GOING THE WHOLE WAY.

GOING THE WHOLE WAY.
Those who disbelieve in doing thing,
by halves will find much to admire In
the measure which is about to make
West Virginia the ninth prohibition
state of the Union-in many respects
the most stringent act of the kind
ever passed In America. 1t makes II
unlawful to manufacture, sell, or give
away intoxicating liquors anywhere
in the commonwealth; forbids their
sale iby clubhouses or druggists; and
fixes q heavy penalty for their adver
tisement by circular, billboard, news
paper, or any other agency. The state
superintendent of prohibition is Great
ed, with extensive powers to enforce
the law. The statute cannot wholly
do away with the importation of in
toxicants for personal use, but it prom
ises to make the state as nearly dry
as may be. MOI does the adjustment
of the population to the severe law
seem likely to offer difficulty. It is
two years since the constitutional
amendment providing for statewide
prohibition was ratified, and one since
the legislature made provision to put
the amendment into force. In q state
whose total vote is 100000, the amend
ment passed by the huge majority Of
nearly 100000; and the newspapers of
Wheeling and Charleston do not indi-
cate that public sentiment has essen
TALLY changed. In the rural regions
it should be as easily enforced as in
the country districts Of Tennessee,
while none Of the cities are likely to
persist In the opposition lately appar-
emit In Memphis and Knoxville.

The Latest Fad Regarding Matters
Pertaining to Criminal Life

years old. II this had been true in

this is all the more certain from the
fact that there is, Of course, nothing
new in the idea that among criminals
there is q larger proportion OF per.
sons Of defective intelligence that
there is In the general population.
The matter has been the subject Of
much discussion and study; and many
persons whose business 1t is to deal
with criminals would have had their
attention turned to 1t on this account,
even II 1t did not spontaneously thrust
itself upon their notice.
Upon the actual relation between
defective intelligence and crime, there
is q great deal OF difference Of opinion

study of the question; but nowhere,
by such persons, IS any estimate made

startling discoveries are being made
about the connection between crime
and mental defectiyeness. Startling
as they are, however, they seem to
be accepted by the authorities with
q simple and unquestioning faith that
speaks volumes for their innocent
trust in whatever Is put forward In
the name Of science by persons claim
ing to be experts. One Of the latest
OF these manifestations we find detail
ed In the Kansas City Star, and tells
OF the examination that has been
made Of all the men confined In the
Kansas State penitentiary, at Lans-
ing. "This scientific examination"
We are informed, lis developing the

II this be SO, there can be no doubt
that four out of every five ~convicts
In the Kansas penitentiary have the
mentality Of boys from six to twelve
years old; and since they number sew
eral hundred, 1t must be safe to con-
clude that q similar proportion holds
for convicts in general. And sure
enough, we get a result OF the same
kind from Chicago. There the psy-
chopathic laboratory organized in cor.
nection with the Municipal court has
been examining 245 criminal youths,
Of an age averaging nearly nineteen,
and finds that IS per cent Of them

were cases Of arrested development,
corresponding to an average of eleven.

CAST MEETS At
INITIAL SESSION

The cream of Honolulu's amateur

meeting Of the cast of The Mayor
of Toxic" the musical comedy which
will be staged on the campus of Oahu
College during the carnival next
month Sonny" Cunha. who is in
charge of the music and the rehears-
ais, was present and explained the de-
tails of the production.
Mrs. Charles Crane has been select
ed by the committee in charge to
take the leading role and. while no
other appointments have been made
in the cast, it is expected that this
work will be completed within a few
days. When this is done, active re-
hearsing will commence.
Many of Honolulu's prettiest girls
were at the meeting" said Mr.. Cunha
this morning, and they have excel
lent chances to secure places either
in the cast or in the large chorus. The
Mayor of Toxic is a clever comedy
and RECENTLY met with unlimited sue
cess in New York and other cities of
the East. Judging from those pres
ent at the meeting, there will be no
trouble in securing the right material
for the production"
