ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.
Editor Richmond Palladium:

Editor richmond fdlldulu1u.
Sir:-In Mr.. Gordon's first commu
nication he made the astonishing as
sertion that religious excitement pro-
duced more insanity than alcoholism.
I promised to reply to that assertion;
here are the facts:
In the report Of the New York State
Commission in Lunacy for the year
ending September, 1904, the following
were among the causes assigned for
insanity in the 57Ss cases admitted to
New York State hospitals during the
preceding year: Religious excite
ment, twenty; alcoholism, seven hun
dred and seven. (See Official Report
or Extract in New International Ency-
clOpedia, article Insanity" Vol. X,
PIP. 64S.)
In the New York State Lunacy Com
mission Report for 1907 occur the fol-
lowing words: LAS the prevention of
alcoholism has very definite rela-
tion to the prevention Of insanity, the
detailed study of the controllable con-
ditions which favor intemperance may
prove fruitful field to those who are
interested in the latter work
Let us come nearer home. In the
23rd Annual Report of the Eastern In
diana Hospital for the Insane, for the
year ending, Sept. 80, 1912, we find on
showing the nature Of the insanity Of
the patients. This indicates that q
patients were treated for alcoholism.

SURE WAY TO
END RHEUMATISM
Ease Stiff, Sore Joints and Muscles,
Makes Pains and eacksche
Promptly Vanish.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out Of shape with it's
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
rheumatism come from weak, in
active kidneys. that fail to filter from
the blood. the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and it is useless to rub
on limiments or take ordinary rene
dies to relieve the pain. This only
prolongs the misery, and can't pos
sibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism is
to remove the cause. The neV dis
covery. Croxone, does this because it
neutraliZes and dissolves all the pois-
onous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles. to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poison from
the blood and drive it on and out of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful med
icine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles and blad-
der disorders. You will find it differ
ent from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like it, 1t mat
tiers not how OLD you are, or how long
you have suffered, it is practically I'M
possible to take it into the human
syste mwithout results. You will find
relief from the first few doses, and
you will be surprised how quickly all
your misery and suffering will end.
An original package Of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any hrst-class
drug store All druggists are author
lied to sell it on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day for
a few days is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst case of back
ache or overcome urinary dbOrdorA

you, sir, that if you come back to this

geniality to receive the right hand Of

Mr. Gordon, Therefore, but the cause
he champions, is the question the
people are now fighting.
While the good citizenship Of
Richmond are freely giving their time

lift of Richmond, does Mr.. Gordon,
without money and without price,
come all the way from Sioux City,
Iowa to indulge in the same rot that
constitutes wet stock in trade?
"Frenzied, HysterieaI, Libelous, Con-

This is the hoar-frost logic the

Richmond into moist territory.

Any ten year old school boy can
show in actual figures how much mon

Webster defines conflscation to
be: Seized and appropriated by the
government to public use.
The Standard dictionary says: To
appropriate personal property as for
feited to public use or treasury.
Does the wetest wet" in Rich

about conflscation Of the property and

Johnny DeBaun was not brought out
by the gang. He did not enter the
race to create strife in the republican
party. He made clean, gentleman
ly campaign, and made a host of
friends whom he would not have met
had he not entered the race. This is
true of Mr.. Schulz, candidate for COM
missioner at Elk River. He is one
of the cleanest and most honorable
citizens in the county. He was de-
feated because the people believed
that Teakean should have representa-
tion on the republican ticket, and that
Elk River should not have four places
on the ticket. There are others. But
let us take the democratic ticket.
We believe that Attorney Hofsted is
not tied to the Blake machine, and
that whatever support he may have
received from this source was be-
cause the gang hate County Attorney
Holsclaw. Unfortunately Mr.. Hof-
sted was told, before coming to Oro-
fino, that the Blakes were alright,
and he came here with letter from
M. H Hare who has been interested
in Pierce, but who lives in Spokane.
That is why Mr.. Hofsted associated
for time with the Blakes. But he
didn' t stay long. We have not inter-
ferred in the contest between Mr..
Hofsted and Mr.. Holsclaw, but now
that the primary is over and some re-
Election might be cast on him because
he was defeated, we desire to make it
so plain that none can err.
We have said that the Blake ma
chine went down. But we are not
branding any defeated candidate. We
have stated few facts and leave the
public to draw conclusions.

FULL OF BOOZE

P. H. Blake, the gentleman who
aspires to the responsible position of
post master Of Orofino, was so intoxi-
Gated Tuesday night that he wouldn t
have known the difference between a
parcel post package and solar eclipse.
AT midnight he was staggering about
Orofino, carrying shot gun and box
of loaded shells, saying he was looking
for birds, and in this condition visited
the polling place where the judges
were counting ballots. Later he ap-
peared at the Fan cigar store which
was crowded with men interested in
the election returns, and pocked the
pool balls with the muzzle of the shot
gun. He seemed to be at peace with
the world, and not interested in the
election results. At l 80 the would
be post master was too full to negoti-
ate raise in the sidewalk, although
it required only a small step up, and
he was towed up the street by County
Treasurer Hoar. People going home
after midnight saw Pat, with his shot
gun, near the Catholic church, and the
sidewalk was too narrow to accommo-
date the statesman.
Only few days before this Mr..
Blake was on the street so drunk that
his friends towed him away to sober
up, but Pat didn't seem to care who
saw him, or what anybody thought
about it.
The question we would like to have
answered is: Where does Mr.. Blake
get his liquor? Orofino is on the
Nez Perce Indian reservation. It is
against the law to import liquor into
