The question of insanity has been agttated for many years. It was be- ieved in olden times, that an insane person was a possessed of the devil.' No such thought is entertained now. We know that insanity is a disease, the cure of which scientists have as yet been unable to discover The greatest cause given for insanity is heredity.
 In order to protect society, in or der to safeguard the coming genera ton from crime, vice. poverty and degeneracy, insanity must be done away with. But how? Not by kill ficted with this disease For, SUD- | discover some cure for this na1ady. | Would it be justice to lave killed i these people, who could have been cured?
 | No, for all of us, no matter how | ''bad," have some outstanding good which if developed would better so- | ciety.
 By getting hold of all these insane people and Segregating them so thai their own kind will not be propagat ed, the menace to society is reduced It will be an expense to society tC keep these people segregated unti they die, but I am sure that the peo pie of the United States would no like to hear from other countries tha we have slaughter house for the in sane.
