too late to give your lit

this thought has occurred

FARM FOR INEsRIArEs.

In the advocacy of a farm for in- ebriates which H. H. Spooner prom ises to take up at the next session of the legislature he will have a strong backing from all sections of the state, both from individuals and organiza- tions. The idea Is by no means new one, and has been before the legisla- ture before, but the demands upon state money have been so great that 1t has failed to get the recognition that it demands. With MT. Spooner able to present the state 200 acres of land suitable for such an institution, which he hopes to do, an excellent beginning will have been made. and 1t will be of sufficient importance to receive the attenton which 1t deserves.
 With intemperance contributing so greatly to the filling of the insane hos pitfalls, many patients are confined there who should properly be in an institution or at a farm for inebriates, thus giving the added opportunity for those who really need the attention of the hospitals to be admitted. With the crowded conditions of the present time this would afford much relief there. and at the same time throughout the state it would provide for many of the habitual eases which are con tinually coming before the police courts for jail sentences only to re- peat as soon as they get their liberty By providing an institution designed to help the drunkard reform, relief will be given to institutions which are not designated for that purpose. and at the same time be benefit to hu- nsanity.
