To Unman Bad Men?
DR.. Van Epps, who is professor of
therapeutics and assistant professor Of
clinical medicine, advocated the aboli-
ton of foolish sentiment" and the
protection of society against increased
number of dangerous criminals and de-
fectives,' by steriiizing criminals. idiots,
epileptics, drunkards and drug fiends'
He declared that the welfare OF our
race depends upon such preventive leg
islation.
In his introduction, DR.. Van Epps
gives statistics showing that in spite
Of the fact thta the population of the
state OF Iowa has from 1908 to 1908 de-
creased, the number of criminals and
detectives has increa sed almost 10 per
cent.
Heredity Plays Part.
The most important feature in pro-
ducing insanity and criminality is
heredity, he said Thru the marriage
Of blood relations the family faint may
be intensified Some states have laws
prohibiting the marriage of ep.leptics,
feeble minded and insane. Four states,
Iowa. California, Connecticut and
Indiana have laws providing for the
surgical sterilization Of detectives in
these unfortunate classes are included
criminals, idiots, eptleptics. drunkards
and drug fends. Some question has
arisen as to the legality Of such law,
but 1t has generally become a recog-
nized fact that Society as a whole is
responsible for the acts Of its members
and that ii may, insofar as its interests
require, exercise effective supervision
and guardianship over each and every
| one"
In Indiana where 456 operations have
been performed upon detectives not a
single case OF increased nervous or
! mental state developed. On the con-
trary there was frequently increa sed
| mental and physical power and moral
! tone. showing the beneficial results of
the individual. In the past much fool
ish sentiment has been expressed
against such treatment of our defec-
tives, but the states are now beginning
TO see the necessity of protecting them
/ selves against the increased number of
! dangerous criminals and detectives.
The welfare of our race depends upon
such preventive legislation.
