r ' DRUNKNESS AND INSANITY BARRED
Some of the states of the nation are awakening
to the importance of barring insanity pleas and
pleas' of drunkness as an excuse for committing
crime. In Mississippi, the legislature enacted a law ’
which .provides that insanity is no defense against
indictment for murder. However, the law makes a
provision that insanity may be used as a mitigating
circumstance. This action on the part of the Mississip
pi legislature is bound to have a wholesome effect
on legislatures of other states and aid in creating
a sentiment in favor of stricter regulations controll
ing the trials of cases where an insanity plea is en
tered. In Georgia it is common practice for crimne.Is
committing serious crimes, to enter a plea of insani
ty as a defense for the crime committed. In many
cases, the insanity plea is recognized and guilty par
ties allowed to go free on this ground. Such cases
arc growing entirely too common in this state. So
much so until the public is becoming indignant and
outraged over such procedure and unless there is .
a check made on such cases respect for the courts
will be lost and disregard for the observance of the
law will become general. Another feature which
often controls in 'trials is’ the plea of drunkness en
tered by the defendent. It is too often that such
pleas are considered seriously by the courts and the
guilty party freed on account of alleged intoxica
tion. This condition has been eliminated in Massa-
chusettes, according to a recent decision - handed
down by the supreme court of that state. In part
the decision reads:
“Drunkenness cannot be converted Into a shield
to protect from punishment following a serious
crime. Many crimes nre committor! under the stim
ulus of liquor. And the effects of liquor upon the
mind ana action of men are well known to every
body. Voluntary intoxication is never an cxcuie
or a palliation for crime.
“It would be subversive of all law and morality if
the commission of one vice like drunkenness or crime
as it is; under the statutes here, could be allowed to *
excuse another crime. “One may be perfectly un
conscious of what he is doing and yet be responsi
ble for his conduct during drunkenness. Drunken
ness is no excuse for killing another while is the act
of robbing him. No matter how drunk he r.\ny be.
and no matter what the intention may be, the law
does not permit drunkenness under ,such circum
stances to be an excuse for tho crime.”
We firmly believe that on account of the numer
ous cases where pleas of insanity and drunkenness
have been entered ana the courts have taken serious
cognizance of that alleged condition of the defend-
ont from these specific causes and granted new
trials, that such action of the courts is ’ partly, if
not. wholly, responsible for the wave of crime that
is so prevelent throughout the country. Tho crimi
nal who hns murder in his heart and is led to be
lieve that he can escape the death punishment on
such a plea is encouraged to commit murder and
trust to sentiment for freedom on the grounds of in
sanity or drunkenness. It is to be hoped that the
legislature of every state in the union will follow
the example of Mississippi and Massachusetts by
enacting legislation barring insanity and drunken
ness as ait excuse for murder.

BOY SCOUTS IN RURAL SECTIONS
The Boy Scout movement is spreading over the en
tire country in a most wondereful manner. In fact
•the boy who lives in the rural sections of the coun
try is now being given the opportunity of becom
ing a member of the Boy Scouts and enojying the
nsme. privileges and opportunities as does the boy
of the town and city. Not only are rural schools
being provided. The National Congress of Parents
than in former years, but every facility for the ad
vancement of the boy who lives in rural sections id
being provided. hTe National Congress of Parents
and teachers has planned a splendid program on
this lino of work for that association to undertake
Discussing the growth of the Boy Scouts movement
i» the rural sections of the country, O. H. Benson,
•director of rural Scouting for tho Boy Scout orguni-
^■ation, Bays:
Wr "The avereage farm family presents a firmer and
[ more united, front than any other class of family in
j file nation. In that family all of them—lather, moth-
i 1 1 . min and daughters—are engaged in working the
I farm. In the cities it is seldom any two members of
I a family have the same business and working inter-
•y#*®--The country people are intensely interested
I in their pwn work: so interested, in fact, that in
i BUmy cases they have lost sight of other things of
.which' they are in need."
While the Boy Scouts movement has been in oper
ation for only one year in the rural districts, it is
alleged that there are 150,000 members. The coun-
■ ijjy xchools have been brought into the work and in
many places, the school buildings are used bv the
Boy Scouts for their meetings. The work*of this or
ganization is most commendable and deserves the
t liberal support of the public. The field for building
and increasing the membership in the rural sections
is most inviting. Besides, .the country boy is just as
anxious for such 'training and just as well qualified
to enter into the work as is the town or city boy.
Special attention should be given to the work of
organizing the boys of the rural sections by the Boy
Scouts organization and equal opportunities given
them as that now enjoyed by the city, boys.
