lSUO.ADSlDE ATTACK
Another broadside attack upon a!
histitutic-n wh*h is housing men
anj women of the north, and from
all evidences able'to be gathered s
ut l rendering the service that such
;ul estaolUihrneut is supposed to
render. Men and women la this
modern age where all beings are
supposed to be treated on a Pf
with at least their station in lUe.
dues it not seem to you, ttat
treatment is placing human. b®»ngi
below the animal kindom? Cer
tainly there i9 uot a reader °
this article but who would take
better tare of his cnimal pet man
has beet, accorded these unfortunau
people. This concludes aj» «"
tid'.vit tampaign which the Alaskan
has carried on in the Interest* o
Alaska and sincerely hope that
will culminate in better treatment
if net a permanent arrangement for
an iast*tutioon for the car© an
neatmeut of the insane within our
boundaiies. where we. who are
,o vitally concerned may have the
institution under our scrutiny an
ku-vr iue condition which our peo
ple ate living in.
Dear Sitf; I read an article in
your paper saying that very few
ot the Alaska insane recover. I
was committed there and I want
to tell you the reason why there
dou'l more recover.
Accommodations
Th-: re are approximate^ two hun
drel and eight patients, or more
correctly prisoners, at Morningside
hospital divided into two rooms.
The on!v persons who have any
ch&itce to go out doors are per
haps a dozen that chop wood and
wcrk in the garden. The most hor
rible I urt cf it is the dining room.
Tht are all herded theree together
Indians, Negroes. Chinamen, Esqu
ntaux, Japanese, white men and
women, sane and insane, and some
gone with disease. There is n0
sugar, n-llk or butter on the table
only black molasses. In the morn
ing ; litre is rolled oats and po
tatoes and the ootatoes are nearly
always sour. They never, hnd a
change all the time I was there,
except when there was a few beans
and some cod fish from supper
and sice kind of stuff they called
coffee. I think it was, old coffee
grounds boiled over and over. At
lunch 'h<?re was the same kind of
s'ew '.hree times a week, made of
liver, carrots, turnips and some
times a little meat in it, and bread
and water twice a week, some kinds
of old soft-fish, and bread. The
other two days we had t>eans and
cabbage.
There was a man with lxis nose
nearly rone from disease at the
table 1 eat at. and the'only way I
could eat was tc turn my bach: to
him. He was the most terrible
sight I ever saw. I made a ktek
and -hey bandaged it up, and he
would come down t» the table
with tbe bandage soaked in blood
and use the same st>oon to dish
out the same food that there was
which he ate and would sticlr his
hands in the stew and everything
«dse.
Compensation
Dinner wasn't quite so bad.
Taere was generally beans, a little
dried fruit, bread and tea. The
air on a cloudy night made it
worse than the steerage on a big
snip that is crowded ,and it was
made still worst) from foul foot
and bad stomachs. The stronj
ropm is worse than any hog pen
i Tntre are bed bug® infest it a n<
' it is unfit for human beings.
I understand 'hey got $27.50 to
' each victim. They aro paid thi
' same for the sane as the insane
'and 1 don't believe a man iaeve'
' released, no matter how sane h
is If be hasn't got friends. The;
claim to hold' a. person thre
months and if there Is no s'gns o
icsacKy to give them tfctlr release
I belitvo there i3 .absolutely n<
cure to be got there and it's '
crime against any person, sane o
insane , 1 believe that men, tha
will send men, and women to an in
1 stitutiou conducted in the way tha
Morulngside -hosnital is conducted
Allowing conditions as they arc
haye muxder in their hearts.
1 asked the ma:shal to put mi
in LX6 hospital where I woul<
haye teen all righ» in a few days
This I can prove a' lest when oi
-he boat. 1

There were two died while
was there. They get my money
watch end clothes, and I got ar
old pair of ovrealls, a two bit shin
and an old pair of shoes. Thej
read your mail and don't sen<
your le'ters without they wish t<
and refuse you consel. You'rf
completely at their mercy, and ther
is no object in killing t'le goosf
that l.iys the goldtn eggs. -1 sweai

Is my witness. 1 ask you in th<
name of humanity to publish,' this
or any part you see fit, and tc
advocate refom or a_ thorcugh in.
vfrstigation so that saue person:
will net be hefcet for a orofit, ant
proper food, fresh air and sanitrj
conditions for the unfortunate will
be provided .
There is no 'division between
the bad and the mild case?, and
the women fare as bad as the men
in the d.'i:iDg room. • 1

The "maidest brttne" of tfi^pennj
was "\leuarius," and the EugllshjpennT
Is a survival of the. Uoman l ulCKin tlw
British Isles. Like/the colu which pro
j ceded It In Rome. > it bas been defeased
[ lu value uutil its' name bas lost its
i original meaning- The first deuariua
: was minted hi Koine about "08 B. C.
j and was the principal silver coin of
• both the republic and the empire. It at
first weighed seventy-two grains troy
imd was as nearly pure silver as du
rability would permit. It bore on one
side the helmeted head of Roma and
the mark X and on the_other side the
Images of Castor aud l'ollnx. Later
these twin gods were replaced' by the
head of the Roman emperors. By 215
A. D. the coin had deteriorated In
value until it was only 40 per cent
silver. The X, which signified the val
ue of ten asses, had wholly lost Its
meaning. Diocletian finished the deg
radation of the denarius by applying
• the name to a small copper coin. In
England the largest sliver coin was
; called a denarius at a time when the
i English florin was called a gold'penny.

Edicsn and Hit Mother;
During the short time that he at
tended school Thomas A. Edison was
'< nearly always at the foot of his class
. On one occasion a teacher remarked
[ lo the Inspector that the boy was
"addled" aud that trying to tutor him
. was a mere waste of time.
The youth overheard the remark. He
repeated it to his mother, who prompt
' ly tools the child back to the school and
told the teacher he did not know what
i he was talking about aud that the lad
' had more brains than the teacher.
. Referring to this critical period of
, his existence, Mr. Edison oace said:
"Had It not been for mv mother's ap
prestation and faith in mo I should
f- very likely never have been an In
1 ventor. She was so true, so sure of
' me. that I felt that I had some one t<>
: live for, some one I must not disap
. point. The memory of her will always
be a blessing to me."-Oolumbjs Dis
