Questions of science are always to
be proven, and are treated as matters
of fact, and the court should not IN
struct in regard to them. The fact that
these matters are discussed in legai
treatises or judicial opinions does not
convert them into propositions OF law
Conceding that an act was the OIL
spring of irresistible impulse, and that
the impulse was irresistible because OF
mental disease, still the defendant
must be held responsible If he at the
time had the requisite knowledge as to
the nature and quality of the act, and
Of its wrongfulness.
An instruction to jury TO the effect
that after weighing the evidence they
must decide according to their con-
sciences, is not erroneous.

AND MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENT.

The Dixon Tribune says that Val
Iejo has sensibly decided to abandon
partisan politics in city government,
and hereafter set up and maintain nom
partisanship in municipal government.
Whether that is sensible or not depends.
If by -partisanship our contem-
porary means selection of officials half
and half from the oldline party or
ganizations, then it is a very raw and
unsavory non partisanism. In fact, it
is neutral in everything and response
BILE in nothing.
Nothing is more ridiculous, absurd or
farcical than the idea that a city nee
essarily gains an independent, clean and
non-partisan board of officials by divid-
ing the loaves and fishes among two
or three lots of contending party seek
ers, who, once in office are responsible
to nobody, and independent in nothing
excepting freedom from party obliga-
ton and accountability.
A genuine non-partisan government
for city, if such a thing is possible
(our trials of it here proving it to be
quite impossible), would mean body
of public servants selected wholly and
only on the basis of competency, su-
perlor and notorious fitness, unques-
toned integrity, notable skill, high in
teligence and conceded freedom from
self seeking, as well as acknowledged
unselfish devotion to the good of the
people The officials would be chosen
not from other party tickets, but wholly
irrespective of them, and responsible
to a visible, a well-balanced, firm and
exacting organization represented by a
central body that manages the neces-
sary machinery for selection, presenta-
ton and election Of the chosen non
paTtisanS@
But when a city has all this, has II
not simply a party? Is it not a new
party? Has not new partisanship been
erected? For party presupposes organ
ization, erection Of a. power with pre-
negatives, duties and obligations, rep
resentative Of a body of people who
think alike along certain lines of gov
ernmental policy, and who through
their organization may call to account
the men upon whom they impose duties
and confer honors.
Truth Is, this chatter about non-par-
ttsanship is loose, unsatisfactory, and
20 this date has given us, with rare
and few exceptions. no better municipa
parties. but rather worse results. The
Record Union has led and Joined in
several efforts to establish non-parti-
sanism in local government. Equally
1t has opposed several such attempts
1t Is now in a position TO say that until
non-partisan government is backed by
some authority to call to account out.

born for such an Office. and undeniably
he was not trained for it. There IS,
then, not nearly so much reproach at
taching to him in all this unhappy and
unsavory matter as to the political in
fiuences that snatched him from the
quiet and successful pursuit of vo-
cation for which he was competent, and
thrust him into a place for which, by
nature, lack of experience and special
study he was untitled.
There is no escape from this conclu-
sion, and in it there is a lesson that
must not be overlooked. 1t puts the
responsibility for all the misery of the
past months concerning the Preston
School precisely where it belongs. 1t
pushes into bold frontage a fact that
stares all the people in the face, and
brings a blush to the cheek Of who
ever desires the highest best good of
all the people. 1t asks a question that
will not remain unanswered: why
was a nan born to the office, so to
speak, qualified by study and long
training, removed from the superin-
tendency of aschool which heGovernor
of the State, under whom his removal
was Effected, declared was so well man.

ways that he, the Chief Executive, did
not deem it necessary to make any in
vestigation after his first inquiry into
the affairs Of the school, and where he
found superintendent who was Civ
ing such eminent satisfaction that he,
the Governor, would dismiss the insti-
tuition from mind, as needing on his
part any special watchfulness or con-
Germ? %
We undertake to say, with fair
knowledge Of the reports of reforma-
tories and the reading of much litera-
ture on the subject covering fifty years
reform school history in the United
States, that not another instance can be
cited where, deliberately and coolly,
political power has so unblushingly
and unreasonably intruded into a pub
lie charity. Not another case can be
found IL the history of public charities
and correction in the whole United
States, outside of California, where a
school or institution has before been so
ripped up simply and solely at political
command, and to satisfy the demands
tors.
Let it be hoped that it will prove to
be the last instance of the kind in the
State of California, or anywhere else.
1t is an object lesson sufficient for a
century; nay, it suffices for the limit
less life of State
1t Will, however, have served one
grand, good purpose. 1t will stamp the
great truth deep upon the hearts and
minds of the people that public insti-
tutio1S for the care of the wards of
the State are not of right, never should
be and must not be subject to parti-
san control and political manipulation,
or made the means for awarding politi-
cal piuns to party servitors.
The asylums of the State, the Re-
form and Normal Schools, the prisons
and State charities must be taken out
and kept out of political life Tenure
of service in them must be put upon
the high and only ground possible for
them compatible with attainment of
the ends Of their creation, namely, fit
ness in all things, regardless of party
rewards, political faith, religious be-
lief, Iarty service OF personal ambi-
ton.
