WITHDRAWING HARDING.
Nevada REPRESENTATIVES,

NEVADA Representative.
The Fort Dodge Messenger, which
has been generally counted as the
leading republican paper in the Tenth
congressional district IL out for
Meredith for governor, and the Jeffer-
son Bee, whose editor, Paul stillman,
was formerly speaker Of the general
assembly and served there for several
terms with Harding, calls upon Hard
ing to withdraw. These two papers
reflect condition which undoubtedly
has many ramincations; but II the
suggestion for Harding's withdrawal is
anything more than the Bees way Of
saving that 1t does not like Harding
it will still have to be disregarded as
hopeless. Away back in 1876 the re-
publicans Of Indiana nominated for
governor an ex-congressman named
Godlove S. Orth, who proved to be too
much OF load for campaign in
those days in Indiana, and somehow
they managed to get rid Of him and
the state committee met and nomi-
mated Benjamin Harrison II his place.
Harrison was not elected; but his ac-
ceptance OF the nomination under such
circumstances and his canvass follow
ing had quite little to do with his
subsequent political promotion With
the exception, however. Of that one
case we do not think we ever heard OF

THE COLD STORAGE MONOPOLY.
----. GCliltnn Herald /

Prospects are that the price Of po-
tatoes will reach 81 bushel and that
the price of eggs will ascend to so
cents. according to local dealers. What
possible excuse can be offered for such
almost unheard Of prices, right on the
heels Of the producing season? One
explanation is given in hint that
cold storage buyers have monopolized
the egg supply. Here is an opportun-
ity for another democratic investigat-
ing body that might be Of some practi-

COUNTY HOSPITALS.

-
Woodbury. county will invest $50, 900
in county hospital for the insane.
There was a time when careful boards
OF supervisors made such investments,
because the county charges could be
kept in an institution of that kind, and
well kept, and still at a lower cost than
that made by the state institutions.
Such is probably not the case today.
At any rate, the saving would not be-
of moment. But the state institutions
are as a rule crowded and do rot care
to take care of the incurab les. These
are turned back TO the counties where
they belong and as 1t is not feasible to
keep the poor and the incurable insane
together. that is to make an asylum
out of the county home, these county
asylums are becoming more numerous
year by year. 1t has been noted tina,
some of the so-called incurables are
restored to health at these county in
situations. And there may be several
reasons for that For instance, the pa
tient must be affected unfavorably By
being associated with hundreds of 9TH
ers whose mind is affected. This Is
proven by the fact that nurses and
physicians often become affected with
all sorts Of nervous troubles when they
remain at their posts long time. At
the county institutions there may be
better opportunities for some Of the
unfortunate to get nearer to the soil,
and here some may recover or at least
make marked Improvement While sci
ence may not be able to explain just
how these things happen, 1t is gener-
ally believed to be the case that there
are curative qualities Of rare virtue in
the soil itself.
