(BY RoBERTUS LOVE-

From the life and liberty Of the
Missouri Woman's Press Club meeting
on the Ozark hills in Southwest Mis-
souri, to the drab dreariness of n
State asylum for the insane in South
east Missouri--that was just one
weeks jump of The Republics "Seeing
Missouri" team.
The reader is not to take it for gran
ted that the Woman's Press Club
drove US crazy. To the contrary, il
gave us just the necessary ozone of
optimism to withstand the pessimistic
urge of the other experience. From
communion with bright minds, bur
gconing with idealstic dreams, to
observation of blasted mentalties,
helpless and hopeless in the main
that was the jump. We lit hard, too;
but after spending "a hours in State
Hospital No. 4, at Pennington, the
pressure eased up considerably, for
we made the discovery that even an
"insane asylum"-though just why
any asylum Should be called insane
never could unders and--is not neces-
sarily the horrible hell which the
average outsider assumes it to be.
For oil that, days sojourn within
Hospital No. 4 is not an unalloyed joy.
It is not conductive to happy thoughts
and pleasant dreams to mingle with
i500-odd Missourians, fellow-beings,
men and women, all Of whom are ir

ease, many of them hopelessly insane

mainder of their lives us pitiful wards

mechansms, derelict hulks of life,

LOCAL OPTION ELECTION

On last Monday night the City
Council passed a resolution by a vote
of 6 to 2 calling a special election for
the 18th of January, 1915, to deter
mine whether or not spirituous and
Intoxicating liquors shall be sold
within the corporate limits of the
City Of Pennington.
Every person interested in this
long-drawn-out and much argued and
litigated proposition, and who is
qualified to vote on the question,
should not fail to come ont on that
election day and signify by his vote
his mature, deliberate and conscicn-
tious final determination on this far
reaching and undecided proposition,
which has been before the people of
this city and county for quite a
while in one undetermined form or
another.
In this country and under our con
stitution, the essential motto, which
is at the foundation of all Republi-
can forms of Government, has been
and is yet "Salus Populi Suprema
Lex esto," which means the will of
the majority is law, and no man can
well afford to set up his judgment
against the judgment of many, as his
judgment is but very small part of
the whole; hence we who happen to
be in the minority, should willingly
acquiesce to the will of the majority
even though we are sincere and con
scientious in our individual judg-
ment, if the fundamentals and per-
petuity of our liberty is to be vouch-
safed to our posterity uninterrupted

ELOPEMENT PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE

The three-act comedy-drama, "The
Elopement Of Ellen" given by the
Carleton Dramatic Club under the di-
rection Of the director Of Expression,
Miss Clarice Burton, at the Monarch
Theatre Monday night, was a success
in every way. Greeted by large and
enthusiastic audience, the players were
spurred to their best efforts, and each
part was rendered with finish and
snap worthy of professionals.
The play was previously given in
the Carleton Chapel last Thursday
night, but the inclement weather kept
many away, and repetition at the
Monarch was decided upon. Ia N.
taking part in the play were,S ,SR es
Burton, Sackman and Clay, and
Messrs. Halle, Blomeyer, McCurdy and
Boiling.
The orchestra, also under direction
Of Miss Burton, furnished pleasing
music between the acts and added to
the enjoyment of the audience. 1t is
hoped that the Carleton Dramatic
Club will present several more plays
during the winter season. The good
work displayed by these young folks
certainly speaks well for Miss Bur-
toms training, as we'll as the natural
ability of each and all taking part

nicipal Christmas Tree in our City.
With the authority of the Board, the

The committee is of the opinion
that there are many persons in town
who are desirous Of giving 20 those
who might be in need of clothing or
food. Permission has been secured to

Cole & Nixon building. The Monday

things will be sent out to the persons

assistance Of the school teachers and
others, to get a complete list of all
children and other persons in town
who might be in need of shoes, cloth
ing or other necessities.

tions in town are requested to coop

staring vacantly, or gathering or grim
ming or raving wildly. Happily, how
ever, in this asylum the raving mani
acs are very few. Only here and there
does one encounter man or awoman
of that type of dementia.
Despite all the unpleasantness of the

tangible things upon which to build

of the writer to show, if such thing
be possible, the bright side of life in
an asylum for the insane. In order to
do this it is necessary to allude occa-
sionally to the other side.
DR.. G. E. Scrutchfeld, superintend-
ent of Hospital No. since August /.
1913, met us at the railroad station at
De Lassus with one of the asylum's
teams and personally conducted US To

miles from the Iron Mountain Rail
road but has an interurban line con-

on the De Lassus road, about mile

State Hospital fence are 39l acres of
land belonging to the institution, which
was opened II years ago and is the

HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS
AN ATHLETIC FIELD
NO Track or Baseball Team
This Year For High School if
Training Grounds Are Not
Secured.

It has been the hopes OF Physical
Director o. A. Hindelang Of the Mish-
awake high school 20 organize a base
ball and ack team this year but IL
is hardly feasible owing to the lack
OF proper training grounds. II was
hoped in the early part Of the winter
10 use the Lincoln park athletic Held
this spring for that purpose but 1t IS
hardly possible that this park will be
in condition before another year.
With the possibility of using this
park now hopeless there is little
chance Tor a track team. Hindelang
was highly Ciated over the prospects
for n good team this year and says
that IL one could be organized and
properly trained Mishawaka's chances
for track hOnOrs would be bright. lie
further stated that there is good base
pail material among n young ath-
letes Of the school here and a team
should be organized
If a track team is organized this
year IL will be the cOn team Tor
the Mishawaka school. The first team
for the high school was organized
last season and went through the
season with big success. Stebbins
took a place in the Northern indiana
meet last spring at NOtre Dame.
Efforts will be made TO secure the
new North Side baseball park as a
training ground Tor the track men
and there is some possibility Of this
going through. Outside OF the North
Side ball park there is no other place
excepting some out Of the way side

gested by some fans as a possible

sidered. Steps Will hav 10 be token
