INSANE ASYLUM
WANTED AT BRUSH

After a few months of answering
the thousand and one questions which
are continually being fired at post
master Red Saunders will need an in
sane asylum at Brush.
A bill has been introduced into the
state legislature which provides for
the establishment of an insane asylum
In Morgan county, and the people Of
Brush are back of the movement. The
arguments they advance in favor of
the proposition are:
That Brush business men will do
nate forty-acre site to the state of
Colorado, the same being we'll irri-
gated land with fully paid water rights
under the Upper Platte & Beaver
canal.
That the Brush site is centrally To-
Gated in an agricultural area, where
butter and eggs and other farm pro-
ducts are accessible in almost un-
limited quantities, thus saving trans
portation expense in procuring the
same.
That the town of Brush will give
water connections with city mains,
light connections with city plant, and
storm and sanitary sewer connec,
tions.
That Morgan. Logan. Sedgwick.
Phillips. Yuma, Adams and Arapahoe
counties paid over one-fifth of the total
state tax, and all Of the counties are
without state institutions or any kind.
That northeastern Colorado, con-
sisting of the above named counties
is entitled to state institution. and
that Brush is the most logical place
for its location.
1t must be confessed that Brush's
arguments are good. II such an insti-
tuition is found to be necessary.-Yuma

acter about 1t to son which cannot

year.old lad was locked up In the
town jail for u minor onfense. 1t
was probably the first time he had
been Thus violently torn from home
and mother-at any rate, when next
morning rolled around he missed the
delectable breakfast which he had
been accustomed to enjoy under the
parental roof.
When in the wash room ne managed
to secure two iron pars, which he
concealed until the jailer had gone.
Then he smashed the lock OF his cell
and nied himself away for home.
After he had safely put away the
breakfast which mother prepared f,s'
him, he quietly returned to the ;:Il
and gave himself up.
OF course the lad rcaee a!1.self q

Democracy, but it is well known that he ap- proves the methods whereby the reigning Democratic oligarchy in the South has dis franchised more than half the white voters of the eleven old slave states. The system contributes to the strength of partisan Democ- racy, and however glaring the injustice of the schemes of disfranchsement and election thimbe rigging prevalent in Dixie, MT. Bryan may be depended on to be strong for them so long as they rob Republicans only of rights that are supposed to be guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the United States.
 A quarter of century ago the Democrats of Kentucky, after a partisan state returning, board, set up under what was known as the Goebel election law, had declined to perpetrate the outrage of overthrowing clear majority decision in favor of Republican candidate for Governor, used majority in the Legis- lature to attempt the theft of the governorshp. The only Democrat of national reputation who had the stomach for partisan skulduggery that would enable him to go into Kentucky and speak up for this fraud was Colonel Bryan. It was enough for the Colonel to know that the people who were being robbed of their rights were Republicans.
 Of course Colonel Bryan believes in the Southern system of disfranchisement of both whites and blacks who do not have the habit of voting the straight Democratic ticket. There is not a state in the Union under the permanent control of Colonel Bryan's party where the party of opposition is given square deal in elections by representation on regis traton and election boards, and there IS not a Republican state in the Union where the rights of citizenship are denied to people merely because they do not vote the ticket of the party in power. This is one of the most characteristic distinctions between the two leading political parties of the United States.

A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT

It is with suprise and no little regret that the public learns of the disaffection In the mind of Col Mears, of the Alaska Engineering Commission, in the matter of the appointment of Col. Steese as his successor in the admln- istration of the Government Railway, as con fessed by Col Mears before the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. That in the removal of Col Mears to another field of usefulness, from a post which he has filled with recog- nized credit and distinction, he has been made the object of any injustice had not been suspected and but for his own admlsslon of rmbraee over the affair no shadow of crlt1- cism would have clouded the occasion or his transfer. That Col. Mears should have oiven expression to such sentiments IS un- fortunate with respect to both his record and his personality To each it has contributed something which neither his friends nor the public could wish to have had affixed. What ever his personal feelings in the matter may be. a proper gallantry would have dictated on his nart dignified silence. In injecting mic the situation an element as unnecessary as It is rcorcttah1e Col Mears has revealed a quality which cannot fail to react mhapply mon tho high estimate in which he has been held. Under the circumstances h1s reflec- tions upon Col. Steese will be received with the reservations they deserve.

But that there IS any disposition to order regulations in favor of one class of operators against another, or to maintain regulations which have been found to be unfair, IS pertinently contradicted by the action In the case of tho small packer whose testimony was published yesterday. If all parties concerned would discard personal prejudices and sus- picions and would cooperate to the end of promoting the best interests of the industry through the conservation of the supply, defi-
