SCHOOLING MAKES CRIME
BOYS IN PRIMARY GRADES ARE
WICKED.
Bertillon Gives Statistics-Child-
less Widowers Are the Worst
Sort of Bad Men.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
PARIS, May 90 1910.
Dr. Jacques Bertillon has come out
with another Of his interesting statis-
teal demonstrations.
This time he treats Of crime in France,
showing how high the average Is among
young men, and how mistaken doctrinaires
were when they used to argue. open q
school and you close q prison
IT am not very far from the belief"
remarks this high authority, that it is
just the contrary"
Anyhow, crime is nearly as rife among
youths of sixteen to twenty years of age
as among young men of twenty to thirty
Married men are steadier than the
others, especially when they have fam
lilies, a fact which DR.. Bertillon partly
attributes to 1.-The desire to be honored
by their children, to leave to them
stainless name and a respected memory.
family to bring up Is certainly
burden, but it Is beneficent one
Childless Widowers Most Wicked.
But the ilustrious savant reveals an
odd fact which may not be generally
SUSPECTED In a previous article he point
ed to the high mortality among widow
ers, and now he tells us that their
criminality increases in the same pro-
portion" Who would have dreamt OF
such a thing? Yet here it Is in language
that admits OF no misunderstanding:
Even if widowers have children their
crimnality becomes on par with tnat
| of bachelors, apaches included, which
shows the value of Womans control,
small though it may be.
But even far worse is the position OF
the childess widower. The cr1mlna!lty or
! this group of men is the highest on our
| list"
Pointing the moral, DR.. Bertillon argues
that it is the feeling of his responsibility
that makes the man.
Woman's Influence for Good.
| when this feeling weakens he becomes
| less capable of effort and succumbs to
the slightest obstacle. to the smallest
| temptation. A woman's presence and
| the presence of children. above ALL slim
uates his courage excites his energy
and urges him to fresh exertion to bring
them up in a worthy manner"
| AS for women generally, he gives them
| a good character. They are "incompara-
| bly, less often criminals than men are
| and when they are, man is usually at
| the bottom of the trouble. At any rate.
| men are not so prone to evil at every
age.
| Their criminality is only considerable
up to the age of forty. after which it
| decreases rapidly with age. Old ruff1ans
are very rare"
| What DR.. Bertillon means by the ex-
| tension of crime among youths is this:
| Bad natures, he says. reveal themselves
| very soon. He thinks that primary in
struction actually aggravates this
II such Is really the case. this is proba-
bly, owing to the fact that 1t sharpens
| an intellect already bent on mischief.

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

The South Carolina. Legislature will
meet In January. The municipal cleo
ton in Charleston will not be held for
more than year. 1t would be prac-
ticable to have such legislation as may
be required to change the form OF the
city government of Charleston in am
pie time for the adoption of the COM
mission plan without interfering with
the present method. and in time for
electing men to administer the affairs
of the city under the new order.
If the commission plan Is to be
adopted in Charleston this is the time
to provide for 1t. There is no longer
any doubt as to its effectiveness. That
has been established by actual expert
ence in a number Of American cities,
and, if the people Of Charleston are
careful of their interests, they will
insist upon 1t for that community,
Now is the time to insist. The COM
mission plan would be a good thing
for Richmond. We have urged its
adoption here. and there could be no
better time than the present to agi-
tate the question here. The more
the administration OF
public affairs the better for the pub
lie. "Too many cooks spoil the broth"

rnAYER For THE SENATE.

Charles E. Thayer is the Mayor OF
Norwich, Connecticut Strange to say,
he is a. Democrat. and he must be a
very likable fellow. He has announced
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, and he has done 1t so politely"
and in such good ihumor, that 1t must
impress the non-dyspeptic people of
that State and make them resolve with
their lives, their fortunes atId their
sacred honor to put him where he be-
longs, evidently instead of sending Mn.
Buckley back to Washington.
DR.. clark's paper is disposed to re-
gard Mayor Thayer as a political hu-
morist. but. although he has pleasantly
expressed his Intentions. we assume
that he is desperately In earnest. He
ing for. because he is Democrat in
the first place, and in the second place
because he looks to US at this distance
to be OF full Senatorial size. There
is no reason why Democrat who
could be elected Mayor of Norwich
could not, by the proper presentation
of his cause to the people Of Connec-
ticut be elected also to the United
States Senate.
Mayor Thayer's announcement is per-
fectly plain. He does not beat about
the bush: he comes out directly and
offers himself to the people Of his
State for their service in Washington.
Stranger things have happened at
times In the political history Of this
country than the election of this adj
venturesome Democrat of Connecticut,
and we wish him mighty we'll. He
never told Dr. Clark that he would not
be candidate for the Senate; he Meyer
promised Governor Mclean that he
would support him for Bulkeleys
place. Having entered upon whSrl-
wind campaign. in perfect humor with
himself and with all the voters Cd the
State. he may be elected. That would,
indeed, be fine settlement of tire per-
sonal differences of Senator B.ulkeley
and Governor Mclean
