Criminality and Disease.

Students of criminOlOgy are of the opinion that
a reform in penal methods is necessary before
there can be any great diminution in the volume
of criminulity and the trend of modern thought
is toward more attention to corrective and less
to punitive policies in the management of those
who have broken the laws. Most penal institll-
lions of the present day are governed under the
triple policy of safety of society, the punishment
of the criminal and reformation of his character,
but in point of fact the idea of punishment has
first place, and the attempt at reformation is
only incidental. Thus it comes that while some
degree of punishment is inflicted and society is
temporarily protected, a large portion of those
who have served terms for Offenses return to
their old haunts and habits as soon as released,
and continue their career of crime until the law
again intereferes, In the meantime new crim-
inals appear, and so it is that there is a steady
increase in crime and prOpOrtiOnate increase
in the cost for protection and punishment.
Consideration of the facts has brought about
new school of sOciOlogists. They are called
criminal anthrOpOlOgists, and the conclusion
they reach is radically different from that which
has obtained heretofore concerning the nature
and cause of crime. 1t is their belief that the
criminal is being physically and psychically
degenerate. His mental state predispOSeS him
to crime. He is diseased, and should be treated
accordingly, and should not be given his liberty
until he is morally, mentally and physically quail
flied to lead an honest life. This view, the, new
school claims, is sustained by the results OBJ
served by careful study of the mental peculiar
tiles of those who have been convicted of GRIM
inal offense.
The old idea is that the commission of crime
is an act of the individuals free will, and the
treatment has been in keeping with this belief.
The comparative failure of the old penal methods
is good evidence of fault in this view, and it
may be that the criminal anthropolOgists have
hit upon the true solution. At least their ex-
PLANTATION is reasonable enough to warrant a

ing thing about the prison is the tall wooden
clock in the state pattern shop. 1t is the tri-
umph of mind over matter, and clear expOsi-
ton of what can be done when there is will

and the weight which is 80 lbs. The winding
rod is piece of gas pipe with square brass plug
in the end. The hands are wood and there are
two dials. the upper for the minute hand and
the lower for the hours. This unique time piece
has kept time regularly for one year for its de-
signer and maker, the state pattern maker.

thorough test of its efficiency.

thorough test of its efficiency.
Reviewing the conclusions of the new school
in the The american Journal of Politics, Westel
w. WillOughby gives some figures showing the
great burden which criminality forces upon So
ciety. He finds that there are in the United
States fifty large penitentaries, more than IT,
600 jails and numerous city prisons and police
stations. The first cost of these institutions ex-
ceeds $500, 600 600, which is practically dead CAPT.
tai, entailing yearly interest loss of $25 900.
But this amounts to little IN comparison with the
cost for yearly maintenance. At the last prison
congress it was stated that this country annually
pays more than $4OO 900 600 for the detection and
punishment of crime. And the worst of it is
that with this large expenditure there is no di-
minutiOn in the volume of crime and only the
most meager showing along the line of criminal
reformation.
These facts argue that there is something
wrong in the existing systems of restraint, and
and they speak strongly of the necessity for the
adoption of methods which will lessen the volume
of criminality and relieve society from The enor-
nous tax incidental to the protection of the
people. In some institutions the methods are
modelled somewhat on the plan suggested by the
criminal anthrOpOlOgists, and the results are in
a measure satisfactory Therefore it is reason
able to believe that closer attention to the refOr-
NATIVE and curative idea would avail much in
the struggle against crime. 1t has long been ad-
mitted that many are born with prediction
to crime, but our penal institutions have given
practically no consideration to hereditary
influences.
1t might be well to give the idea of the criminal
anthrOpologists a careful test. At the same
time, if that theory holds, much good can be &C
complished along the line of applying the cure
before the commission of the crime. Not all
criminals can be detected in advance but the
ranks of criminality are constantly recruited
from scources which are well-known as breeders
of lawlessness. In this case, as in many Others

No Convict Labor.

There is to be no more convict labor
on the public buildings of the United
States. Supervising Architect O'Rourke
has brought about this innovation very
quietly, by an order directing that the
following words shall appear in all adj
vertisements for contracts of govern
ment buildings: "No convict labor, or
product of convict labor, shall be used"
This clause makes a sweeping change
in the policy hitherto pursued by the
treasury department in the erection of
public buildings.
