The poor inmates cannot defend themselves; they must take what is given them. They are afraid to say anything; and if they should talk, their mental condition could be held up as making their charges unreliable and of no ef- fect. Thus conditions brought about by those who are at the head could make these institu- tiens places of horror as well as the asylums they are supposed the ones who are made ta suffer first. It ts to be hoped that the agi- tation at present going on, fos t mainly by The Seattle Star, result in better laws and governing these institutions. laws of inspection should be in force. It ts our duty to see hat these unfortunate ones are decently treated.

They have no part in all the noisy noons; They are become as dreams of ships that go Back to the secret waters that they know, Each as whe will, to unforgot lagoons, Where nothing moves except her ghostly spars That mark the patient watches on the stars.
