EX-INMATE OF STATE ASYLUM FOR INSANE PRAISES INSTITUTION Writer Telia of Experience. Whila Beta Treated and Declares Of ficiala Are to Be Commended for Their Excellent Conduct of Hospital and for Care W hich Is Bestowed Upon All Patients. IN the Issue of The Oregonlan of De cember 1 last there appeared an article by Addison Bennett from the viewpoint of a visitor recording Im pressions cleaned during a one day's Inspection of the Oregon Stale Hospi tal for the Insane. Mr. Bennett has received the ap pended letter from a former Inmate, gtvin? his impression from the "In side." The letter, which follows. Is au thentic: "My Dear Mr. Bennett: Haying Tia Ited the State Hospital for the Insane. I presume you are sufficiently Inter ested In the institution to read, with out being overly bored, my Impres sions, being those of a former Inmate. The detail, however, may cause you to express the opinion that the 'former ebould be cut out and that I should be returned to the "Foolish House." to a ward where I could not again Inflict myself upon a confiding public even through the medium of the malls. Family Made aer. I had been on a prolonRed drunk. That's the word not debauch for I confined myself strictly to the task: of drinking whisky. During the weeks and months I would occasionally sober Tip sufficiently to realise what I was doing what damage to myself and what misery to my family, whom I dearly love, although my actions belle It. With that realisation and the aw f il mental punishment which comes as aide-de-camp to General Remorse. I would again 'butt up' against the bot tle for relief. In order to forget. Each time the resul's were worse than the preceding, until my condition was that of a near nervous and mental wreck. I was a nuisance. If not a menace F society; of no use to myself or my family, and in a brief moment of men tal decency made up my mind that If I continued much longer as 1 had been doins I'd have a whole swarm of 'bees In my belfry ss Georse Ade puts it. "I debated the subject with my wife. ho favored a private sanitarium, but I realized that In order to be absolute ly cured I must needs go to some In stitution where they bad legal author ity to detain me until such time as in tie opinion of the physicians I was a!n Tit." I did not wish to return home simply 'shaved and sober." await ing the rlrst temptation to asaln fall and wallow In the maelstrom of de Prd. "I communicated with those In charge of the Insane hospital In alera and found that they did not encourage the entry and care of alcoholic patients at the expense of the state unless their condition was such as to make their confinement a question for the good of society. "Complying wtth the legal require ments. I secured a commitment from the courfof the county In which I re side, my evident condition corrob orating my assertion that I needed the care and treatment. Aaylasa la Overtaxed. "I had met one or two of the offi cials socially or in business and pre sumed to natter myself upon having the honor of their acquaintance. If not their friendship. If I had expected any consideration at their hands not accorded the humblest citizen sent to the Institution. I would have been un deceived by their reply to my nrst let ter. Bemember. this "City of the Vn fortunate.' call It 'Bug House' or 'Silly House.' T'lppy Dump' or what not, has a population of upwards of 2000 per sons and that the facilities accorded by the state at this ttme are so in adequate to care for all the state's in sare that the Ingenuity and executive ability of the official Is heavily taxed. That they have been and will be until relief comes with the completion of the new hospital In the eastern part of the state, able to cope with the situation reflect great credit upon the state. "I waspt live weeks, and now that the experience Is over. I am glad I was accepted glad on my own ac count and thrice glad that I am In a condition mentally and physically to be of benefit to those who trust and love me. "After leaving home I took a "last drink. This 'last' drink was multi plied so many times that before I reached Salem 1 had accumulated a J.ig of such magnitude that I passed the distance flag and had nearly reached the finish wire from which hung that undeslred but Inevitable prise marked T. T." In monogram, the letters being cleverly lined by the twisting and braiding together of many repulsive snakes and punctuated with little blue monks with bulldog hearts. -Upon entering and being registered J was searched, being permitted to take nothing of value Into the receiv ing ward. I learned later that the superintendent had made a rule that no order a patient mlsht Issue on funds deposited In the office would be honored If made payable to an attend ant. It stands to reason that if any attendant were willing to permit a p fent to "slip him a plee of coin for extra favors, he wouldn't accept the promises of one who had been "sent up for being wrong In he nut." as they hear so many tales of Imaginary wealth. All Treated Alike. "Thus the former man of standing lnoks to the attendant Just like the loorest of them all and all are ac corded the same treatment. Orders on ccposited funds, however, are recosr nued for the purchase of fruit or lit tle delicacies for which the patient his friends are willing to pay. "Once In the ward I was Immediately plunged Into a hot bath, enrobed In a clean nightdresa and given a comforta ble bed upon a cot. The drunken stu por or slumber left me before day licht and. as I awakaned, an attend ant entered and gave me a drink of water. I talked as eloquently, as diplomatically and advanced as many reasons ss any man In my condition could why I should have, as a matter or life and death, a drink of whisky, af was told gently, but painfully direct. tiat I was there to be cured and that there wss no boose to be had at any price. Before the second day of tor ture by the dying out or removal of the whisky from my system. I realised that the attendant had told the truth. "After three daya In bed I was given my clothes snd permitted tlTe freedom of the corridor and then was forcibly thrust npon me the most effective temeeranca lesson ever presented to mankind -It wss not the oft-heard story of alcohol destroying the mind and trans forming the cleanly, manly, masterful man Into a gibberlne Idiot. It was txere In actuality. Not one. but more than Si lessons in this one ward. In the hopeless, demoniacal, paresis and other wards were more than 1300 ex amplications of the great truth of the awtulness of an over-indulgence In al cohol so often preached Into our ears, but so seldom heeded. "la this ward one cases re first brought for observation, the physi cians well skilled In the diagnosis of snental dlseasea assigning Individuals to various wards after studying the case or discharging them In due time when cured.. All ('lasers Are Treated. "Here I found a former well-known physician. an attorney respected throughout the state not so very long ago for Ms profound knowledge of the law and bis eloquence In the cotirt svom. oa the rostrum and in legisla tive halls: a commercial man who 'made' every town In the Northwest for the Portland wholesale firm be repre sented so successfully that he was re puted to have been paid a salary of 110.000 a year and expenses. There were mental dereitets from all walks of life, the downfall of u per cent oi whom being Irrefutably attributable to booze. & per cent from depraved prac t'ces and the other 6 per cent caused by various reasons, chiefly hereditary. I give these percentabes not taking the asylum as a whole, but ward one. "Christmas day I thought of these former lolly good fellows' and won dered If even one of their former roy etertng companions had proved friend enough or remembered them sufficient ly well toall and say a cheering word. "This ward, in fact all the institu tion, all parts of which I visited sev eral times before leaving. Is kept scrupulously neat and clean. Good, wholesome food Is provided In plenty and the 'mad house' stories of bru talltv so often heard and read of are al-soiutely refuted as far as this asylum Is concerned. "The superintendent has surrounded himself from the highest sub-offtcial to the most menial employe with men and women attendants and helpers who are absolutelv sober at all times and places, on duty or off. These officials and helpers are upholding me nsnas of their chief In his already proved theory that gentleness, kindness and humoring Is the correct method of handling those whose brains are woe fully clouded. I found by close ob servation, and In the latter days of my stay I made a study of this - ues tlon and I believe with unprejudiced and clear mind, that all patients are attended with the same care and gen tleness, as If they were cash customers of a well organized hospital. Atteadaata JLr Fattest. "1 have observed very aged and to tally helpless patients attended and their beds kept fresh and cleanly win a patience on the part of the attend ants hardly to be credited certainly not exceeded by one's own high sal aried trained nurse. All this after so many stories conjuring up the bru talities of 'mad houses throughout the country was Indeed a revelation to me. "There can certainly be no diversity of opinion regarding the beneficence of this feature of the "Oregon system' in caring for the state's unfortunate wards. "Patients get "brain storm' and be come violent. These must be strapped down or cared for In order to protect them from themselves or Injuring others. Discipline is rigidly enforced. Exercise Is accorded all patients able to leave their beds, but an Intelligent wateh Is maintained to prevent over fatigue, and it certainly employs In telligence to segregate the slilrker from the patient who has had enough. Some of the tales of the crafty cun ning of the Insane are mighty Interest ing, but If told must form the subject for another letter. "During my five weeks' stsy In the Institution with so many different per sonalities it would be strange If I did cot learn much and unlearn a great many things which I formerly believed. The newspapers told me several years ago that a renegade named Ford trai torously killed Jesse James. This wss evidently an error, as I met Jesse In one of the wards. At least he told me he was that famed outlaw aa he bade me "bands up." "I had never hoped for the remark able opportunity which would bring me fac to face with the great char actors of -the world's biblical and polit ical history. A - o girte-r-bred Indian claims th title of Saviour and this particular Christ Is usually accom panied about the . corridor of thelr ward by Moses and Solomon In the persons of an Irishman and a Swede. "How this Hibernian chose the name of Moses passes all understanding, "traage Ilallacloat loaa Fix 1st.

Russell, keeper of the home, tele phoned to a number of neighbors who came and assisted In keeping the flames from spreading to adjoining buildings. This building was used as a dormitory for the Inmates of the institution, sbout 20 In number, and the question of hous ing them Is a serious one. as all of them are feeble and In poor health. The building was Insured for $jOOQ which about covers the loss. Yacht Club to Dance Again.
