EARLY TREATMENT OF INSANE
Urged by Dr.. A. w. Ferris Before
Charities Conference

ST. Louis. May 2o-Early treatment of
the insane was urged as of utmost impor-
lance by DR.. Albert Warren Ferris, pTesf-
dent Of the New York State Commission in
Lunacy, before the National Conference OF
Charities and Correction here to-day. DIR.
Ferris said. in part:
The earliest is often the most important
and successful treatment Of the insane.
The percentage of recoveries and of deaths
shows that great danger is attached 10 &C.
lay. whereby insane patients are denied
proper care Immediately upon the outbreak
OF insanity. Towns and counties must take
the first steps in caring for the insane. ex-
cept in large metropolitan districts. In The
latter the state board should manage spe-'
cific wards of psycopathic hospitals which
are very necessary. Towns and counties
should provide suitable places for detention
and observation adjuucts of hospitals"

State Charities Aid Association of New
York City. was mentioned to-day for the
presidency, to succeed Miss Jane Adams.

ACTION NEEDED.

The fact that majority of the Repub-
icans in both houses voted in favor of
the Hinman-Green bill. and that it was
defeated only by the union Of minority
of the Republicans with the Democrats,
clearly indicates the existence of Re
publican demand for substantial re
form in the nominating system which
party leaders should strive 10 meet. The
Hinmap-Green bill encountered opposi-
ton from many vino sympathized with
the Governors aims. because they felt
that ii attempted TO accomplish too
much at once. The proposal of Messrs.
Low. Choate and their associates that
the essential features Of il be tried in
the smaller civil divisions of the state
suggests basis of compromise which,
though it would not give an adequate
trial to the Governors plan, would in
measure meet the popular demand and
enable the Republican party TO go be-
fore the people with the record Of having
responded 10 reform sentiment and adj
vanced as far in the initiation of direct
primaries as many men Of undoubted dis
intefestedness and wisdom have thought
advisable.
The Cobb bill, if modified in some i'm
portant particulars, might at the present
juncture be acceptable. IT should. we
think, be amended by making it take
effect Immediately and by the elimina-
ton of the fractional column ballot, which
is worse than useless as an encourage
% nd ho IN.
stitution of the voting method of the
Human Green bill. Then the provisions
fixing the number of state committee
men, or otherwise regulating the organi-
cation OF the party outside the field
within which the direct nomination
method is tried, should be abandoned.
If we are TO have direct nominations at
all. the experiment should be made on
right lines so far as it is made. uncom-
plicsted by interference with other
spheres of party activity. Nothing can
be gained, and much may be lost. by at
tempting TO regulate. under cover of
direct nominations. state committees or
other committees having nothing to do
with direct nominations.
An honest application of the plan of
direct nominations in counties and in
Assembly. Senate and Congress districts
at once, with provision for the selection
by petition of the committees concerned
with those nominations and those nomi-
nations only, while not giving the most
favorab bic trial TO the system. would be Il
step in advance defensible before the
people as a sincere attempt at compro-
mise between the views of the Governor
and the less radical views of leaders like
Mr.. Choate and Mr.. Low. The Legislat-
ure should not adjourn without having
accomplished at least so much.

SIZE OF WoMEN's HATS
Mere Man Pleads for Relief in Name
of Masculine Churchgoers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Shall the women be asked to remove
their hats i'm church, or will they adopt
hats that need not be removed in church,
That is the question. We men have heard
all our lives long about womens rights,
and that was WELL for there was much to
be rfghted. But what about mems rights?
Turn about is fair play, and there certainly
is one right belonging to men which the
women have openly set at dehance-the
right to worship in church without having
vision aud hearing shut off by the length
and depth and breadth and height or
womens hats.
This vexation we have long and patiently
borne, and we respectfully ask the women
for the sake of blessed charity to stop It,
This can be done either by having their
heads bare during divine service. as the
heads of the men, or by the substitution
of a toque, compactly trimmed, or Marie
Stuart bonnet, or any other appropriate
style that art can devise, for the insult
able and out of place hats now worn In
church.
This latter plan is preferable for two
reasons. In the first place tradition and
custom require that in Roman Catholic and
Episcopalian places of worship woman
snail not appear WITHOUT SOIhe CoNeiiiS
on her head during divine service, even
IL the covering be only a veil. as In Rome;
and in the second place the conditions that
prevail in q church are different from those
that prevail in a theatre where women are
now Obliged to remove their hats. In the
playhouse a woman sits during the whole
performance and can rest her hat securely
on her lap until she is ready to resume
1t, but at church she sometimes sits, some
times kneels and sometimes stands, and
during these various movements it would
be difficult to keep a hat from being
crushed.
Small and appropriate hats for church
wear can be az bewitchingly pretty as large
ones, and the designer who shall meet the
situation and invent suitable designs will
be a benefactor to a long suffering COM
munity. HENRY MURRAY CALVERT.

REIGN AND ADMINISTRATION.

The contrast between the British and
American political systems, or at any
rate between their practical applications,
is shown in nothing more instructively
than in the circumstances Of the be-
ginning of new reign as contrasted
with the beginning Of a new adnlinistra-
tion at Washington. The latter is usu-
ally the signal for increased intensity
Of partisan and factional activity. There
Is much changing of the occupants OF
Offices and putting forward Of new poll
cies. AT the accession of a new SOW
ereign. on the contrary. partisanship
is put in allegiance and factionalism
is banished- There are no changes in
Office. save in the royal household, and
there is q stndious Withholding rather
than proposing of new schemes Of state
craft. The new sovereign is treated with
consideration, and there is scrupulous
avoidance Of any action which might
embarrass him.
The two chief reasons for this con-
frsst are obvious. One Is the fact that
q monarcbical reign, unlike the usual
Presidential administration, is ended by
death. The sense Of national bereave-
Dienr, therefore, puts factionai animosl-
ties in allegiance, and sympathy with
the new monarch who ascenis the
throne bearing, burden OF personal
sorrow restrains political activities
which might cause him embarrassment
and enhance his grief. The other reason
IS that the sovereign does not CORE
spoDd with our President In functions
and status SO much as does the Prime
Minister. The change of reigns is there
fore not to be compared with the
change Of administrations so closely as
Is the change Of ministry attendant
upon a general election which reYerses
the political majority Of the House nf

BLESSED rs THE PEAcEMAKER.


Blessed is the peacemaker. Deputy
Police Commissioner Bugher, described
by his chief as understood mentally and
elbowed out of his room at Police Head
quarters, finally perceived in a deter
minxtion to reiegate him to Brooklyn
and reduce him in rank disposition to
hupiliate him, and was about TO resent
it. He forbears. Commissioner Baker,
who as head of the department has au-
thority to stick bent pin in the chair
of any subordinate whom he disapprores
or regards as incompetent. has removed
the pin from his first deputys chair.
He withdraws, presumably, any COM
'parison he may have made between the
head of the pin anG the head of his first
deputy derogat0ry to the head of the
pin. The two have shaken hands and
made up Their relations, the Commits
sioner promises, will be "amicable." The
newly made friends cannot dispense with
each others society. so the first deputy
will not go TO Brooklyn. Blessed is the
peacemaker.
There is peace at Police Headquarters.
What is lacking there. will not in the
future be so frequently brought to pub
lie attention as hitherto.

WAS IT THE zoDIAcAL LIGHT

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In this mornings issue of The
Tribune your column Of information re-
garding "Hsney's comet" contains the
statement that "at 3 o'clock this morning
the eastern sky above the murkiness of the
lower level was brilliantly Illuminated by
a great arc-shaped streamer of light that
stretched about 10 degrees above the hori-
zon from north to south, covering the
whole horizon. The phenomenon
was clearly defined in its limits, much as
a searchlight on a cloudy night, but the
streamer of light was far too great in
volume to be searchlight."
When scientists disagree a mere tyro
hesitates to make q suggestion as to q pos
sible explanation of that "arc-shaped
light" but the account of a wonderful phe-
nomenon, seen from the top of a high HILL
commanding the long, low. eastern horizon
of New Milford Conn, about six years
ago may be of interest, If not of value. in
connection with the extraordinary effect as
seen from the roof of the Tribune Building
this morning.
Is it not possible that 1.-THE streamer of
light" was the ''zodiacal light"2 We are
told by the late DR. Olmstead that this light
appears Gin our climate latitude IL de-
grees IS minutes) about the first of October,

in a very clear atmosphere, from the hilltop
at New Milford, Conn, saw the zodiacal
light. It's base spread along a considerable
distance on the horizon. like phantom
light. streaming up obliquely, almost later
ally" in aortherly direction.
The light might be described. In the
words of your statement, as clearly de-
fined In its limits. much as a searchlight on
q cloudy night" The "sUeanler of light"
was very great" and its shape was that
OF an enormous, elongated conoid. The
fact that the apparition was the ''zodiacal
light" was substantiated by reference to
published illustrations in works on as
tronomy. As the "zodacal light moves
through the heavens in the order of the
signs of the zodiac, il may be that this
mornings appearance was that unex-
planned phenomenon.
