The Asylum Sanitarfuan at
AigiedDeVilze, Under Fire.

IlkRE are some heavy charges in circu-
laton against Georgia's mammoth Asy-
lum
Rcserving judgment. I will briefly state
what these charges are:
o. That there are 5000 patients con-
fined there who ought to be at home
If one man, woman, or boy is improperly
Kept in the Asylum, the wrong should be
remedied.
(2.) That the Asylum is not overcrowded
as the Superintendent tells the Legislature
but that wings in one of the buildings have
remained unoccupied for years; and that
40 beds in each DormitOry have been con-
stantly out of use;
(3.) That the Catholic banker. Horne,
controls the finances of the States institution,
and dlscriminates in favor of Catholics
a. That Horne keeps in office his son-in-
law, Dr.. Little, whose wife is of course a
Catholic, If he himself is not;
(5.) That Horne retains in the States
service a Catholic Chief-cook, Sullivan; and
that the Head Attendant is also a Catholic;
Co., That the Catholic inmates receive
favored treatment and occupy the choice
wards;
o. That these Catholic inmates. sup
posed to be crazy, are in many cases active
Catholic pr0se yters;
(8) That among these active Catholic
missionaries supported by Horne out of the
States money, is DAN KELLEY, THE NEPHEW
OF BISHOP BEN KELLEY, 50 odiously notorious as
the defiant rio7ator Of the States zaw;
Co., That Catholic literature, especially
The Literary Digest is given right of way in
the Asylum, and used for proselyti Pro
testants to Catholicism.
The State spends 100000 now on this
Asylum, and the constant cry is, for More"
Without comment, and with dispassionate
brevity, state the charges, as they came to
me from responsible white men.
For the rr~stnt, I will wait to see whether
the NJ 4eagers ignore the charges, or declare
themselves ready and able to disprove them.
II may add, that it is also charged that the
Horne-LittleKei ring is branch of the
Pottle- Hardwick machine.
This charge, also, may be unfounded.

Did you know the Catholic church declares:
THE State has not the right to leave every
man free to PROCESS and embrace whatever re-
hgiOn he shall deem true.
It has not the right to enact that the ecclesi-
astical powers shall require the permission of
the civil power in order to the exercise of its
authority"

shall perish by the sword Don't you think
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and for
ever?" God says, Thou shalt not kill Has
Gods law changed? Let's hear from the jmgoes
and their allies. Maybe they have been advised
OF a change by the phrase, GOD is with u.s."
In the meantime, let all Christian and truly pat
rotc Americans voice their sentiments and stop
pussy-footing to the devil through the medium Of
jingoism. Wake up patriots! What do you say?
Let's count the cost" before hand. God wills.
The devil forbids. Decide. What we at?
Some may think the idea of such thing as the
United States going wrong and thence on to isola-
ton and destruction, as parts of Europe are now,
is rot, but pray that if this is your idea you
will reconsider and study things for yourself
the destiny Of your posterity to very great
tent indeed depends what you do before them,
and how much prepared they are to take up where
you leave off.
You can readily see that this humble being
doesn't profess to be peace at any price" adj
voCate. I don't see how there be peace in
this world at any price. Maybe the limoges have
a vision Of what peace at any price looks
like, provided they aren't too avaricious to con-
slider peace, is at present apparently the case.
Let all strive for the Everlasting Peace, and
serve God and humanity, and not the devil and
mammon. l cannot believe that our God has
decreed great country to serve the devils
interests instead of His own although it is true
God moves in mysterious way but is there
any idea gotten from the Bible to the effect that
this country should NEEDLE and take the agrees
sive against another country? Let's hear from
the limoges again. They to have abund-
ant supply Of information So DO some preachers
who try to cater to the wishes Of their congrega-
t1ons instead Of the Word of God, and advocate
war, but wouldn't fight themselves. Suppose they
all go to war! I hope they do, if war does come
If they can't find enough employment in Christi
anitys battles to demand their attention. If
adhere to Gods laws and Jesus teachings all will
be we'll on the Last Day. And don't want to
go to sleep the job!
1t was once considered rarity to be called a
fanatic because of a stand taken on some
questions like prohibition, war, Roman Catholi-
cism, and red light districts in large cities, but
now it is getting to be easy to digest as a
Sunday dessert. Let 'em rip! Fanatic is a
good word anyway
In conclusion I wish to express my sincerest
wishes and truest love for the people of my old
county is beginning to grow commercially, and I
trust spiritually and truly periodically as
before, and this is certainly inspiring to this hui
man. Let's unite for principles Of Right in spite
of the devil and all his office force
Sincerely,
GASKIN OXLEY.

up under any wet spell that We might have later on.
 The necessity of having good roads was recognized by the last legislature, and 1t made ample provision for them. The former sys tenn was changed slightly, in that board ot commissioners was appointed for each divi- sion and sufficient money was appropriated to do what work IS necessary both i'll main taining the trails already established and in opening up new ones. The exact provisions of the law enacted are not known, but they are reported to cover fully the needs of the entire territory.
 The delay in the local road commission CT beginning work is caused by the action .of Governor Strong in instructing him to withhold until the board of commissioners, Tor supervisors, for this division have been appointed. There IS also no information at hand as to what funds are available for this work We don't know that the governor is Intentionally delaying his appointments and instructions to Commissioner Ross, but he is certainly causing some inconvenience to the people of this division that Is absolutely un- necessary and which could be eliminated if he desired to do SO It should not be diff cult to find men both capable and willing to serve with Mr. Ross
 There is enough labor at present to take care of this work, but in few weeks this labor will probably be employed somewhere else. since as soon as the Engineering com mission Is informed as to what funds are available there IS sure to be much larger force put to work on the railroad construc- ton work, and it may prove impossible to secure enough men to do the work Now is the time that the work should be done, and 1t would not be amiss if the Commercial club or some other body took up the matter with the governor, with the view of hastening the authorization that is necessary before it can be done

THE SOCIALIST CONFERENCES.

The United States government WedneS- day took sufficient notice of the International Conference of Socialists which is to be held in short time at Stockholm to deny the So- clalists of America the right to enter into the deliberations of that conference. It IS the avowed intention of the conference to bring about peace between the warning na- tons, either as allies or separately.
 The American government, in taking the stand that 1t has, is only being consistent with the stand taken after the break in diplomatic relations with Germany. It was stated at that time that the United States would receive no communications from the German government until the submarine campaign was abandoned and reparation made in full for all her acts of "frightfulness.'
 The time for any American using his individual efforts toward a peace with Ger many has passed. Any such effort can only cause embarrassment to the United States, which must be avoided at all costs The American government can not at this time af ford to countenanCe any move that would look as If America were weakening.
 The Socialist conference at Stockholm is said to have originated in the minds of Ger man Socialist parties, and 1t is mainly through their efforts that it is being held. If they would have peace, the proper place for them to begin is at home With the German gov ernment reduced to fitting state of mind and the German people rid of their mii- taristic ideas, the German Socialists will then be in position to talk over basis for peace with their brethren throughout the world, but not before

NORWAi'S CASE.

The declaration coming from .ondon that 1t IS possible that the Norwegian gov ernment may break diplomatic relations with Germany within short time causes very lit tie surprise to those who have watched the recent activities of the German submarines. The report of strained relations between the two countries may be exaggerated but Nor way has sufficient grounds to declare war lon the German government If she so desires
 While reports of recent losses to allied shipping during the last two weeks indicate that fewer vessels flying the flags of the en- tente nations have been sunk than at any time since the commencement of the present campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare, at the same time more and more ships fly ing the flag of Norway have been sunk or captured and taken into German ports. All protests of Norway have been met with as suranccs of payment of damages by the Ger man government, but there has been no ces- sation of the war upon Norway's shipping, nor any chance given sailors of Norwegian ships to escapa
 Feeling in Norway has been running high against the German government on account of the heavy losses in both lives and vessels occasloned by the submarine campaign. Many newspapers have been agitating a cessation of diplomatic relations with the Germans for some time past, and such a course, accord ing to recent foreign dispatches, in undoubt edly becoming the view of large majority of the Norwegians.
 It IS possible that Norway might break with Germany or even go so far as to de clare war against her, without much danger to herself except from an occasional raid on some coast towns, and these raids possibly by smaller craft only. It would be practical y impossible for Germany to put any force of men in the country, and the navy of Great Britain is capable of keeping the main German fleet from making any big demonstrations. If the Norwegian government considers the safety of the country assured, it is prob able that, her protests being ineffective, rela tlons will be broken and defensive means adopted to keep the remainder of her shipping from being sent to the bottom of the sea 1 by Germany.

STILL. WAR MAD.

Germany and Austria are still war mad. At least that is the conclusion to be drawn from the latest reports brought back from the central powers by representative of The Associated Press who landed in New York Tuesday. All reports that either of these countries are figuring on concluding a peace with the entente allies and America at this time have practically no foundation.
 As was expected would be the case, the demoralization of Russia has given the Teutonic allies new lease of confidence, and they hope to be able to induce Russia to with draw from the struggle. While this ill it. self would not produce victory for Ger many, it is believed by her that it would be a great enough blow to the entente to enable the central powers to obtain favorable peace terms from the remainder of the powers.
 The resignation of the Hungarian cabi net has no more than a political significance Those who hail it as sign of an overture for peace by Austria seem to forget that prac tically every country engaged in the war has changed ministries from once to several times. France recently was forced to select an entirely new cabinet, and the English cabinet has been reorganized several times

NO COAL. SHORTAGE.

The statement of the federal trade com mission that there Is no shortage of coal sup plies at present, and that the reports of the coal barOns and brokers to the effect that there IS originates from desire to hold up the consumers and exact an exOrbltant price for this product should be thoroughly inves- ugated. Ii the statement IS proven true, those responsible for such a state of affairs should be punished in such a manner as to prevent a repetition of the otfense This pun lShment should be more than a mere fine, as monetary loss to them will be ultimately paid by the public in more high prices. A prison sentence of sufficient length to enable them to mediate over their action might prove ex- tremey beneficial.
 At the same time, the legislation urged by the commission would certainly not be amiss. Coal furnishes the basic energy for most of our enterprises The very life of the nation at this critical time depends largely on every wheel of industry being kept going at top speed. With high fuel prices it is prob able that numerous small independent plants will be forced to close down at least tenn porarlly or advance materially the prices of their products, which in turn is sure to work additional hardships on both the government and hundreds of thousands of people,
 The annual output of coal in the United States runs we'll above half a billion tons, and the reserve supply is enormous. It is scattered throughout the country in such a manner that it can be easily distributed to almost every section without serious delay or long hauls With the supply plentiful for all needs, there is no reason why there should be any scarcity, and it is the duty of the gov ernment to step in and render those in con trol of 1t powerless to cause suffering to anyone.

P H ON E 262
FOR OUR COAL

The announcement made recently that the government Is planning to use Alaska coal for the navy, and that i'll order to de liver this to the ships work will be rushed from Seward to Turnagain Arm with all pos ,iblc speed by the railroad commission, makes the protection of the terminal points at which such delivery will be made a necessity It would be a foolish policy that provided for the development of vast region of supplies intended for use by the navy and not make provision for its protection at the same time. To develop the coast fields and build car ricr for the product and leave them unpro- tcced would be to invite attack from our enemies.
 The extent of the need of America for Alaska fuel is commented on by the Juneau Dispatch as follows
 Half the thousand ships to be built for the merchant marine will be built on the Pa cfic coast and all of them will require coal immediately after construction. The United States government before the war was thought of required four hundred thousand tons of coal in the Pacific annually, and its requirements will be almost infinitely greater now with all its new vessels The officials have always been of the pellet that Alaska coal could be mined and shipped to the Pa cific coast states cheaper than good coal can be shipped from the east There is no steam ing coal in the west and Alaska coal is equal to the best in the east
 1.-The fact suggested by all this is that the Alaska coal mines must soon be opened on q large scale by the government, particu- larly now that the railroads of the country are taxed to the utmost to meet the calls made upon them. The government railroad will be entirely completed this year to the Matanuska coal fields, and VIC may expect to see Alaska coal shipped south by the hun dreds of thousands of tons"

TERRITORIAL, ROAD WORK.

The roads and trails that are under the supervision of the territory are badly in need of repair work in some sections of this dvi- sion. The creek roads leading into Fairbanks are especially bad in some places. It is of utmost importance both to the town and to those living out of town that this work be done, as these are our sole lines of traffic
 With the present splendid weather the road commissioner should be able to work wonders in short time and put the trails in fine shape for the remaining part of the sea son. They could be built up so as to stand
The Alaska citizen., 1917-05-28

Labor troubles have been encountered by practically every country since the beginnng of the war, with the exception of France. So the troubles in Austria and Germany, while serious to the governments of those countries, cannot be counted as indications of an carly peace.
 Unless Russian conditions show vast inn provement in the near future or the crops of the central countries fall off to an alarming extent, 1t IS the consensus of opinion that the war will at least run well into l0lS The kaiser IS not yet willing to read the hand writing on the wall.
