ANGEL or DEATH STALKS
THROUGH PANCUfTcfs

Panguitch. the county seat Of
Garfield county. for several
weeks. has been In the grip of
disease and death, according to
information received from resi-
dents of that place.
II appears that measles be-
came epidemic in Escalante. a
smaller town nearby and with
out medical supervision, and
children from that place visited
Panguitch and attended the
picture show while suffering
from the measles. The result
was that the disease spread in
the latter place to such an extent
that ii was necessary to close
the schools, and for more than a
month the city has been with
out school.
A number of persons were at
tackled by pneumonia while suf-
fering from the effects of the
measles. and the deaths that
have followed have been alarm
ing for such a limited COM
munity. There were four deaths
In one day last week and at one
time there were seven bodies
awaiting burial.
The sister cities will sympa-
thize with Panguitch. and hope
that soon the conditions now
present will be eliminated and
the community regain its normal
healthy condition. 1t serves
as an example of the necessity
for enforcing quarantine laws
against contagious diseases.

JUSTICE ADMINISTERED
IN THE PROPER MANNER

81
Wisconsin can. with good
reason. feel proud Of the record
she has established in trying
and disposing of John Scnrank.
who on October Ia attempted to
assassinate Colonel Roosevelt.
and on November %. exactly
six weeks later, was committed
to the insane asylum. Those
who have complained of the
laws delays, the endless tech
nicalities, the Earring expert
Witnesses" the motions for new
trials and the appeals on fiimsy
pretexts that have characterized
most criminal prosecutions of
late years. will read with relief
and new hope the record of the
simple. sane and thoroughly Dig
nihed procedure followed by the
trial Judge, The court appointed
a commission Of five well-known
alienists to examine the accused
and repart TO the court as to his
sanity. AS noted last week in
our news columns. the commits
sion, after careful investigation,
reported unanimously that
Schrank was suffering from in
sane decisions, that he was in
sane at the present. time and
that he was unable to conduct
his defense intelligently. As a
part Of the report, they submit
ted a statement prepared by
Schrank TO be read to the jury.
which statement alone contained
sufficient internal evidence of
Schrank's mental irrespor sibil-
ity. According to the news
paper, Schrank showed keen
Disappointment in not being al
lowed to pose as a martyr, to
the satisfaction of his paranoiac
delusitns and the inspiration Of
other insane cranks. The entire
procedure. says The Journal OF
the Americ4p Medical Associa-
ton, is in gratifying contrast tc
some Of ourSs.eelebrated muir
der trials and is AN unanswer-
able reply to the argument that
such spectaclss are necessary to
protect individual rights or are
unavoidable under our laws
Judge A. c. BacEus. the trial
Judge. deserves the appreciation
of all good citizens, and espec,
tally Of all practitioners OF medi-
cine and law, since it is on these
two professions that the seanda
and disgrace of the abuses Of
expert testimony have falleI
most heavily.
