Dr.. D. P. Kicking to Outline

Following a study to be made by DR..
D. Percy Hickling. in charge of the
Washington Asylum Hospital. of the
various bills that have been introduced
to provide for the establishment in Wash
ington of an inebriate asylum. the Com
missioners of the District may prepare
for introduction in Congress a compre
hensive measure for the founding of an
institution of this character.
DR.. HlCkling. E. III. Droop. pres dent of
the Board of Trade. and Commissioners
Rudolph. Johnston and Harding consider
ed the need of an inebriate asylum here t
conference this morning in Commissioner
Rudolph's office. 1t was stated by DIR.
Hickling that the grounds of the Munich
pal Hospital. between 18th street and
Georgia avenue and north of Epshur
street northwest, would be satisfactory
site for the locating of the proposed
asylum.
The commissioners. on motion of Gen.
Johnston. requested DR.. Hickling to study
the details of the various bills that have
Deen introduced dealing with this sub
Ject and report to them what features.
II any, should be eliminated and what
new provisions should be incorporated in
new bill in the event the District heads
make recommendation to Congress.
District Heads Interested.
1t is not likely that the Commissioners
will present the matter at the present
session. but the discussion at today's con-
ference clearly demonstrated that each
of the District heads is deeply interested
in the proposal Personal experiences
that they have had with men who might
have been permanently cured of the drink
habit had there been available a proper
institution where they could have received
treatment were related by the Commits
sioners and President Droop Dr. Hick-
ling stated that alcoholism is a disease
and requires treatment as such.
He urged that an inebriate asylum
should have provision for the commit
ment of persons whose minds have be-
come SO impaired by alcoholic abuses that
they no longer are able to manage their
own affairs.
Although alcoholic patients are now
given treatment at the Washington Asy-
lum Hospital, they are DISCHARGED as
soon as they have recovered from the
effects Of sprees. DR.. Hickling stated that
he believes patients Of this type should
be sent to the proposed inebriate asylum
for indefinite terms and kept there until
permanently cured.

straint of trader There is probabl not
a man actively employed in American life
along large lines who has not given much
thought to this problem. DR. Low will.
it is understood, lay before the Civic
federation some considerations which have
occurred to him while studying this feat
ure of the general problem. He regards
it as certain that the American people
viii not tolerate destructive competition
Nobody defends that kind of competition.
But is competition which the combination
of great capital, great ability and highly
skilled labor makes possible and which
secures efficiency. economy of production
and systematic and wise salesmanship a.
kind Of competition which the American
people will not tolerate? Colonel Roose-
welt, who has always had a strong at
miratlon for the Civic federation is one
of those who believes that honorable com
petition, represented by economy in the
cost of production, efficiency, high stand
ard of wages whereby market prices of
commodities can be fixed at a competi-
tive basis Is method of business great
ly to be desired but that it should be so
regulated by the public as to prevent
any evil coming from it.
Dr. Low will probably place before the
Civic federation the result of his own in
vestigatons upon this particular phase of
and by members of the Civic federation
who live elsewhere, as quite as important
problems as any now before the Ameri-
can people. They relate to the Sherman
antitrust law. There are some minor
questions which the Civic federation Will
consider as, for instance: Is it wise to
permit a manufactures to fix the price at
which the retailer may sell to the ultimate
consumer? There are strong arguments
for and against this proposition. Is 1t
economic and wise, as well as fair to fix
prices or to limit output of commodities
produced by farmers through corporation
or some other form of organization? Does
a just Interpretation of the Sherman law
permit such practices?
1t is believed by members of the Civic
federation that only by agitation, con-
slant study and by teaching such lessons
to the American people as will enable
them to have good understanding of this
question can we at last secure under law
the adoption of intelligent, just, economic
and entirely fair national business meth
