Hart’s Asylum Committee Eéitor The Starr I have read in The Star of the ection of the governor tn appoint: ing @ committee to tnvestigute the conditions in the insane asylums of thie state. I wonder why tho) change of attitude by the governor at this late, date. Does the. governor think he can pull the wool over the eyes of the public by publicly appointing @ committee of investigation, thereby announcing to the heads of these institutions that a committee will soon call to make an Investigation, thus giving them warning to be ready for them? Mr, Hart says he cannet vertty the charges that has been made thru The Star and other papers for) some months past. Has Mr. Hart! made any effort to verify any of the charges? No! he has turned a deaf ear to all, until he sees that the spotlight will soon be turned on bim and his administration. I cannot discredit the Integrity of any one of those he has appointed, but I can, and do discredit the mo tive, and the way he has gone about tt, and Gare say this committes will find “nothing wrong” tn these Insti tutions. They will report that the pationta receive humane treatment. and that ‘the food given them is food and wholesome. Recently there was a two-page article appeared tn one of the #o- attle papers which has gone ali over this country. When Gov. Hart's at- tention was called to this, his only Temark waa, “You can’t listen to the babbling of a crazy woman.” He ie either forgetful or ignorant of the fact that the statements made by that woman are on record tn tho Pierce county courthouse, and with them the statement of the two doo- tors who committed her to the asylum, stating that they had made ® grosa error in saying that she was orazy. I wish to thank The @tar for the publicity that it hag given to this important matter for the Humani- tarlans. JOHN BURTON HUNT, Prea, The Humanitarians. The Glories of Citizenship Editor The star: ‘There are hundreds and thousands of honest, respectable and loyal for- cigners if this city and on the Pa cific coast.

Editor The Star: The national commander of the American Legion ts under fire be cause he played the part of a snob in the recent American Legion tour of France. Some weeks ago @ group of 127 veterans of the war, some officers, some privates, journeyed to France for a tour of the battlefields. John G, Kmery, being head of the Legion, was naturally leader of the party. Other members of the group de- clare that Emery immediately picked ler-ups. Over there caste rules, even I have met hundreds of boys who can state the same fact, Some have tol4 me: “I never really loved this country before I became a citizen”; “The certificate of naturalization the dearest paper ever given to me”; “I can not see why I should have fooled about so long before I filed for my second papers,” and many oth: ers. It seems to me that all foreigners, whether they have declared their tn- tention to become eltizens or not, as long as they enjoy this wonderful elty and Coast, that they owe alle- glance, not to any king, pope or mon- arch In their old countries, which they have left for good, but we all to- gether owe allegiance to Uncle fam, and the grandest privilege and honor ever bestowed upon any foreigner is the citizenship of America, hs ) B.
