ALL LAWS SHOULD
BE PUBLISHED

Many persons unwilngly, unEnow-
ingly, yet not wilfully, violate or
transgress the Laws through ignor-
ancc of knowing what the Laws are.
Not many people are able to own n
set Of the r s. Statutes Of Missouri;
not many are able to attend a School
of Law; but all have time to read,
land most people do rcadD the local
newspapers Of their counties.
Therefore, after weighing all the
attendant elements, the easiest and
cheapest way for the populacc of Il
locality to have knowledge of the
Laws, is through the medium of the
local press
The present meagcr and antiquated
method of publication GU is very
much analogous to the Ancient system
of publication (?), when the newly
enacted laws were published GU by
posting where they could scarcely be
read and demand obedience.
The people desire to obey the Laws,
but how shall they know when they
are obeying, unless they first know
the exactions and requirements there
of by reasonable publication?

war tax. This is nothing compared
to the tax TO pay seven hundred in
spectors, and for the mistakes they
have made in having slaughtered
thousands Of head Of pure-bred ami
mails. In the Republic of December
9Th. Secretary Houston declared there
was no reason for the slaughter of
these animals, he also urges the stock
men to be patient. Perhaps he is not
aware that thousands Of these ami
mails are mortgagcd, and that feed is
very high, and the banks are forcing
the sale of this stock.
Veterinarians and inspectors GER
tify that there has never been a sim
gle case of foot and mouth disease at
National Stock Yards, East st. Louis,
yet, men who are not able to hold
their stock, are compelled to ship it,
and almost give it to the packers.

STATE HOSPITAL,


bring about still greater improve
mcnts.
Hospital No. 4 is the only one in
the State where the cottage plan of
housing the patients obtains. At our
other asylums there are large dormi-
tories, great rambling structures, bar
racks-like, where the words "eleemos-
ynary institution" seem to stick out
in embossed lettering all over the out
side walls. At Pennington the visitor
looks vainly for such barracks He
finds instead system of streets, with
one main thoroughfare running
through half a mile of shade trees
that border the cement sidewalks.
Along this thoroughfare are about n
dozen cottages, otherwise large brick
buildings which suggest some Of the
homes of Lindell boulevard or in
Portland place. The cottages are not
highly ornate as to exterior. yet they
are of pleasing architectural pattern.
What" one is prone to exclaim,
as this an insane asylum"
True, it resembles a suburban resi-
dental section Of the best sort, with
plenty of space between the houses,
numerous trees, wide lawns and an
abundance of Gods sunshine and open
air. Nevertheless, this is an asylum
for the insane, and in each Of these
cottages you will find from 40 to so
men or women sailing upon an UNI
charted sea with anchor adrift, rud-
ter broken and lights out. This is
State Hospital No. 4, the principal
part thereof the section where the pa
tlents abide.
There are other buildings. A big
kitchen and dining hall combined,
where most Of the patients eat three
square meals a day, has also store
house for food supplies. This resem-
bIcs wcll-kcpt grocery store, and
there is an adjoining refrigerator
room, where several tons of fresh
meat are kept on hand There is an
ice plant, supplying both electric light
and steam heat to all the premises.
There are deep artesian wells, from
which clear, pure water is pumped.
There are horse and COW barns, hog
and chicken houses, farmers cot
tagc. This hospital, be it known, is
something Of a farm and garden, and
promises to become more so.
There is connexions cottage
home for the superintendent and his
family. where ut times Il "trusty" pa /
ticnt helps out in the kitchen. Mrs.
the superintendent wife
pre- idcs over this pleasant home,
which is considerably removed from
he patients cottages Mrs. Scrutch-
field shares her husbands interests
in the welfare of the patients and is
lending her aid in making their coudI- |

The present system of writing laws
and not publishing them to the people
who are to obey them reminds US Of
the ancient ways Of publishing laws in
the days Of the Roman Empire, when
new laws were published by posting
them very high on posts or bill boards;
so high that the public could not see
to read them and then iuflict punish
mcnt for their infractiou.

E. Emmous, Jr, al 23Ol Maine etreet, for a visit, lie will be in Quincy for some umo Co visit his old grieuds, and then he will make a trip ou which he will visit Chicago, Cincinnati and Washington. While he has no definite plans for the future other than Chat ot enjoying we'll earned vacation, Gen- oral Distin will iu c0urseo time return to Alaska
 Alaska is the adopted home oe Gen eral Distiu, He wes iu business in Quincy aud his relatives reside here. The Gem City naturally will slways have a warm spot in his heart and when he makes the trip here, he is ai- ways glad 70 do so, because of the ties that draw him, After sixteen years Of service in Alaska, a country of wonder fuI resources which he assisted in de. veloping, that country will al@ays be his adopted home.
 General Distin believes in Alaska, He has seen it's great possibilities and knows its wonderful opportunities. In a chat with a representative last even- ing he said tbat every American citizen who can afford Go travel should make it his duty to visit Alaska. "See Alaska and the United States 6rst before sec ing other countries" is his advice. aThe principal reason why Alaska has not developed still more than it has, is because the great mass of American people know nothing of it. They imagine it great waste of snow and ice with no other possibilities than mining and fishing" If the American people would visit Alaska, many would return to that country to stay. The country needs people more than any thing else to carry out it's ologan, "De- velop Alaska"
