CAN COOLIDGE POSSIBLY KNOW
THIS2

The New York Evening Post, owned by Cyrus II.
X Curtis (who-aso the Saturday Evening
Post and the Ladies' Home JournaD, has been con-
sistently friendly to the Coolidge administration.
Yet this week the New York Evening Post has pub
lished information that seems to make 1t impossible
for Coolidge to carry his strange policy toward
Mexico any further
The information is contained in dispatch from
Mexico City by George Barr Baker, for a long time
an associate of Herbert Hoover and a man pos
sessing the confidence of most persons In public life
This dispatch tells:
That oil lands in Mexico on which rights we're
acquired before May 1, 1917. totaed 2S50OOoO acres
These are the only oil lands about which there is
any dispute.
That 666 foreign oil companies hold these rights
and that all but twenty-five of these have obeyed
the Mexican law by applying for conformatory con.
cessions.
That the twenty-five companies claim rights on
about 100000 acres less than per cent of the total
That of the 100000 acres 100000 acres-almost
half-are owned by a company in which Edward L.
Doheny has large interest.
Yesterday the New York World added to this
information the statement that the Harry f. Sinclair
oil interests joined with the Doheny interests in
their opposition to the Mexican law. But to make
the case clear, this is not necessary,
The fight with Mexico-the fight being made by
Coolidge and Kellogg-is oil titles Five per
cent of the titles is all that is in dispute and half
OF that per cent belongs to the Doheny interests
Doheny has been held by the United States Cir
cult Court of appeals to have obtained title to vastly
valuable oil lands in this country by fraud and con
spiracy.' (The Elk Hills case, the case that grew
out of Doheny's loan of 100000 to Albert B. FALL
then United States Secretary of the Interior)
If Doheny has just claims against the Mexican
government, he no doubt is entitled to the same pro-
lection any American citizen
But the American people will not countenance
any further quarreling by our Government with
Mexico until it be shown that the Doheny inter-
osts do have just claims And in the light of the
fraud and corruption" used by the Doheny interests
to get possession of the United States Nays oil re-
serve lands, that is going to require good deal of
showing!

CARE OF INSANE

While the theory of spending money in accordance
with budget compiled by a special committee is un-
doubedly correct, it must be remembered that bud
get committees for the State not infailible
The protest of those in charge of the insane
asylums Of the State that they have been given too
little money is unequestionably founded knowl-
edge of the needs of these institutions.
IN the care of the insane, this State has no
enviable record and the tragedies which can be
traced to lack of money not to lack of ability are
appalling
The State undertakes to for those who are
mentally ill., but there is not county in the State
which does not on occasion, house these dependents
in jails.
The asylums are overcrowded and the appeals
for admission are from time to time answered with
the statement that there is no room for more
In northern county recently, two insane per-
sons died in Jail cells. There in that same
Jail at one time, six human beings, without the spe-
cial care and attendance necessary, adjudged in
'sane by courts and assigned to asylums.
Undoubtedly the same condition is duplicated in
other counties and jals often substituted for the
modern hospital.
Science has made great advances in the past
few years in the treatment of mental disease.
1t is not so long ago, scarcely century in fact,
dnce those unfortunaes whose mental balance was
destroyed were looked upon as possessed OF evil
spirits summed and avoided. They were locked
in kennels and thrown bits of food with death the
only cure.
Science has shown that it is possible to restore
a very large percentage of those who are mentally
afflicted. 1t is also fact that the number of such
cases increase with the compexity Of living and the
new conditions of life. Today is a driving day. re-
curing nervous energy and the thinking mechanism
snaps easily.
Failure to provide proper hospital facilities and
the proper medical attention is in reality of the same
piece of brutality that existed when the insane were
treated as animals devils
There is no tragedy that is quite as keen for
relatives as that of the of one mentally ILL.,
There is no tragedy greater for human being than
to lose the power to think in normal lines They live
in strange world world of their own distorted
maginations.
The heads of these State hospitals say that the
budget committee has been shortsighted and per-
haps miserly in its attitude.
There is always the tendency to make claims for
economy by merely not spending money. Often that
can be the worst extravaganza, and certainly it is
exavagant to fail to provide properly for those who
ar@ unable to care for themselves.
These hospitals should be of sufficient size to
care for all those sent to them by the courts They
should have funds to properly provide for every
patient They should have and must have money
TO give the best treatment that science suggests
