WHAT SAVANNAH NLWS SAYS ALOUT IT.
Discussing the all-important question
of the state sanitarium the Savannah
Morning News of Tuc; day ays:
It is questionable whether tho agita
tion, based open charges, for improve
ments nt the state Sanitarium is wife at
this time. The Legislature his ad
journed,ami hence there is no pr. liability
< t an additional appropriation for the
institution inside of a year. In practi
cally every county ,there are people
who have friends or relatives confined
there. The agitation is calculated to
cause them anxiety for the welfare of
these friends and relatives. If any
■good could bo accomplished at this time,
•or if changes for tho better were im
peratively ami immediately demanded,
agitation would be in order.
As far ns we have been able to dis
cover. the officials of tho Sanitarium
arc doing all that can lie done with the
snonev at their disposal, if we uro not
mistaken, thin was the conclusion of
the legislative committee that made an
investigation during t^p recent session
<if the Legislature.
If that committee had reported that
tho officials were incompetent and that
tho money was being wasted-if it had
said that there were abuses that needed
correcting ut on.’e to avoid scut dais of a
verv serious nature—then the present
Agitation would bo in order, liut, if we
•understand the comniittoe’s report,
-what is needed is more money. A great

sation is but a small inducement to
render good and efficient service it is
extremely dillicuit to get employes who
are in every respect tollable and
efficient.
It is clear from what lias been said
ll-.at tile Legislature at its next session
will have to give the institution very
(•ireful (onsideration. and that, too,
v ith tlie understanuiog diut uwill have
t > provide a grout deal more money for
it - maintenance, lftho trutbjweie known
i: would probably appear that J500,000
(,>uld be profitably spo t upon the build
ings. if the people are profoundly in
earnest in wanting the institution
!• -ought up to a much higher stand-
; vd they must got ready to bear
the expense. They can do this l>v in-
i -ting upon a proper valuation of their
1 roperty fe.r laxin.t purposes.
from out of the bounds of reason the ctories of the Georgia
State .Sanitarium have gone into the depths of the political abyss. In the
v hill pool of administrative uncertainty some ol the best men in the state are
caught, but jjack of them will stand forever their record, making an unbrok
en raracr tor good. In the case of the investigation into conditions at the
is; lum there is no doubt but that rcmpletjr exoneration will result if the
element of political domination docs not enter into the affair.
Iiut new trustees will be appointed soon and to the victors belong the
spoil. It may come to the place where changes may have to follow at the
bidding of ringsters, or schemers for prestige, but surely the most radical
politician in the state will relent when it comes to making a change where
the welfare of Ihe unfortunates of the state is concerned. Men and mea
sures should dwindle in the face of such inconceivable actions and motives
higher and nobler should prevail.
In the first place there is no room f. r such allegations as are sent out in
(his particular and the hand of men working for the insane of the state are
leading a consecrated work. We have no reason for taking a hand in this
other than to uphold the right and so long as this work goes on we will he on
that side, and ever afterward, as for that.
There may be more things hack of this work tlnn can be fathomed just
now. Antiquated buildings is one of the charges and it sounds like an cl
'ort to replace these splendid structures with others, hut the others will be
somewhere c’se. 'I hat may be part of the plan and Atlanta may be after
ihem. Rut if right is right and right the day must win then the sanitarium
and its officials will come out of the fray without a blemish and people of
Georgia will really be proud of the great institution and its work for the
children exiled from reason.
