There are about Sc, 900 persons OF
unsound mind in Hungary at the pres
ent day. Dr. Decsi has drawn atten-
ton to the fact that more than one
third Of this insanity Is caused by
drink and venereal diseases. He sug-
gests the following rHes for checking
the development OF mental degenera-
ton at the present day: l. Prevention
Of those who have been insane once
from marrying. 1t may be stated as a
certainty that many ~omen VINO nave
had one attack of lunacy would have
remained free from second attack
had they not married. 2. Immediate
legislation for compulsory confinement
Of habitual drunkards, who are the
greatest propagators Of lunatics and
degenerates, and who should therefore
be legally restrained from infilicting
their own vice on other human beings.
8. Prohibition of marriage by habitual
drunkards. Care In the administra-
ton Of alcohol to women, as this very
often makes the offspring drunkard
or a lunatic. 5. General reformation
Of the marriage system, with certain
health requirements. s. Prohibition OF
marriage when hereditary insanity ex-
lists on both sides. I. Prohibition OF
marriage by paraiyttcs, epilepttcs, con-
sumptives and those affected with can
Ger. s. Restriction OF the liquor trade.
9. The establishm Of intermediate
houses. SO to speak, where those SUI
fering from acute, but durable, in
sanity could be placed instead OF being
incarcerated in lunatic asylums.

Years Afterwaros ~

That, when heart forgets,
Most makes it to remember:
It's some old poignant scent rebound

the INTENT OF TH1, MANN ACT.

Times-Republican II have read with
interest the article in your last eve
ning's issue on the application BY the
federal courts Of the Mann act. and
1t seems to me that the quiet assump-
ton Of the writer Of the article that
the application Of the law by the fed
eral courts goes beyond the intent and
purpose Of congress 10 grounded on In
complete knowledge Of the act itself.
and Of the history of the law.
That the law as applied by the courts
goes beyond what was intended by Mr..
Mann when he introduced his bill Is
true beyond doubt. But Mr. Mann's
bill was not enacted into law without
large change and extension. The Mann
bill did not go beyond the inhibition OF
certain acts In connection with the
transportation Of the female beyond
the state line where the purpose was
that OF prostitution or debauchery",
or with the intent and purpose ito In
duce, entice or compel her to give her
self up to the practice Of prostitution.
or to give herself up to debauchery."
But either in committee or in the
house, in section two, after the quoted
language there were added the follow
ing clauses: cor for any other i'm
moral purpose, or "to engage in any
other immoral practice. Each OF these
added clauses appear twice in said sec
ton two. and to my mind manifest the
intention of congress to go far beyond
what Mr.. Mann had purposed in intro
ducing the bill. The constitutionality
Of the act having been affirmed by the
supreme court OF the United States in
several cases. that question is con-
cluded, and there only remains that OF
its applicability to concrete cases. /
am inclosing you a copy Of said Sec
ton two, and from its reading think
YOU will believe its scope ample to in
clude the California cases referred to
by You in the article. 1 think the
course of the federal prosecuting Of
ficers and Of the federal courts in ap-
plying the act can be sustained on well
known rules Of legal Interpretation as
we'll as on high moral grounds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Now is
the winter of our discomfort about
to be made glorious by the PUNK
of the football. Eastern teams
are now well down to practice
and the ''big nine' conference
teams of the middle west will
get down to business Saturday.
The conference rules prevent
practice before September 20, but
things will be set on fire after
that date. Taking it through and
through, a very enjoyable time is
expected to be had by one and all
during the coming season. A
large crop of new doctors came
from the colleges this year, and
all are in need of something to
do, SO the football season may
come along about just the right
time.
Taking the game seriously,
however, Harvard is looked upon
to repeat and cop the eastern
title. Harvard will have the far
famed Charles Brickley in the
lineup again, which means con-
siderable. 1t may be remember
ed that Brickley shoots drop kicks
over the bar as effectively as an
expert gunner might put them
over with a six-inch gun and
twenty PAGES. Storer will captain
the team. The veterans who must
be replaced this year are Wendall,
Felton, and Gardner. Promising
material is on hand for their
places, and, in addition, recruit
Mahan has taken the field with
q reputation for drop kicking sec
ond only to that Of Bgickley.
Yale starts a new system of
coaching this year. Howard Jones
will take charge of Ellis football
hopes for a period of three years,
and it is hoped he will establish
a system of play as sound as that
shown by Percy Haughton, at
Harvard. Heretofore Yale has
changed head-coaches annually,
except that Walter Camp retained
