Insanity As A Defense
, Increasing numbers of insanity plena and a more wide
R)ieud .Introduction of expe'rt testimony by neurologist i
in murder cases have created a new criminal problem in
tliis country. Insanity pleas are not a new thing in tha
criminal courts and neither is medical testimony in sup
port of them as a modern innovation. They did not become
ti problem until they appeared in cases where the insanity
Was not self-evident to the lay .mind. The public's inability
to comprehend an Insanity purely psychological is partially
, to blame" for 'current criticisms of the courts and for dis-
Unctions' which are being drawn 'n the public mind be
tween justice for. the rich and justice for the courts.
There seems to be universal assent to the proposition
4hat the existing situation is wrong, casting reproach upon
(both the medical and legal professions, and that some
remedy ought to be found nnd applied. But when it comes
.to the method to be adopted, there is no such agreement.
On the contrary, the views expressed are so widely diver
gent that there is bound to lie serious difficulty in secur
ing that unity of thought on the subject without which
there can be no hope for definito remedial legislation.
It is undoubtedly a public scandal that expert opinion,
involving, in many instances, questions of life nnd liberty
is a purchasable commodity. This, at least, nppoars to be
the case, when the widely divergent opinions offered under
oath upon the witness stand are taken into consideration.
And the fine distinctions drawn by expert neurologists who
habitually figure- in proceedings of this character have al
tered the whole popular conception 'of what is meant by
"insanity," or "mental disease," or "abnormality," terms
that are freely bandied from one side to another in crim
inal court -proceedings.
Thrift
Every bank nnd financial organization in the country
is advocating thrift., Nation-wide campaigns are being
launched to urge the need upon people of saving some part
of their, earnings each day in order to have a surplus for
emergencies. ' .
'" We have seen many unique plans advocated to encour
age the saving habit, but about as good a one as can be
imagined has 'been inaugurated by Floyd iMclCennon of
Ln Grande who sells li(e insurance and preaches thrift
at the same time.
lie has a. little clock, an ornament as well as a service
able utility, that he installs in the home. The clock will
not run unless once each day a coin is deposited in the slot.
The coin winds the clock and it runs until tho following ,ay.
One can readily see the importance of the clock, for it
automatically reminds the owner that he must deposit his
savings each day. To further make the plan a complete
success the key that unlocks the clock is retained by a
local bank and in order for the owner of the clock to se
cure the savings inside he must take the clock to the bank.
This means another thrift step for when once in a bank
it is the natural thing to deposit the money to a savings
account . This account immediately begins to draw interest
imd the thrift habit Is" formed.
- Every home should install one of the thrift clocks. It
is the thing Vor every family to encourage children to save.
Proper tttteiition to this clock will not only accumulate
funds for life insurance but also will lake cure of educa
tional funds' and many other family undertakings, and it
will be done with remarkable ease, for in the language of
.Julius Uoeseli, "if one saves a little each day he will soon
have something worth while."
