Crime / Disease.

Some people &c so far as to say that
crime in many of its forms is dis
ease A great many people admit that
crime is frequently committed BY per.
sons who are the victims of circum-
stances and who are not impelled to
crime by what may be called real
criminal motives If congress shall
establish a bureau of criminology. the
experts will study living conditions Of
the people, the effect of poverty and
liquor drinking on crime. aud many
other subjects which may shed light
upon the main question. The same
argument that is used by physicians
for the establishment of such a bureau
as they want is used by the friends of
the other project. They say that if
Uncle Sam is willing to spend millions
every year through the agricultural
department To check the rayages of in
sect pests, that he ought to be willing
to spend a few thousands to check the
rayages of crime. In recent years
congress has paid more attention to

a Laboratory of Crminology The

money for the establishment of such

intention of the lawmakers, if they

friends of the measure want is to

a deep study of the causes of crime
with a view of finding out if it is not

Responding to general demands for
such a scientific check to the prevent
able diseases and deaths that are now
known to cost the nation $4,000
600 in life and labor each year Off
GERS of this organization are making
every effort to have a law speedily
made of their recommendation. which
was contained in the platform of the
three leading parties in the last pres
idential campaign and which has been
advocated By leaders of every political
faith since that time President Taft
las Just assured representatives Of
the American Medical association and
American Health league, they declare.
chat he is heartily in favor of this
plan If the people of every section
Of the land will declare themselves on
this vital question in the next few
weeks, it is asserted Uncle Sam soon
may be persuaded to give the same at
tention to the physical welfare of hui
man beings that he now does to that
of sheep. cattle, hens and hogs"
The friends of the plan for health
bureau under government control say
that the bureau is particularly neces-
sary to warn the people of this coun-
try "of the dangers that menace their
vitality in the most common walks OF
everyday life" Then the American
Health league says that it is calling
attention to drugs as we'll as diseases.
Declaration is made that numerous
forms ol drug habits are becoming
more prevalent everywhere in the
United States than people realize The
dangers of cocaine. morphine and OPT.
