MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin Cobb
AN TTNMTST SYMPTOM

AN UNMISTA.KABLE SYMPTOM
country church on the Forked Deer river in
West Tennessee. The pastor, aided by a COM
mittee, raised fund in the congregation for
the purchase of an up-to-date heating plant,
to supplant the old wood-burning stoves
which until that time had been used to heat
the church. The furnace was installed in the
cellar, with gratings in the floor through
which the hot air assembled.
On the second Sunday after the furnace
had begun to function, an elderly woman
member came to the evening service, bringing
with her a gangling eighteen-year-old son.
These two lived down in the bottoms, and as
neither of them knew of the innovation; but
now the youth was conyalescent and his
mother and he had driven to church.
Where they sat the boys feet rested upon
the gratings. The preacher had got well into
the swing Of his sermon when the youth be-
gan to Wriggle uneasily in the pew. He bent
his head and whispered in his parents ear:
NAV, we got to 60"
"Sh-h-h, set still, SON." she counseled
! "the preachin' amt half done yet"
Cant help it, maw" he answered, 1--WE
got to get out Of here and put off for home
quick ez we kin. The ager is a-comin' back
on me-
"Air you shore, SOM" she asked.
Il shore am, nav. 1 kin feel the fever
crawlin' up my laigs."

A REAL LESSON
By DR.. Frank Crane

The other day there was a fire in the In
sane Asylum on Wards Island, near New York
City.
1t was in large brick building. Some
lives were lost and there were many Incl
dents of horror.
Of course every one who heard of it was
deeply moved. The first impulse was to find
out who was to blame and to punish some
body. We still cling to the idea that the way
to cure anything that is wrong is to hurt
some one.
Others insisted that all such institutions
should be made fireproof The real wrong in
this matter hiatt needs to be righted, however
has not been touched upon as far as I have
seen.
That wrong is the custom of putting insane
people in some kind of prison barracks and
locking them up.
The disease of civilization is the house
Nine cases out of ten of insanity are aggra-
waited by confinement.
Of course some kind of a building where
dangerous patients may be restrained is neces-
Sary. But the cure for mental disease in most
cases will be much more rapid and sure if the
patient is given as much liberty as possible.
There are state asylums which have large
farms where the unfortunate inmates are CIV
en- great degree of personal freedom
have visited such place near Worcester
Mass. The results of this kind of treatment
are extremely satisfactory
The trouble with the institutional building
is that it is the cheapest and easiest way to
deal with the matter. But it is the worst
way.
This is not only true of insane asylums, but
Of prisons A hundred years from now our
gloomy structures filled with rows of cells
will be looked upon as relics of barbarism
quite as much as the prison ships which were
the floating bells of a former age
Criminals, especially youthful criminals,
should be got out into the open air
Confinement is device for the satisfaction
of those outside of it only. AS means of
curing those inside of it it is entirely bad
Many an insane person who is violent when
locked up is perfectly harmless when allowed
to roam about, even though under limited
supervision.
Freedom is the first desire of all souls and
there are few cases of either mental or physi-
cal impairment that are not made worse by
repression.

that he has quit politics for good

Mr.. Gamble has for 10 years been
connected with the city administra-

to Stewart, who last week went down
in defeat before the Seabrook forces.
When Mayor Tiedman went into
office, Mr.. Gamble came 10 Ameri-

latter Part of 1912 when he return

candidate Mayor George W. Tiede-
man, who succeeded Mayor Myers,
appointed Mr, Neyle Colqu.tt as
mayors secretary. Mr.. Co.quitt held
the office for the six years of the
Tiedeman administration, while Mr.
Gamble entered newspaperdom
again. Mr.. Gamble returned to
Savannah in time to join in the Da-
want campaign and on the election
of that candidate to the mayoralty
he was once more installed as may

for the next ten years, three years
under Mayor Pierpont and four years
under Mayor Stewart. His record
Of holding such a position for eight
cen years is perhaps not paralleled
in any other city.
IN leaving the city hall the re-

conditions have so changed that he
believes it impossible for such an
organization as the old Citizens club
to ever arise in Savannah again. and
long perpetuate its influence, or for
any political faction to so entrench
itself as to hold political control over
full decade, Despite hysteria, Mr.
Gamble maintains that politics in Sa-
