There's Hope For Every s'Crazy" Man
or We1man.-.ThiS Man Proves

When an insane man enters
the shadows of an asylum and
the door OF his cell clangs shut.
Is all hope gone?
'.Nol" says Clifford w. Beers,
and proves 1t by. his own expert
ence.
Beers, a Yale graduate, was
crazy--absolntely stark, raving
crazy. There can be no question
about 1t. For nearly three years
he was an inmate of hospitals
for the insane. A large part OF
that time he seemed as hopeless
as any maniac who ever wore q
straight jacket in the padded
cell of violent" ward. For
many months his mind was so
shattered that his mere physical
life was despaired of.
Now Beers is a scientist of ma
tional repute, the author of adj
mitted masterpieces of narrative,
analysis and logic, a man whose
mental power and poise compel
respect-a healthy, sane, useful
member of society.
Beers came strikingly into
public notice at the recent con-
gress on school hygiene at Buff
falo, where he appeared as secre-
tary of the national committee
on mental hygiene--an organiza-
ton which he founded and Of
which he is the moving spirit.
A large part of the improved
treatment of insanity of late
years is the result of Beers eff
fort, and particularly of his book
probably the most remarkable
work on insanity ever written.
"A Mind That Found ITSELF" is
the autobiography of an insane
man. 1t was written after his
recovery, when every detail of his
appalling experience was fresh In
his mind. 1t related, for the first
time in history, the inner life of
a darkened soul, telling OF the
storms that swept through 1t and
of the Self that shook and failed,
but remained conscious through
all.
THAT is the lesson in this tre-
mendous story he tells with such
fidelity and power-the insane
person is NOT a brute; his hui
man SELF survives; he KNOWS
what is going on around him
he JUDGES those who deal with
him, and he is melted by kind
ness or enraged by injustice.
The judgment, to be sure, Is
warped. There were times when
Beers own melancholia made al
mankind seem his enemies and
when he had "delusions Of gran.

WOULD MAKE RUBBER
FROM THE SAGEBRUSA

Congressman Raker. of Califor-
mia. has asked for an appropriation
of $4,000 to investigate the FEAST
bility of extracting rubber from
sagebrush. That rubber does exist
in that brush or the sap of the
brush there is absolutely no ques-
ton. There is another variety of
brush with sharp thorns. that also
bears rubber, even to a greater
extent than the sagebrush.
A number of experiments have
been carried on in this section
with the plants or shrubs. In sew
eral instances enough of this crude
rubber has been obtained to send
to laboratories where it has been
pronounced rubber. The question
If quantity and the mode of ex-
traction has in a measure prevent
ed any commercial use of the plant.
The Indians over the state have
known of this rubber for years. In.
the early spring it has been the
custom to select roots of the plants
The roots is peeled and then chew
ed, resulting in many gobules of
rubber forming. which eventually
MAKES a wad of gum which lasts
for several weeks. 1t was throug
the efforts or custom of the In
dams that the attention of expert
mentors came about.
P B Ellis and AL Werner took out
patents on extraction of rubber
from sagebrush some years ago.
Another Carson man once interest
ed a French syndicate in the pro-
motion of the scheme, and many
satisfactory experiments resulted.
The plan fell down about the time
the money panic hit New York.
Others have talked and worked
over the extraction of the saps
of the sagebrush for rubber pur-
poses. There is no doubt as to the
rubber existing ard if Uncle Sam
should take up the question it
would eventually result in develop
ment. There is plenty of material
in Nevada to work on, it is a ques-
ton of someone getting busy with
the cash.-CarsoB Appeal.

BOUNDARIES Of ELK0'S
new LAND DISTRICT

Washington, August 5 United
States Senator Pittman is sending
out maps showing the boundaries
of the proposed new Elko land dis
trict and the Carson district and
in a circular letter says the rea-
sons for creating the land districts
are these:
First-The Carson City land dis
trict is so remote from many parts
of the State that the expense of at
tending the land office and provid-
ing witnesses in land matters is al
most productive.
Second-Twu land districts in
the State will facilitate the transac-
tions of the business Of the land
office.
Third-The land office will be
more familiar with the conditions
existing in each district and will be
letter prepared to give Information
and pass upon disputed questions.
The boundary lines between the
districts, while possibly not salts
factory to everyone in the State,
have been established where it is
believed they will be Of ADVANTAGE
to the majority of the people Of
the State. In determining the
convenience of the people of the
State, 1t is necessary to determine
the convenience of those having
business with the land office. This
will require the consideration rath.

THE DEMOCRATIC FEAST.

The Underwood tariff bill submit
ted to Congress on the first day of
the session Clast Monday bears the
stamp Of conscientious endeavor. to
carry out the principles of the now
dominant party. The pl visions of
the proposed tariff measure-main
features of which are printed else
where in this issue-are directed
with evident enthusiasm and candor
to the accomplishment Of a more
equitable distribution Of the bur-
dens that we must all bear in the
matter of contributing to the ex-
ours.
In spite of the fact that great
claims have been made to the effect
that Democratic "revision down.
ward will demoralize our country,
appearances eel to indicate that no
Such calamity is in store for the
American producer and manufactu-
rer. We have an abiding faith in TIE
dDllltH OF the American eODle to
stand their ground in the face Of COM
petition from the balance of the
world. Time will tell, and only time,
if a real downward revision OF tariff
is to make or mar this great country.
True, the country has ]prospered in
general under a high tariff policy, but
the prosperity is to a great extent re-
stricted to the more fortunate ones,
who have reaped the larger benefits
Of protection, while the average citi-
zen felt no benefit, or at best had to
cCrtcnt himself with the crumbs that
fell from the protection table.
We hope and believe that a great
banquet is being spread in the Dem
ocratic hall, where the masses may
partake Of their share OF the good
things direct from the table, no lon
ger being forced to assume the LaZa-
rus role.
We shall see.
