His article, it is five from the leading alienists of the J. Pierpont | Morgan is heavily interested financially in this periodical. Dr. Hamilton in opening his article says that every nation has suf-] , fered at times from the effect of the reign of a “psychopathic monarch.” and ren off & miler in G4 minutes 5° res, are replete with examples. 4s so little specific information obtainable from a medical point of view on All periods, he dec this important subject. “It is only," he declares, “with to-{ @ay's knowledge of the tnfiuence of | Psychopathic heritage, and the develop- ment of paranoid es in persons of Getective organization, that we are able t> explain the place in literature of those DRAMATIC AND PICTUR- ESQUE CHARACTERS WHOSE HY TERICAL AND DELUSIONAL Ut TERANCES AND ANDIOSE AS- SERTIONS HAVE LED QUESTION TO THEIR AC AS LEADERS OF MOBS, AN TO THEIR CANONIZATION.” From this he progresses to a brief dis- cussion of the psychopathic strain of some of the great European ruling fam- ilies, notably the Bourbons, the Haps- burgs, the Oldenburgs and the Rom- anovs. Only a few hundred words ar devoted to the subject. He continues: | The Queer Kind in All Places, “In every community are to be found @ number of men who are so diffe from their fellows, by reason of thelr | conduct and ty to themselves to ordinary so: that they are looked upon as queer and | eccentric “Baldwin has defined the exact p accommodate wf these persons, classify’ng them unfit or ‘anti-social,’ and he insists, first, that the individual must be bo} to learn, and, next, that all individuals must te born to learn the same thing. It ds also necessary that the individual be free from hereditary tendencies ren- dering him anti-social to a ‘suppressive degree.’ he disposition of the majority of mankind ‘s to hold such a person to account fr his laches, and he ts usu- aily tolerated as a bore, or one who forms an ‘anti-social’ judgment, or is g@ctually held responsible for his per- ‘fpicious and freaky tricks, His ideals may be high enough, and he may strive to cultivate a personal altruistic life, yet his studied desire to help and re- form others often ends in mischievous disregard of thore who do not need de- velopment cr protection or correction, and he may be ever looked upon as a | ‘mischievous medd Should he be invested with power, he may {mperil the peace and safety of those over mn he rules, “This kind of altruism ts in some ways} quite as offensive and dangerous as actual self-interest or immorality, and | §s as detrimental in some instances to the welfare of the community as actual wrongdoing. It would, therefore, seem that the apparent unselfishness of the mentally unbalanced {s almost as much fraught with danger to a people as} corrupt self-interest. Persistent effort, | eneray and fixity of purpose, even for | tne accomplishment of seemingly im- portant results, of course do no. | themeeives of necessity indicate sanity An erroneous fixed idea, no matter how lofty, if irrational and obstinately en- tertained, may be highly dangerous in its consequences, as all psychiatrists know. “The true testa, after all, are the ex-| istence of consistency and continuity, of thought and action; the presence of} suMicient and proper basis for the ex-| ercise of will: the realization of the] eunditions of existing order which are} helleved in and ac. the avoldance of pted by jority, control, and the re focial comfort of one’s kind.” Dr. Hamilton speaks of certain forms | didates as present | chosis.

Hel Says there {s a well-known disorder called “paranoia reformatoria.”” the viettm of which is apt to pose as aj) champion of justice and an avenger of humanity. He refers also to “queru- lants,"" whose unhinging {s wholly mani-| fested by purposeless and unnecessary legislation. Speaks of “Paranoia Reformatori. “While it is easy, as has been sata writes the alienist, other coun than our own to beware of certain pRfalls, or to know what to expect from degenerate monarchs, {t cannot be denied that there 1s a great danger at- ched to all republican forms of gov- ernments, no matter in what part of the world, where new presidents are chosen every few years, about whose ante- cefents and mental health little or nothing {s Known.

Not a Product of Modern Times. Hamilton harks back to times nations, fretting under oppres- and misrule, have unhesitatingly d the leadership of a fanatic. He recalls particular'y the case of Cola de Rienzi, who in the fourteenth cen- tury exeraised wonderful control over |” the people of Italy. Rlenzi's first ‘meastires appealed to the mobs because they appeared to be devoted to the in- terests of the people, but he was In- sane and In time grew te compare him self ©arst, On one occasion he waved @ sword to the known divisions of the world and said; “They, too, be- ng to me." From the Fourteenth Certury Dr Hamtiton makes a long jump right to theve times in the following language (Continued on Beoond Page.)
