"Idealism in Politics” was his subject. He was honored at a luncheon at noon and attended a district meeting of the American Legion this afternoon. Without attempting to offer a solu tion. Colonel Roosevelt said that something is wrong with the farm situation in this country. He said the farmer is not getting Just re turns from his labor, not to speak of capital invested. The reason farm legislation has not been passed, he said, is because people are afraid of any great change in the economic system. "We must face the problems of prohibition and corruption in poli tics squarely," the colonel said. “Big business should not control the government; it should be run by the rank and file." Roosevelt cautioned against need lessly cutting down strength of the army and navy. "The services stand to this country as a police force to a great city,” he said, “and those who want to diminish them are sincere but wrong-thinking pacifists and the tax slackers who would lose the ship for a ha'penny worth of tax."

(International nlCBtrateJ News) CHARMS SNAKES SO VISITORS TO ZOO MA Y SEE THEM BETTER . ...... Woman Gains Fame for Ability to Care for Creepy , things London.—London's “snake woman” Is getting quite a reputation for her ability to care for "creepy” things. She is Miss Joan Procter, curator of reptiles at the London zoo, and the designer of the new' reptile house, just opened to the public. Ine Influence of Miss Procter is seen in many features of the new Section. The visitor walks from a typical London drizzle into synthetic ^ sunlight on rocks electrically heated * to 110 dcg:*'s. The purpose of the heated spots is to lure the reptiles into portions of the enclosure where they may best be seen by visitors. The stone work forming the rows of snake dens is shaped so as to serve as "snake furniture.” There are lit tle cubby-holes in w'hich the pythons coil themselves, and roughened up right tree stump to enable them to climb nearer the artificial sun. In the dens for desert snakes cacti have been imported from America. The dens are kept at an equable temper ature of 80 degrees. Zoo attendants say the reptiles! have shown pleasure in their new j surroundings. * MISS JOAN PROCTOR rrtnVnrfTT/rrrnr*._ Governor Smith’s Plan. Prom Time. The Crime commission of New York state (Caleb H. Baumes, chairman) has wrought upon United States penal codes the most signal changes of the decade. The Baumes grading of punishments for repeated felonies, topped off by life imprisonment for a fourth conviction regardless of de gree, has been the model for tight ened laws in many a state- The the ory underlying the Baumes code is that crime is disease, that habitual criminals are chronic patients. Gov. Alfred Emanuel Smith of New i York appeared before the Baumes commission and elaborated Its theory of crime still further. He made sug gestions which, if adopted, will con stitute a departure almost as notable in criminology as was the substitu tion of vaccine for leeches in the treatment of smallpox. Governor Smith proposed that the New York Crime commission be em powered to: 1. —Take away from the judges the function of sentencing convicts. 2. —Assign that function to a board of specialists—psychiatrists. crime students—whose salaries would be commensurate with the responsibility reposed in them. Governor Smith proposed $25,000, per annum each, the figure to which New York has just raised its chief executive’s pay. Psychiatry has become a resort of criminal defense. Sometimes it is invoked falsely, in desperation; some times honestly, with justice. .Judges invariably require expert advice when scientific evidence is introduced. The Smith plan would require Judges to conduct trials. Juries to find guilt or innocence, experts to make punish ments fit crimes. Designed to pro mote accuracy, the plan would make for harshness quite as often as tor leniency. "The power of the Judge to sentence to death has done more than anything else to prevent convic tions for murder in the first de gree," Oovernor Smith pointed out. If properly constituted, a sentencing board could attach rehabilitation measures toAhe penalties it assigned. Ita edicts Would range from order ing minor surgical operations, and rest cures, to the insane asylum and the electric chair. The Snvth plan advocated no tarn* 1 )ll M V\ 1MK. By Elia Wheeler Wilcox.
