SCOTT
RUSSELL SCOTT; frenzied financier, licurl-hrcuker, niulei'world
waster and bootlegger, was' not hisano wlien ho Hhot and killed
i, defcniselcsH dniK clerk in Cliieago during a holdup a few months
ago. i
lie waH not insiino when he escaped and eluded1 the police for
many weelcH.' 1 1 ' . '
He was not insane when indicted,
lie was not insane when brought to trial. . .
He was not insane when convicted.
Nor was he insufno four or five weeks ago, when he ebulliently
and rationally, denied the crime and placed it upon the shoulders
of his long-loHt brother. '
Jiut when everything else failed, when his own attorneys had
giVen up the ease, when fake telegrams and fake confessions failed
to secure more than a brief reprieve, Itussell Scott suddenly went
eni.y, became a pitiful victim of something new in criminal pro
cedure "cell-shock" and yesterday was saved from the punishment
the law provided through ut jury verdict of insanity.
Chicago is the most dangerous city in the world. Human life
is cheaper there than in the jungles of darkest Abbysinia. Murders
arc more frequent and convictions for murder-less frequent than
anywhere else in two hemispheres.
1 The good people of Chicago deplore such a situation. They hold
indignation meetings and clean-up campaigns and law-enforcement
rallies. But as long as jurors in thut city, do what the jurors in
thje Scott ease did yesterday, there is no relief and can bo none.
Ah previously pointed out in this column, back of the courts and
the laws, back of the power of money and the wars moral reaction,
lies public opinion which is the ultimate and controlling factor in
all Such things.
Until public opinion in Chicago reaches a point where justice
for criminals is placed above sentimentality for them, where the
feeling against crime is stronger than the feeling against punish
ment for it, such travesties on justice as the Scott verdict will con
tinue, and the most scandalous orgy of crime ever seen in the
civilized world will also continue.
No right minded person lusts for blood, even though it be in ex
piation of a bloodthirsty crime.- If this verdict of insanity meant
that Scott would spend the rest of his life in an insane asylum,
t!iei-u would porliups ho no pnrticuliif cause for complaint. ' But
everyone knows it tlocsn't mean tlmt, or never litis. )
It means thut a perfectly .snnc

that when this murder is lost sight' of in the flood of subsequent
crimes, Iho sanity never lost will be regained, and Russell Scott
will be free. ... 1,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
No Booi Cure.
I am Informed that you offered to
"end anyone a formula or medicine
for dipsomania. I would like to have
your remedy. (L. L.) -
Answer 1 have no formula or rem
edy of that kind. In fact I can assure
you that anything purporting to be a
cure for alcoholism is a humbug. If
the alcoholic victim desires to be
treated for his condition, there are
methods which may assist him toward
recovery from the disease, but the ad
ministration i of such - treatment is
always an individual problem which
requires Individual medical care,
whether the patient be treated at home
or in some institution. I have seen
some abandoned bums restored to so
briety and Industry by the Bimple
method of treatment given to the
medical profession 15 or 20 years ago
by Ur, Alexander Lambert. '. This
method is not secret and not nioro
expensive than any other medical
treatment, and any good doctor can
administer it , successfully anywhere.
I should be glad to give your doctor
a reference to Lambert's original con
tributions on this subject, but I can
give no detailod information about it
to laymen. Any notion of curing tho
dipsomaniac secretly, or without his
own co-operation is unworthy of a
moment's consideration.
Guaranteed..
Is there an appliance or limb
straightener that is guaranteed to
straighten bow legs in the case of a
young adult? (Mrs. S. R.)
Answer There are such contriv
ances, I believe, but of course no ap
pliunco will straighten bow legs lu a
person over 0 years of . age in unv
circumstances. People are too credu
lous ubout tho word "guaranteed."
They forget tho Joko which was made
of that word In tho trick legend
uuarantoeii undor the Pure r ood and
Drug Acts." The catch in that was
that so many poor goofs thought it
meant something.
Sour Mouth. '
I am a young man 17 years of aire
and In fine health except that I have
an excess ol acid in my mouth. 1
tested my saliva with litmus paper and
found It to he acid. My dentist says
my teeth decay so rapidly because of
the acid state of my mouth. I have
been drinking a solution of baklnc
soda but it relieves only temporarily.
Can you tell uie tho cause mid treat
ment of my condition? (U. II.)
Answer Normal saliva Is alkaline
to litmus but acid to phenolphthaleln.
The starch-digesting ferment (ptyalln)
in saliva is as active In digestion when
the saliva Is neutral to litmus as when
It is nlkaline to litmus. This nivalin

The League of Nations is havlnj? a

of it- Sueli jK'Oie opinion of Prof. Al
bert Bushneli JJnrt. professor of pov
urnment at Har-
"w.ti'H iinlvpisit Hn
says iu a veecnt ar
ticle: .
"No unbiased
person can deny
the pood effects of
the Leiieue of Na
tions as a means of
common purposes
and aa an evidence
that many nations
may agree on de
cisions on some
questions. Hut such
a feeling toward
the present League
JKBST? &.M?r of Nations - Is not
. . , that all tjie nations
of the world ' believe they can be
made safe by a complete international
union, sufficiently organized, and pro
vided with necessary powers suporor
to those of all the members. Kor it
assumes that Jhe world jih a whole
wants to be saved; that It can pre
sumably be saved by proper machin
ery without bloodshed, and that In the
last resort war can bo "outlawed" by
compulsory arbitration, backnd up
when neccHsary by armies and navies
and airships.
I "Who can question that the success
of a general peace movement depends
upon tho conviction of a considerable
majority of the governments of the
world, representing a large part of the
population of the world, that they will
bq better off under an International
system than on their present footing
The feeling stands in the way of world
(peace and world organization: "In-
'ternatlonal-mlndedness" Is, as yet, fur
from the beliefs and habits of tho hu
ma nrace. Many different countries
and peoples in the world passionately
resent the Idea of submitting quarrels
(o arbitration or court, which may ex
orefcto authority over tbelr heads,
t backed up by external armed force.
j "We talk about 'the world' and
('.mankind' as though there was 'a con
Heimis feeling of world citizenship and
world responsibility. As a matter of
'fact, tho world is so divided by race,
language, religion and economic' inter
ests that it Is difficult to frame a con-
Iccption of a permanent governing or
ganization of which shall fairly repre
sent the various peoples of the earth.
.Without that, no world union can be in
a position to understand everybody's
problems and to find a just remedy for
everybody's ills. .
