though I think this can be accom-
plished without much difficulty.
"A plan which has been tried with
considerable success in Massachusetts
may be proposed. This is a system
whereby the city and county CONSOLE
date on such important questions as
water supply, lighting and other fea-
lures without actual consolidation.
This system may appeal to the COM

mind as to endanger health, person or
property, a complaint may be lodged
with a magistrate, who may thereupon
issue a warrant for the arrest of the
person
when apprehended the alleged in
sane person is taken before the judge
of a superior court for a hearing. The
judge summons two medical examiners
and subpoenas witnesses to give such
knowledge as they possess Of the acts,
words or deeds of the person who is
suspected of being insane. The law
also provides that the certificates made
out by the medical examiners shall
contain certain facts. These bertifi-
Gates are made up of series of inter-
rogatories which, if properly answered,
would relate all of the facts required
by law After the hearing, If the medi-
cal examiners conclude that the person
is insane, they report to the judge to
that effect. who commits the person TO
hospital and orders the sheriff to con-
vey the patient to the institution.
Certificates Not Explicit
This is a very brief summary of that
rart of the political code which relates
/ to this subject The law is certainly
explicit and one would suppose that its
requirements could be readily compiled
with by anyone with an average in
telligence and moderate amount of in
dustry.
Experience however, teaches that
that part of the law which relates to
the taking of medical evidence, is either
ignored entirely or else so little regard
paid to it that the certificates are value
less as far as imparting information in
relation to the development and the eX-
hibition of the symptoms of insanity,
although these are the principal facts
! Ia as.ln Att
based. In fact, a large number of the
certificates which are presented to the
hospitals in this state fail to be suf-
ficlently descriptive to even show that
the person committed by them is in
sane"
Female Physicians
Dr. f. w. Hatch led the discussion,
stating that according to the new law
enacted by the legislature. the insane
asylums would soon be we'll supplied
with female physicians which were
much needed.
DR.. Brainerd followed with views
against the arraignment of insane peo-
pie as criminals and treated as such.
DR.. King explained some of the diff
ficulties in obtaining evidence for the
commitment of insane patients with
nothing but unknown" given in many
cases.
DR.. Stone affirmed that many pa
TENTS Were committed 10 the insane
asylum from too hasty actions of the
examining physicians, and yet the con-
ditions of the asylums were generally
good and the public should be better
informed about them.
DR.. Stocking stated that there was
too much of a tendency of railroad
ing" the patients into the hospitals;
that arrests were made ana the ''crim-
inals" are subjected to the handling of
tie sheriffs instead OF being entrusted
to the care of competent nurses or at
tendants that should be supplied from
the hospitals.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson delivered an
instructive address on "The Duty OF
the State to the ConsumptiVe," which

FAVORS BOROUGH SYSTEM IN
FORMING GREATER LOS ANGELES
Oscar Muller, Member of Commission, Outlines
Plan Which, He Says Will Depend on
Voters of Entire District

Fourteen members of the commission
Of fifteen, which will control the
destinies of the movement for a city
and county consolidation of government,
have been named and all the others are
looking to Supervisor Al Graham for
the fifteenth.
The privilege of naming five MEM
bers of the commission was given to the
board of supervisors, as well as five
to the city council and the same num-
Der to the chamber of commerce,
Municipal league and Merchants and
Manufacturers association, the three
civic bodies acting as a unit and select
ing their men by combined vote.
1t was agreed at the meeting held in
the chamber of commerce at the be-
ginning of this year, when the original
committee Of fifteen concluded it's
labors, that all names should be sub
mitted by January IS. This date has
passed and Supervisor Graham still
delays in naming his commissioners.
1t was yesterday suggested by one of
the men who has been appointed on the
permanent commission that as Super
visor Graham has neglected his priv
ilege the fourteen men who have al
ready been named select the fifteenth.
ran hcStS WIN VOterS
When this question of the last MEM
Der of the commission is definitely de-
cided the commission will hold it's first
meeting and then lay plans for the ulti-
mate consolidation Of the city and
county governments.
What these plans will be no member
of the commission is prepared to say
Probably each commissioner has an
idea of his own as to what he would
prefer, but one and all agree that they
will defer to the wishes of the ma
jority.
On one plan only are they all agreed
This is that every city and village and
hamlet I'm the county Of Los Angeles
shall be heard, through its chamber of
commerce, merchants association or
any civic body or committee duly APP
pointed for the purpose and as nearly
as possible the boundaries of the pro-
posed incorporation will be fixed In ac-
cordance with the wishes of a majority
OF the voters OF each municipality.
The system of consolidation will also
depend ON the demands of those who
are to be assimilated, although the pre-
ponderance of sentiment seems to favor
the borough system as il is used I'm the
consolidated governments of New York
city and portions of several counties.

took cognizance of the history of yes
terday and the probabilities of tomor-
row, were less obvious, more complex,
less satisfactory for the moment and
called for humility of spirit and teach
able disposition in the giver
1T meant the steadfast reliquishment
of quick satisfaction, and sometimes a
quick but shallow gratitude for the
philosophical, deferred satisfaction
which comes from the knowledge that
the adequate curative process is known
and applied, and that instead of giving
transitory assistance in maintaining a
life of mendacity one has lifted broth

sistance, out of and above that life"

Unfortunate Mankind

With mutual congratulations the
state charities conference closed its
sessions last night at Simpson audi
Corium.
A thoughtful paper was read by Her
bert w. Lewis of the San Francisco
Associated Charities, who said in part:
such is the compleXity Of life and
such the eXacting demands of charity
that the fruits of the experience Of
each must be made the common prop
erty of all.
1T was a fundamental error of the
past that i'm considering what could and
should be done to ameliorate the hard
conditions of life for our fellowmen we
followed the lines of least resistance
We chose the easiest. quickest, most
comfortable course. We sent the
fingers into the shallowest pocket and
drew forth the most ready coin and
bestowed our dole, and yet in spirit
as veritable priest or levte we
passed by on the other side
1.-The injunctions TO feed the hungry
and clothe the naked We're too literally
construed, and we ga oftentimes' too
much Of our goods and too little of our
selves. We passed the same beggar
day after day for years, placed our coin
in the beseeching palm and went our
way with never a thought as to whether
that person was necessarily dependent
upon our charity. or If so, why, nor
what the condition because of which a
brother should be permitted to cruelty
the humanity within him, destroying
the image of his maker in order that
his hunger might be appeased and his
body clothed
Higher Relief
Upon the birth of a consciousness
that this sort Of charity is always half
malignant because always careless
there was begun struggle after higher
forms OF service. The statements as
truth OF this new consciousness, the
effort to secure for 1t recognition and
adherence has just now won it's way.
1.-The struggle away from the idea OF
the dole Che giving OF the pittance for
nomentary relief and after higher
forms Of service was struggle against
some Of the forces of nature. The dole
was concrete, immediate and satisfying
alike to both giyer and recipient. while

Everything 10 Not Rotten,

Mr.. Charles E. Hughes is right; the
ideals of the present time are high
and clean, and never before have pub
lie men been so quick to respond to
the call Of duty or had so great capac.
ity to legislate wisely. On the other
hand. censure has never been more
extravagant and needless. But it must
be distinguished from the criticism
that is responsible and helpful. Much
chaff is mixed with the grain of sound
opinion, and the dust raised has an at.
feet that confuses standards and clouds
regulations. The man in the street
who does not think for himself, and
takes his views from others in good
faith. is hardly to be blamed IL he be-
lieves that the heart of things is rot
ten and the public is degenerate. Well,
