CUT OUT OFFICES
Mexican Congress Will Abolish
Three Old Departments.
Plan Jury Trial Before Sending
Suspect to Prison.

Mexico City. Nov. 2o.-Before de-
parting for Queretaro, where the con-
stituent congress is to convene today
several deputies outlined the reforms
to be effected in the Mexican constitu-
ton.
In addition to abolition of the vice
presidency, which is regarded as the
main cause of many revolutions that
have disturbed the country, there will
be abolished also the departments of
Justice and public instruction, as they
are considered useless and contrary
to the spirit OF democratic principles.
All matters relating to the depart
ment of justice are to be administered
by the supreme court and to the ma
tional university will be intrrsted pub
lie instruction.
The organization of the supreme
court would be subjected to changes,
the judges being elected by congress
and not by popular vote, as hereto
fore. The supreme court will have
absolute freedom. Under the new
plan, no person is to be imprisoned
until he has been declared guilty by
a jury.
With suppression of the depart
ments of justice and public instruc-
ton, the cabinet will be composed of
only the following portfolios:
Foreign relations, interior COM
munications. fomento. finance. war
and navy.

ORGANIZE CHARITY
Success Obtained in No Other
Way, Says Yates.
TOpekan Addresses Charity Of
ficers of Pittsburg Today.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov 20.-R. L.
Yates. police judge in the city OF To-
peka. urged the principle of organized
charities in an address made mere To-
day before representatives OF the Vari-
Gus charitable organizations Judge
Yates is also secretary OF the ProVl-
dent association, one of the most ef-
ficient of Topeka's charity organiza-
tions. He told of the Topeka Plan
and explained the absolute necessity
of organization in charity work II the
work is to be efficient
Organization in charity" he said,
'is as essential to success as 1t is in
politics, business labor or religion. Eff
ficiency the prevention of waste, can
be accomplished in no other way.
''It is unfortunate. but nevertheless
true, that the number of unworthy ap-
plicants exceed the worthy Investiga-
ton is necessary not primarily to de-
tect fraud, but to see what is needed.
The physician diagnoses his case be-
fore prescribing and the social worker
must know the facts of case before
intelligent action can be taken in re-
gard to it.
'If a man is worth helping. he
would rather have a job than charity.
Organized charity is the only general
means of providing help that will real
a job he is not helped towards getting
one because you give him a dollar on
the street-in all proba ability-but
hindered. If you pay man to work
he will work, if you pay him to beg he
will beg.
Organized Plan Prevents Fraud.
"This organized system of handling
the charity of the community should
appeal with peculiar force to the bust
ness men. 1t prevents the fostering
of fraud as q habit, increasing the
city's problem by increasing human
weakness. and giving aims when the
same money would make men strong
enough to work or find them work
to do.
These are some of the few reasons
for organized charity and the justifica-
ton for the overhead expense con-
nected with it. More important by
far than the mere money spent upon
the needy is the service rendered by
the social worker in helping the poor
to help themselves. man would
rather by far have a chance than
charity. Indiscriminate giving is
worse than useless it is positively
harmful. 1t weakens those who re-
ceive it and in SO doing increases the
problem of the community.
From the experience 1 have had
in this field, I feel safe in saying and
1 believe that 1 would be supported in
the position by any experienced social
worker, that it is better to put one
family permanently beyond the need
of charity than to tide twenty over
into next weeks misery"
