state On Road Refund.
Waseca, August 11.-Suit has been
started for the city Of Waseca by city
attorney J. N. Moonan, to recover
$40, SOTO due the city from the
state for refund on the paving OF
North Second street.
The Babcock amendment authorized
the state legislature to refund to
counties for permanent improvements
made to roads prior to the passage
Of the amendment. Under this
amendment the last legislature pass
ed q law refunding to cities for paw
ing done by cities. The attorney egn-
eral rendered an opinion recently
holding that the law providing fol
refunds to cities was invalid and un-
constitutional. Because Of the at
torney generals opinion the state
highway commission and the coun
ty board cannot make the refund te
the city. The suit just started is a
mandamus proceeding to compel the
refund: The work done by the city
has been approved and the highway
department will be glad to make the
refund If ruled constitutional. It is
expected that the matter will come
up in district court and then In the
state supreme court. Because of the
interest in this matter by several
other cities as well as the highway
department 1t Is hoped that the case
will be pushed to an early decision
probably in September.

Ia physician) is said to have been Gov
ernor HartnesS's first choice for the third
member of the state highway commits
sion. His next choice, and eventual Sc
lection, was Senator Bryant of Windsor
county( also a physician). We wonder
whether the reason why the governor
considers it necessary to have a medical
man on the board is because the entire
highway snarl has made everybody so
sick, or because he wants to be sure of
irst-aid in case he and Stoddard Bates
get to exchanging ink bottles.

POSTMASTER AND PATRONS.

Postmaster General Hays believes that
if pOstmasters throughout the country
will take a more active part in civic af-
fairs it will help TO better the postal sit
uation.
Mr.. Hays would have his postmasters
participate in the work of chambers of
commerce. boards of trade, commercial
clubs and the like, to encourage cOnstruc-
tive criticism and better the service.
Such intercourse should prove mutually
helpful to the postal officials and the cit
liens of any locality. The postmaster,
pie. can acquaint them with his aims
and his difficulties and the ways in which
the public can help him. His public in
turn can suggest the lines along which
the service is weak or unsatisfactory and
ways in which it could be made more eff
fective.
Even in the small town where the
postoffce is Il central part of civic life
there is often lack of real understand
ing between the postmaster and the pub
lie he serves. A postmaster is an i'm
portant citizen, rendering a great SER
vice, yet how often does he come out
from his Office and meet his fellow cit
liens on equal terms? How often is he
asked to address them on his business of
infinite scope and interest? The sugges-
ton is worthy of serious consideration by
postmaSters and public.

MUSIC FOR THE INSANE.

DIR. D. 3. Rotman, on the staff of a
Chicago insane asylum, has employed
NIoisaye Boguslawski, an eminent must
elan. to play to the inmates. The pur-
pose is not primarily amusement, but inn
provcment. Remarkable results are
claimed for it.
These experiments are the first of
their kind ever conducted in the United
States" says DR.. ROtman. There is 4
universal potency to music. 1t appeals
to the subtler elements of the mind. Pa
tients long considered dull are aroused
by this music to the expression of whole
some emotion
Mr.. Boguslawski has spent years
studying the healing influence of music
and is convinced that much can be ac-
complished by it. 1T is because the
minds of these poor people are tense and
frightened" he explains, that physicians
have so often been unable to effect cure.
Music will creep into the dark corners
Of the brain and allow the light to come
in. 1 don't claim to be able to cure in
sanity bul L CdI IGllcNc Ilutu ueHldl
distress, and that helps toward a cure
Probably a third of the 100000 insane
in the United States can be greatly i'm
proved by musical therapeutics.
Psychologists have long observed the
wholesome effect of music on diseased
minds. It seems strange that the appli-
cation has not been made long ago and
a practical method worked out Civiliza-
ton is in its infancy, as far as the treat
ment of mental disorders is concerned
II should be noted, however, that great
deal depends on the sort of music played.
Mr.. B0guslawski plays no jazz, no rag
time or other cheap tunes-nothing but
classical music, of quality suited to the
cases under treatment. He points out
that order and beauty are required to
drive the disorder and ugliness from sick
minds
In this respect those patients in the
asylum are to be envied. While they are
having their nerves soothed, their spirits
strengthened and their minds straight
ened out by real music, sane people out
side are being driven crazy by jazz bands
