amount subscribed to the fourth Lib

cially made public yesterday and
amounted to S362.550. This is S2T,-
$50 more than the quota OF s334.60O.
When the allotment was made
known here at the beginning of the

and cried 1T can never be raised"
but the Liberty Loan committee, of
which Postmaster Patrick j. Devlin
was the chairman, and his corps of
workers started in with a will to
achieve the almost impossible, and
over-subscribea the loan. Meetings
and parades were planned and then
along came the influenza epidemic
and these plans had to be cancelled
and new ones mapped out.
The team captains seeing hat the
burden of raising the loan would fall
on their shoulder, began their work
with a will n although several times
throughout the campaign the out
como looked very dark, the amount
was finally over-subscribed.

Again the State Industrial School at
Mariana is in the lime-light, with
conditions existing there that would
be considered disgraceful in a hove,
for Hottentots. No sanitary regula
tons, the whole place overrun with
feas, lice and filth, the inmates dying
for lack Of medicine and nourish-
ment, cruel and inhuman treatment,
rotten and revolving food. For Gods
sake, let US abolish the State Indus
trial School, and admit that the
State Of Florida is incompetent and
unable to conduct such an institution
along the lines Of common humanity
Better to let a few boys grow up In
unconfined vice on their own respon-
sibility than to make the State re-
sponsible for their physical and NOR
al murderfor the treatment given
the unfortunate wards of the State is
nothing less. Time and again this
institution has shamed the people Of
Florida. It is not yet forgotten that
not very long ago a number of its
inmates were burned to death through
criminal carelessness. How many
rot in the earth through neglect and
cruelty on the part of paid represen-
tatives of the great State of Florida
will never be known. We repeat, for
Gods sake, turn these boys loose and
give them a chance! When they en-
ter that institution, upon whose
gloomy gates is inscribed, "Let hin,
who enters here leave hope behind"
his last chance is taken from him.
and this by the incompetence and in
humanity of the great State OF Flor
ida. But the punishment for murder
in the first degree is none too heavy
for those who are responsible for the
conditions that exist in this institu-
tion--in an enlightened State, and In
the midst of plenty and abundance!
