j kind as a whole. ' They must aid in
the ; movements, for Instance, for

Instead of combining to dictate

they should seek to lead the way to

AS TO PRIVATE ASYLUMS

against private asylums, sanita
riums and kindred institutions
are of small consequence and
q worthy of little attention or concern.
jThey are aa numerous and recurrent
as reappearances of the measles, and
. . . . . .
. niosuy a lar jera reason ior alarm.
They are so frequent and so per
, tietent In recurrence as to suggest
that they are psychically contagious
-.and a matter of custom rather than
reaboo That -they are to be con
"stantly made Is to be expected from
the predominant class of patients
'that are committed there for treat
' tnent. They are mostly patients who
, are markedly temperamental, and at
the time of commitment are mental

A soperaensltlve Imagination Is in

land this institution is the Baby
Home where the little derelicts on
the sea of life are reclaimed and
given sustenance and shelter. It
would be a mighty indictment of the
social body lf there were no organ

for these hapless children. In the

is the essence and heart of true phi
anthropy; the other, in the main,
the egotism of usurious wealth.
The hand that throws a . lifeline
to the helpless is an exemplar of the
best impulse in life. The organiza

than the men who build a city or

ed out that It was not wheat growers
alone who would be Injuriously af

ing men were all indirectly Interested
for their prosperity., is indlssolubly
linked with .that of the farmers. If
the farmers are thus handicapped by
a heavy freight tax, all classes of
people must suffer along with them
This .meeting of protest should be
duplicated at all prominent points in
agricultural districts throughout
this region, and Indeed the whole
country. The farmers ought to rise
up as one man in protest against this
ship subsidy scheme. But It Is per
tinent and timely to remind them
that in doing so they will be lncon
slstent, as long as they continue to
vote for a high protective tariff.
The ship subsidy will rob them of a
good deal, but the protective tariff
robs them of much more, and has
been doing so for many years. The
ship subsidy is only an added piece
to a big complex machine whose
purpose .is plunder.
