mattoids are useful to society. Mr.. Mac
Donald says.
They often have altruistic but wild
theories. but generally are incapable OF
accomplishing anything. Mattoids are

most complete integrity Of the moral
sense. They differ from the insane by
less impulsiveness. general preservation
Of the affections. and greater calmness.' ~
OF :,egomania," one of the mild forms
Of mattoidism. several examples are
cited by Mr.. Macdonald. The assassin
Of the first Mayor Carter Harrison. of
Chicago. was a newsboy whose grievance
was that Mayor Harrison would not ap-
point him corporation counsel, for which
the assassin had no fitness of any kind.
President Garfield's assassin-Mr. Mac

are symptoms of mattoidism, according
to Mr.. Macdonald.
Speaking Of the study Of the normal
and the abnormal. Mr.. Macdonald point
ed out that the fundamental difference
between sanity and insanity is one Of
degree. For that reason. he said. numer-
Gus varieties Of the mattoid or crank will
be found in the indeterminate zone be-

"Persecutors' are another kind Of mat

mania for prosecutions generally arises

stated. After the mattoid chooses his
victim, due to false Interpretation OF
some event. he pursues him blindly and
nothing can stop him.
Coming to the fanatic. whom he de-
fines as an "agitating mystic" Mr.. Mac
Donald said: '
I'm the past religion was the great
field for fanaticism: to-day fsnaticism
ia most commen in the political realm.
whereas in the religious. the mattoid
claims to have a mission.
The danger from mattoids comes
when the delirium or disequibrium
OF them is increased by hunger. alco-
holism, or by seeing their illusions de-
stroyed; then their calm which distin-
guished them from the insane gives
place to impulsions. violence. and revo-
iutionary attempts. which sometimes
succeed.

Some mattoids turn their homicidal

Mr. Macdonald spent several years in
Europe. studying social pathology and
criminology both at universities and In
prisons and in conjunction with the po-
lice Of Paris and other cities. He has
for several years worked for the enact

tory for the study of the criminal. pau

State will WELD an influence which
would be impossible if each delegate
should vote his Individual preference.
"But I am more concerned lest the
fight on local issues shall result in
embittering the situation in the State
more than it now is. State politics
should not govern the selection OF
delegates and it would be unfortunate
if the delegates to Baltimore are elect

other words, we do not want a Blease

Tillman delegation, but a delegation

in my opinion, the best chance to elect

ROOSEVELT OFFICE SAYS
TO BE NO THIRD PARTY

Washington, Feb. 25.-At the ma
tional Roosevelt committee headquar-
ters here, of which Medill Mccormick
is director, the following statement
was givern out:
"Col. Roosevelt has no intention
whatsoever of forming third, Or
peoples party in the event the Chicago
convention fails to name him as the
candidate of the Republican party.
Statements recently made that the for
mer president would take such action
as stated are without foundation.
THAT such a proposition has been
made to Col. Roosevelt is not denied.
1t is stated that the activity Of the
administration nomination campaign
managers in making use of the steam
roller caused several admirers Of Col.
Roosevelt to fear the Chicago con7en-
ton would be packed and that the
popular will of the people would find
no expression there. In this event, It
was asserted, it would be well to give
the people a chance to express their
sentiments at the polls, an independ-
ent party being formed to place Col.
Rooseyelt's name before them.
From an authoritative source it
was learned today that Col. Roosevelt
did not look upon the proposition
with favor, and in effect stated that
such a proceeding was out of the
question"
