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 •many impr.v enu :its are required and a u ■ i b’lter clii. i lint bofort pppropriati. There are Institution a number > t tWiouid bo than $HK>, sum nllotv 1 pr-bably abuses.

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. : ANNOUNCEMENTS j < ITV I’KIM ARY .NOTICE.
