HAITUAL OFFENDERS
BY H. Addington Bruce .

y FORE and more as research into crime
MI and criminals extends it becomes certain
AVA that physical or mental i'll health is
dominant factor in the making of many
delinquent. Particularly is this true in the
case of so-called habitual offenders.
In fact, so frequently has disease been
found determining element in the develop
ment of the habituaI offender that persistent
delinquency should be regarded as signal not
for summary, sentencing to longer prison terms
but for ordering a rigorous examination by
physicians and medical psychologists.
The habitual offender may be normal man
or woman, fully responsible for the offenSeS
committed. But the chances are all in favor
of abnormaty of some sort being present, and
usually abnormality of sort calling for ex-
pert curative or cuStOdal treatment
In especial the habitual offender is likely to
be found mentally defective. let cite a
few facts recently assembled by the national
committee for mental hygiene:
"Twenty-Seven to 80 per cent of the inmates
of state prisons throughout the country have
been found to be feeble-minded. Thirty per
cent of the inmates of training schools, re-
formatoreS, warehouses; house of refuge and
the like have been found feeble-mnided
"Of three hundred habitually immoral women
examined by the Massachusetts vice commits
mission, the mental defect of so per cent was so
pronounced as to warrant their legal commit
ment to an institution for the feeble-minded
connection with the municipal court of Boston
showed that S. per cent of the chronic and
habitual drinkers were found feeble minded; IS
per cent of the individuals arrested for lar
ceny were found feeble-minded; 80 per cent
of Migrants were found feeble-minded.
"Of 502 cases studio by the psychopathic
laboratory of the police department of New
York. So per cent were reported to be suffer-
ing from some nervous or mental abnormallty.
"In study of mental defect in Georgia. 81
cent of the inmates of the county laIlS
examined were found feeble-minded; 17H per
were found feeble-lninded, as were 40 As per
cent of the women inmates of the state prison
farm"
Gus cases habitual offenders are the victims
not OF mental defect, but Of mental disease
and functional nervous disorders of a character
impeing them to anti-Social behavior Others
suffer from physical ailments markedly affect
ing their power of Self-control.
Even such seemingly trivial trouble as
dental disease may have perniciouS effect on
tn behavior Several cases on record of
habitua drunkardS-One man arrested ninety
times for drunkenneSS-cured of their dipSOma-
MIA by the extracting of assessed teeth.
So that it is the part neither of justice nor
Of social wisdom to dispose of habitual often
derS by the easy method of hurrying them
back to jail. Always they should be given the
benefit of physical and mental examinations.
And | am happy to be able to add, this is
becor1in~ increasingly the rule. Though it still
is far from being the universal rule.

a PITY Hkening present-day Georgia to
~ the Golden West of 1849-a from

Telfair Enterprise adds that no shadow of
uncertainty lies on the path of the prospec-
tor in the agricultural and business resources
of this Commonwealth. He is assured,
abundantly assured, of taking out gold Sin
proportion to his energy, labor, capital or
all three" The very heart of the New
South, Georgia is at once highly developed
and wonderfully virgin field of opportu-
nifty. Ranking fourth among all the States
In total farm output, third in production of
meat, second in cotton, and first in the de-
1ectable peach, she still has more than half
of her fertile acres implanted and unhar-
rowed. A single Georgia acre, intensively
cultivated, has yielded as much as four thou
sand dollars year; and, as the Enterprise
adds, profits of three hundred to five hum
bred dollars an acre are rather common
II examples are wanted consider these:
Georgia is, indeed, a field of oppor-
tunity. AS high as $4,000 a year has
been made from an intensively cult
waited Georgia acre. Profits of $500 to
5000 an acre are rather common.
A Colquitt county man began farm
ing ten years ago, when he was twenty,
with no capital. He now owns a 500
acre farm, makes 200 bales of cotton,
SO tons of hay, plants 20 acres in sweet
potatoes, supplies cream from rs COWS
to creamery in MOultrie, sells 100
head of hogs to the packing plant and
Is beeves: A Chicago man went to
Fort Valley a few years ago and went
in debt to the. amount of $500 for
farm. Eight years later he wrote
friend he had paid off the debt, pur-
chased over $4,000 worth of live stock.
and had built farm houses and bought
implements to the amount Of $4,000
Baldwin county farmer began few
years ago as farm Iaborer and TODAY he

Story after story of the wonderful
achievements of farmers who started in

seem possible.
In common with a large element of the

The Rev. Mr.. Jones, who is 85
years old, said that he was i'll in
hospital near Balaclava when he first
met the famous nurse. She took care
of him, prayed for him and convert

her influence, he said, that after the
I war he became preacher.
She went from cot to cot with

said. ."She wrote uetters home for
us. She prayed with us. We often

She was worshiped. The men would

are told, will be converted into a veritable
Dixie Highway along which will be grouped

States. The holding of such an Exposition

is a great and seasonable enterprise offer
ing a opportunity to Southern indus

New York City being the central market
place of the earth, it is hardly necessary
to stress the Importance of an exposition of
the Souths resources and activities woven
into fabric of impressive achievement for
the inspection and study of thousands of
men from all parts of the world who are
seeking locations for industrial plants and
others who are looking for new trade con-

It is understood that many progressive
Southern concerns, equipped to handle ma

for displays at the Southern Industrial Elk

unusual agency for effectively advertising

Precipitation rolled down his brow as he
desperately chewed his pencil and stared va
cantly down at the blank sheet of paper be-
tore him. 1t was the final examination of
his senior year at college. To fail in it
meant that he could not graduate; that he
would be disgraced; that his whole life would
be ruined. Shudders involuntarily passed
through him as he realized that he was
rank failure.
The paper of the man on his left lay in
vitingly before his eyes. But he did not
glance at it. One could plainly see that he
was struggling valiantly against temptation
and, though the effort was heartrending, he
would sacrifice everything for the sake of
honor.
No, he would not copy from the man on
his left. The man on his right knew more.
