CRITIC OF LUNACY LAW
DR.. White Advocates Adoption
of OIcott Bill.
SAYS REFORM is NEEDED
No Deprivation Of Rights Under
Proposed Legislation.
EXPERT ANSWERS DIRECTORS
Cites Recent Legislation in Many
States Which Permits Incarcera-
tion Without Judiciary Process.
EXPERT ANSWERS OBJECTOR'

A committee OF four citizens Of the
state of South Carolina, appointed by the
legislature to consider all matters per-
tanning to the care and treatment of the
insane of that state, recently visited the
Government Hospital for the Insane. This
committee, with view to improving con-
ditions in South Carolina, is making an
exhaustive inquiry and investigation. The
physician inspected all the departments
of st. Elizabeth.
Tho hospital also received visits at the
same time from medical men connected
with state hospitals In New York and
Illinois.
DR.. William A. White, superintendent
OF st. Elizabeth, notes that while persons
from other jurisdictions often speak with
favor concerning various methods In use
at the Washington institution. they In
variably call attention to the fact that
the lunacy laws Of their own Jurisdictions
are more humane regarding commitment
Of the insane than are the laws Of the
District Of Columbia. Efforts have been
made at various times by the Medical
Association Of Washington and others in
terested to obtain a revision OF the laws
under which the insane are committed In
this jurisdiction. DR.. White has been
active to bring about a change tn the
laws.
Views Of DR.. White.
THE fundamental principles Of the Oh
colt bill to revise the lunacy proceedings
in the District OF Columbia" said DR..
White. do not take away from the al
legged lunatic any of his legal rights. They
only provide that commitment shall be
had as a result OF the examination Of two
physicians without hearing in open
court, unless the alleged lunatio or some
friend or relative on his behalf requests
such hearing.
THE rights OF the alleged lunatfc are
so well protected that not only must the
court grant hearing upon his request.
or upon the request OF any one In his be-
half but II commitment Is actually had
without such a hearing. the alleged luna
tic can appeal within q reasonable period,
and again the court is forced to grant q
hearing.
Surely no one IN the possession Of his
mental faculties could be committed under
such a law without having had ample op-
portunities to present his case to the
court. AS surely, any case whose mental
faculties were so befogged as to make
his application for a hearing impossible
would be so Ill as to require the treat
ment Of hospital, and there could hardly
arise any question regarding his mental
condition.

THE agitation for legislation similar to
tina. proposed in the Olcott bill-or. in
deed, for more drastic changes-will un-
doubtedly be more vigorous at the next
session of Congress In the light Of the
recent legislation in many of our states.

lunacy law In this jurisdiction"

HAS ALASKA" WHEAT
Palouse Country Improvement Com
pany has 900 Acres of
Noted Variety

Alaska wheat, which created so
much interest and excitement last
fall when Abram Adams, of Juliaetta
advertised it as a wonderful new dis
covery and sold an immense amount
OF the grain at $50 per bushel for
seed, is growing on two farms near
Pullman. Mr.. Adams has 300 acres
of this variety of wheat growing on
the Palouse Country Improvement
Companys 500 acre ranch, formerly
known as the "Burrel Ranch No
1903" on Union fiat, near Ewarts-
Vile grange hall.
The wheat looks fine and promis-
es good YIELD said f. NJ. Slagle,
manager of the company's business.
4 believe it looks as we'll as the
average of winter wheat in that sec
ton. 1t stood the winter and is thick
enough for a good yield and looks
thrifty. | know little about the
wheat, but comparing it with other
wheat ! think it compares favor
ably"
Mr.. Adams also has a lot of this
variety of wheat on the II. Folgar
farm, four miles southwest of town.
This wheat. next to the road, does
not look quite SO well as that on
the Union fiat ranch, but is fairly
good. Much interest is taken in the
outcome of this grain owing to the
over it's value as a mill
ing wheat, which created so much
discussion last fall.
