 chance of occurrence. has ever been undertaken in this country.
 With the thought in mind that the solution of so baffiing a problem could only be brought about by placing the whole matter in the hands of rep resentative national committee months ago. I began to enlist the support of some of the ablest men in this coun- try. So many acceptances of honor Rry membership have already been received that 1 may state with cer- tainty that the personnel of the com mttee will be publicly announced within fortnight. l am willing to mention the names of a few who have agreed to serve as honorary memberships as a guarantee of the excellence of the committee itself For instance. there's Professor James of Harvard university, whose support was of course a foregone conclusion he having proved his interest in the cause when he wrote the letters which appear in the introduction to my book. Professor James has been a most loyal supporter, as also has Dr. Adolf Meyer. director of the Pathol- ogical institute of the New York state hospitals. Some of the other mem- bers of the committee are: Dr. WI liam Fl. Welch, Johns Hopkins un1- versity; Prof. Russell II. Chittenden, director of the Sheffield Scientific school: Dr. Henry van Dyke, Prince ton university; Dr. Henry B. Favill, Chicago: Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., secretary of Yale university; Judge Robert w. Taylor, or the United States Circuit court. Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Jane Adams and Miss Julia c. J.athrop. of Hull House, Chicago; President David Starr Jordan. Leland Stanford, jr., university; President Jacob Gould Schurman. Cornell uni yersity: Dr. Frederick Peterson. Co., lumbia university, and Clifford Pin chot, Washington, D. C.
 The committee when complete should number not more than fifty members, representing all sections of the country A majority of those whose support has been enlisted will serve as honorary members and stand as sponsors. A small board of active trustees and proper officers will do the actual work and keep things moving in the right direction.
 State Organizations.
 Tt might be well to state emphat- ically that the national committee for mental hygiene will have no direct control over state institutions or over the state societies for mental hygiene which will inevitably come Into ex- istence as soon as the public appre- ciates the good they may do. It will remain for each state to clean house for itself and pay the cost Outside Interference, further perhaps than the iiiaugurating of a movement to bring q, state society into existence, would not. and very properly should not be tolerated by any intelligent commun- ity."

should be borne in mind that the method of reform advocated by the projected national committee is to be a cooperative reform-one in which the hospital officials. the members of the medical profession outside the in- stitutions and representative citizens should join hands for the good of all. Such a method of procedure will prove to be a startling but de- lightful shock to hospital officials who. in the past, have been unwisely by so-called investigators when they should have been given a fair opportunity to calmly present their needs to the public, with a view to securing its support in their fight for adequate appropriations. It is trite to observe, that if the public will do it's part, legislators will abandon the cheese pairing policy which for generations past. in every state in the union, has worked a cruel injus- tice to the inmates of our institu- tions and to their relatives and friends. The public. instead of fo- cusing its attention on abuses which are of necessity spectacular, should see to it that the standard of treat ment is raised, to a high plane. Au- thorities with whin I have discussed this question agree that the desired result may be best brought about the agency of state societies for mental hygiene, organized for the sole purpose of improving and pro- tecting the mental health of those in possession of their liberty, and. at the same time, guarding the rights of those. confined as incompetents in our hospitals and asylums."
 Hospital Authorities Willing.
 How do you know that hospital officials will cooperate and help along your cause?" MT. Beers was asked.
 AS the members of medical staff of the state hospital, the institution which figures so conspicuously in my story" he said. stand ready to join in the planned work of the projected Connecticut Society for Mental Fly giene, which society will be organized soon after the national committee IS founded, 1t seems safe to assume that hospital officials throughout the country will at least do as much in their respective states as these oftic- ials have willingly-and l may say generously-offered to do in Connec- ticut
 If the men who figure so promin- ently, though unnamed in my story can disregard the unpleasantness of my revelations and magnanimously assist me in my work, as they have done and are doing, surely, men en- gagged in the same. work in all states iIl the union will do what they can to further the interests of the cause.

sCOTTs BLUFF. Neb, May 14-(spe-
eial.)-Considerable local excitement has
been developed in scotts Bluff county by
the announcement Of the new issue of
Union Pacific bonds and Mr.. Harrimans
statement that part Of the issue would be
for the construction OF new lines. 1t is re-
garded as certain that the Union Pacific
will now go ahead and complete the cutoff
from O'Fallon, Neb., to Medicine Bow,
Wyo., running through the North Platte
valley, by which its main line will be short
ened some forty miles between OMAN and
ogden. Field Engineer Wanzer put in an
appearance in the valley last week. and
this week Vice President Mohler and Gen.
eral Superintendent Park were in a party
Of officials who inspected the proposed
new route. Numerous surveys have pre-
viously been made along the North Platte
river.
II has alsq been supposed that as soon as
the Union Pacific should begin operations
on Its North Platte valley line the Bur
lington would be reused to activity in the
matter of building its new line from Kear-
ney to Bridgeport and the connecting link
between Guernsey. wyo., and worland,
wyo., thus making its present line along
the North Platte river a second main line
between Omaha and Billings, Mont, and
thence to the coast.

ident Willard Of the Burlington, travelling
in a special train on their annual tour of
