CRIMINALS ARE
 MERELY STUPID

wrong in handling them. They are not strong or bril- liant in any sense; if they were they would not be crimi- nals. There are no Rallies" in real life, no master crimi- nals" of any type that a com munity of normal men and women need fear.
 Most criminals" says Dr. Woods Hutchinson, after Q careful study of prisoners and their crimes, "are not,bad but are stupid" There is no such a thing as a born "crimi- nal" The unfortunates de- velop such criminality under unfavorable conditions sim ply because they are too dull witted to earn an honest liv- ing, or to recognize that hon. esty and decency are best. And "the reason why we are so prone to believe criminals brilliant persons is that we put stupid men upon our po- lice forces and on the judges benches to cope with them"
 Dr. Hutchinson presents facts and figures to back his statements. The criminals are weddings in every sense, subnormal in body as we'll as in mind and morals. The most convincing proof yet submitted comes from the eX- perimental work of prison doctors in Kansas and Michi- gan penitentiaries.
 In the Kansas prison # was found that of 900 prisoners, above the age of B, only : per cent were normal humar beings, The 95 per cent were not insane. They simply were men and women with the minds of little children. Out of 130 adult prisoners only 12 per cent passed the mental tests for children Is years oi age. Three-fourthS of all fell below twelve-year-olds in mentality.
 Embezzlement and forgery are generally considered "in- selligent crimes" yet out 0 the five embezzlerS in the prison three had only reach ed the mental age of twelve and the other two were me- tally fifteen years old. Of the eleven mature forgers, three were mentally aged g., two aged II, one aged 12 and two IS, and only three show ed the intelligence of grown men.
 Among the larceny prison CTS, only one of four had Q mans brain, and only seven had passed the mental age oi twelve.
 Of the five murderers ex amined, one passed the 15- year-old tests, two the 12- year-old tests, and one theI 3-year-old tests, and ope proved to be a mental 7-year- old. And so it ran, through | all the gamut of crime. There was no daring, intelligent, 5elf-consciouS defiance of SO ciety;; there was only pitiful dulness.
 What is the answer society should make to these incon- trovertible facts, which have been corroborated Wherever similar tests have been made Well, the warden of the Michigan penitentiary wants 10 abolish cells and build for his prisoners ordinary dormi- aries, with bedrooms and bathrooms, for groups oil

Major G. H. Muir of Regular
Army to Soon Make a
Visit.

Captain Z. II. Dunavin OF Company
A, ]. y. c., has received notice that
Major Charles II. Muir intends soon
to visit this city TO inspect the local
soldiers. The company holds drill
practice every Monday night but no
certain drill night is specified in the
letter. SO consequently they must be
IN readiness for him at any time which
will probably tend to swell the at,
tendance records until he arrives.
Major Muir is the regular officer on

SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
MAY COME LATER
Mass Meeting at Illinois Occu-
pied Listening to Talk by
Miss H. E. Vittum.
TELLS OF WOMAN'S PLACE
Her Responsibilities Resulting from
Her Acknowledgement by the
Illinois Legislature.

At the call of the civic department
of the Woman's club. Rock Island wo-
men turned out In large numbers at
the Illinois theatre yesterday after
noon TO listen to an address by Miss
Harriet Z. Vittum of the Northwest
Settlement, Chicago, who spoke on the
question of woman's suffrage, or rather
the responsibilities that come with the
enfranchisement OF women. She took
as her set subject. "Woman's Place in
Municipal Affairs" Her address was
a repetition of the talk given recently
before the civic department of the
Woman's club, report of which was
given in full at that time.
No steps were taken to form a
suffrage league, although the infor-
nation had gone abroad that such
was to be the case. The impression
prevailed among the women attending
the meeting yesterday that a tentative
organization was to be inaugurated for
more effective work and education IN
the question of public affairs and vot-
ing among the women. And this was
construed by many as the reason for
the calling Of a mass meeting of all
Rock Island women
To Make Canvass.
a member of the club, at a meeting
OF women held the previous day, an
nounced that an association was to be
launched at the meeting yesterday and
suggested that the frs, named body Of
women await developments before ef-
fecting an organization. Miss Vittum
in her talk intimated that some organ
ization is in the making. but no infor-
nation has been given out relative to
It from authoritative sources. 1t is
understood, however, that women OF
Rock Island are working with that end
in view, and volunteers for house TO
house work in every block IN the city
were called for yesterday.
Following the talk at the Illinois,
Miss Vittum again addressed mass
OF women In the lobby of the
Woodmen building, when she spoke of
the responsibilities hat come to wom-
en- with the ballot.
