Opening the rcpublican campaign in the east yesterday in an address at Rock Point, R. 1, Senator Cur- tis diverted from prepared speech, promising tariff revision fo assail the freshly delivered pro- nouncement of Gov. Smith on pro- iibition modification. He described the governor's plan as an “attempt 10 fool the American | “You kuow,” he dec ode Island republicans, “that un- der the constitution of the United | States it is impossible for our| friends on the other side to do what | they promise in regard to prohibi-| tion.” | And then the Kansas senator teld | how he had enforced the prohibi tion law back in 1855 at Topeka, Kans., when he was prosecuting attorney and when “they were s ing out there just like they saying over the nation today the prohivition idea can't be forced.” an re that | en- | Senator Curtis was back | in Washington preparing to reneiw his campaign in the east. He willl speak next Tuesday in the “back yard” . Smith at the New York State fair at Syracuse. Ha had planned to discuss agricultur there but the senator showed in his first appearance in the national campaign yesterday that he prefers to “stump” without prepared speeches and in the way he has done it for more than a third of a century in his native state. While sticking to his theme of tarift revision, promising fuller pro- tection for industry, agriculture and labor and emphasizing the need of higher duties on agricultural im- porta, the vice presidential nomine: went to it for the most part yester- day without reading his address. Just before speaking he he ad an opportunity to read Gov. Smith's acceptance address and he was quick to take issue. Apparently referring again fo his speech, he de- clared “We have put prohibition officers under the civil service, but some speakers don't know it.” Senator Curtis did not mention Gov. Smith by name nor did he re- fer to the plan of the governor to amend the eighteenth amendment and permit states to take over the ale of intoxicating beverages by | vote of the people of the state. But | he added that: “They passed a! law in the state of New York on that question and the governor who signed it knew when he signed it | that it was unconstitutional. It was, The supreme court so ruled. Why do they try to fool the people.” REA THINKS SMITH IS BIGGER THAN HIS PARTY Vamous Railroad Executive FElated Over Candidate’s Stand on Liquor Issue. Philadelphia, Aug. 24 P—Samucl Nea, former president of the Penn- sylvania railroad, a leading member of the 8mith for president citizens’ committee, said that in his views on the liquor question “Governor Sale on 250 New ON SALE TONIGHT The $3 to $ I been hitched to a wagon but who Mr. Rea said: “1 believe it was rushed through on account of *he war and follow- ing the establishment by the gov- ernment of absolute prohibition es & war measure.

This would not involve the revival of the saloon. 1 think it unfortunate both great parties did not adopt this plank in their platforms. In this respect Gov.

If in appropriate cases, the prisoners were subjected to gland graft, not only CURE FOR CRINE " BY AN OPERATION Scientists Discuss Methods of Treating Criminals By DOCTOR SERGE VORONOFF (In an interview with Henry T. | Russell.) { United Press Staff Correspondent London, Aug. 24.—(UP)—Those |criminals whose instincts are due to a disease which proves amenable to |gland graft treatment should be benefited and in some cases cured by submitting to a thyroid graft. | The theory whereby the gland of probably be free from criminal tendency but the patient himeelf | would be restored to the outside | world as a normal individual. 1 remember once reading an article | in which the writer suggested that wtih the opening of the era of gland transplantation, there came a gold- en opportunity for criminals to buy dack their past. They could, it was suggested, offer their thyroid gland to hospitals in order that feeble- | minded children of poor parents | should be operated on and restored to mental health. The idea I8 one which could pave the way to a great controversy. | What, for instance, should the giver | methods of would any children they might have | a monkey could be made to become the Sherlock Holmes of a campaign to stamp out crime is fascinating. It is based on the admitted fact that | disease is responsible for much of the world's criminality. Such for instance is the case in many horri- ble crimes where perverted actions |have been readily traced solely to a weak mind. In other cases, however, the crim- | inal instinct is often traced to atavism or even to contamination by | immoral or otherwise debased sur- | roundings and living conditions. To graft a monkey's thyroid gland on a healthy man driven to crime for instance by hunger, would be quite | uscless. Nor would it be possible | to cure a man's criminal instincts by | one of my operations 1if those in- stincts were acquired by him |through the bad example of erim- |inal near-to-kin. It is safe to eay, however, that if | a carcer of crime could be traced exclusively to feeble-mindedness and that the state of the criminal's mind | could in turn be traced to a diseased ! condition of his thyroid gland, then an absolute cure would be obtained by grafting a healthy thyroid in place o fthe deticient gland. | T have not yet had the occaslon to perform a thyrold graft upon a ¥nown criminal, yet T would attempt the experiment willingly. I am eon- fident that if his criminal tendency | were due to the bad functioning of his gland, I could effect his com- plete cure with just as much ease as 1 restorc intelligence to perfect im-| Boston, Aug. 24 (#— As a memorial {beciles in the same circumstances. ito her late husband, Mrs. Jume In fact I see no reason why the | Jackson Storrow, widow of the bank use of monkey-glands should not be- | cr, was reported today to have offer- |come frequent in future attempts to | ed $1,000,000 to the state for the de- stamp out crime.

If he was’ healthy of both body and mind and his crimes were merely the result of bad example re- ceived in youth, then might the child to whom his gland might be given become a criminal through atavism? : I do not agree that there would be any danger along these lines. No { more than a rejuvenated man or woman becomes like a monkey or forms the habits of monkeys as a result of gland graft. There is simply no necessity for using human glands 16 rejuvenate either the bodies of | the otherwise healthy or the minds | of imbeciles or criminals, As long as monkeys are obtainable, surely it would he worth the price of one of them to perform the desired opera- tion.
