These events have proven very popular and will be continued so long as the interest is as manifest as it has been the past few months. We have received considerable information that the death of Laudy Jackson, at East Haven, because of the criminal negligence of an attendant is only one case of numerous s'niilar ones occurring there. There seems to be no doubt of the necessity, for an investigation" of affairs there. , The cold snap surely didn't do the crops any good and we doubt not that in many cases the loss will be severe, but its no use to bewail it. The* season is ahead of us and we have to make the best of it. And there i- still an excellent chance? tor a Itounteous harvest if we all work hard enough. There is a lot of difference between an old-fa. bioned fair where gambling and bum shows are the headliners and the modern agricultural exhibition I nag< r WiJJijiij.-ou proposes to put on here u September. Wc wish yon would investigate the Great Elk halt County fair for the past two or three years. That was in charge of the ame man who has served as secretary and still holds the job. The fair here will be practically the same as the oue held there and you can therefore get a good line on just what it will be. We have looked it up ami that's why we are strong for him and the 1925 fair. We know he is going Io put over a good oue. Better get bell nd it. 1 he T. F. A.

The death of an inmate at the * Eastern Hospital for the Insane, due i io gross violation of the institutions rules, is likely to create a spirit of ‘ uneasiness. The verdict of S. Edgar Bond, coroner of Wayne county, a ■ man who is familiar with institu- | tional life and problems, is temper- i ate in its tone. It shows that the inmate who died was detached from ’ the line of patients on their way to i bed and ordered to take a bath. , Claude Williams, an attendant, in ■ charge of him, turned h ut over to another insane patient. The man was placed in a bath tub and water ' turned on so hot that the victim . died of burns. Williams was hired • at the insane hospital as an experienced attendant, but there is no ■ record to show where he gained his •xperience or how. After the death if the inmate he was discharged. ( and disappeared. Evidently his dis- I charge was based on his violation '• I of the rules, but if such violation ' caused the death of an inmate, surely the authorities of the hospital should have held Williams until the coroner's verdict was returned. The public will feel that while the superintendent can not be held personally responsible for something that one of the attendants did, he should have exercised more difigence in seeing that the authorities had a chance to apprehend one who was later held responsible, and who certainly ought lo be punished if the conclusions reached by the corouer are correct. —lndianapolis News. o
