THE STATE INSTITUTIONS

Governor Ralston Wednesday gave to the public the reply of the trustees of the Central Hospital for the Insane and Dr. George F. Edenharter, superintendent of the institution, dealing with the charges made by James P. Goodrich, Republican candidate for governor, that the institution was being managed in a wasteful and extravagant manner. Mr. Goodrich in his recent speeches has seen fit to include the state charitable institutions in “his discussion of Democratic extravagance. Among others was the Central Hospital for the Insane. Mr. Goodrich in spreading his attack on state expenses to include the state institutions has violated a precedent long since established in Indiana. The state charitable institutions have For many years been regarded by the public as apart from other departments of the state government in the matter of political association. It has been expected of all governors on entering office that they shall make their appointments to the charity boards on the line of fitness and good citizenship, and without regard to political expediency. The standards set by long custom require that the heads of these institutions shall be men of professional fitness as well as of busines capacity, and their selection is supposed to be made without regard to political affiliations. It is of the highest importance that the state charitable institutions shall be 'maintained uu me high plane established by public opinion through many years in this state. Any political leader who seeks to gain advantage by dragging these institutions into public notoriety for political purposes should suffer the condemnation of public opinion.

Mr. Goodrich is a man of high intelligence and long familiarity with our state business, and, therefore, can not plead the excuse of lack of knowledge of the public viewpoint mentioned above with regard to the state’s charitable institutions. It is to be hoped that he may be prevailed upon to content himself with limiting his discussion to those departments of the state government whose efficiency is not based on professional standards and do not have to do with the dependent wards of the state. w A thorough examination of the reports furnished by Dr. Edenharter to the board of control of the Central Hospital for the Insane in compliance with the order of the Governor shows that no finer exhibit o f business analysis could be made. If the other charitable institutions of the state can make a correspondingly good showing the public need have no apprehension as to the conduct of its institutions having control of the state's dependents.—lndianapolis News.

In his recent speeches in this county, Hon. Philip Zoercher discussed the conduct of the state charitable institutions at some length, and explained to the satisfaction of all who heard him, why the rate of taxation for these institution? had been increased-- ami bear in mind that the only increases in taxation during Democratic administration has been for these charitable institutions. They have been removed from polites and are being conducted along more busi-ness-like and efficient lines, and the good results are so far above what was formerly accomplished that the people as a whole and the state board of control in particular, a non-partisan board, are pleased and elated with the change that has been brought about.

HUGHES IN GARY.

The long procession led down Broadway by the distinguished guest was as “dignified" arid solemn as a funeral cortege, and was no less enthusiastic. The only distinguishing feature was that the procession was being led by a tall negro wearing an old Prince Albert coat and an old fashioned silk hat. iHe was bedecked with a cane and a large red rose. He pulled away freely on a big cigar, which punctured a smile which almost reached Irom ear to ear. This character seemed to attract as much attention as the candidate who bowed to the silent spectators perched in windows and along the curb. The only disturbing noise to mar the solemnity of the occasion was the pounding of the gasoline engines of the automobiles and the band in the distance playing airs intended to instill joy and dispell the gloom so depressing

The speech in the park wa6 the characteristic time worn tariff speech punctured occasionally by applause from the Honorable Will Wood who tried valiently without effect to lead the crowd, which from appearance saw no point. * ■lt is a difficult matter to get red blooded men to be very enthusiastic

over a man though he be a preaidental. candidate when he himself did not regard his government of enough importance to exercise the right of franchise since 1910 or nearly six years. And on November 7, he will no doubt receive from many the same support that he gave others during the past six years. And thus ended one of the greatest Republican rallys of the campaign, about which the old guard newspapers wrote so enthusiastically. As the crowd dispersed a man wearing a committeeman’s badge said, “I am sorely disappointed in Hughes, and unless I change ray mind I will vote for Wilson,” another said, “I was afraid he was going to say something about the eight hour bill, that would not have taken here.” Between fears and disappointments the affair was considerable of a frost. How' convenient to have whiskers to protect one from the cold. —East Chicago Progressive Digest.

THE MAN AND THE HOUR.

Every community has its hour, and many of them have the man for the hour. But how is it with us? The hour is here—the hour for injecting new life into business, for the creation of a bigger and a greater community. Some may cast their eves around and ask “where,” or “how.” Your eyesight is dim, brother —- your intellect is sleeping. The hour is here-—has always been here—will always be here: It needs only the man with the vital spark of life to give it touch and go, a constructive brain to take the initiative and forge the links that bind us into a great and mighty chain. Some men can do this, while others can not. We want the men who can.

We have the land, we have the sites, we have the possibilities, and now we want the realitffes. But we must first have the man of the hour—the leader who will throw his great intellect into the scale and bear it down with the weight of energy, of determination and of power to create big things from small beginnings. We as a community are not lacking in brains, we are not devoid of an inherent desire for improvement, and we are not without the power or the will to force the issue if we but get the.start. Every great municipality had its humble origin, but it had its man of the hour, its MEN of the hour. Geographical or other may prevent our aspiring to the dignity of a great metropolitan city, but it is easily within the bounds of for us to double, and treble, and quadruple our present size, wealth and importance. We need to expand, and we want to expand. It requires but the opportunity, and opportunity even now waits upon the man. Who will he be? Who will THEY be?

SEN. JAMES P. CLARKE DEAD.

President Pro Tem of the United States Senate. Little Jlock, Ark., Oct. 2.—U. S. Senator James P. Clarke, president pro-tempore of the United States senate, died at his home here yesterday. He suffered a stroke of apoplexy Friday and never regained consciousness. Physicians and members of the family, however, minimized the seriousness of his condition so that the news of his death came .as a shock. Senator Clarke was born in Yazoo City, Miss., August 18, 1854. He was graduated from the law department of the university of Virginia in 1878 and began to practice law in Helena, Arkansas, in 1879. Entering politics, Mr. Clarke was advanced rapidly from legislator in 1886 to state senator in 1888, to the presidency of the state senate in 1891, and to attorney general in 1892. He was elected governor in 1894, declining renomination after one term to practice law in Little Rock. In 1903 he was elected United States senator and was re-elected in 1909 and in 1915. His present term as United States senator would not have expired until March 4, 1921. Senator Clarke was married in Helena, November 15, 1883, to Miss Sallie Moore. She and a son and two daughters survive. Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the residence here, followed by interment in a local cemetery. Senator Clarke had been president pro-tempore of the senate since the Democratic party gained control in 1913. He was chosen by Hie party caucus to succeed the late Senator Frye of Maine, after a spirited contest, and was re-elected to the place in the sixth-fourth congress. Subscribe for The Democrat.
