Of
his health Senator Tillman has taken
no active part in the campaign. New
ertheless, his friends believe that he
is certain to defeat his two oppon-
ents in the primaries.
The bitter fight for the governor
ship between Governor Cole L. Blease
and Judge Ira B. Jones is monopoIiz-
ing public attention to the exclusion
of all other contests to be settled by
THE primaries. There is but one is
sue: shall the administration Of Gov
ernor Blease be Sustained and cCntin-
Ilued or be condemned and ended. On
this issue the entire state is divided
Idnto hostile camps, while the bitter
charges hurled at Governor Blease
by his political enemies have at
tracted the attention Of the entire
country.
Governor Blease is regarded as a
result Of the old dispensary system
which was established in South Caro-
lima by Tillman, and which has
caused innumerable scandals in the
past few years AS member of the
legislature he was in close associa-
ktion with the commission which ran
the dispensary system and it is charg-
led that he shared the large rebates
which wholesale liquor houses were
lforced, 1t is alleged, to pay on all
purchases of liquors for the dispen

sums Of money alleged to have been

the name Of Blease, who was then
state senator, was mentioned. Several
criminal prosecutions were brought
against officials, but no one was con
victed.
Blease ran for governor two years
ago and won, although opposed by al
most every newspaper in the state

RIOT IN THE SYNAGOGUE.
Recalls Famous Incident of Christ and
the Money Changers.

Fargo. = Charges that two Jew
ish rabbis, A. Lash and S. Levine,
are enforcing the tenets of the Jewish
religion to create a meat trust which
nets them an enormous profit precipi-
tated a riot at the Jewish synagogue
on Front street A meeting was called
to discuss conditions in the church
especially with relation to the pur-
chase of meat
The old Mosaic law forbids an ortho-
dox Jew from eating meat not killed
by a rabbi At the meeting it was
charged that the two rabbis had taken
advantage of this law with the result
that all Jews were forced to purchase
what meat they used from Rabbi Lee
vines butcher shop at prohibitory
prices. The discussion resulted in the
appointment of committee of eight
to investigate conditions.
AT the announcement of this deci-
sion Rabbi Levine arose and said,
1--WE don't care whether there is a
committee appointed or not, we are
going to do as we please" This pre-
cipitated fight which lasted more
than two hours The combatants
fought their way to the street where a
crowd OF onlookers had collected. The
fight became general and many black
eyes and several broken noses re-
suited.

fees.

Chicago, Ill. - Preparations for
the final events IN the political bat
tie which will end Tuesday with tho
selection of the political party stan.
dard bearers in the state occupied tbs
attention of leaders of the several
campaigns.
For the first time In the history Of
the state the rank and file Of tho vot-
ers will have an opportunity to declare
their preference for a presidential
candidate Illinois will also be the
first great pivotal state in the present
campaign to have a preferential preSi-
Dental vote and this fact to great
extent overshadows the contests over
state officers, some of which have
been running for months.
The fight has been carried into the
1880 voting precincts in the state and
tons of literature have been dietribut-
ed in the effort to interest every voter.
Three names will appear on the Re-
publican ballot for presidential pref
erence, Taft, Roosevelt and La Fol
lette, Speaker Champ Clark and Gov.
Woodrow Wilson are the only Demo.
cratic aspirants to the presidency
whose names will be on the ballots.
On the state ticket for the Repub-
lican party, there are eight candi-
dates for the governorship, while four
Democrats are seeking the same Of
fee.
Under the new apportionment, ILL.,
nois is entitled to two congressman
at-large and nine candidates on both
the Democratic and Republican tick
cts are before the voters.
Four Republican candidates seek the
outrage of the Republican voters fer
the nomination on the advisory vote
for the Office of United States senator
from Illinois. Only one Democrat has
entered the lists for the nomination,
In IL of the rs congressional districts
of the state, only one Democratic can
didate is seeking nomination and In
five districts only one Republican has
been named.
One feature of the primary which
promises a warm fight is the selection
of the Democratic state central COM
mitteemen, the contest being between
candidates opposed to national Demo-
cratic Committeeman Roger c. Sulli-
van and those who favor him.
The minor state offices and the can.
didates for the general assembly, while
not lost sight of, are completely
thrown in the shade by the larger is
sues.
In many counties, notably Cook
county, the ballot has assumed enor-
nous proportions. In Cook county, in
addition to all the names on the state
ticket there are 81 Democratic NOM
inees for county commissioner and As
Republican candidates for the same
Office. There are also 40 candidates
for the nomination as sanitary dis
trict trustee and 40 candidates for
municipal court Judge.
In Chicago, the voters will also have
chance to vote on the question of
woman's suffrage and an unusual fea-
ture of primary day will be the pres
ence of women at the polls, urging the
voters to cast a ballot in favor of
woman's suffrage.

ct, with eight aldermen at large, and
a majority of the ward aldermen, is

votes were polled, out of total regis
tration of 10000, and as compared
with 10000 votes for the highest pre-
