No Hereditary Criminals.

inals His long experience entities
him to speak with authority, Dur
ing the past few years the same con-
clusion has been reached by other
expert crimnolOgists.
This recalls TO the writer's mind
an investigation which he made
about fifteen years ago. He was
then an official Of a state bureau Of
labor statistics, and as such 1t be-
came his duty to examine a large
number of conyicts in the state pen
itentiary One of the questions
asked related to this same matter
OF heredity as it related to crime
Almost to man the eonyicts them
selves said that heredity had little
or nothing to do with their down
fall Most OF them came from good
families in which had appeared no
criminal tendencies AS names were
not used most of the men were in
duced to talk frankly They gave a
variety OF reasons for their acts. in
which bad associations seemed pre-
dominant. Ungoyernable passion,
drink, lack Of work and like reasons
We're also advanced. Reading be-
tween the lines, shiftlessness and q
tendency to drift were two more
causes the writer himself supplied.
In some cases weakness of will and
an inability to throw off evil sug-
gestions operated.
The one place where heredity
seemed to blame was that many Of
these men were defective, either
mentally or morally. or both. They

Welcome. Gov. Wilson |!

David s. Lansden has been dele.
gated by the Democratic County
Central Committee to personally in
vite Gov. Woodrow Wilson to visit
Cairo in October and deliver a
speech from the roof Of a wharfboat.
The fact that Gov. Wilson, whom a
professor in Princeton University,
had David $, Lansden as a pupil,
coupled with the promise of the
Democratic committee to have not
less than 10000 visitors IN Cairo to
hear his speech, should make the in
yitation irresistible.
Cairo, situated at the junction of
the Mississippi and the Ohio river
and with three states almost within
speaking distance, could hardly be
exeelled as a speaking point. It's
geographical location il ideal, mas
much as the New Jersey candidate
would be able to address people Of
three states, Kentucky, Missouri and
Illinois, and it is possible that his
appearance in Cairo also would at
tract visitors from Tennessee. which
is only a short ride distant.
It is estimated that Mr.. Wilson'S
appearance in Cairo would attract
not less than 10000 visitors, and II
these figures have not been overes.
timated, II would be to his ad-
vantage to visit Cairo, as he would
not have an audience much larger in
the metropolitan cities which he
has planned to visit.

should be made to have him here
some time during the fall festival

While tho British protests clearly

bitral decisions in the event that q
more careful study Of Panama canal
act bore out the impression conveyed
by the first reading, It is in viola
ton of the Hay pauncefote treaty,
if the usual course in diplomatic eS-
change Is followed, there must be
many arguments and counter-argu-
ments submitted on both sides before
the resources of diplomacy would
be exhausted, thus warranting a de-
mand for arbitration!
A British demand for arbitration
is generally found to be sound and
beyond discussion.
