DEALING WITH THE CRIMINAL,
Grave Problem That Has Ever Been
Before Society.

II Is a novel idea that any man over
30 years OF age who commits crime
may be set down, as a rule. to he NOR
ally bad. with no hopes OF improve
Belfield. who advances the theory,
is the arrest Of the instincts by the
intellect, says the Chicago Journal.
A child is a savage. If he continues
to improve slowly he has chance
to outgrow his tendencies before he
is 30. II he does not do so. then he
is hopeless, and DR.. Belfield thinks
he should either be imprisoned for
life or else put out OF the world alto
gether.
Civilization growing more and more
averse to capital punishment, will
never consent to the cemetery outlet
thus suggested. But permanent seq
regation in a penal colony would be
equally effective. We do not 60 so
far as Dr. Belfield as to believe that a
man over 30 who commits a crime
is therefore necessarily moral idiot
One experience Of punishment has
been enough for many men past that
age.
But when man Is undeterred by
punishment and goes on committing
one. crime after another. then We
think society owes 1t to itself to take
stern measures. Such a man should
be adjudged a habtuai and ire
claimable criminal and removed from
society. But, on the other hand. hon.
est men should not be burdened with
the cost of supporting him. He should
be forced to earn his own living.
