EMANCIPATION

n OCCIDENTAL college has repudiat-
ed an association of creed with
" education, and has re-established
itself upon broad non-sectarian
educational lines. Various influences
have been at work within the past
few years to bring about the emanci-
patton of higher education from eccles-
iasticism. All education at first was
ecclesiastical; and in the beginning of
modern times various perfervid breth-
rem denounced the public school sys-
tenn as atheistical, heretical and dam
nabe.
The American emancipation of edu-
cation from sectarianism received its
greatest compliment when the United
Kingdom followed suit and its public
schools began to replace it's parochal
and denominational schools.
Great prosperity has attended the
liberation of education from ecclesiasti-
cal dogma. There has been a new era
in thought and enlightenment, and this
emancipation has far more to do with
the progressiveness and inventive in
genuity Of the present age than many
men might be willing to concede.
Which are the most successful and
progressive countries today?
Easily answered: Those that are
least hampered by ecclesiasticism and
sectarianism
Now that higher education is being
separated from ecclesiasticism, another
great step remains to be taken.
HIGHER EDUCATION MUST BE
AS FREE AND AS ACCESSIBLE TO
ALL CLASSES OF THE COMMUN-
ITY AS IS PUBLIC SCHOOL EDU-
CATION.

BUDS LONELINESS
WINS BELLESH|P
Capital Society Halls Girl as Sue
Cessor to Miss EIkins and
Alice Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-With the
coming of December-the month in
which the sovereignty of Washington
society always is decided-there has
appeared in public view the most be-
Wildering and bewitching bunch of
buds that has ever struggled for the
scepter of the younger Set with which
goes the regal title of the "belle of
Washington
OF course the real queenship in the
smart set of the capital is held by the
wife of the president or by her social
representative. But probably the other
title. that sought annually by a vast
array of buds, is the one to which pub
lie interest most generally attaches. To
be belle of Washington means to
have a host of young and handsome
diplomats at ones feet, to have the
army and the navy toasting one al
home and abroad; to have the young
men in Washington who are near-cab-
met. and some day will be cabinet. pro-
posing to one whenever opportunity OF
fers; to have statesmen and diplomats
and department chiefs and clerks and
some of somebodies,' who are nobodies,
pestering one with attentions and final
ly to be the most envied of mortals by
ones dear sisters, the other buds-such
is the Joy of life when one is the belle
of Washington.
In many years gone by there mas
been a bitter rivalry for the bellesh1p
in the capital, and in other years the
title has been undisDuted from the
first. Katherine Elkins. for instance,
was an undisputed leader, and so was
Alice Roosevelt. Then there was the
beautiful and mysterious Countess cas-
SIM, niece of the Russian ambassador,
whose pretty slipper was reputed TO
have kicked many a stout American
heart And then there was Miss Ma
thilda Townsend, who held her place
by virtue of her fowerlike beauty This
year it is predicted the same cause Will
have the same effect and Miss Adelaide
Culp, reputed the prettiest debutante
of years in Washington, is expected to
be belle of washington. Miss Culp is
lust 10, and has the radiant color of
youth She has the vivacity of Alice
Roosevelt and the beauty of Catherine
EIkins combined. Besides, she is the
daughter of ]. M. Culp. vice president
of the Southern railway, and one of
the wealthy men of the capital. There
may be some bud in the background
who will yet come forward to vie with
Miss Culp for popularity, but all the
indications of the early social season
of washington point to Miss Adelaide
being the reigning belle of the social
season. Only the other day Mrs. Tart
motored with Miss Culp at Beverly and
described her young guest as quite the
nrettiest girl who is coming out this
wear" When this is said by the presi-
dents wife it practically clinches things
in washington, so people already are
hailing Miss Culp as the seasons belle.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS PLAN
GREAT HARMONY MEETING
All Party Men to Be Welcomed at
Baltimore Celebration

BALTIMORE, Nov. 26.-The move
ment to bring to Baltimore the repre-
sentative Democrats of the country,
in and out of congress, in a gathering
that will present an opportunity to re-
joice over the recent Democratic vic
tory, and to interchange views as to
the future, was placed on definite
foundation today.
The committee in charge, headed by
Governor Crothers, after conference
with Norman e. Mack, chairman OF
the national committee, and Champ
Clark of Missouri. adopted the form
of an invitation to be sent to leading
Democrats in all states.
Upon the advice of Mr.. Mack and
Mr.. Clark. the conference idea orig
inally considered was dropped, and it
was determined to make the occasion
a national Jackson day celebration Of
Democratic achievements.
1t is understood there are to be no
resolutions adopted and no person
doomed for the presidency nor for any
other office.
1t is proposed to send invitations to
every Democratic member of the pres
ent congress and the next congress;
to invite every conspicuous leader of
the party in the country, regardless of
differences of the past and to extend
a welcome generally to Democrats who
desire to keep alive the triumphant
spirit Of the national Democracy.

HOME FOR FEEBLE
MINDED PLANNED
State Institution for ImbeCileS to
Be Urged for Southern
California

Seventy persons, headed by Judge
Curtis D. Wilbur of the superior court,
all of whom are interested in the care
and cure of imbeciles and epileptics,
met last night at the home of Mrs. w.
A. James, 521 Shatto place, and dis
cussed plans for the establishing of a
state institution for such persons in
Southern Californa.
1t is the intention to ask the state
legislature to make an appropriation
sufficient to defray the cost and main
tenance of such an institution, the
exact amount required not having been
more than estimated. 1t is planned
that the home shall be under the gem
eral direction of the state lunacy COM
mission and that 1t shall be conducted
in much the same manner as is the
only institution of the kind in the
state-the one at Eldredge, in Sonoma
county, where the cottage system pre-
walls.
Imbeciles and epileptics-and among
the latter there are two kinds. known
as those who are feebleminded and
those who are only temporarily af-
f1icted in that manner and who are
not insane-are to receive especial at
tention. 1t also is desired that the
state laws be amended so that harm
less insane may be committed to state
institutions, specialists in such mat
ters having found that plan to be more
successful than when cared for else
where, as a general rule. A committee
for the drafting of the proposed statute
amendment will be appointed.
PLAN HOSPITAL ANNEX
Another plan of the persons in
terested in the movement is the CO.
operation of the board of supervisors
of Los Angeles county. by constructing
a detention hospital to work in con-
junction with the county hospital and
to be erected upon the grounds given
over to that institution. That pro-
posed detention ward would be given
over largely to the use of the persons
awaiting arraignment and trial on in
sanity charges. They would be given
treatment according to their needs and
possibly, as often is the case with per-
sons suddenly afflicted with an acute
mania, their minds might be cleared
before they would be committed to
some insane asylum.
Among the persons at the meeting
held last night besides the hostess and
Judge Wilbur, who presided, were such
nerve specialists as DR.. H. G. Brainerd,
DR.. Ross Moore, superintendent c. II.
Whitman Of the county hospital, DR..
James r. Fisher, DR.. G. L. Allen and
DIR. L. j. Orbison of Pasadena, in ad-
