rfsiug during the whbfe fcf’the present tentury
• » nohkhoirt the civilized world. In France it hhs
' t ral hundred per b6d : so a hut' for sev

t • een 1M0 and lf<S3. in the I'nited Srates the
riuiitial population has increased within 30 years,
relatively to the population, by one-third Crimi
nality is B uch like .insanity. Among primitive
race*, like insanity.'it is rare. But the rising
flood of criminality should not beget pessimism;
rather sheuld It spi$r us on to the great task of
r a ial betterment, as a profound thinker has ob
served Education will not rid us of criminals,
for there are already, as we know, many edu
■ ’*-d criminals Punishment-tflrfiie *as a specific--*
for crime is a failure. Botp education, ard pun
l hment are but factors in tie reformation of the
criminal. • -.,*'•
To a large extent theii'.hyd Is molded before
be is born There i* no inyryiable fatalism in
the influences that work before birth, but it does
make a great difference whether a man is well
born'and starts happily or whether^ie is beajily
handicapped at the outlet of the race of lif^-in
a wori. whether he is born free frfim vices ,of
nature or whether the contrary is the "Tact. There
is mu* h evidence to show how greatly the welfare
of the child depends on the general physical and
emotional bealti of the papentrf and that the
child's fate may be determined by sonie ernes
i. >nal trouble at conception or during pregnancy^
Take the remarkable case of Jesse Pomeroy, who,
as a boy. commifu-d *several murders of little
children with a £rutaiitv that was- fiendish, for
which he was incarcerated for lifp. iu,g,£tassachu
s-tts prison. It was v-otnuionly reported and be
L-ved tbat the bloodthirsty impulses'of the''1)3jr^
were the direct result of paretflal infltiVnces! the*
mother, it is said, having when-prdgtierJt*l>een''
• »*f i . ..
much about the shambles where her
husband, the toy’s father, was a
butcher, and the sight of the blood
having thus worked out in the child.
The begetting: of children is the
highest of ail liftman functions and
carries consequences that beggar de
scription. It. is .well, therefore, to re
member .that every falling away from
health, every' new strain or break in
man or woman may: fay an additional
burden on a . man, or woman yet un
born. . perhaps wreck a^i'fe or a suc
cession of lives
Carefully drawn statistics of 4.000
‘ criminals taken fniiif the "Elmira re
1 fonfiator?- show that drunkenness ex
lsted in the parents- ufU&'.per cent,
and probably moee^ Dr, Christian, of
the Elmira reformatory, reports that
• qf S.OrX) prisoners received there dur
ing the last eight "years 19.9 per cent.
were tuberculous. 43.7 per cent-, were
affectpd with some form of mental dis
ease. and that 37.4 per cent, were men
tally defective. Marro finds that on
an average 41 per cent, of the criirri- ‘
nals ’he had examined had a’ drunken
parent, as against 16 per cent, for i
normal persons. A large number of
’ criminals investigated, by Rossi be- .
longed to criminal families. Dr. Alli
sop,,superiTUendent at 'he Matteawan
.State Hospital for the Criminal Insane
I New- York!, is impressed with the
frequency Vrith’ which very serious
crimes, especially, tndrder and violent assault, oc
cur in the same family. Morrison reports that
among* the inmates of English industrial schools
r.l per cent- are either, illegitimates or have one or
both parents dead or are the offspring of criminals.
A further proof of the potency of heredity is
shewn by the investigations of the Rev. Dr.
Stocker of Derlin He traced S34 descendants of
two sisters who died in lS2o and found .among
them 7§ who- had. served 116 years In prison,. 164
pTostifutes.: 106.illegitimate children. 17 piipps. 142

Assuming it. then. as. proved, first that the,aim
of all criminal law and procedure is public protec- '
tion against crime, and. second, that criminal ten- j
dencies as well as. virtuous tendene’es are trans
mitted by inheritance, does there not follow, as the
night-tie day. the .logical conclusion that criminals
Ought not to be allowed to propagate their species?
X
Dy‘ "criminal” is meant, of course, that class
best described as “instinctive criminals.” who have
an • instinctive propensity to "crime and to whom
many authorities refer as" ■“born” or “congenital
■ criminals" and who are possessed of an ingrained
malignity o£ disposition-' ’
4 j If. then. it has been shown that heredity is the
n\ojt potent soureg - of _ crime and that society1
should protebl itself hx preventing - the* further
breeding of criminals, ‘bow may society accomplish
this? ’ • 1 ‘ : '• ' I
Various method? !haxe. been suggested, among
them .a rigid regulation of marriage,, which, shall
prohibit the gPipiinal from mating. "segregation or
colonization, of the criminal, and vasectomy. It
may be- possible .by legislariotr to diminish mar
riage. but doobtless the effect would be to Increase
the number-'-of aj#gitiHiates._ thus- augmenting in- ,
stead of diminishing thfi ‘'mischief.” The segrega
tion or ‘^colonization” of the. criminal, thus, making !
impossible the commingjing "of the sexes. Is ap
proved chiefly by those who have apparently never
known of vasectotwy As a matter of fact, it has
been tried by-the daw for a.time to which the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary—for i
what else is it than imprisonment within four
walls' and^as this not already proved its ineffi
ciency? • ; .. .; . *" " " ‘ " "
Coftnnl. -then .to vasectomy, 'a subject in which
■ an increasing'*'number of state legislatures is be
coming interested, the physician furnishes a meth
od of stefilizing the criminal.
This method is in actual -operation in at least
one state. In Mareh. 1907, the Indiana legislature
passed a bill authorizing sterilization.
There appears to be a wonderful unanimity of
favoring opinion as to the advisability of the steri
lization of criminals and the, prevention of their
further propagation. *•«-.-,* ...

Joseph O. Cannon of Danville is not the only
Illinoisan In -Washington who has a fight with in
surgents on hla hands The auti-Cannog tevoluu
tlon had Just boiled down to a near r-onrel stage
when the rebellion against the other distinguished
representative cf 'he Sucker state broke forth
with renewed activity.
It Is Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Bloomington,
which Is not so very far from Danville as the
crow flies, who hasT a bhttle on her har.da, and
from the way women1 fight when they cnce get
started Mrs. Scott seems to b* in for a real war.
Mrs. Scott Is the president-general of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, an organization
which Includes in it6 membership some of the
best women In the United States. No feminine
society has a handsomer lot of members and none
mn ciaun a more intellectual n-.emoersuip, out cnese nanasome ana intellec
tual women have shown In days gone by that they will fight hard for what
they think is right. .. \ ,
Mrs. Scott succeeded Mrs. Donald McLean as president-genera. Mrs.
McLean ruled the daughters with an Iren hand Mrs. McLean was the sort
of woman w ho could do such a thing with .the nicest show of grace.
Some time ago Mrs. Scott wrote a letter to Mrs. Martha R Wilcox,
recording set-rotary general of the D. A R., and Instructed her to discharge
Miss Agnes Gerald, a clerk in her department. Mrs Scott charged that Miss
Gerald was insubordinate.
Mrs. Wilcox, in the politest of terms, replied that Miss Gerald would not
.be discharged, and sht questioned the president-general's right to order the
cutting. oC of the young clerk. That was all that was needed. The D. A. R
w ifi be' in session before long in its handsome new building In the capital.
Some members of congress say they intend to attend the sessions to see what
a real fight is like. as. they predict, the recent battle against Cannon will
rank as a mere 'ter. party" in comparison with what will happen when the
Gerald matter comes up for adjudication.
HOUSE’S BUND CHAPLAIN
No matter how bitter a fight may be pending;
no matter what enmity, personal or political, may
exist between members, the house of represents- j
tives in Washington, always begins its day's pro
ceedings with prayer. ~
"And a blind man shall lead them "
This quotation may properly be applied to the .
lower branch of congress, as Rev. Henry Noble
Couden. chaplain of the house, is blind. His pop
ularity with the members of the house is the
cause of much comment in Washington. The
blind clergyman knows scores of the members by
the sound ot their voices cr a certain pressure of
the hand. His prayers are fervent, and as he
calls upon the Great Ruler to guide the members
in their work for the nation the bouse is as still
as the proverbial graveyard, even though a storm
may be ►rearing which may lean certain members almost to blt^s. On the
morning that the big fight to oust Speaker Cannon from the rulfs committee
was stt ted. Rev. Mr Ctmdtn prayed for divine guidance and called upon God
to show.the nation's lawmakers the right path
Rev. Mr. Couden was made chaplain of the house In 1SS3. He was born
in Marshall county, ind.. in 1S43 He is a nephew of !^oah Noble, a former
governor of Indiana. He relates that, although he does not recall the inci
dent. Gov. Noble came up to Marshall county when he (Mr. Couden* was a
baby, anu insisted that the youngster should be named Henry Clay Couden.
But the father of tie infant objected and insisted on the name Noah Noble
‘Couden. The wrangle over a name was ended by a compromise which gave
the baby the name Henry Noble Couden. the Henry to represent Clay and
the Noble to represent .tfct* governor.
He served ia.the Union army from 1SS1 to 1S63. when he was honorably
discharged by teason. of wound received in Rattle" which destroyed the
sight of both eves.
CLARK BELIEVES IN HOBBY
When Champ Clark retires from congress— he
has no intention of doing so right away, for he
considers his chances for the speakership better
than ever—he intends to turn author. The Mis
sourian who leads the Democrats in the house
will write a bock entitled "The Curiosities of
American History and Whaf Due Vote Can Do.”
History is Champ Clark's hobby. He hobbies
-principally... toward the-.history of the United
States, and it is the .strange things he has dis
covered in the history of this country that will
furnish the gfeat pan of his book He-spoke of
some of these things before the National Press
club in Washington several nights ago. Always
an interesting talker. Mr. Clark soon had his au
' dience in close attention.. . .
"I frequently thought,” he sa'd. "that a man
- ' 1"-emu, muv Cl uttvii
might write a very interesting book, called 'The Curiosities of History.’ and
if my life is lengthened after I retire to private life. I think I shall try my
hand at it. For instance, it has become the common law in the t'nited States
that a man shall have only two terms in the White House. There have never
been but four men who could have gotten more .thau two. Washington held
two-and refused a third, and as good luck would have it. John Adams could
not get two. s
^‘Jeflerson got two and confirmed Washington’s example. Andrew Jack
son got two and Theodore Roosevelt got two. and each confirmed that ex
ample. and I make the prediction that ho' man will ever sit three terms in
the White House until this republic is on-its last legs.
•‘1 believe that the hobbyists, the fanatics, the cranks and even the mono- ’
maniacs have been tire motive -power in the world's progres#. I do not care
how ridiculous they may seem to us. 1 believe that to be the truth."
RUSSIAN DUMA’S SPEAKER
The Russian duma has given its speakership
into the hands of a practical, hard-working busi
ness man in electing Alexander Gautchkoff to
that important office.
Speaker Goutchkoff is widely known in com
mercial circles for bis activity in pushing Rus
'%ian goods into tlie' far eastern market. Espe
cially is he known as the representative of Mos
cow industrial interests which are finding them
selves crowded out by American and Japanese
trade aggression.
It is believed, therefore, that he will make it
his business to stiffen Russia's backbone in the
Manchurian railroad question, and it is conceded
that he has both the ability and the opportunity
to do so
As speaker he has the right of direct access to
the c?ar, and It is thought that he has already given the monarch some
respectful but aggressive talks.
Speaker GoutchkofT is almost American in his craving for accurate first
hand knowledge. He went to the front in the Russo-Japanese war to educate
himself concerning the far east, and he lived in Japan for. many months to
familiarize himself with the trend of thought in that country.
GOutchkoff is hn Octoberist. That is. he believes in the principles of the
political party which bases,its platform on the program of moderate progress
outlined in the famous October manifesto of Nicholas.
With the czar the new speaker's relations are said to be cordial, although
it was he that denounced the grand dukes so scathingly in the duma and
caused then; resignation from important military commands.
WILLING TO TAKE CHANCES
Burden of Responsibility That Comes
witti Great Wealth Seemingly .
Had Few Terrors.
Here the lecturer threw upon the
screen the portrait of a map well
known in the financial world., ^','This.”
he said, “is one of the great captains
of finance. I do not need to mention
his name. His face is' ffemiliar to all of
you. Look at his corrugated brow, the
,'prrows in his cheeks, the pouches un
der his eyes, the deep lines about his
njoutta. That face, my friends, bears
the unmistakable and ineffaceable
stamp of care. Anxiety has maiked it j
indelibly. It shows the traces of sleep
less nights, weary days and bitterly- |
fought campaigns, with millions of dol- j
lars at stake. Success brings such a
man no happiness. Look at him! How
many of you. my friends, would change
places with him? How many of you
would ’be willing to take his wealth it
compelled to assume the terrible bur
den of responsibility tnat goes with
it?"
His hearers rose en masse.
PREPARED AT HOME
HOW PLANKED STEAK SHOULD
' . jt.t BE FIXED UP.
I A ' ____________
Sirloin Cut. About Tws Inches TMtU
Rubbed with Lemon and Butter
and Tacked to the Heated
Beard. Is Necessary,
It !s no longer recessary to go to
some famous restaurant or popular
grillroom to enjoy 'that almost mys
terious. yet artistic dish that Is the
delight of every professional chef *
planked steak. With the purchase of
a plank sold for the purpose and the
services, of a good all round cook,
plank steak can be served at home.
The steak ought to be a sirloin—a
porterhouse Is rot fat enough—and
cut about two inches thick Rv.h tt
over with lemon juice and butter, tack
'itttothe heated board and place In a
very hot oven.
After leaving ten or twelve minutes,
■draw the tacks, turn %rd tack tt again
in place, returning the o*$r for
another ten minutes' cooking.-' This
can be garnished with rice or potato
cakes, latticed potatoes, little string
beans or peas. I.amb or mutton chop*
can be cooked In the same way as the
steak, an added savortness being
given by basting them quite often
while cooking with a well seasoned
tomato sauce
Tacking meat* to the board Is rot
really necessary when the cooking
takes place in an oven, but It ia
pleasantly reminiscent of the day*
when the board was propped before
the open Are and the food had to be
tacked to keep tt from slipping off
Now for our bonne bouche—poached
eggs. Prepare the necessary amount
of well-seasoned, creamy mashed po
tatoes. With a pastry bag and tube
cover the board with wreaths of po
tato puree. Brush with melted but
ter. make slight depressions and into
each break an egg Dust with pepper
and salt and place in the oven until
the eggs are cooked and the potatoes
lightly browned *'
