common-sense procedure would be to
uncondition them from the hate they
feel already. But the fact remains that
such unconditioning, even If the theory
is universally accepted, is extraordi-
narily difficult and lacks anything ap-
preaching standardized technique.
Law and law enforcement machinery
exist for the protection of society. This
is the case even where they are in
tended to reform rather than punish.
Society is not interested in Furnishing
anybody for the sake Of punishment
alone. It is concerned only in prevent
ing repetition of acts which are danger
Gus to its welfare. A great deal of re-
search remains before there can be any
generally accepted, scientific technique
for accomplishing this end.
Even the extreme point of view that
the criminal should go entirely I'M
punished is valuable If its advocates in
their earnestness uncover supporting
facts in explaining the psychic mocha
nism of criminal behavior.
The sine qua non Of sane crime
prevention solution is a body of OBJ
jective facts. At present both schools
Of thought are simply advancing theo-
ries. Upon one theory the world has
acted pretty consistently from the be-
ginning. The other is being taken up
cautiously and doubtfully in the creation
Of such institutions as juvenile courts.
AS knowledge now stands, one theory
is about as good as the other-but the
first seems safer than the second.

A Charge Refuted.

In special report made by the grand
Jury which ended its term yesterday
the Capital is cleared of the charge
lately brought against it {; being ex-
ceptionally crime ridden and lawless.
This is the finding:
While there are numerous violations
of the prohibition law in the District
of Columbia, conditions are certainly no
worse and are probably better than those
existing in other sections of the United
States 1t Is the opinion Of the grand
Jury that Washington, D. c., Is not the
vice-ridden, lawless community that 1t
has been pictured.
Washington suffers under the dis
advantage Of being always under the
magnifying glass, as it were, Of public
attention. Whatever happens here is
brought immediately to national notice.
Whatever u said here Is broadcast to
the country at large. Legislative discus
sion Of local affairs takes place In body
that is constantly in the public eye and
particularly In the public ear. The
aldermen and the common councilmen
Of the District are ct once the Senators
and the Representatives Of the States In
Congress, and what they say regarding

Illness of the Chief Justice.

Announcement that Chief Justice
Taft. in obedience to doctors orders"
is leaving Washington for the South
for recuperation from Illness and the
shock Of his brothers recent death
causes keen sorrow in the Capital. His
health has until a few years past been
remarkably robust. He has always
borne himself in high spirits and In
excellent form. Enjoying his judicial
duties keenly, he has worked with Zest
in accomplishing the reduction Of
calendar arrears to the point Of virtu-
ally bringing the business Of the court
up to date. He has not spared himself
in this endeavor. Several years ago he
suffered from q passing indisposition
that caused 8 slackening of his activ-
tiles. but upon his restoration to full
health he went forward as vigorously
as before. The death Of his brother, to
whom he was devoted, has brought the
keenest grief to him. Now he is to
suspend all official and social activities
and rest at Asheville, where the country
hopes he will soon renew his strength
so that he may return to his beloved
sphere of usefulness and to association
with his friends.

happened so much having to do with
our Federal Government" And then he
summons to the spot upon one momen-
tous occasion or another, George Wash
ington, Jefferson, John Marshall and
so on through course of events that
are ours, that are part of our beloved
heritage, whether we know about the
laws under which we live or not. The
book Is, Of course, Of first and deepest
value to the lawyer Here Is a place
to which he will go, certainly, after he
has studied this book. But, here Is a
place besides for those of us who are
growing so deeply curious over the
resources of this city in the way of
delight and profit to all by way of the
inexhaustible wealth of varying sorts
of knowledge that is to be found In one
or another of the Government bureaus
and departments. We are coming,
slowly, to realize that this Federal City
is certainly one Of the greatest univer-
stiles in the world, replete in profound
knowledge of many sorts-scientif1c,
historical, political, whatnot. Now and
then there comes out some book, some
newspaper item, some slight survey, to
indicate that we have at hand an un-
paralleled source of information. 1.-THE
Law Library in the Capitol takes its
place, its highly useful place and its
clearly interesting place, among these
forerunners of open announcement that
we are living in the heart of a great
treasure city. But, to be plainly prac-
tical for the moment, If I were law
student, or better yet, a full-hedged
lawyer, I'd set up an acquaintance with
the library that Mr.. Williamson has
offered-quite as much in the spirit
Of the poet as in the more ponderous
bearing Of the student that he so
clearly Is.

hook-up.
Recently much has been said about
Washington in the congressional broad
casting station that has been quite I'M
warranted by the facts. Minor hap
penings have in the course of veritable
campaign Of criticism of District admin
istration been exaggerated to large pro-
portions. Cases of ordinary character
have been misstated and given the
aspect of symptoms of shocking prev
alence Of crime at the Capital. Police
incompetence has been charged ana
accepted as a fact, without proof, with
out warrant. Administrative incompe-
tence has been alleged with no justin
cation. Violations Of the prohibition law
have been multiplied in the telling In
an attempt to cast discredit upon the
Federal as we'll as the municipal ad-
ministration.
The grand jury whose term has just
expired made an exhaustive inquiry into
conditions. 1t had difficult task, par
ticularly in the correction of mistakes.
1t met and discharged that task capably

ington but to the Nation, by its inquiry

Crime and Punishment. ,

It Is unlikely that satisfactory soiu-
ton of the problem of crime and pun
ishment will be reached In our gener-
alton.
The two schools Of thought on this
subject both presented their viewpoints
at the recent meeting Of the American
Sociological Society here, and the clash
OF opinions only served to emphasize
how far apart they are.
That anti-sociai behavior should be
punished and that the more severe the
punishment the less will be the likeli-
hood of the acts seems, at first thought,
to be the common-sense point Of view.
"The burned child breads the fire" 1t
is upon this principle that society has
acted throughout history.
Upon analysis the common sense is
little less obvious. Just what does
punishment accomplish 1t tends to
associate with certain undesirable acts
certain painful consequences. It pro-
duces a conditioned fear-and cynical
philosophers have maintained that In
the final analysis morals are nothing
more than Just such conditioned fears
But the process Of conditioning still
Is only vaguely understood-and 1t u
extraordinarily complex. Punishment
may produce not only o conditioned
fear, but a conditioned hate compared
TO which the deterrent factor Of fear be-
comes insignificant. Prom this lattel
point of view the prison becomes

White-Col Hospital Plan
Raises Endowment Question

Endorsement of the idea Of a white

widespread and emphatic in the press.
Discussion of the proposed Gotham in
Stitution and the Massachusetts General
Hospital brings up the crying and spec
ulateS on the question of total endow-

IF endowment Of patients is to solve
the cost Of illness as college endowments

says the San Francisco Chronicle, 1.-The
Nation has yet long way to go. TAX
ing only those schools which have not
less than $4,000, 900 endowment each,
the funds bestowed on American COL
leges and universities run to more than
a billion dollars. It does not seem a
wild guess that it will take as great an
endowment to solve the problem of the
high cost Of illness to those who cannot
afford to meet the charges or to accept
medical care as charity" The Chro1-
icle finds the project IAN interesting ex-
pertinent" since it touches "a class
which constitutes so per cent Of the Ma
