Editorial Comment
A Victory Without Gain
pittsburgh Post Gazette

A tailor Of Chicago brought suit against q
furniture company because, in building new
structure, one inch of his property was appro-
priated by the defendant concern. The tailor
was successful in his suit, but finds himself
face to face with q problem more difficult than
the legal one. To organize his victory, he
must do away with the building material which
occupies, unlawfully, his inch of ground. This
consists of the outer inch of foundation work
of the new building. for the wall above the
surface conforms to the survey.
Here we have modern instance Of the pound
of flesh verdict upon which Shylock could not
act because he might take drop of blood in
the process. The tailor would better be care
full how he chops away that inch of founda-
ton, for he might imperil the whole building.
It is long distance from 1.-THE Merchant Of
Venice and the Rialto to Chicago, but this de-
cision of the court seems to have made the span

Twilight Zones and Crime
(ChicagO Tribune)

Gov. Smith of New York expressed himself
on the subject of abnormal mentality, twilight
zones, and psychoses. He was listening to
lawyers plead for clemency for Mrs. Ruth Sny-
der and Henry Judd Gray, who are soon to go
to the electric chair for the murder of the
woman's husband. Reports of the hearing said
the governor did not appear sympathetic.
He remarked that there was always an alb
normality in persons who commit crimes; that
if such abnormalities were considered legiti-
mate pleas in extenuation, then no one would
ever be held responsible.
Gov Smith may agree with members of a
certain school of psychiatrists, that the COM
mission of most crimes is in itself proof of alb
normality, but he builds very different struc-
ture on that premise.
We're the arguments Of some scientists car
ried to their logical conclusion, then the only
persons rightfully to be found guilty and pun
ished would be those for whom the law and
the unwritten law now find the most justifica-
ton. Those whose motives were obvious AMI
natural-such as the man who steals for a
hungry family, or the deceived husband or
any person suffering outrageous injury which
would move him to violence would be the only
sane and responsible criminals. The others,
the Ruth Snyders and the Crays. cropping in
the dark of twilight zone between sanity and
insanity-as some scientists, lawyers, and SEN
timentalists would have it-would be absolved
from blame and subjects for medical care in
stead of penal servitude or the death penalty.
There may be merit to the psychiatrists' ar
gument or so many sincere men would not fOS-
ter it. But with equal obviousness, in the
present state Of society, their solution is both
impractical and unfair. No sure means, ex-
cept the objective method Of the habitual GRIM
inal law, has yet been devised to separate the
criminally normal and the criminally abnormal.
It is unfortunate that the law and science
still remain 50 far apart on the question Of nor
NAL and abnormal mentality and responsibility.
Their inability to agree, when exploited BY law
yers, capitalized by hired experts, and deliv-
cred into the hands Of sentimental jurors,
causes the working Of many injustices in cases
where sanity and the degree Of responsibility
are an issue. i 4 to be hoped that some day
the law and science can find workable pro-
cedure.
Until then most people will agree with Gov.
Smith that nebulous theories Of psychoses and
twilight states propounded by lawyers for ruth
less, brutal murderers are not sufficient rea-
con for the law to stay It's hand.

chance and Smith, OF course, doesn't
"go" with the drys, and Hoover
would corral the independent voters
who demand a dry candidate. The
wet liberals would vote for Smith
and so, if the election were held now,
at least, would most vot rs who hold
progressive measures paramount
without, reference to prohibition.
Hoover, If nominated will grab
the Coolidge banjo and play heavily
on the prosperity string. He will
offer a sane, conservative and pos
sibly indefinite program of national
development along industrial and
commercial lines. Already he is
called "the Chamber Of Commerce
candidate"
The Independents supporting
Hoover insist that he would be 'his
own man." They explain that
Hoover is really very humanitarian
and forward-looking and that he has
. broad vision. They recall his as
sistance in getting the Jacksonville
wage agreement for coal miners.
Nevertheless, the progressives would
prefer a man who would fight for
q few Of the principles nearest to
their hearts, with which Hoover has
avoided contact.
Smiths worst enemies admit his
remarkable record as New York's
governor. Like Hoover, he is a
great executive and has surrounded
himself with capable advisers and
assistants. He has sponsored ex-
tremely progressive and humanitar-
ian state legislation, whereas Hoover
seems skeptical Of Legislative rem
edies.
Smith has appealed to the COM
mon man; he has upheld rights of
minorities against intolerant attacks
and has taken the progressive stand
against exploitation by water power
and other selfish interests. But
some Of the progressives complain
that he is too popular in Wall Street,
that he tolerates somewhat impure
government by Tammany Hall and
that his stand on most national prob
lens is unknown.
They want to know his views On
foreign relations, national prohibi-
ton enforcement, tariff. farm re-
lief, international ornaments, immi-
grafton and so on.
These things, Of course, concern
the pure progressives. But few of
them are likely to count in the
election if Smith is nominated.

DIET A POTENT FACTOR IN
EVERY DISEASE

Continued from Yesterday
This, the third Of q series of
articles in which am explaining
the part food plays in the cause and
cure Of all Of the common disorders,
brings US on down the alphabetical
list to the subject next in line.
Female genital arrangements
many times owe their origin to q
sluggish state Of the blood, heavy
with foreign material which con-
gests these delicate organs, and also
to pressure from intestinal gas.
Relieve the fecal and gas pressure
by an enema and see how quickly
the discomfort disappears. The
material out Of which tumors are
developed must come from food
used in excess Of the body's require
ments. The same blood which de-
posted these excuses Of morbid
materials in the organs can take
them away If given the opportunity
by reducing the quantity Of food to
the smallest necessary amount.
Fevers (acute) develop only be-
cause OF some poisoning Of the body
by toxemias, and which at times
brings up these poisons in an elm
| NATIVE crisis. Out of what can you
generate this effete material if not
from unnecessary food?
Flatulence, or excessive gas pres
sure, is perhaps the most common
symptom prevalent with every dis
ease. Most people arc literally
walking gas factories" Out of
what can you make this stomach
and intestinal gas If not from food
used improperly?
Gallstones are alkaline concretions
which form in the gall ducts or gall
bladder from the stagnation Of
thickened bile. This congestion of
bile not only produces gallstones
but also all liver arrangements. The
cause is unquestionably entirely
from using improper food in too
large q quantity. This brings on
many digestive disorders, due to the
reflex action of the gall bladder
upon the stomach and small intes-
tine, especially in the region of the
duodenum. In many cases the most
violent symptoms Of Indigestion are
due solely to an irritated or infected
gall bladder filled with thickened
bile or gallstones.
Goitre (simple) is characterized
by an enlargement of the thyroid
gland, owing to the deposit of min
eral matter from a too liberal guam
tity Of starchy food rich in these
minerals. When the thyroid is
irritated, as in hyperthyroidism, in
addition to this mineral deposit
there is an additional cause in toxic
irritation from the byproducts of
imperfect metabolism, due to die
tetic errors.
Headaches are not usually pro-
duced by anything more mysterious
than plain biliousness. It is truly
remarkable how many headaches
from which one may have suffered
for years will disapper completely
when the liver is again functioning
properly. OF course, there are
other causes, such as eye strain and
abscessed teeth; but no matter how
persistent your headache has been,
do not look for any hidden reasons
