The Problem of Insanity.
A movement is on foot to make
mental hygiene, as embracing study
and treatment of Insanity, a part of
our public health propaganda. The
National Committee for' Mental Hy
giene, with headquarters in New
York, proposes to take active part
in the Fifteenth International Con
gress on Hygiene, which meets this
week in Washington.
The Outlook recites the fact that
on January 1, 1810, the date of the
last available statistics, there were
187,454 insane persons In our Insti
tutions, without counting others who
ought to have been there. This num
ber, it adds, exceeded the combined
enlisted strength of the federal army,
navy and marine corps and the num
ber of students enrolled in all our
colleges and universities up to that
time. The magnitude of the menace
explains why thoughtful, men toave
come to see the need of co-ordinating
all effective influences for combat
ting this tendency, which has come
to be a. serious social and economic
problem.
The country expends annually fn
the care of its Insane in these Insti
tutions $32,000,000,, which, we are
reminded, is more than the govern
ment spent In the maintenance of
Its executive, legislative and judicial
departments in 1910. Twenty-three
per cent of all legislative appropria
tions in New York that year went for
the care of its insane, while only 4
per cent went for the prisons and re
formatories. This may be taken as
showing the relative burden, from
one phase, at least, of the problems
of Insanity and criminality. . ,.. .
the mental hygiene advocates have
planned a systematic campaign for
creating purer mental atmoephere,
getting at the causes of insanity,
treating insane patients and those
bordering on collapse; making the
same effort to reach the diseases of
the mind 'as of bodily ailments and
sanitation. ' The movement is com
mendable,'; of course, yet it will re
quire years , of patient endeavor to
check and overcome the fearful tend
encies which conditions of present-
day working and living seem to ac
celerate. V: M '

,World Preparation for Panama.
Five South American ' republics
are said to be expending $225,000,-
000 in developing their waterway!,
harbors and railways for the open
ing of the Panama cana. European
and Asiatic nations are spending, ad
ditional millions, which, taken with
the South American outlay, far ex
ceeds the dost of the canal's' con
structlonrl$400,Q00,000. Japan and' China are ; building
more ships in anticipation of their
enlarged traffic through, the 4 Pan
ama. "European governments ' are
said to have instructed their consu
lar and diplomatic agents to report
on every phase of trade advantage
expected to accrue. It is1 doubtful If
the average American really appre
ciates the world-wide Importance of
this task his nation is about to com
plete. It is certain he does not re
alize what an influence this interna
tional highway will have upon the
commerce of the world, to say noth
ing of that of his own country. Yet
the United States will be found
ready, it Is hoped, for every duty
and demand imposed by the opening
of the canal. . .
v This stupendous work of prepara
tion by other nations suggests plainly
that sentiment is not going to con
trol the patronage of the Panama.
Nations will use it because it will
pay them to do so, knowing that the
United States "would not, and could
not If it would, practice unfair dis
crimination upon them.

Albert Law Enforcement.
A public letter-writer, dating his
communication from a little coufitry
town, discussing the Albert law as
a cure for the social evil, ex
presses inability to decide "why "the
World-Herald, The Bee and the po
lice department of Omaha are so op
posed to giving this law a reason
able trial."
Leaving others to speak for them
selves, The Bee denies the allega
tion that it is opposed to giving the
Albert law a reasonable trial. Like
the no-treat law, the no-Sunday
labor law and a lot of other simi
larly good-lntentloned laws, the trou
ble with the Albert law is in our
opinion not .lack of a "reasonable
trial" so much as lack of reason
ableness In the law.
; The only part of the Albert law
which adds anything to previously
existing statutes is that which sup
plies a remedy by injunction against
owners of property used as vice re
sorts and this part of the law is
easily subject to enforcement by the
proper officers. It is the conse
quences of enforcement, , or threat
ened enforcement, which make the
present problem, and which has ap
parently driven the police depart
ment from frying pan to fire.
inv oee aoes not nesuaie 10 say
that It has no sympathy whatever
with raids that have no other result
but ,to throw Into jail a lot of poor,
helpless, degraded women, anc to ex
tract from them a few dollars fine,
setting them adrift again to ply
Uhelr trade orstarve. Nothing what
ever is gained to the rest of the com
munity or for the reformation of the
women by driving these wretched
creatures from pillar to post, and re
peatedly arresting them as street
walkers every time they go out for
a breath of fresh air. The theory
of the Albert law is to get
after the owners of the places
in which this traffic Is carried on.
While some people think a reasonable
effort to do so might accomplish
something and even of this we have
doubts no one but a fanatic can be
lieve that the pitiless persecution of
the helpless victims of social degen
eracy, does any good whatever.

Use and Abuse of Encores.
The "encore nuisance" comes in
for a sharp rap from one of the dra
matic papers. The encore may be a
manifestation of pleasure and ap
proval or merely a reflex of the de
sire to get something for nothing.
As a rule, however, the score is
evened by the players figuring on
responding to such calls when mak
ing up the program just as the hotel
man . counts on-tips augmenting the
wages of his employes. This facj is
quickly disclosed whenever the num
ber of encores overruns the average,
and the customary devices are re
sorted to to call a halt. The encore
is all right in its way, but, like any
other good horse, it may easily be
ridden to death. : -

Province of Church and School.
Is there any limit to the scope of
activities of the church and . public
school. In the absence of a definitely
accepted limitation, we have only
sound sense and judgment to fall
back on. The tendency is toward
overloading. Some are trying to
crowd into the school curriculum a
lot of lextraneous matter, which,
while doubtless good training, really
should be taught in the home. And
so with the church, the disposition to
make it serve ends of civic reform,
risks impairing its usefulness for its
primary purpose. V V
The "ferment of religious seal
should be so strong in the church as
to break forth in service wherever
the need exists, but may not this be
done more appropriately and more
effectively through churchmen
than through the cfiurch as a re
ligious organization? And, in fact,
will not this be the case if the church
performs its duty of preaching the
gospel as effectively as it should?
In other words, Is not the church
doint- Its largest service when It is
setting other forces to work? When
the church shall have risen to Its
possibilities in this regard it will
not find the demand so Insistent for
s. diversity of Its activities.
As for the school, Its course bas
never been wholly satisfactory, but
the work of readjustment needs to
be done with extreme care lest the
fundamentals suffer from deprecia
tion
The Cowboy and Automobile.
One of the features of the old cow
punchers' roundup "at Valentine the
other day was an automobile ride a
rare feature, forsooth. One is set to
conjuring in his mind what might
have happened bad auy of the Bob
Emorys or Mose Howards or Jim
Dahlmans of this clan come tearing
onto the Mlnnechaduxa twenty or
thirty years ago in one of these
snorting go-devils. What they did to
the tenderfoot would be nothing com
pared to what might befall the. bull
skinner rash enough' for that. There
would surely have been a matching
of shooting irons, for those were days
when gentlemen took nothing for
granted, and woe o the one who
presumed too far. Even the cattle
would have milled and the cayuses
stampeded. ' .'.-v , ir'.

vatlon in the modern cleansing

faction. It is in direct line with
the movement for - sanitation
throughout the country, and this
change in size is expected likewise
to prove pleasing.
Timely Action.
The effectiveness of one's efforts
depends largely upon their ' timeli
ness. Timely action is the action
that counts.. - Doing a thing out of
time is often not to do it at all.
Closing the barn- door after the horse
k stolen is equivalent to not closing
it, so far as the loss of the horse is
concerned. Yet some folks seem to
have the faculty of doing their deeds
just in this untimely fashion. "Strike
whild the iron is hot" or you might
as well save your strength, for cold
metal does not readily yield to. mere
pressure.
Life is full of such homely illustra
tions. One is found in the vernacu
lar of base ball. The pinch hitter is
the valuable hitter, because he makes
his bits when they count for runs,
and runs are needed. The man who,
with the bases full and three runs
required to win, lifts the ball over
the fence is not to be compared with
the man who knocks a home run
only after the victory is nailed down.
The pinch hitters in the game of life,
the men who may be implicitly de
pended on to meet the emergency,
unfortunately, are not as numerous
as they should be. '
Bail and Eiver Traffic.
Kansas City and other towns along
the Missouri river below that point
feel that they are getting good re
sults from the rejuvenated water
transportation, as this interesting
little story from the Kansas City Star
would Indicate:
Several day ago the barge Handy was
being loaded lh East St. Louis for a trip
up the Missouri river to Kansas City. A
certain Kansas City jobber had a car of
freight in East 6t Louis at that time, on
iti W&y tiei'e from an eastern Ui&nufau
turer. An agent for the boat line learned
of the car and offered to ship It by the
barge Handy. The Kansas City Jobber
said he would like to take advantage of
the lower river freight rates, but he
needed that car of goods right away and
would ( have it shipped by the "faster"
railroads.
80 the Advance with its tow. the Handy,
steamed out of East St. Louis without
that car of freight They arrived In Kan
sas City yesterday, unloaded, took on a
down rtver cargd and departed at noon
today. An hour before the host cleared
the Jobber called up the boat line office.
He said his car of "fast" railway freight
had not yet arrived. He had heard of
the Handy' arrival yesterday.
Some local obstacle might have
arisen to delay the train in this case,
but nevertheless the comparison
prompts the question: If one city and
section can Benefit so" handily from
river navigation, why not others? .

. Feeding the Divorce Mills.
Such marriages as the one her
alded the other day from Los An
geles, imposing no obligation either
party is bonnd to respect, but leav
ing both to the indulgence of their
own caprice, make fine grist for the
divorce mills.. It is one of the trag
edies of life that responsible magis
trates are found in plenty to seal
such travesties with the law's ap
proval.' What may we expect for
the sacred institution of wedlock
when Buch audacious examples of
loose-leaved matrimony are thus
sanctioned? It is bad enough to
unite mismated couples m willing to
subscribe to ' the customary altar
vow, but deliberately to license free
love Is to foster an evil more sinister
than divorce Itself. The censurable
parties to a compact of licentious
ness are not only the so-called bride
and groom, but also the one who
misuses his authority to perform a
marriage ceremony.'

since the pew bills are to' be more

And seek no end of leisure or ot fame,
But simple happiness they hope to win.
The' great dome mounts to meet the
watching stars,
Wide as the spinning earth from tone
to zone. '
And far upon the upper beams and bars
, The dreamers and truth seekers work
alone.
They toil with faith in One who yet abova
Has planned the structure's ever rising,
height
With wisdom more than man's and
deeper love,- ,
With hope that they are mounting to
His sight. '
Through centuries the ceaseless hammers
ring;
Though once they paused when stilled
by hate and strife, '
Now evermore the workmen toil and
: sing. ; -,
And stroke by stroke is wrought the
temple life.
