SURGICAL REFORM FAILED.

The bright prospect Of the cure Of
moral defects by SURGERY is sadly
dimmed by the news that the Milwau-
the vice of habitual burglary has re-
iapsed.
He was taken out of the Green Bay
prison on the testimony of surgeons
hat he was irresponsible through
pressure of bone en- his brain. The
o was removed, but he committed
another burglary. This the surgeons
charged to the DOOR adjustment Of the
silver plate inserted to replace the
bone. With a readjustment of the
plate the young man walked the
paths of rectitude for a year, and was
then sen to the penitentiary for five
years for stealing from his employ
ars.
Of purse it is still possible to claim
that such a subject belongs to a hos
pital rather thas a prison. The old
pressure may have created a morbid
condition of the brain which persists
after the u is removed. Certainly
it would appear hat a man who
keeps on committing crime under the
alternative penalties of Imprisonment
or having portions of skull sawn out
is deficient in ON respects. Never
theless, the case administers a black
eye to the theory of crime being due
to physical defects and durable by
surgery. That remains in the category
of mot proven" and permits the re-
crudescence of the belief that such
crimes come from a cause that lies
deeper than the skull.
The surgery of two or more centu-
rfes ago vas much more simple and
direct. 1t was always applied to the
cervical column, and never failed to
cure the subject. That it killed al
the same time that it cured was re-
garded by the penology of that time
as an essential incident not to be al
lowed to interfere with the cure. We
r more particular now; yet It an.
not be claimed that we have discov-
cred any more certain cure for the
disease of habitual crime. Neverthe-
less, 1t is worth while to consider in
this connection the trend of the heal
ing science to the art of curing be-
fore the disease develops, or more
tersely, of prevention.

The United States government is
not altogether strange to the role of

those who are opposed to p~aternalism

cause is shown why the letters should
not be delivered at their residences.
Until children reach their majority
their parents are their natural guar

Is in the interest of public morals and

 The United States probably would permit the Madero government to send troops through Texas and Ne" Mexico into northern Chihuahua. 1n- asmuch as the state department has demanded of Mexico to send enough troops into northern Mexico to pro- tect Americans it is assumed that the United States will cooperate with Madero in an effort to do SO The Mexican congress however, must firsl authorize the sending of the troops out of the country This was done in the Madero rebellion.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Officials of the state department have become proud of the characterization dollar diplomacy" first applied to their work in a spirit of derision, almost daily pointing to some illustration of the value of that work
 Today the department Is engaged in an effort to attract the attention of American contracting firms and en- gineers to the great field for eX- ploitatfo afforded by the decision of the Urugayan government to spend the enormous sum of $30,00000 in eight years for the improvement of the harbor of Montevideo.
 There is the keenest rivalry be- tween Montevideo and Buenos Ayres for supremacy in shipping. Monte video has already spent $1S,000000 to improve it's port facilities But the improvement has not kept pase with the growth of shipping and at present MontevideO carries more tonnage than any port on the western hemisphere excepting New York, though it is only half the size of Boston.
 The Argentine government is about to dig a thirty foot channel in the
 River La Plata costing millions of dollars, to enable BuenOs Ayres tc compete with the Urugayan port. The state department failed to in- | terest American firms in the com petitive bidding for the MontevideC 1 barbOr improvements in 1909 but it is
