HYPNOTISN AND LEGISLATION.

We have long been familiar with legislators
who were bribed. likewise with legislators VINO
were bossed, but it seems there is a new hlnu
of legislator who is unfamiliar-uness. inoeeo'
he is an old kind under new name he Is the
legislator who is ''hypnotized." Senator brach-
EFT declares that some Of his colleagues VINO
are members of the committees on haliroaos'
Insurance and Banks are 'hypnohzed by the
corpora tons and thus accounts for their deep
devotion to the grab bills.
This is highly interesting suggestion, ana
should cause scientific investigation. Ii hypno-
tism has become factor in legislation 1t is I'M
portant that the public should know it and pre-
pare to conduct its government with due recog-
milton of the psychologist or supernatural forces
which will then complicate all political prob
lens. Likewise it may be necessary to devise
new laws TO protect legislators from suggestions
from unauthorized sources of a character
contrary to public policy. If our lawmakers
may be made by hypnOtism the innocent tools
perhaps of foreign enemies, our liberties may
be destroyed. With hypnotism in politics un-
regulated the people have safeguard. Against
bribery and bossism they protect them
selves, if they will, by choosing only repre-
sentatives of high character and independence.
But if their representatives are subject to mys-
terious attacks, and made against their own VIII
to act out the will of others, there can be no
safety but in recognizing hypnotism and send
ing to the legislature only men Of proved un-
susceptibility to hypnotic and mesmeric int1u-
ence.
AS first step in dealing with the situation Ii
is obviously necessary to know how the hypno-
tism which Senator Bracket discerns is brought
about Inquiry should be made about tnls-
One method of hypnotism is to induce the SUD-
ject to fix his eyes steadily upon some bright
object. SUCH for instance, as a twenty-dollar
gold piece. If by any chance some of our law
makers should innocently be led to concentrate
their attention on piece of gold or even
crisp thousand dollar bill held steadily aloft IN
the hand of the hypnotist, it is possible that
drowsiness might overcome them and that they
might soon be going through the motions or
lawmaking at the mental suggestion Of the
professor who absent from the chamber
and could be proved to have no mundane COM
munication whatever with his subjects. we
wonder what the method actually followed may
be- The Society for Psychcal Research should
take up the matter and report

FOREST POLICY.

The bill TO create a forest commission which
has been introduced by Senator Malby is a
response TO the suggestion made by Governor
OdeIl in his last annual message. In referring
to the fact that the practice Of making annual
additions to the Forest Preserve had been in
termitted for a couple of years. the Governor
expressed the opinion that accurate knowledge
on which TO base definite policy in respect TO
the protection Of the water supply by the acqui-
sition OF forest land or otherwise was lacking.
The States holdings were already sufficient, he
believed. provided that private owners could be
relied on 20 exercise suitable care and Judgment
in the management of their forest property He
had recommended in a previous message the
propriety Of the States assuming all taxes
within the Adirondack Park on consideration of
an agreement by owners OF private land to en-
p1oy scientific methods Of forestry. and had re-
ceiTed many favorable responses to that pro-
posal- But the dangers resulting from changes
Of ownership would remain. and it appeared
necessary 10 consider in what way future pur-
chases could be most wisely made. Should the
policy Of buying small tracts from year to year
at increasing prices be resumed: Or would it
be better 10 buy what was needed outright: In
the former an annual appropriation from
the proceeds of taxation would pay the account
In the latter case a bond issue would be re-
quired. Feeling that a choice between these
alternatives ought not 10 be made without fur
ther consideration. the Governor advised the ap-
pointnent of a commission TO investigate the
subject and for such commission Senator
Malby's bin provides
4 few DAYS ago we called attention 10 Assem-
blyman Bostwick's bill appropriating $4,000
for extensions of the Forest Preserve-S100,O00
70 be used in the Adirondacks and 100000 in
the Catskills-and urged its passage on the
ground that the Republican as we'll the Dem
ocratic platform of last fall promised a resump-
non Of the purchase policy. which public opin-
ion supported and the welfare of the State re-
auired We should be glad TO think we were
mistaken in assuming that II would prove prac-
ficalIy impossible TO put through such an ap-
preparation bill ar this session, but Senator
Malby's commission bin is probably TO be re-
garded as settling the question. If so. hope
full purpose in any case, and if there is to be
no appropriation this year an inquiry on the
lines suggested by the Governor is certainly
preferabe 10 continued neglect of the subject.
In general, we are not in favor Of new commits

mate work Of the regularly constituted State

Everything pointed to a good day for
the premier event Of the western race

Among the betting men II was
agreed that the race lies between the
two millionaire racing firms of John A.
Drake OF Chicago and Harry Payne
Whitney and Herman Duryaea of New

In the Drake collection. while Irish
Lad. winner of the Brooklyn handi-

There are several other candidates.
however, such as High Chancellor and
Flocarlinc. that are believed to have
a good hook in for first money and a
dark horse may come under the wire,
as has happened more than once be-
fore in the famous race.
Twenty-three horses are entered on
the list for the American derby today.
Some will be scratched but which ones
will not be known till forty.flve min
