How to Improve Man-Made Judges, Courts and Cabinets
MiTs Inez Milholland, the Suffragette, Explains
Why Mr. Wilson Needs Women in His Cabinet,
and Why Judges Should
Use Psychologists to Help
Them Dispense Justice
» SHOULD like to see women Cabinet
♦♦ I officers. That was a splendid idea
* advanced by Mrs. Clara Shortridge
Folz in a letter to President-elect Wilson
advising him to appoint ‘a wise, scholarly
woman as a member of the Cabinet, for
she would bring to your council great as
sistance for the universal good of the peo
le.' The woman’s point of view should
be represented by an equal, or as n eal
equal as possible, division of the offices
in the Cabinet. Instead of one woman
there 1 should be glad to see three or four
omen, so that there would be an exact
balance of the opinions of the sexes.
Miss Inez Milholland laid aside a tlncK,
heavy looking brief she bad been trying o
master and which she confessedly louiu
baffling. The rich man's daughter who
has left off dancing to give her brain and
time and energies to public service looked
oaler than usual, and there were fine red
lines in her eyes that told of strain am
weariness. From guest of honor at New
port lawn fetes to a law clerk in dowa
town offices is a sharp change of environ
ment, but four weeks of the new locale
had not tamed her spirit nor altered her
determination to practice the criminal
branch of the law, not for dollars but
for humanity. She talked of her ideals
>f justice and statesmanship and how they
could be translated into realities with
quite as much enthusiasm as though she
had been lounging on a velvet-cushioned
divan, instead of sitting on a wooden
vival chair, all day. In the next office
e heard the authoritative voice of As
sistant District Attorney James M. Os
borne giving orders to his staff of as
sistants for the next day’s work.
“Why do you think so?" he said, corner
ing a youth who had stated an opinion
and must give therefor a satisfying reason.
“The Chief has just asked what you
were about to," Miss Milholland said,
smiling.
"My reasons tor wanting to see women
in the United States Cabinet are, first,
that the woman’s point of view will be
helpful to the country; second, that »v
have women who are as well qualified for
the offices as are the men who hold them
The portfolios are given. I think I and
others have observed, not because of spe
cial qualifications for the office but gen
eral ones. All Cabinet officers, I should
say, possess, or should possess, six attri
butes —logic, the power to trace cause to
effect, and effect to cause; executive abil
ity. the power to push things through to
a successful end; ability to handle people,
which involves, you know, insight and
sympathy; the spirit of public service, not
or selfish reasons but through zeal for the
public good; the power of concentration
and openness of mind, which would bar no
man tor his necktie or woman tor her
bonnet, nor either for race, religion or
political creed. It is a willingness to give
baking soda: mix thoroughly in a bowl;
drop the mixture on a greased tin, each tea
spoonful of the mixture 3 inches from the
others to give them room to spread; bake
for ten or fifteen minutes in a hot oven;
watch carefully, for they are liable to burn.
GRAHAM BREAD PUDDING.
When graham bread gets dry and old 1
use it for pudding. 1 cover the bread with
milk and let it soak until soft. With this I
mix 1 cup suet, 2 tablespoonfuls sugar, 1
cup raisins and 1 cup currants. Bake and
serve with hard or brandy sauce.
PRUNE CAKE.
Sift 1 pint of flour with 2 tablespoontuls
of sugar, rub in IJ/3 teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and the same amount of butter;
moisten with 2-3 cup of milk and beaten
egg; mix; puff out with the hands until about
an inch thick; spread in a square batter tin:
press into the dough a large layer of stewed
prunes, halved, with the skin side down:
pour over two or three tablespoonfuls of
melted butter; dust with sugar and cinnamon
and bake 20 minutes. ,
CUCUMBERS IN OIL.
Boil 4 pints vinegar, 15 pounds soft yel
low C sugar, 5 cents worth of black pepper
and 5 cents worth of allspice; fill a four
gallon stone jar with six-inch cucumbers cut
into round one-inch slices, then pour on I
all a hearing and to learn from all. A
person possessed of these has a sense o.
proportion, sees the relativity of things.
“Think of the women who have all tho'»
qualifications. Jane Addams, for whom my
admiration is boundless, could fill any
office in the gift of the United States. Dr.
Anna Shaw could also. Miss Ida Tarbr'l
would make an admirable Cabinet, officer
Take the office of Postmaster General
The same qualities that make a woman a
successful housewife could extend over a
larger field. The bureaucratic talent is
the same as the housekeeping talent. Mrs.
Harriot Stanton Blatch is capable of being
an efficient Cabinet officer The office of
Attorney General would require a knowl
ledge of the law. of course, and I have in
mind two women either of whom would
ably and conscientiously fill the office of
Attorney General. They are Crystal East
man. now Crystal Eastman Benedict, who
was appointed on a commission to revise
the commerce and labor laws, and Bertha
Rambaugh. Mrs. Benedict is a Wisconsin
woman and Miss Rambaugh a New Yorker.
Miss Rambaugh has the solid qualities
that render her opinions weighty as well
as brilliant, and her knowledge of the lav.
is profound. Another woman amply quali
fied, despite the enormous obstacles she
has met and overcome, who would make a
valuable Cabinet officer, is Helen Keller.”
“What do you think of creating a new
department, say one of the Affairs of
Women and Children, and placing a
woman at its head?"
"I see no reason for that. 1 consider it
well covered by the Children’s Bureau
with Miss Julia Lathrop in charge. The
affairs of women as related to children
would be included in its jurisdiction, and
the affairs of women are fast becoming
one with those of men and in my opinion
should not be separated.”
"You intend to take up the criminal
branch of the law?”
“Yes. because 1 find it ho tremendously
interesting and because there is so vast a
field for the higher usefulness there. Crim
inals are, in my opinion, morally or men
tally diseased. They should be treated as
diseased persons, cured as diseased per
sons. I believe that only about 4 per cent
of crime ts committed by habitual crim
inals. These may be considered heredi
tary legacies bequeathed to us by criminal
parents. But the 96 per cent are the re
sults of poverty or wrong environment
The other day I went to the Tombs to see
a boy of fifteen. He wasn’t a criminal,
not even by intent, but he would soon be
come one in that environment.
"My experience as a probation officer,
when I used to look after truants from
school, convinced me that ‘here is no such
thing as a child criminal. When children
run away from school it is often because
they have not had a nourishing breakfast.
Their heads ache and they cannot fix their
pint taragon; to this add I pint of olive oil
and I garlic buttons, pierced; when syrup

MARSHMALLOW DESSERT.

I cup maraschino cherries. I cup sliced
pineapple, 1 cup marshmallows and 1 quart
of stiffly beaten cream; bake or freeze, as
preferred.
MARSHMALLOW FROSTING.

water until it threads; have the beaten white
of one egg ready and pour boiling syrup on
it, beating all the time; then add eight
marshmallows cut into pieces; when cold

fore putting on the frosting.
For filling add to pound of marsh
mallows rr-’ , 'd in a double boiler the white
of one egg beaten stiff; spread this between
layers.
MAPLE CREAM PUDDING.
Put one quart of thin cream in a double
boiler with a little salt, and. when boiling
hot, add 4 tablespoonfuls arrow root dis
solved in a little cold milk; cook until thick
and smooth; then add a few teaspoonfuls
.cold milk: remove from the fire and add ..e

that tremendous force of his had been
turned into social instead of anti-social
channels, he would have been a great man.
He would have been greatly useful.

of about thirty-six, has a crude, tremen
dously strong mind, developed unfortun
ately along anti-social lines. It he had
been made to work for society, instead of
allowed to work against it, he would ha-e
been a power for good."
"Will you suggest the kind of training
that would have accomplished this?”
, First, it seems to me those adenoids
should have been removed when the gun
men were babies,” returned the young
humanitarian. "Becker and Sullivan might
have had teachers who trained them to
public service. When they got into trouble
1 feel sure the corrective influence of
an institution like the Elmira Reformatory,
or the influence of a man like Justice
Grain, would have helped them. I met him
on shipboard last summer and became
very much interested in his work for men.
He suspended sentence in the case of 350
men. Os these men <-nly five proved un
worthy. There were 345 men who had a
new chance in life and were glad to
take it.
“Are you in favor of capital punish
ment?"
No. I don’t believe the idea of ven
geance should enter into the punishment
of a grown criminal any more than a
mother should be angry when she pun
ishes her child. a criminal should he
regarded :ts suffering from a disease,
and the State as a skilled doctor who will
try to cure the disease. At Elmira, for
instance, each prisoner is individually
treated.”
"The Montreasorl method applied to
criminals?”
“That is it exactly. Signora Montea
sori has discovered that no two normal
children are alike. No two abnormal chil
dren are exactly alike. The normal chil
dren should have special teaching, and
each abnormal child needs it still more.
At Elmira I understand that even the diet
is carefully studied with a view to Indi
v’dual cases. Diet has an enormous in
fluence upon the character. Heavy foods
make heavy characters, spices stimulate
the emotions, and so on. The argument
that capital punishment is a deterrent of
crime falls to convince me. In Wisconsin
where capital punishment has been abo!
ished, crime is said to be on the increrte
yet in Italy, where it Is not practised, the
percentage of crime is very slight. The
brutalizing effect of an execution upon all
who see it, hear of it or read about it out
weight. its deterrent effects. It sows the
seed of future crime in a man’s mind.
"I should like to see it made worth a
judge's while to give up a practice that
brings him $50,000 a year to become a
judge. We cannot expect a lawyer to give
ip a President’s salary for $17,500 a year,
the salary of a Justice in JJew York
County.
“I would suggest that no one ever be
tried without at least one psychologist in
court. He knows that one mind will reflect
truth in one way, another m another, as
light reflects differently from a lake and
from steel. I met recently a doctor who
told me of a patient of his who was a suc-
man and had become the Mayor of
his city. He married, and a year and a
half later the Mayor's wife came to the
doctor and said: ‘Doctor, since you per
formed that operation on my husband*
throat lie has become a changed man. He
has become a thief and a liar and hie
temper is terrible, even brutal. I don’t
think I can liv<> with him.’ The doctor had
cut away a gland in the throat that corn
munlcati'd with the brain. The fluid this
gland supplied was missing. The doctor
told me that be supplied from a sheep the
-,ame substance that the operation had re
moved. In six months he was again a
good citizen."
