SOCIETY AND THE WAITE CASE

The alienists testifying for the de-
Tense in the Waite murder case in
New York have little on which to
base their testimony that is expected
to save the accused man from the
chair. There runs through all the
stories of the mans recent conduct
the suggestion that it has been SIM
ulated for the purpose of producing
an impression of insanity.
1t seems agreed, from the accounts
Of his family and others who have
long known him, that he manifested
moral delinquency as a child; and
there is no reason to doubt that all
this is accurate enough. He was a
stiff-necked youth, determined to
have his own way and unconcerned
about the possibility that it might
interfere with the rights of others;
an anti-social being, incapable Of
making any concessions to the gen.
eral interest. Yet it cannot be said
that these afterthought impress
sions, naturally a good deal more
vivid now by reason of his criminal
record, make up very impressive
picture of depravity. There are
plenty of other dad boys" and they
get no more serious attention than
he did.
1t is a problem how society may
hope to protect itself against such
creatures. To say that it sought" to
have some system to determine the
tendencies of the individual youth
and either correct them or extend to
him such treatment as will render
him incapable of harm to. his fellows,
would be to urge program certain
to infiict injustice in many cases, and
to arouse such antagonism as would
make its enforcement impossible.
The public at large takes with
ample allowance the notion of the
alienists that there are in certain in
dividuals innate tendencies to VIC
iousness, which render them danger
Gus. Rather, the common belief is
that such manifestations as are OBJ
served in cases like Waite's are the
outgrowth of gradual development.
The germ of abnorm1lity may have
been there; but the individual him
self is the one, and the only one, to
be relied upon to check it's tendency
to development. That is a matter of
character-building on one side, or of
utter character-neglect on the other.
The duty Of society is comprehended
best in the requirement that parents
and teachers shall study their youth,
direct them Alright, aim to strengthen
the weak places in character, and
try to inculcate ideals that will coun-
teract vicious predispositions. After
everything possible has been done
along these lines, there will yet be
some, cases in which the worst re-
suits will be unavoidable.
