U. S. Falling Down on Job.

(Waterville Sentinel)
Bangor drys are puzzling over the
problem of 749 arrests for drunken
ness in that city for the year ending
June 80, 1920, or 4S more than in the
previous year before Uncle Sam took
hand in making the city dry. 1t
rather seems that a leak of this size
might be discovered and patched.

Newspapers Guilty OF Waste.

Notwithstanding the serious shortage
in the supply of news print paper, which
has compelled large number of daily
paper publishers to resort to the strictest
economy in consumption, there are many
wastres in the publishing business. The
mails brought to the eastern section, this
week, at least two notable instances, tho
Sunday issues of n paper in San Francisco
and one in Portland. Oregon, each issue
including more than hundred pages
Perusal of each revealed among the col
umns page after page of what may nptiy
be designated "pure rot.
But Far Western newspapers are not
the only offenders in this respect. The
large cities generally. all over the country,
afford instances of gross waste OF paper In
unnecessarily large editions, especially
on Sundays.
1t is.difficult to conceive of an effective
measure to curb this amazing extrava-
gance at such a critical time. We call 1T
amazing because it is so costly. The rates
charged for newsprint paper at this time
vary considerably, but the lowest are six
or seven times the ruling charges OF
few years ago. when conditions were
normal. These wasteful publishers. there
fore, are paying dearly for their waste,
but evidently they believe they are fol-
lowing the dictates of good business.
Government Intervention, with strict
regulation, is not assuring from any point
of view, but much good would result !.
the people would take cognizance OF the
situation and set their faces against the
productions of the wastrels. If they could
be induced, in considerable numbers. to
refuse to buy the huge and cumbersome
blanket sheets" reform would quickly
follow And by so doing they would get
better results in the quality Of contents
and avoid nuisance at home in the form
of piles of dead papers which they find 1T
difficult to dispose Of.

A Fundamental Need.

While some legislators were investlgat-
ing the workhouse and others were study
ing the School Code. the other morning,
there appeared before the judge in Munich
pal Court living example of funda-
mental need which neither justice nor
education has as yet contrived to meet.
His name is George Luke and his history
is one long series of imprlsonments Tor
yagrancv.twenty-on of them. lie is
now in the midst of the twenty-second.
If ever man attempted a job for which
he had neither the talents nor the equip
ment, George Luke did so in merely at
tempting to face life in Twentieth Century
America. Slight, slouching, hollow-eyed
and lantern jawed, he shows at glance
that something might say almost
evervthing-is lacking. Since there is
little chance that no will ever stand IN
need of a reputation, there is no harm
in thus making his portrait public. HIS
answers to the judges questions consisted
invariably in repetition of the question,
followed by another OF his own.
"Want to go to the workhouse? What
do want to 60 to the workhouse for"
''Get out OF the State if you let me 60?
What do l want to get out of the State
for?"
1t is dangerous for layman to ap-
praise anyone's neutrality-suspicious.
enough for a specialist in these days when
psychology is in it's infancy-but the very
appearance of a man like Luke recalls the
fact that wherever criminals have been
tested it has been shown that large
proportion of them are feeble-minded.
Especially is this true Of those convicted
of the more horrible crimes.
A vagrant like George Luke is not a
criminal. He is not even misft. He Is
Gull, a product which does not come up to
standard specifications of man. sys-
tenn of education which fits men and wom-
en- for places in society should be able TO
discover men and women like Luke, who
can not be fitted for any place without
being protected, as children are, to over
come their handicaps. A system OF JUS
tice which prevents crime and delinquency
should prevent such men from life of
alternating vagrancy and imprisonment.
A system of charity which provides for
those who can not provide for themselves
should see that such men are provided for.
Psychological tests at present, 1t IS
true. are very rough and ready affairs, and
the vagueness and meagerness OF their
results have brought discredit upon them
among those who claimed or expected too
much But they can detect extreme
cases of deficiency. If such cases were
detected in the schools there would be
fewer prisoners before the courts: if they
were detected in the courts there would
be fewer in the workhouse.
George Luke in the workhouse is q
ward of the State: but the fact that the
State has had to put him there shows it is
In need of better provision for him and his
kind
