OREGON ASYLUM ABUSES.

No branch Of the puclc service needs
reformation 80 much NJ the manage
ment Of the Insane Asylum. With a
population Of less than 100000, Oregon
keeps nearly 1900 inmates in so-caled
asylum for the insane--a number ont Of
all proportion 10 our population.
The abuse begins from the time per
son is arrested under the old law which
simply requires some one 10 swear that
the person II oi unsound mind and unfit
10 be at large. Then the sheriff arrests
and an examination il held before the
county judge or justice Of the peace.
One or more physicians and the district
attorney conduct the examination and
the sheriff and all the officers get Il
salary or fees out uf the commitment
and there is no one 20 appear for the in
dividual charged with insanity and no
one appears TO protect the public against
the commitment Of persons not insane.
The result Of this system is that any.
one OF unsound mind and unfit 20 be- at
large In the opinion of the above per-
sons, none Of whom may be experts,
aud some of whom may he interested
parties-indced often the whole examin-
ing board are interested in sending q
person who is charge on the county to
be n charge on the state.
This crude system Of commitment has
been in force for long years, aud the re-
suit is the state asylum is filled mp with
hundreds Of persons who are not insane,
but who are diseased victims Of alcohol,
morphine, cigarette iiends, nicotine vic
Tins, men and women made insane from
patent medicines, malpractice and other
vicious habits.
In charge Of this system is placed n
man like DIR, Paine who was put into
office with loud pledges of reform. but
who has not concerned himself with
anything but social and political matters,
and in fact has resisted the only efforts
to turn daylight ON asylum abuses or to
secure legislative reforms. lie may have
recommended reforms, but mo- one has
heard OF them and none have been
accomplished.
Nepotism, commerialism, shoddy

ABoLIsHINo REcEIvERsHIPs.

The ruling Of Judge j. B. Cleland, one
Of the most talented nisi prius judges
Of Multnomah county, who came from
the district bench Of Iowa, to the effect
that there is no legislation in Oregon

crships in Oregon, is in the direction of
sound public policy.

ceiyersnips IL open to great abuses and
In growing in disiayor. Government

one. Judge Boise Of this district set a
wise precedent when hc refused an in

With q bankruptcy law, an assign

cuse 10 place property or business inter
