INTELLIGENT CRIMINALS.

DR.. Herman NJ Adler. an authority on
practical psychology, says that convicts
in penitentiaries show a higher average
of intelligence than the general popula-
ton. He bases this statement on the
tests made in recruiting the draft army.
which established the normal standard
of intelligence, and on subsequent tests
made in the Illinois state penitentiary,
The conclusions, he says, were confirmed
nv examination of other selected groups
This is contrary TO the present ac-
cepted estimate of criminal mentality. 1t
has often been declared in recent years,
by criminologists and social investigators,
that the average criminal was of a much
lower mental type than the average law
abiding citizen. 1t has been argued &C.
cordingly that most of the people in our
iails. work houses and penitentiaries are
there not because they are intrinsically
more wicked than the rest, but because
they are more stupid. Accordingly, the
old, traditional notion of a criminal as
a master mind" has lost standing. Must
that tradition now be revived?
Before passing Judgment on the ques-
ton, it would be well to know the pre-
else nature of the tests used. Presum-
ably they deal only with the intellect,
and do not concern themselves with those
other big divisions of mind, the feelings
and the will. Intellect by itself is col
orless. 1t is feeling and viii that give
a human being character. personality, in
dividuaGty. They involve the emotions
and the morals. How would the crimi-
mails size up in these respects?
1t has to be recognized that a person
may have an acute intellect and yet be
an emotional or a moral idist. Common
observation of criminals shows that as
a class they lack self-control. Their
moral perceptions are dull, and they
WELD easily to any emotional within.
That IS why they are dangerous. And
if they are above normal in intelligence,
while they are subnormal and nearer to
savages in their passions, their sense of
social responsibility and their power of
self-restraint, there is all the more rea-
son why they should be put and kept
where they can do least harm.

PRICE REDUCTIONS.

1t is agreed by economic authorities
that wholesale prices have declined
about 40 per cent from the high level of
a year and a half ago. Some put it al
most as high DIS so per cent, but the lower
figure will do for practical purposes, if it
is recognized as a safe minimum.
How do retail prices correspond? \
group of men representing important re-
tail interests were recently in conference
in Washington, together with government
officials They concluded that although
it would be unfair to charge that retail
ers in general were trying to maintain ex-
orbitant prices, there were some retail
ers in every community who refused to
let consumers have the benefit of the
price reductions which they themselves
enjoyed. and that such dealers were in
fuential in retarding price reductions in
general.
That conference did not agree on the
precise extent of difference between
wholesale and retail reductions. 1t ap-
pears. however. from the latest available
data, that retail prices throughout the
country have fallen, on an average, from
Is to 20 per cent. If the higher figure
is accepted, it follows that prices to the
ultimate consumer have still fallen not
more than half, and probably less than
half, as much as wholesale prices.
The law of competition will doubtless
even things up eventually. 1t always
does, in tbs long run. But il should be
recognized that in the meantime the prof
iteering minority are playing a game
which delays the general readjustment,
which is unfair to the public and unfair
to their own class, and which is likely to
react to their own injury.

Dread Old Age?

1t doesn't make much difference how
old you are II you only keep in good
health and are active. Many people ap-
pear older at so than others do at 20.
To keep looking young you have got to
enjoy good health, and do as little worry
ing as possible. Backaches, swollen joints
and legs, disturbed sleep by being com
PEELED to arise one or more times during
the night are sure symptoms of kidney
trouble, and should have immediate atten-
ton to avoid serious consequences.
SEVEN BARKS, natures remedy of roots
and herbs, is one of the best remedies to
take not only for affected kidneys, but for
liver, stomach and heart troubles.
NIiddle-aged people realize that they
cannot perform their work or move around
as fast as formerly. The intestinal organs
feel the effect of age and do not perform
their work properly. The heart palpi-
tates on the slightest exertion, and the
back aches after a days work. The
muscles and flesh get fiabby, and the
blood thinner than formerly. 1t is then
YOU need a good tonic and bowel regula-
tor-you cannot find a more reliable and
efficient remedy for these conditions than

An Enforced Sabbath.
(RutIand Herald.I

Nermont's legislation along Sunday alb
servance lines has been of a fairly liberal
character. The Durham Sunday law,
permitting amateur sport on Sunday,
with the element of gain eliminated, is
hailed by churehmen and laymen as a
step in the right direction. Nationally,
things are not so liberal.
Blue laws by federal statute or con-
stitutional amendment seem To be the
plan of what the organ of the Religious
Liberty association" calls a gigantic &C.
clesiastical machine of great influence
and power in Washington. Incident
ally. it appears that the sect known as
Seventh Day Adventists are behind the
association.
The Herald does not propose to become
attorney for any religious organization,
but 10 can see why people who deVOutty
and properly-hold that the seventh
day and not the first should be remem-
bered and kept holy have a just and rea-
sonable grievance against laws which
prescribe otherwise.
They hold, and not without reason.
that the commandment is the original
law" and that il reads as follows:
Remember the Sabbath day TO keep it
holy.
Six days shalt thou labor and do all
thy work but the seventh day is the
Sabbath Of the Lord thy God
In it thou shalt not do any work,
man servant, nor thy maid-seryant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates.
Follows the tradition of the creation.
which is more or less essential To all an
cient religions, setting up the basis for
the observance of the seventh day and
not the first.
Following down through the ages to
determine when the reckoning of time
threw the observance of the Christian
Sabbath into the first day of the week is
not essential to this purpose. Suffice il
to say that the observations of the first
or seventh is at least a matter of contrO-
versy, SO why should civil laws be passed
for the observance of disputed holy
day?
There are many excellent reasons why
they should not be passed. SeCts other
than the Adventists are affected. They
are honest dissenters. They all cite ex-
cellent scriptural authority therefor
They have a right to be heard, even
though they may be in minority
which again remains to be proven.
The plan Of the enforced Sabbath"
reformers is to force through congress
"model Sunday law" for the District
of Columbia, intending later to make it
the law of the nation. An excellent
it begins. and the reason for stopping it
is the federal constitution and practically
every state constitution, which guarantee
religious liberty.
When an enforced Sabbath interferes
with religious belief it probably violates
the first amendment to the federal consti-
tuition. Our senators and congressman
would better keep their hands off such
intiammable stuff.

THE FASHION TAX.

1t was Eve, away back in the Garden
of Eden, who precipitated the first change
of style and brought upon mankind the
tax of fashion. Eve is up to the same
old game today.
One of the members of the committee
of 16 appointed by Secretary Hoover to
investigate industrial waste makes it all
plain as follows:
We have found that there is huge
waste in the manufacture and sale of
women's apparel due to changing styles.
Who is reSponsible-the designer, the
manufacturer, the dealer or the woman
who buys?
The first three win tell you that the
purchaser demands frequent and radical
changes. The last viii assure you earn
estly she would be content to wear last
years dress if it were not "out of style"
To this horror of being out of style we
must charge the tremendous subsidy the
American public is forced to pay for
changing fashions in women's wear.
Then conscience impelled him to admit
that changing fashions have levied a tax
not only on women's attire, but on mems
also.
Thus even Biblical history repeats it
self. Here are the same old Eve, the
same old Satan, offering something new
and the same old Adam, who did not
start the thing, but took a bite of the
apple, after all. Present day industrial
waste, the speaker indicated further. is
due not only to changing styles but also
to lack of planning, inadequate stand

which William Stanley Braithwaite, lit
erary critic of the Boston Transcript,
has characterized as "one of the pro
foundly notable and one of the few origi-
