The County and

It was Just about a year ago that the Palladium called attention to the deplorable custom of housing the insane in tbe county Jail. The particular occasion for this was the contract of the county for caring for its insane while seriously considering the expenditure of some thousands of. dollars for voting machines. A' year has passed and with the exception of occasional spurts of activity and feelings of conscience pangs, there haa been little done except discussion about it and about.

The county board of charities is actively demanding that there be an addition made to the Jail to care for the violently Insane. There have been suggestions of a ward at the County Poor Farm. An occasional legal advisor comes forward with an opinion that this or that Is wise or legal or illegal and foolish. It ia noticeable that nothing Is done. The only point that we are concerned with is simply to TAKE CARE OF THE INSANE PROPERLY. . We do not believe any one cares as to the precise method this is done BUT THE THING TO DO IS TO DO IT. A man Is a man. A county is a division of society. If we are to expect man to respect Society then you and all of us have to face this simple proposition of the insane. Good God! What is all this talk about? There is no question about the essential crime of keeping an Insane man in a steel cage without proper attention. There is no question about that Enough talk and enough time taken. Tbe thing Is to care for the insane properly. " .

The time was when the Insane were shackled in prisons and then the world awoke to the enormity of the act. Moderns shrink from that period. Wayne County still keeps Its Insane at the county jail without proper attention. Well today is Sunday let us all go to church and remember this Is a good and beautiful world and that mankind is practising the precept. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Today, let us repeat Is Sunday

Things He Didn't Understand. At tbe table on an incoming liner on recent trip one 06 the first cabin pas sengers found la an oyster one of tbe tiny aeed pearls which look almost exactly like bird shot. Apparently the formation of pearls was a mystery to him, for he examined the thing curiously, picked It up gingerly and laid It on the tablecloth for further investigation. Now, It Is a habit of oooks at sea to carry fishhooks In their pockets, and on this trip, by a curious coincidence, part of a small hook got caught In a piece of beefsteak that was served, to this particular passenger. As soon aa his knife encountered the hard object he started, picked It out carefully and laid It beside hie other find on tbe cloth. Then he beckoned to the waiter and confidently whispered in his ear. "I don't want to be Impertinent,' he said, "but would you mlad telling me where yon shoot, your oysters and why yon catch your steaka with a hook and liner A Heme 8ong.

"What klnd.eflKlocks are these?" asked the vlsltocVlnMh ornithological department at thVinaseum. "Labrador," said the attendant "We paid $1,000 for those two specimens." "Gosh," exclaimed the visitor, turning to his wife, "he says they paid $1,000 for 'em! I've bought finer ducks for half a dollar assay a time. What hare you got m.lVthat glass case for?" he Inquired, addressing the guide again. "Because they are about the most notable exhibit we have, Those birds were shot In 1S&0. Labrador ducks are now extinct' "He says." exclaimed tbe visitor, turning to his wife once more, "they put em In that glass case because they haven't a pleasant odor. And I don't wonder at It They were shot in 1S56." The Only Thing to Do. The old veteran had paused In his v. - awm.ca iuu waa uiupiiuia; uta brow, while his andlence waited impatiently, thinking he had left off. "I recollect" be continued dreamily, "that at tbe battle of Alma I had a very excltln' time. Bullets were peltIn' upon us like rain, men fell right and left cannon roared like thunder Itself, and. worst of all. the enemy had managed to get within a hundred yards of our position. I was mad with excitement and wasn't thinkln' of anything except just fJgbtln' for all I was worth. All of a sudden I turned and found that my regiment bad changed its position, and I was cut off -left to tbe mercy of the enemy, sir!" The veteran paused.

Would you mind telling me how you arrive at your conclusions?" "Oh. that's easy enough." was tbe reply. "There's an old cove in Adelaide called Todd who puts In tbe papers what he thinks tbe weather's goiu; to be, and 1 always put juat the op poslte to what h says, and that's tbe

TEA FOR THE GUARD. The Festivities War Conducted on 8triot Military Li nee. While looking for pirates along the Chinese coast Admiral John Moresby encountered some strange adventures and some that were ludicrous. One of bis experiences he describes In "Two Admirals." When visiting the mandarin of Tien Paeh, he with his blue button, robes and attendants, I with our paymaster, gunner and a guard of ten marines and a sergeant tea was offered to us and accepted as a matter of course. Then, in an access of politeness, the attendant proceeded with the tea to tbe guard, stiffly drawn up in tbe courtyard, tbe men with rifles shouldered. The sergeant looked round distractedly for guidance; he bad no precedent m Kxzf with xirxi SHOCIiDXRXP. ror a tea party on auty. xne men stared with cool contempt at the spoonful of add tea. Fearing lest a refusal might be an affront I hastily said, "Sergeant let the men take It" He looked at me for an Instant with a long, horrified look of remonstrance; then, stepping to tbe front as if drill lng, he gave the word: "Order arms! Ground arms! Take the cups! 1 Drink thetea!" Like Wordsworth's "forty feeding like one," they grasped'' tbe cups and with a single gesture emptied them down their throats. Next came the stately commands "Return the cups! Take up arms! I I " 1 mm Shoulder arms!" was oone. The sergeant was himself again; he felt he had been equal to the occasion, and X stifled my unseasonable laughter In a cough and a handkerchief. A Long Journey. Tears ago when there were only wooden sidewalks in the city of Win nlpeg, Canada, boles were bored in tbe planks to let tbe water run through. In tbe morning twilight a policeman found a man with the tip of his wood en leg in one of these boles and hur riedly walking around it. "What are ye doin' here?" asked tbe policeman. "Gway, offsher." said the man. "Got to get home before ol' lady wakes up. Everybody's. A Seasoned Colt Mrs. TJ. S. Grant was spending one summer in the New England hills, and she happened to be at hand when a native woman walked into tbe yard to deliver some eggs. "It's a long walk to town," tbe woman volunteered.

"Don't you own a horse?" asked Mrs. Grant Tbe woman sniveled. "We had a colt but It died last week." She suddenly began to weep. Mrs. Grant sympathetically remarked that tbe family zqust have been very fond of the colt whereupon the woman dried her eyes. "Fond of him? Well. I should say. It was like seeln one of the family took to see that colt go as be did. We all loved every Inch of him." Mrs. Grant inquired bow tbey came to Ioto tbe colt wo dearly. "Why.

JOE CAIIIIOII DENES' ROOSEVELT CREDIT Czar of House Says Ex-president Didn't Father Conservation Movement.

PINCH0T SAYS OTHERWISE FRIENDLY MEETING OF TWO MEN HIGH IN NATIONAL LIFE RESULTS IN LITTLE DEBATE ON SUBJECT OF POLITICS. Kansas City, Mo., July 16. Gifford Pinchot and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon engaged In an extemporaneous debate upon the subject of conservation before the Knife and Fork club last night. While each gave expres sion to tbe highest personal regard for the other and both agreed that conservation of the natural resources should be encouraged, they differed on the question who was the father of conservation. Mr. Cannon, who spoke first, said that the late J. W. Powell, at one time director of the government geological survey, deserved the honor, but Mr. Pinchot asserted that Theodore Roose velt was the father of conservation. Tbe little debate followed a most friendly meeting between the two men The two men were given a rousing reception as Mr. Pinchot offered his arm to the speaker and started toward the guests' table. "Uncle Joe" pushed Mr. Pinchot ahead, declining his arm. desiring to emphasize that he realized the ex-forester was the specially invit ed guest of the' evening. Mr. Cannon explained that he was on bis way to Wlnfield, Kas., to make his first Chautauqua appear ance. "I am not in the Chautauqua work regularly," he added, "and I am asking no fee for my present appearance." He said that conservation and re clamation were important subjects, but that they were not his specialty. "I never specialize except in the business of playing czar," he said. Columbus the Only Pioneer. Speaker Cannon said Columbus broke an egg and made it stand on end, and that any man could do the same thing after Columbus had shown him how. "And J. W. Powell was the father of conservation," shouted the speaker. It was Powell, he said, who appealed to him when he was chairman of the committee on appropriations to do something for conservation. "I sent Powell to Senators Hale and Allison, and the senate, as a result of his conference with those senators, started legislation to withdraw all pub lic lands that could be irrigated, as well as all reservoir sites. "The house was in favor of the leg islation, but the senate fought it, but in 1890 the civil sundry bill as passed contained a provision withdrawing all the water power sites and that was the pioneer work of conservation. "We lost In our fight with the sen ate in our efforts to withdraw from entry all public lands that could be irrigated, but we won on tbe other proposition." Is Against "Third Party." Turning to Mr. Pinchot, Mr. Cannon said, "I have the greatest personal re gard for you, but I understand that you are now engaged in conservation work for the organization of a new party. "I tell you, sir," he added, "that a party cannot stand on a single issue, although our party did stand on single issue once in that great con flict between servile and free labor." Th Heat of Auatralia. Australia Is tbe hottest country on record. I have ridden for miles astride the equator, but I have never found heat to compare with thlst Out In tbe country In the dry times there appears to be little more tban a sheet of brown paper between you and tbe low er regions, and tbe people facetiously say that tbey have to feed their benst on cracked Ice to keep tbem from laying boiled eggs.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE MAN BEHIND THE LAW. Governor Deaeeu of Illinois, togeth er with a party of friends, was arrested not long ago for a law violation. It is a fine story. Tbe party, occupying an automobile, was returning from a club reception near Peoria and was stopped by a po liceman named Hill. "You bavent tbe required number of lights on your car. and. besides, you have exceeded tbe speed limit." said tbe policeman. "See here." interrupted the chauffeur; "cut this out. Those are big people. When you know who they are you will not want to be so gay." "I don't csre who they are; tbey can't violate the law." answered Po liceman Hill. , "I am Governor Deneen." said the chief executive, standing up in the car. "What offense are we guilty of?" Tbe policeman almost fell off bis motorcycle when be saw tbe governor's familiar face, but he was game. "Can't help it. governor," be said. The law must be enforced." "I agree with you." replied the governor. "Are we going to be ,hauled In?" "Guess I'd better send you down to the station and see what the sergeant says." said Hill. Tbe automobile was driven to tbe station, where the parties were "booked" for failing to comply with tbe law requiring lights on tbe cars at night. Said I not it Is a fine story? It reads like those army Incidents in which the general's party approaches tbe picket line and is' refused admission by the stern sentinel, who has his orders to admit no one without the proper password. Policemau Hill enforced the law without distinction of persons. The governor was quick to see the policeman's point, aud be set a good example by prompt obedience to the law. ' Proper law enforcement must Include all infractions of tbe law, whether by high or low. It is a trite but true saying that what we need is not so much tbe passage of new laws as the strict and equitable enforcement of tbe old laws. As It is "tbe man behind the gun" who wins the victories of war, so the man behind the law wins the victories of peace. And as the man behind' tbe law must enforce tbe law. so the man in front of the law must obey the law. 1 SHE WAS NOT CRAZY. A Mrs. Mogg wanted to put tbe family dog into, tbe grave of her husband, which, to say the least,; was queer. ; Now Mrs. Mogg has 1 died and has left $50,000 to a hospital, wbereat tbe heirs have brought suit to break the will. They declare Mrs. Mogg was Insane and plead tbe dog incident as proof. But why Insane? It may be granted her funereal impulse was much out of date. butBurying dogs and other animals with tbe dead was all tbe rage in tbe early history of tbe race. For many centuries T.o. the poor Indian, kept the custom of bis ancestors by going to his happy bunting ground along with his favorite dog and gun. . Back east our Aryan ancestors were much more savage in their' burial eccentricities. Even up to recent times it was the custom in India to pile a man's living widows into a funeral pyre, put tbe dead body on top of the poor wives and set tire to the mass. In the Interior of Africa ihey do it differently. They dig a trench." put into it the body of the big chief nnd then kill a selected number of Ins wives and bury fhem with him: Poor human race! It ban been slow in getting away from savagery. , Looking backward, we fan see how far we have come by the way of progress. Note another incident: Not long ngo a Tift a- !Jt .-.. f-t T i'

500 years ago? The inhabitants would nave been on their knees expecting tbe end of tbe world. They would have acted like some of our ignorant who dreaded tbe coming of Hal ley's cornet. A few superstitious ones still regard the phenomena of the universe as miraculous, but , the grant mass of the people know better. We ha, ve been educated far away from our ancestors. But poor Mrs. Mosg ia simply what they call a "reversion to type." Desiring to do something for tbe dead she loved, the idea of her savage ancestors popped into her bead, and she thought to cheer the poor gbost of ber husband with tbe company of tbe faithful dog. There are a lot of people outside tbe asylums more nearly crazy tban Mrs. Mossr. THE TROTTING OUTLOOK. Fast Work Promised by Country's Leading Track Horses. The season of 1910 promises to be graced by some of the most stirring free-for-all trots and others in the ex treme fast classes that any enthusiast could desire. At least that is what a survey of the material for a series of such races would appear to give full warrant for. The following is a list of trotters eligible to such events that are now in active training or soon will be: Uhlan, .-OS. bL by Blngen. 2:05HJack Ley burn. 2:044. ch. .. by, Altai Leyburn. 2:244.

Tbey include tbe gray gelding locust jacn 2-ouv. reported as switched to the pace, at which gait be is to be raced in tbe future, but whose reappearance at the trot will be not unlikely. . Early Alice (20C is also named. Uhlan is the property of Mr. Billings. who never races his horses In regular professional races for money prizes, so that, tbe champion gelding may be described as bore coucours except In some special event in which he may be allowed to race. It Is also unlikely that General Watts may be seen in any races, ns it has been reported that ,the plan is to prepare him solely for an attempt to lower tbe world's stal lion record, tbe 2.-024 of Cresceus. But in any event there are a sliffi dent numler of eligibles to insure a series of races which should be in the highest degree notable and In which more tban one record will be in dan ger of being broken.

TRIED BY THE IIAVY (Continued From Page One.) who have become more or less pronreinent In the aviation field, will be asked to participate, - The war department is also endeav oring to arrange some experiments in this line but up to the present nothing of a definite nature has been outlined. : It is said, however, that General Allen. LL Lahm, Captain Chandler and ' Maj. Squiers, ' all aero experts have ' held several consultations during the past few weeks with a view of conducting some experiments with air-' 6hips in connection with army manoeuvers to be held either this fall or next spring. Get Reports From Abroad. Both these departments are now en gaged in collecting all the data to be had from experiments both in this , country and abroad. Several officials . of the line have been designated to , personally inspect the actual testa . when and where every they are conducted in this country and to make careful report to their respective sup eriors. The experiments abroad are also watched with eager interest by the officers here, who are especially interested. Reports are received of nearly every large aerial flight from the attaches of either the navy or war offices, who happen to be stationed abroad, in the vicinity where the ex periments are being conducted. "It is a case of Hobson's choice," is a phrase that is used by many people ; without knowing 'exactly: what It means. As a matter of fact, this adage has been handed down, to us from the seventeenth century and had its origin in the eccentricities of one Tobias, Hobson. This worthy was a carrier of Cambridge, who died in the year 1630. In addition to his ordinary business . he kept a stable and let out horses to the students at the university. Ho . made it an unalterable rule, however, that each animal should have an equal , period of work and rest, and would never let one out of its turn. Consequently, instead of being allowed to se- -lect the steed they most fancied, his customers had to take the one that stood next to the door. If it did not , meet with their approval, they had tof do without a ride. Hence the prover mat expression, nooson s cnoice, used to signify a choice without an alternate. Strand Magazine. Dr. Marion Parrls presided at the congress of women Interestetd in agriculture which was recently held at Bryn Mawr college. Women with practical experience spoke on their ex periments In general , farming, f u!t growing, landscape gardening, bee keeping, poultry raising, dairy farm ing, truck gardening and horticulture. The general opinion, seemed to be that women could ordinarily carry on successfully any of these branches with a profit of from 10 to 20 per cent. If this concerns yon, read carefully!
