BURNS AND SMITH G CHICAGO Tower Bldg PAYNE, NEW YORK - Dr. William J psychologist Hickson, a well Known criminal oratory of the Municipal Court of Chicago. In this apacity he has been able to make a deep stucly of the causes of crime and to offer some suggestions as to crime prevention ‘This student of criminal — tendencie regards crime as an effect of psychic irregularities and that work for its eradication must come through science rather than sentences ‘Those engaged in practical police worg may dif- fer as to What steps best curb crime, but the con clusions of Dr. Hickson are interesting and are the of 5 of experience with Cook County criminal They can be summarized ag fol- lows: “Mental debility is the primary factor in crime, and the elimination of the criminal is a problem more in psychology than in the efficient adminis- tration of thousands of police with quick trigger fingers. “Virtually all criminals are short-changed qmental equipment or emotional stability. “In reference to the number of offenses, 90 per cent, of the crime in Chicago is attributable to some form of mental debility, usually not apparent to laymen. “In more than 80 per cent of the criminally in- clined mental weaklings, the delinquency is mani- fested before the period of adolescence. ‘Crime could ibe completely wiped out in one generation by properly caring for youths of crim- inal inclinations. “A large majority of persons convicted of major crimes, such as murder, robbery and assault, have been in court previously, some many timea, for some minor offense. In most cases they have been fined, sentenced to short terms, or put on probation, only return to face more serious charge. “Punishment is not a deterrent to crime in the eyes of most criminals. “Criminal inclinations in mental weaklings is @ dominant impulse quite as irresistible as the healthy social impulses of normal individuals, and the criminal. because of his debility, does not re- gard punishment as retribution, but merely as a conspiracy of society to rob him of his right to self-expression. “The degree of viciousness and brutality in re volting crimes is in a fixed relation to the degree and nature of the mental derangement.” result rs es. on to soon some States Policy of Commission Gov. Sorlie in the first number of the North Dakota Highway Bulletin states in a clear, concise manner what the ‘new business policy of the State Highway Commission” i One important point discussed is the elimination of the dervices for the most part of engineers in private practice. This system has been abused in the ‘past and ‘probably had more to do with forcing a legislative investigation than any other single matter. act In the following words Gov. Sorlie sets forth the new policy on this much discussed issue of the state hiring engineers on a fee basis for highway construction: “We found, however, that it was the cus- tom in the past to farm out to civil engi- neerg engaged in private practice the de- signing and making of plans for the con- struetion of state and highway bridges. This practice was immediately stopped. Hereafter our bridges will be cesigned and byilt. by the State Highway Department. While it is true that private practitioners are still making designs and plans for some of our road construction, nevertheless as soon as the rush of the present construction sea- son has passed, we shall make a thorough examination as to whether it is not feasible to have all the road planning done by the Highway Department. There ia where it should ‘be done. Our engineers should be as competent as any others and besides should ‘be specialists in their respective fields of this type of engineering work. Constant experience in the solution of particular sproblems should make them ‘etter qualified for road work than the average engineer.” Whitman A movement is now under way to build a memor- jal statue to Walt Whitman, poet, in New York city. Strange, isn’t it, how those moves usually come long, after the man in question hap been buries’? Thefe ves no move to build a statue to Whitman during ‘bia life. Indeed, his name was hardly men- tioned in polite society. But if you want to get a glimpse of real Amer- icanism—of the kind of Americanism that would really and truly make our lan the greatest on earth, from every standpoint — get a copy of ‘Whitman's “Leaves of Grass” some time end read it. ‘Whitman well deserves a statue. ‘Wisconsin University refuses to accept any more ot John D.

A Relief Bridgman, American missionary in th? tells of halting a riot with a movie. strikers were preparing to go on a rampage Mr. Bridg- man and his alde set up a movie machine and flashed an American two-reel comeuy on a hastily improvised screen. Result: the would-be rioters broke into roars of laughter, and the incipient trouble was averted. This is printed chiefly because it’s such a relief to hear a good word for the movies once in a while.

[Editorial Comment | A Good Time to Buy Coat Rev. Fred Trans 1 Native (Jamestown Sun) The Railway Age, in the current issue, calls at- tention to the fact that there is less coal storage i: the country than at any time since January 1, 1923, when storage supplies were still cepleted by the effects of the great coal strike of 1922. On April 1, 1922, this samé article points out, in which began on that date, the amount stored had been ‘built up to about 63,000,000 tons. During the five months of the coal strike three-fourths of the storage supplies were wiped out. Then for more than a year the production and transportation of coal progressed on a large scale and on January 1, 1924, storage supplies reached 62,000,000 tons. Since that time the consumption hag steadily ex- ceeded the production, until, according to the Geo- logical Survey report on June 1, 1925, there were in storage only 38,000,000 tons of bitumious coal. Since June 1, it is estimated, this reserve has been reduced to about 36,000,000 tons, “This,” the article continues, “is the smallest amount that ever hag been in storage at any time since January 1, 1920, except during and immedi- ately following the great coal strike of 1922, and if production and consumption should be continued at the present rates until September 1 the supply in storage on September 1 would be only about 34. 600,000 tons, or 13,000,000 tons less than on Septem: ber 1, 1924, and 22,000,000 tons less than on Septem: ber 1, 1923, and only 12,000,000 tons ‘more than on September 1, 1922, just before the great coa) strike ended.” North Dakota is especially fortunate in the mat | ter of coal ‘because of the immense deposits of lig nite coal in the state, but it takes time and, men to mine lignite, and cars to move it, so that it would seem reasonable—in view of the facts given—for North Dakota consumers to lay in at least a reason- able supply of coal now. Wisconsin in the Senate (Chicago Tribune) The powerful organization of the date Robert M. Robert Junior, will make the best candidate for his place. The appeal of sentiment is a valuable asset, not so strong as it would be if Mrs. La Fol- lette's health had permitted her to run, yet of con- siderable weight. Gov. Blaine would seem to be the logical candidate of his faction, but the main thing is to hold the personal following of the late senator for the organization. Young Mr. La Follette hag had no experience or responsibility which would offset his youth anc especially fit him to represent a great common- wealth in the senate of the United States. But fitness is of less importance ftom the organization stdndpoint than ability to hold the father’s devoted following. The course of events will be followed with inter- est outside of Wisconsin. . The whole country is concerned with every senatorship and in this case there ig a possibility that Wisconsin may speak with an entirely different voice in the national counsels. As long as the elder La Follette lived he could count on personal devotion, “but now that he is gone it may be that the strong element of the state’s citizenship which did not approve his tendency toward extreme raticalism and the 80- efaliatic character of his legislation may get 4 better hearing in the state and be able to send a more conservative man to stand for Wisconsin at Washington. Gov. Blaine and the other La Follette organiza- tion bosses evidently feel that they need all they can keep of the late governor's personal prestige, and that is a good sign. It ts time for a change in Wisconsin, and we trust its substantial people will find a new and better exponent of their citizenship, wha will put them in tbe full current of reat Amer- ican ideas. La Folletteism largely drew its ideas from the state socialism of Europe, and we trust the new generation will be more invbued with American principles of progress. Young Mr. La.Follette, it would seem, simply echoes the ideas which his father adopted and expressed in much of Wisconsin’s legisiation and in the exploitation of agrarian and industrial discontent. anticipation of the strike in the bituminous mines’ | LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES.

The stom- countries. When they are brought, capitalism seeks the least enterpris- ing. THE MOST COMPLEX PROBLEM OF ALL So here, in a country where the original races, the Yankees and the Hawaiians, drew no social line against each other, and freely inter- married, we now have the more com- plex race problem of a jumble of al} the races in the world, with the white population a small minority, but constituting a small feudal aris- tocracy on top. ‘There is no room for the common white man, Land is not a commod- ity, bought and sold, but the per. manent estate of a few ducal and baronial families, and of the gov- ernment, as ccessor to the crown. These families lack nothing of ac- tual nobility but its formal title. Below them is a very small middle class, of professional and business men, nearly all in the city of Hono- lulu; and a certain number of skilled mechanics. Nearly ‘all the rest is coolie unskilled labor. Governmentally, the Territory is an American republic, with the na tive Hawaiian race still the voting majority, Socially, it is a feudal aristocracy, erected over a founda- tion of race. WHERE THE REST OF US WILL PROFIT One way or another, Hawaii will solve or fail to solve its problem The world can afford to risk Haw: on the experiment. If it sueceeds on the race problem, either>by “social equality,” includ- ing intermarriage, or by some caste syagem, the rest of us will have the advantage of Hawaii’s experience. If it does not, Hawaii will take the consequences, and the rest of us will profit by the warning. FABLES ON HEALTH USES APOPLEXY ach lies just beneath the heart, and when filled with gas it is like a small balloon. It lifts up until it interferes with heart action. To overcome the obstruction the heart must exert itself in proportion to the interference. When this happens a larger quan- tity of blood.is sent to the brain, a vessel often ruptures and apoplexy is the result. Whether this is the explanation for Bryan's death is a question. The fact remains, however, that heavy eating often does cause «apoplexy and death, and persons with hearty appetites should be careful. ADVENTURE OF THE. TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS, BARTON The next place the Twins went to was Doofunny Land. Juggle Jump said that'if they real-| ly wanted to find the rest of Puff's lost buttoms,. they'd: better go there, ny Land ‘was a most. im- portant” place, and Mister Fuaz Wuzz who ran_the place @ mogt saga- } elous petionindee ie So when they came to the hollow sthmp that led to Doofunny Land, Juggie Jump pushed on his coat but- ton that was marked “almost noth- ing at all.” And instantly he and the Twins| shrank into almost nothing at all. Then they went right down the hollow stump. After that théy went down a pair of stairs —and lo and behold! There they were in Doofunny Land. “Hello there!” cried Mister Fuzz Wuzz who owned the place. “I’m glad to see you. But what brings you here? Something must be up.” “No-something’s off,” said Juggle Jump. “POff, “the Fairy Queen’s cook, sneezed off all his buttons. Did any. of them come here?” “Pll call the roll and ask,” said Mister Fuzz Wuzz, picking up a large stick and beating on a dish- pan. : Instantly from far and wide the Doofunny Landers came running. ~ “What is it? What is it?” cried the other queer people. “What is itm” “I haven’t got it,” said the Patent Leather Cat, stroking his whiskers solemnly. “And I haven't it,” id Mis: Pithers, the Yarn Lady, snippilf. “And we don’t have it,” said Mr. and Mrs, Cut-Out, and all the chil- dren. “Our buttons are paper.” “And I don’t have it,” said the Soap Baby. “I don’t wear any clothes at all!” “Chug-a-lorum! You can see for yourself that I have no use for but- tons.’ croaked the Tissue’-Paper-Cot- ton Frog. “Yes, yon have. You have four black shoe:buttons down your back,” squeaked the Tin Mouse. “I've often seen them.” “That's the wrong kind,” said Jug- gle Jump. The Saw Horse whinnied out, “I {don't have any” ‘And the Clothes Horse went, “Clack, clack, clack! The only but- tons I know about are the ones on the clothes that hang on me on ironing day.” Suddenly Miss Pithers, the . yarn lady, exclaimed,’ “Just look at the wheels on the Wooden Waddle Duck! They don’t match!” And there, if you please, was an- other of Puff’s buttons. That made eight. The Twins and Juggle Jump thanked Mister Wuzz and all -the Doofunny Landers, especially the Wooden Waddle Duck, and, contin ued on their way. ; I suppose the Wooden Waddle Dack Saailes now more than ever.
