is CRIME A DISEASE?

Uncle Sam has an inspiration. He is
spending over $1,200,OOO annually for
prisons and has reached the conclu-
sion that it would be a wise thing to
spend $4,000 a year in an effort to dis
cover whether or not crime is a dis
ease. It is high time, too, according
to the government view, that such an
investigation should be made, as sta
tistics show that this country has the
highest murder rate Of any civilized
country in the world.
That this study shall be thorough a
vast laboratory is proposed in which
expert criminologists will take up the
abnormal American, seek to analyze
his characteristics, discover If possible
the causes of his abnormality, solve
the problems O. heredity and early en-
vironment and suggest new treatment
for him. The government is encour-
aged in it's work by letters from Lom-
broso, Mosso and w. T. Stead.
1t is proposed to select criminals and
otherwise abnormal children as the
first subjects of the investigation. In
struments will be used to measure the
acuteness of taste touch, hearing, see
ing and smell. to weigh the quantity
of blood attracted to the brain by
dreams or mental work; to record the
effect of emotions upon the depth Of
respiration and the unconscious move
ments or trembling of the various
muscles; to tina the brains speed Of
thought and action; to measure the
nerves Sensitiveness to pain, heat,
cold and electricity; to record the ac-
tual power Of the various muscles-in
fact, to accurately record on paper a
mans entire working mechanism.
AT the same time that a study is
being made Of criminals, paupers, inc
briates, insane and the otherwise de-
fective one will be conducted as to
normal Iren for comparisons. Careful
investigation will be made Of the
brains of noted criminals like H. II.
Holmes and William Hooper Young,
now in the Toombs for the murder Of
a woman. 1t is a fact we'll known to
criminologists that the average crirni-
nal is somewhat above the average of
intelligence. The bureau of education
has statistics to show that As per cent
Of 27,000 criminals Investigated had
been educated in grammar schools,
per cent in high schools or acade-
mics, per cent in colleges, 20 per cent
in private elementary schools, while
only Il per cent were actually litter
ate. 1t is proposed also to extend the
scope of the inquiry to mob infiu-
ence and the causes of anarchy.
The inquiry will at least be interest
ing and in some degree instructive, but
it is not probable that it will result in
q definite discovery that crime is a
disease. AS a rule it comes from en-
vironment, necessity of the moment,
violent passion and the like, and can
only in rare cases be traced to he

TIE ONE ROAD HIT.

Probably the only railroad doing an
interstate business in Minnesota that
will suffer increase Of taxes from the
bungling Of the gross earnings tax by
the Van SAINT administration is the
Minneapolis & st. Louis
This is because this road has 81 per
cent of its mileage in Minnesota,
whereas its competitors for the Chi
cago, Omaha and Iowa traffic have
only 1 to II per cent Of their mileage
in Minnesota, and therefore, on the
Van SAINT plan, would pay taxes on
only 1 to II per cent Of their inter-
state traffic, as against 81 per cent for
the M. & st. L.

SATURDAY, OCT. 10.
REGISTER TUESDAY.

The hopes of Democratic success
which now show out so strongly, will
be destroyed if Democrats do not gem
orally. register throughout both city
and state.
Tuesday is the registration day. The
Democratic vote at the primaries was
exceptionally small in this county.
Democrats should remember that fact.
They should remember, too, that it is
like the voice of the pelican in the
wilderness for either editor or orator
to argue in favor of the party's prin-
ciples if the party's adherents have
failed in fulfilling the first requirement
to being able to vote at all.
The Democrat who does not register
on Tuesday may be set down as will
ing to take chances on his partys de-
feat There is no certainty whatever
that he will register at all. If he does
not register he cannot vote, and his
party suffers directly by his remissness.
1t is the party which is able to bring
out it's adherents to the registration
days that wins. Activity on election
day, however great, is of no avail if it
has not been supplemented by activity
connected with the registration.
TIL e Globe cannot lay too much
stress on the party necessity of Demo-
Gratis generally registering. Victory
even in this state confronts the party.
The country is aroused to the danger
of the trusts and the eXactions of the
tariff.
In this state the pranks of a common
public mountebanIl are relied on to
deceive the people into accepting a
continuance Of his mischievous, eX-
travagant and unprincipled administra-
ton of state affairs. But the people
have long since discovered the trick
of the mountebank as the substitute of
the conduct of the responsible public
official
In this county the voters are ready
to confirm the Democratic party in the
control of the county offices and to
punish Republican dishonesty. All that
is necessary is that Democrats should
register.
Every good citizen should remember
that he is called on to go to the vot-
ing place on Tuesday some time and
qualify himself for exercising his vot-
ing privilege on election day. The man
who fails to discharge that duty merits
to be disfranchised. The Democrat
who fails publishes his disregard for
ciples of his party

Letters From SeIf-Made Merchant to
His Son-By George Horace Lor1mer.
Published by Small, Maynard & Co.,
Boston.
Made Merchant to His Son. may be
denominated a sort Of business novel,
for they tell connected story while
laying down commercial laws and
trade pitfalls. The book Is scintillant
with good things. It starts with John
Graham ut the union stock yards in
Chicago and his son, Pierrepont, a
freshman at Harvard. The letters con-
tinue while the boy is in college
through period of wildcats sowing
to the taking OF the boy into the firm
in g subordinate position, through an
other period Of parental pessimfsm
because of the sens fondness for buy
ing roses ard lethargy in handling
business. The son grows little by little
in the good graces Of his father, and
finally reaches the point of telling the
latter whats what" and receives a
limited blessing. The book is full from
cover to cover of epigrammatic clev-
erness. Here are a few clippings taken
at random:
Some men learn the cussedness of
whisky by having a drunken father;
some by having a good mother.
The first thing that an education

velops them.
The meanest man alive is the one
who is generous with money that he
has not had to sweat for.
There are sixteen ounces to the

You can catch a minnow with a
worm and a lass will take your min

When fellow makes the same mis-

Whenever airy one offers to let you

There isn't any such thing as being
your own boss in this world unless

Half the men who are with the

It's pretty safe to bet that if fellow
needs a six CT seven-syllable word to
describe his profession, he's a corn
doctor when you come to look him up
in the dictionary.
The lady on the dollar is the only
woman who hasn't any sentiment in
her makeup.
If fellow has got poetry in him it's
bound to come out sooner or later in

Some people. especially very young

He laughs best who doesn't laugh a.

lie.
You can buy some fellows with a
cheap cigar and some with a cheap
compliment, and there is no objection

The only thing you ever find in
pastry that you don't put in yourself
is flies.
Business is a good deal like a mig
gers Wool-it doesn't look very deep,
but there is heap of kinks and curves
in it.
The only animal which the Bible
calls patient is an ass, and that's both
good doctrine and good natural his
tory.
When a fellow brags that he has a o.
pull, he's a liar or his employers a
fool.
Education will broaden a narrow
mind, but there is no known cure for
a big head.
One lie breeds enough distrust to
choke out the prettiest crop of con-
fidence that a fellow ever cultivated.
1t isn't enough to be all right in this

Hot air can take up a balloon long

Some men do q days work and then

I believe in short engagements and

A violent woman drives a man to

crazy.
I'm a greats believer in women in
