been announced that arrangements
have been completed to have tbe state

one of great Interest to criminolo

gon election returns from bis point of
view. '
It is easy to trace through the let
ter the fraternal feeling of old line
Democrats who have walked up the
hill for twenty yeara and deposited
their ballots enly to hear tbe elec
tion returns telling of defeat, and
sow when V ictory Is actually theirs
there is a feeling of rejoicing that
cannot be suppressed. The letter to
Mr. Holmes carries this feeling In
no unmlstakeable manner and Mr.
Holmes, along with many Oregon
Democrats, feels In that same rejblc
ing mood.
CWMEITS CAUSE ASD (TRE.
It is ' an establshed theory that
many if not tbe majority of criminals
are victims of defective or undevel
oped brains. Criminologists of re
pute maintain that crime Is not ex,
actly a disease but may be regarded
as an evidence of this brain defective
ness or lack of development. With
the establishment of thin theory it
would be thought that crime would
be the problem for the neurologist
aad psychologist with the brain and
mind as his field of research. But,
lirredlble as it may seem, there Is no
penal or reformatory Institution hav
iig the care of males where, accord
ing to Dr. D. C. Peyton, superintend
ent of the Indiana reformatory, psy-
I i discussing the possibilities for
the research. Dr. Peyton said: "We
account for crime deformities by
reason of an inflammatory interfer
ence with the brain cells. May not
science yet disclose that crime is but
the natural reason of tbe defective or
undeveloped brain? Wbo will under
take to point out the sharp line of
demarcation between the normal and
the abnormal; or tell where sanity
leaves off find Insanity begins?
Dr. Peyton bases his hope for tbe
success of the proposed psychological
research upon the experiments which
have been conducted successfully at
Harvard by Professor Hunsurburg.
It has been proved conclusively, that
this method of research has been po
tent In determining mental qualities,
ln detecting psychic defects and In
estimating the general state of the
central nervous system.
"We cannot hope to control and
improve the offender unless we
know him", concluded "Mr. Peyton,
"end to know hlra we must study
him his conduct, his physical and
mental makeup, the general essemble
of his qualities. This can be done,
first, in the larger field of personal
contact and Individual handling; and
second, In the psychological and path
olojrical laboratory."
