On being interviewed concerning the
new proposition Mayor Green did not
make a very encouraging statement,
although he admitted that the idea
take in hand. He said that at the
present time Topeka could hardly af-
ford the laboratory but in a few years
he had no doubt but the system
Several of the members of the city
council were in favor of the idea but
like Mayor Green thought it a big
proposition for a city the size of To-
peka to undertake Chief Of Police
Eaton was greatly in favor of the idea
and has been advocating such thing
ever since his term in Office. He gave
several instances in which prisoners
at the city prison were absolutely un-
able to refrain from crime. It was a
habit they could not break.
At the present time the Topeka po-
lice department is turning about $500 |
a month into the city treasury. AT
this rate it means almost $4,000 a |
blooded proposition-can the city af-
ford to dam this prosperous inflow and |
allow other sources to drain the city |
funds? This idea of making Jail |
into a school costing many thousand |
dollars a year does not appeal to the |
average city official.

ucatiOnal Character.

VIII Topeka have a city laboratory
for the study of the criminal and weak
ling classes?
This is a question that is confronting
the city officials. The plan has been
considered at the request of Arthur
Macdonald, the honorary president of
the third International Congress of
Criminal Anthropology OF Europe, at
the present time making his headquar-
ters in Washington, D. c. He has writ
ten letter to the city officials on the
matter and it is being looked upon with
favor.
There is wave of reform sweeping
over the country to the effect that the
cities should look after the moral health
of the people with as much scientific
foresight as they do the physical health
OF the people The official statistics of
the leading countries of the world show
that within the last 80 or more years
crime suicide. insanity, and other
forms of abnormality have been in
creasing relatively faster than the pop
ulation.
The remedy for this is a laboratory
for the study and reformation of crimi-
nails 1t has been proven by the cases
in the local police station that the de-
terminate sentence permits many pris-
oners to be released who are morally
certain to return to crime For in
stance there are TRUSTEES at the To-
cal police station who have been in the
fail for the last few years. Every time
they serve their sentence and are re-
leased they are arrested again within
"a hours for the very same crime
There are prisoners who have been
making regular calls at the station
who have any variety of crimes
against them-regardless of the threats
sentences. and fines. The indeterminate
sentence is the best method of afford
ing a prisoner an opportunity to re-
form without any danger to society at
large BY the new system suggested
to the city officials the prison would be
made a reformatory and the reforma-
tory a school The principal object of
both would be to teach good, mental
moral and physical habits. In other
words the new system would be dis
tinctIy educational The main purpose
of the school then is to study the causes
of crime pauperism. alcoholism, defec-
tiveness degeneracy and other forms of
abnormality with a view to lessening
or preventing them.
Cities Are Testing 1t.

the United States have adopted these
ideas. The Endorsements of the system
are hattering to say the least. Twenty

to Go Through.

Washington, March 14.-The
postotfice appropriation bill, car
rying atotal appropriation of
1922, 100, 1862, was passed by the
House of Representatives to-day.
Only five pages remained to be
disposed of when the measure
was taken up soon after the
House convened.
The first amendment to run
successfully the gauntlet was one
by Mr.. Finley, of South Carolina, 4,
increasing by 100000 the ap-
preparation for rural delivery
service, making the total amount
for that purpose $35, $4,000.
Other amendments followed
thick and fast, all bearing on the
rural service. These covered the
extension TO rural routes OF the
drop letter privilege; the waiv-
ing of the requirements as to
gates enclosing farms; require
ment that service on rural car.
rier routes be not suspended on
legal holidays; the grading OF
$50 per annum additional to ru
