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,

Napoleon hobnobs with and Is a

and this is not the most peculiar of
the many strange freaks and fancies
which take, possession of a disordered
brain. An ax-saloonkeeper believes
that ho Is Nero and during my stsy I
