Wants Restoration of the
Propagation of
Criminals
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.-Singular in
terest attaches itself TO a movement
agitated by Senator J. A Mckee OF
Sacramento looking 20 the restrictlon
OF the propagation Of criminals. NC
Kee. who Is a practicing physician, is
reluctant about Hsduly quickening leg
islation Of this character, but he be-
lieves that IL IS constantly becoming
a matter Of more imperative moment
ia California.
Mckee would not confne the restric-
ton to academic limits, but would as
sure Its positiveness through clinical
means. Like the Heidelberg savants,
be argues that irreclaimable malefac-
tors constitute an infection on the
body politio that spreads through her
edity and that the popular prejudice
against having the surgeon intercept
their propagation is born Of mistaken
humanitarianism.
He was quite frank, however, about
admitting the light Of the other side
Of the lantern and said that any meas
ure Of restrictive incidence would have
TO have the most careful consideration
before It became 3 law.
"A proposed bill of this character
would have support in both houses OF
the Legislature" he said, but have
not yet decided on introducing one at
the present session. Senators, Judges
and other men OF influence agree with
me, however, that such a measure must
ultimately be given the earnest con-
sideration Of the Legislature and II II
is not introduced now IL will be at
the next session. I am positively in
favor Of having the medical societies
of the State indorse a propaganda
Of this kind before 1t is brought TO
the attention of the Legislature, and
I am now working toward this end
"A law resembling the measure I
have In view is now in force in In
diana, where It is accomplishing very
material results in restricting crime
and criminals. The State does not ex-
ercise the functions provided. for by
the law until a criminal has been twice
convicted and there is no doubt about
the hopelsssness OF his reformation.
Then the assistance OF the surgeon is
sought
There are obvious dangers attend
ing this law, however. and society has
a right to be ouerulous over the dis
ordinations made IN its enforcement
Where the lines are to be drawn are
more than nice questions-they may
at times require more vision than ac-
company administrative functions in
the most conscientious character.
Governor Pardee. who is a physi-
clan, was opposed to any legislation
OF this kind. don't know what the
views Of Governor Gillett may be,
and ] think It would be unreasonable
TO ask for them offhand. I do know.
however, that popular interest in this
matter Is constantly increasing in
California and that the evil sought TO
be corrected is almost universally rec
ognized. Legislation is certain to come
Of this interest. and IL will be legisla-
ton the remedial value Of which is
urgent"
