TOO MANY ASYLUMS

The opinion expressed by Governor
Budd in the course of his very inter-
esting remarks published recently in
The HERALD, that but three insane asy-
lums-two north and one south of Te-
hachepi-should be maintained by the
state is certainly well-founded and
should prevail. The governor said:
'In my inaugural | called attention to
this abuse in regard to the insane asylums
and gave two causes therefor. First, the
desire of members of the legislature from
particular sections 10 secure the approval of
their constituents, by comforting upon them
certain supposed benefits and the conse-
quent iniquitous system of trading, to
which this gave rise; and second, the
presence. in the already existing asyIums.
of inmates who, under the law, were not
entitled TO admission and have no right to
be retained there | pointed out my
authority for these statements, and stated
had the law been properly complied with
III the past. three asyiuIns only would have
been required-one south and two north of
Tehachepi- these, with slight addi-
tons to their capacity, would have been
more than ample to meet the demands of
the state for years to come
"More than a year as governor has
strengthened my warrant for this asser-
ton. The increase in the number of in
sane for the last few years is, believe,
about 100 per year.
1T has been estimated that at least l5
per cent of those in the insane asylums to-
day do not properly belong there. The
present capacity of our insane asylums.
with an expenditure of a few thousand
dollars, is upwards of 700 patients, thus
showing how easily the insane, for years
to come. could have been maintained,
under three managenents, by an expendi-
lums cost.
Il believe today that, on business prn-
ciples, we ought not to maintain over
three insane asylums in California
The two prime reasons for the estab-
ishment and maintenance of SUPER
fious asylums are suggested in the
foregoing, they lie in the desire of
legislators to win favor by securing for

The phrase. "bachelor of arts the first

was sent to the police statation requesting

was dispatched 10 the scene. and upon ar
rival heard clrsing and loud talk behind the
closed door of a room. This was quickly
followed by blow and heavy body fell
to the floor.
Thinking it high time to interfere, he
threatened to break in unless the door was
opened, which was finally done. In the
room were Goodman and the woman. 1t
appears that he had made call on her
and began abusing her in such manner that

1t has been suggested that the Addicks
and Higgins wings shall get together and
give and take and thus have one Rcpubll-
can ticket in the field. Money, coaxing
and even coercion will not be able to make
men vote the way any man or set OF men
want them to vote The Republican voter
does his own thinking and is different
kind of person from the average Demo-
crat. The Democrats generally vote for
whoever is placed on their ticket; the Re-
publican voter don't, and what's more,
won't. With two Republican tickets in
the field there is only one result and that
Is the defeat of the Republican ticket.
There Is no use for the Republicans to
keep up the quarrel over what will be di-
yided among the Democrats. If the two
tickets are kept in the field. And further
more there will be little use Of keeping
up an organization that will only be down
ut the next election and every succeeding
one in Delaware. There is no use of be-
ing bull headed and obstinate and say that
l won't do this and l won't do that The
people will settle the difficulty and in such
a manner that the 50 called leaders will be
relegated to the background and their
leadership spurned and spat upon. How

drapery about the feet Black stockings
remain the most appropriate as long as
black shoes are worn, and even with tan
ones they are desirable. As for the shoes
themselves, 1t is always better economy to
buy really good ones. They fit better look
better, are made better and wear better

clumsy and usually possess that most

also we'll to remember that well dressed

vulgar woman's toilet that bears the
stamp Of vulgarity more plainly than her
shoes, for even if she buys expensive ones
she is sure to get them so small that when
they arc on they seem full to bursting, and
the buttons are strained to their last thread.
