AL ESTATE

| iS By Ed Sovola"

ONE FINE DAY Supremé Court Clerk Thomas * Williams is going to have evidence in the form of an elephant come his way for storage and he'll be surprised.

Up to now he hasn't, since he only has things like tree roots, fence pickets, herbs, roots, nightgowns, shoes, old tires, Essex automobile wheels, a railroad. lantern or-two, ajar of good-Daviess County earth, and three fraternity paddles put away according to the:rules of the Supreme Court of Indiana.

Tons of Manuscripts

MRS. LUCILLE ATHEY, chief deputy clerk, refused to estimate how. many tons of transcripts . -and other records she has hauled to the basement storeroom. She started in the office as a copy clerk in 1919. ;

Looking over an old battery case, I asked the clerk and the deputy what possible use it could be. * wheels of justice rolled over the man who beat a friend on the head with the battery case. Even the headache that resulted was gone. Mrs. Athey merely pointed to the good book of the court and I read Rule 2, Section 24: “Parties will be entitled to the possession of the transcript during the time limited for preparing. and filing briefs. Thereafter the transcript shall not be taken from the clerk's office by any party ‘without leave of court first obtained on written application. Possession of the transcript by any party after the expiration of the time for filing his briefs,

Reform and Rot

. By Robert C. Ruark|

NEW YORK, Feb. 22—A man named Moses once thought up a law which contained a clause calling for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and which has been in effect ever since. This is an imperfect law, since it cannot be retroactively beneficial to the victim of an eyegouging or a tooth-pulling. But you got to have some sort of deterrent to “wholesale eye-gouging and tooth-yanking, and mobody has come up with a better ‘recipe in many a thousand years. This is because man, too, is imperfect, and is apt to stay that way. The Mohammedatis, in some places. deal uniquely with thieves. They cut off their hands, This does not necessarily restore the goods to the wronged party, but at worst there is a guarantee against future shop-lifting by that particular dip. Said dip also serves as an eloquent advertise- - ment against thievery, and may even prevent juvenile delinquency in his neighborhood. Look, Mama, no hands. That is about as far as crime and punishment have traveled, since we recognized the fact that the greatest good of the greatest number was the main. point of correction. In the implausibility of reform, it was better to defer. Otherwise your street is strewn with stiffs—all innocent bystanders. I come deviously now to the .New Jersey State Commission on Sex Offenses, and its finding that treatment is more important than punishment.

New Spark-Plugs Don’t Work

THIS IS essentially fot, and proven rot, because there is no treatment for a sex offender that will guarantee to make him less a menace, short of shooting him or locking him up or improving on the old Arab formula for thieves. There is no sadder instance of a living mortal than the pervert, especially the pervert who preys

his machinery, and you can’t fix it with a new spark plug or a simonize job. You can't love him out of his perversion, or

argue him out of his perversion, because he has no logic and he flips his lid in moments of stress. This is why he kills kids and stuffs them in oat verts.

I say that there is no cure for the potential murderer-pervert because the best psychiatric) hands have been laid on lots of them, such as the mass murderer, Robert Irwin, and all--they ever get is more frustrated and more viciously a threaty to the innocents around them.

They are abnormals who get their kicks rom) the simple pleasure of contemplated murder, and one of these days they try it out for size. The assumption that they are really killing themselves, out of a weird self-abasement, is rarely of comfort to the stand-in,
