TO CURE CRIME

DR.. Vernon L. Briggs, expert on Grimm
ology, wants to fight the crime wave
exactly as we fight disease epidemics" !"
He suggests three steps as part of the
process:
/. Abolish capital punishment.
2. Sentence criminals guilty of capital
crime to life Imprisonment and let science
study their cases.
3. Establish habit clinics" in every
city for subnormal and abnormal child
ren between 2 and to prevent possible
future criminality.
1t is suggestive program. Manifestly
present methods of crime prevention are
not effective, or murders, for instance,
would not be three times as common to-
day as they were twenty years ago.
Points one and two are possible steps to-
ward reform.
AS for the third point, Give me child
until he is seven and | care not who has
him afterward," said the philosopher.
Train him in those early years to good
physical, mental and moral habits, and
the development of criminality later will
be far more rare.
1t is significant that those who have

IRRIGATION FARM TROUBLES

Agricultural conditions have been par
ticularly hard on the farmers in the west
crn irrigation projects, especially the
more recent ones Governor Shoup OF
Colorado recently wrote to Secretary
Fall asking that the government defer
the payment due this month on the Un-
compahgre project. The farmers are not
even able to pay their taxes, he says
and payment OF the money due the gov
ernment on the twenty-four year plan Is
impossible. Insistence on prompt pay
ment, he adds, would drive the farmers
off their farms and ruin many irrigation
communities. ..,u
It is proverbial that irrigation settlers
always have hard times. 1t used to De
said that the pioneers in "ditch-farmlng
always went broke and disappeared and
then new generation came in and In
herited the benefits of their hard work
and sacrifice. There has been less OF
that in recent years, owing largely to
more enlightened handling of the prob
lem. At this time, when agriculture IN
general is in distress and Washington is
busv with relief measures, those who are
toiIing to make the deserts bloom should
be shown every possible consideration.

THE ROOT OF THE EVIL

Dr Johnson, after witnessing the per
formance of famous actress said to her,
"No one. Madam, could have put more
life into the death scene than you did.
One of the favorites of the moving picture
drama of today tells us that he makes
his living by dying" and that getting
killed is a regular event in his life.
And herein doubtless lies the secret of
the successful actor, living the part, as
we'll as playing it. This is particularly
true of the film drama of today. The
screen is suitable for productions which
are not adaptable to the living stage and
it may be said that play which is
tremendous success as moving picture
would be failure on what we now style
the legitimate stage.
In former days, when histrionic art
represented the life which it portrayed,
men and women who impersonated kings
and queens and courtiers emulated them,
not only in the actual playing of the part,
but so far as it was possible acquired such
atmosphere" as would give the part the
color and aspect of reality. And this is
no less true of the men and women who
seek to excel in the film drama. 1t may
be said to be the cause of much of the
criticism which is directed against the
screen, but the majority of the plays
which are represented on it reflect the
life of the underworld. Acting is acting
and, after all, even though an audience
does not look upon the actor himself,
what it sees is the product of the living
man.
So long as the present standard of
screen production prevails and meets with
public appreciation, criticism of the con-
ditions which are responsible for it is
hypocritical. The public usually gets
what it demands and if the moving pic
ture drama has not succeeded in attain
ing its highest possibilities as a medium
of instruction and entertainment it is due
to the fact that it is a reflex of the pop
ular demand.
