sympathy. pride. grief. hate, benev-

aesthetic sense.

I'm 1907, the corporation acquired

this company were located mainly in
Alabama and Tennessee.
owing to the character of it's coal

I'm 1907 a sensation was created in
the steel rail market by E. H. Harri-
man ordering from the Tennessee
company 1880 tons Of open hearth
steel rails at 81 more per ton than

SURGERY AS 4. CURE FOR CRIME

Judge DeLacy of the Washington,
y. c., juvenile court is pardonably
enthused OYER the apparent success
of his method of removing the cause
of crime in children by means of sur
gerry. His theory of the close relation
of physical defects to criminal ten
denotes is no small contribution to
crin1inology. as has been pretty con-
clusively shown by expert testimony
in support of his deductions.
The influence of the body on the
mind was long ago recognized. and
it's manifestations given their scien-
tit1c value through study and expert
ment, as Judge DeLacy doubtless is
aware. But the idea that the knife
offered q better solution of the prob
lens daily presented in his court thar
the judicial process afforded would
appear to he his own conception. En-
ahlcd by his powers of observation
and his long experience to detect and
classify 'the underlying causes of tru-
ancy and incorrigibility, he has found
many If them to be local and rather
easily susceptible to proper treatment.
1t is found that abnormality which
might develop into hahitual wronsdo-
ing later in life can be successfully
reckoned with, and the mind of the
subject brought to a new starting
point in tine race of life.
Up to this point Judge DeLaey may
be said to occupy safe ground, but
the trained criminologist will hardly
accept the Judges optimistic conclu-
sion that by seeking the cause OF

have to deal only with persons who
commit crimes under stress of niger
or want, or some other vital feeling"
Competent authority is far from
agreeing with judge DeLacy in his
theory that juvenile ail,nent is the
sole source OF the criminal tendencies
present in adults.
The counter theory of heredity

cording to the old school. to be shak-
