I am insane. then the law of New

sorry under their law to deport me

The statutes of the state of New
York require that insane persons from

quilted man am exactly in that elass)
shall be sent TO the state board OF de-

The New York law is so anxious to
get rid Of insane persons OF another
state that it provides that doctors and
nurses. If needed, be supplied to get
rid of them.
The United States courts have ad-
indicated me a resident OF Pennsylva-
MIA, and reaffirmed that fact within

Now. why does any New York offi-
cial squander any money to return
me?

WILL IT ACCOMPLISH ANYTH1NG9

oVERNoR VESTS raid on the
red light district of The Dalles
was rather spectacular, and
would make catchy moving
picture subject, but what good
will it do9 What will it accomplish,
if anything7 The social evil, as it is
termed, is one of the most perplexing
and vexing that cities have to deal
with. In small towns the matter can be
easily handled for every one knows
every place in the town, ana about ev-
erybody's business, but in a city, the
conditions are different, and the larg-
or the city, the more difficult the mat
ter becomes. With thousands Of room
ing houses, hotels and public places Of
that kind it becomes practically impos-
sible to either control or prevent prac'
tees not in accord with good morals
The question that confronts the au-
thorities in such cases is indeed q seri-
GUS, and as we have said, perplexing
one. There are but two things to do
with the evil. Prevent it absolutely,
or control it. The first, so far at least
has never been accomplished and per-
haps never will be, and the second
meets with strong opposition from a
large part Of the people, probably a
majority, and this system cannot, in
most cases at least, be applied. The
result is conditions and incidents such
az were found at The Dalles, where it
seems an effort at control and super
vision was being made. It is useless
to discuss the matter, for no matter
what position is taken, it meets with
n storm Of protest, Many object to
any system Of supervision or control,
claiming the community legitimatizes
vice, and becomes partner in crime
by doing so. In the meanwhile, while
making this objection they suggest no
remedy other than absolute prevention,
and this as has been stated, has not
been accomplished in any country un.
der the sun, so far back as history runs
though it has been attempted thou.

We do not believe in officers picking

or not, but il should be done without

the concrete is steadily worn out and
soon develops weak spots.
A paving contractor, a concrete man
was in this office yesterday, and took
the editor to task for his assertions
about concrete. He admitted South
Commercial and East State streets were
bad, but laid it to the "mix partly
and partly on the contractor. He in
sists that if the "mix" is all right,
the street will last hundred years. He
gave us, at our request, his figures on
what the material for square yard Of
paving could be laid down at the place
of the job for, and they were 81 cents
a square yard.
He was asked elbow can con.
tractor then lay a. concrete paving for
81 cents, if his material costs him
that7" He can't, was the quick reply,
not if the "mix" is all right. He
frankly admitted that good concrete
paving could not be laid by anyone for
81 cents, and endorsed our statement
that "who s lowest" was not the way
TO let paving contracts. He also stat
ed that he is willing to give bond for
maintennce for 10 years, on concrete
laid by him, intimating that he would
charge nothing extra for the bond fea-
ture, but that he could not lay it for
81 cents a yard, either with or without
the bond.
AS was stated in the first of these
articles, we do not pretend to be a con-
crete expert, but we do claim to have
average intelligence. We know if one
chews sugar or chalk or any other non
tenacious substance, that when it once
crumbles, it is gone, and we know from
experience, and observation both, that
when one chews gum, it will change its
shape, but it will be all together and
remain a piece of gum to the last, 1t
cannot be worn out. It is the same
way with street paving. The concrete
is bound to grind, admittedly slower if
the "mix" is just right, but certain to
wear away in time in spite of any mix.
Asphalt, or some other tenacious and
resilient substance alone can be per.
manent.

CONCRETE AND "THE MIX. -

MOTHER OBJECTION that is
made against concrete pavement,
one that was raised in Portland
~ and one that we have read of as
being raised in other places, is
that the disintegrNtod concrete washed
into tho sewers, "sets" and finally
clogs tho sewers, especially II they are
not well and Frequently flushed. As
to this we know nothing personally,
but We do not feel that this additional
bad trait is necessary to condemn con.
crete. Thoro is no use adding any
thing TO limburgor to increase its smell

pride to paving that has been laid for

they do not explain that it is not used.
