Whatever may have been the effect
Of the Baumes laws in reducing crime
we are not prepared to say. It is
certain, however, that they have served
to focus attention upon the operation
of the judicial system. All men are
not alike and the same punishment, as
we see 1t, meted out to two different
men may not to them, in its effect,
be in any measure the same.
The variable length of sentence which
a Judge may impose for any particular
offense Is intended to take care of this.
but our courts are too crude to allow
of much study of individuals by the
Judge, whose training in any case is
not in this direction.

Overholster, director Of the division
for the examination of prisoners,
Massachusetts, Department of Mental
Diseases, says: THE psychiatric ap-
proach to the problem Of delinquency

admitted that you possibly have a mil

Mr.. Legge-In 1920?
Senators-Yes. That was the year
when the Federal Reserve Board began
to debate the farmer. Did you ever
know anything about farmer?

How He Views 1t.
Mr.. Legge-I have always maintained
that never in my whole lifetime, except
during the great war, has the average
farmer been able to show any actual
operating profit on his farm. Essen
TALLY, he has steadily been carrying an
actual operating loss. have always
maintained, therefore, that he needed
and deserved public remedial measures

RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause"
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall
Orderlies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the system
into the lazy, dry. evacuating bowel
called the colon. The water loosens
the dry food waste and causes q
gentle. thorough. natural movement
without forming a habit or ever
increasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipati ton.

;pect Substitution OF the concept Of
social defense, with steadily In
creasing stress on the personality of
the offender and the degree Of menace
which he represents.
Much discussion has been engen-
dered by the proposal Of Gov. Smith
of New York that the power Of SEN

an ideal, though desirable, is not
likely to be realized in the immediate
future. Already certain signs have

Mr.. Legge-Four and half per cent.
Senators-Think of that The farmer
was losing. You knew he was losing.
You were selling him agricultural ma.

NeuD England Blue Luws

In IVA the patriots of Connect
cut compelled Samuel A. Peters
(1734-1S26), a ioyalist clergyman Of
the Church of England, to leave the
colony. Peters became very bitter
toward Connecticut. He retired to
England and in 1871 he published a
General History of Connecticut %
in which he included collection
Of drastic laws which he called blue
laws and which he alleged had been
enacted by the colony Of Connecti-
cut. 1t was formerly supposed that
Peters maliciously invented these
laws. For instance, on July 6, 1854,
Senator Francis Gillette Of Con-
necticut declared in the United
States senate: II know that Con-
necticut, In the oiden times, was
libeled by a tory renegade, who abb
seconded to England to perpetrate
his vindictive falsehood, as the Blue
Law state" But later research has
revealed the fact that nearly all
the laws In the Peters collection
were at one time on the statute
books of New Haven or Connect
cut.-Exchange.
