sixteen and then expecting them to
learn how to get alopg in the world
is all wrong. It is unfair to the young

gives them the impression that the

SILVER
I have talked so much about silver
in tftis column'that perhaps 1 am sus
pected of owning a silver mine. 1
haven’t a cent’s worth of interest in
buying or selling, silver, but the more
1 study the subject the more con-
virwed 1 am that anything which
would result in restoring silver to its
old currency position, es7)e<’ially in the
Orient, would immediately stimulate
trade and raise commodity prices, and
so benefit ever>’body in the world.
I have just been reading report.s of
the hearings held in Wa.shington by a
•subcommittee of the house committee
on. coinage, weights and measures, of
which Hon. Andrew H. .Somers is
chairman. Nobody can study those
statements without being convinced
that silver is a much more important
factor in the world’s trade than most
of us realize. I advjse anybody who
w’ants to know more about the sub
ject to write to Representative .Som

This is a long step in advance and
one w'hich the other railroads will
have to take also. There will alway.s

INSANITY
The old idea that insanity of any
kind is a mental condition originatipg
in and confined to the brain has bwn
proved to be just as absurd as the old
idoa that lunatics and idiots were the
victim.-^ of a direL’t ak’t of God, accord

Ney; Jersey tjtale Hospital for

of the state, and to investigate and
report on any subject of science or
industrial, art w^hen called upon by
any department of the government.

been outstanding.
