Kntered at th Pt Of fte at Richmond, Indiana. Second Class Mall Matter.

Governor Ralston Is Worried. In bis speech at New Castle last Sunday, Governor Ralston expressed himself as being worried over the increase of crime, insanity and juvenile delinquency in Indiana. The problem of how to deal with these questions he described as "one of the greatest." The Governor undoubtedly has grounds for callin attention of the state to these conditions.

If the population of Indiana's jails, penitentiar

ies, reformatories, workhouses, insane nospuait. and similar institutions were gathered together, they would make a city as large as Richmond. This is appalling enough but its real significance is discovered when we learn that this population

of sub-normal people is increasing three times faster than the state's population as a whole. In ten years, the latter has made a gain of a little more than seven per cent while the former has gone ahead over twenty-one per cent. What is the cause of this ? The Governor, according to his speech, finds it largely in heredity. "You and I must be more rigid in the licensing of men and women to bring children into the world." All must agree with the Governor that much crime and insanity is caused through people be

ing badly born. The seeds of wrong doing are often in the very germ plasm out of which they are evolved. A noted English authority has estimated twenty per cent of crime to be due to inborn defects. This doesn't mean that crime itself is born with the child but rather those handicaps which foredoom him to failure. "Bad eyes, bad teeth, flat-foot, bad throats, nose troubles and mal-nutrition predispose to crime," writes another expert. Authorities also pretty generally agree that about this same proportion of insanity is due to hereditary abnormality. But granting that one-fifth of our crime and insanity is due to inherited defects, what has the Governor to say about the remaining four-fifths ? What about the cases traceable to wrong social and industrial conditions? What about the crime

due to unemployment? What about the insanity I

due to drugs, to prostitution and poverty? What about the juvenile delinquency due to children's lack of recreation facilities, of good food, of education and due to child labor? The most innocent babe that lies in an Indiana cradle may be made into a criminal by bad conditions if chances dictates. If it is a girl, set her to work by and by for some respectable merchant or manufacturer at three dollars a week p.nd she will probably find some place in the services of the devil. If it is a boy, take him out of school at twelve, put him into an unventilated factory, sweat the life out of him, make an old man of him before twenty and he will then be

of cells, each one of which is as much a separate living creature as any man or woman. When the most complex organism begins its existence, it starts out as a single cell. This divides and subdivides. Other cells come into existence and are added, and, bit by bit," through its period of "growth," new cells keep coming into existence until the adult organism "is formed, an organism which, as was said, is in reality a community of living units.' As this process of growth continues, the cells come under the law of subdivision of labor. Some

are set aside for the purposes of making bone tissue, others make skin tissue, others digestive juices, etc.

Where tissues are needed, a large number of similar cells combine. It is in this way that skin tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and bone tissue are formed. But there are many functions which tissues cannot fulfill by themselves. Consequently they are caused to co-operate to form an organ. Each organ, the liver or the heart for instance, is a combination of tissues, each one of which fulfills a special function of the whole. Thus the organism of a man, or a brute, or a plant, is a community of individuals, each one of which does its own work at the right time. These cells help each other out. The cells in the digestive tract, for instance, supply food to the cells in the bone tissue, which have lost their

! power to feed themselves. Bone tissue cells re

ciprocate by giving support to the cells in the digestive tract.

Some living creatures have only one cell. These "uni-cellular" organisms are in the samej plight in which Robinson Cruesoe found himself when thrown upon the island. Like him they have to be their own butcher, baker and architect. But in the "multi-cellular" organism, such as' man's body, the cells live in a true community and the law of the community is that they shall work in harmonious co-operation with each other. Where they refuse to do this, where certain class

es of cells go on a strike, as it were, disease results. How to maintain order is as big a problem with the living body as it is with that larger corporate body which we call human society. There is no health in the organism until the cells work harmoniously just as there is no health in society so long as one class of individuals is fighting another class. If this is true, you will say, if the body is not a one-thing but a many-thing, a community, how is it our consciousness is not split up? That truly is a question hard to answer, the mystery which

jhas perplexed the psychologist from the begin

ning. At what point and in what way the life of all myriads of cells melts into the one life of the individual person is absolutely unknown. But that problem is not troubling the surgical specialists. They cut a colony of living individuals out of one body and transplant it into another body and keep it growing. When our politicians have developed the same skill in dealing with the corporate body of society, we will have some grounds to hope our political and social evils will be brought to an end.

The session previously was from 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock at night, but the registration polls will now be open until 9 o'clock. For performing the service at the polls the clerks receive $3 a day, and the inspectors $4 a day. For necessary traveling, ten cents a mile by the shortest distance between the official's residence to the auditor's office is allowed. ' Richmond being a third-class city, no registration for city elections is required. However, no one not registering; for the November election wil be allowed to vote, as it is the duty of the inspector and clerks to refuse any votes not registered. However, in case of sickness, affidavits may be provided, and it will not be necessary for a person incapable to appear at the polls to register.

Woman labor, child labor, adulterated food and drugs, over-work, unemployment, ignorance, disease, prostitution and alcoholism, these are the causes, as investigators everywhere are finding, of insanity and crime. What is Governor Ralston's Democratic party promising us it will do to handle these conditions? Its platform is as silent as the Governor himself. The sole evidence that the Democratic party of Indiana even knows there is a social problem lies in three platform planks which refer in a vague way to labor arbitration, workmen's compensation and liquor law. Woman labor, child labor and the minimum wage and such things are conspicuous by their absence. Governor Ralston, who is the spokesman of Indiana democracy ,is very much worried about our increase of crime and insanity. He has need to be worried. The conditions are as black as he has painted them. But the state at large will not take his worriment very seriously and it will not believe that his party is very sincere in really desiring to "get to the root of these evils," as he expressed it, until it proves its sincerity by

lance, seriously injured persons were sometimes kept from surgical treatment so long as to make recovery impossible. This was also sometimes true of serious organic troubles. In cases of appendicitis, for instance, it is often' necessary to operate within a few moments after the condition becomes acute. In such cases, the appendix becomes distended and is ruptured by a sudden jolt. Where this happens, recovery is almost impossible. Physicians had had such experiences and in order to avoid them in the future, united to ask for the paving of the street. So interested were they, a committee of doctors raised a sum of money by subscription to apply on the work. At that time, they were assured by the administration that the street would be paved all the way out. It would have been completed in this way had it not been for the remonstrances of twelve of the fourteen resident property owners between F and H Streets. It seems that these were under the impression that the property owners along the new street from II to the hospital had not paid any

thing toward the paving and protested against

Dr. Alexis Carrel succeeded, in a few instances, in transferring kidneys from one body to another and keeping them alive. Dr. C. S. Venable of Texas, an authority on skin grafting, has found it possible to transfer the skin tissue of a pig to the 'human body and have it "take" and become a normal part of the organism, three times out of four. Apart from the wonder of the skill necessary in such operations, the most interesting angle of these cases is that they so clearly reveal to us the fact that a living organism is not a single individual but a community made up of myriads

agree unanimously to having the street paved, even if it does perchance work some of them a hardship. North Tenth is an exceptional street. To have it paved means not only convenience to the residents, not only more economical hauling, but may sometimes mean a matter of life and death to some unfortunate. Because of this, the community at large feels confident these people will not insist on keeping their section of the street a dangerous thoroughfare for the ambulance. Locating it.
