SAVING LIFE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY PRES8." SIR-Lu your paper of the 5th inst., under the handing of "Hongkong Jatlings" moution is made of the bersie dead of Dr. Forster where- by he was the means of saving the lives of two occupants of a simpan which had cupsized in the Harbour. The jury very properly took notice of the brave act and have called thontten- tion of the Government to it, and in time it is probable that the gallant Doctor will receive a richly deserved Medal from the Royal Humane Society. It is to he hoped that this gallantry will not be left unrecognised as has been the case on two previ us occasions, viz. the saving of a mair at Kowloon in August, 1903, and this resene of a railing party off Wanchai

Since we do not know with accuracy who are the potential murderers, we are, on this hypothesis, compelled to regard alt men* as potential murderers.

That evil should be combatted, I agree. but contend that the causes require the greatest attention, and the causes are to be found in the category of heredity and environment.
Whether the "now-fangled diagnosis" is Fashional which I deny or not, is apart from the question; as also is the alleged danger attached to such a doctrine. The question is. whether such a doctrine is, or is not, true. That th scientific diagnosis of orimo is not fashion nhle is suficiently waswered by the fact that Capital punishment is still a law of England. That no assistance in repressing crime hus cothe from this method of diagnosing is probably due to the fact that the "new-fangled" ideas bays not yet been tried. While Editors remain un converted, and the majority of men apparently indifferent upon such questions, there is only a remote likelihood of the ideas gaining popular approval.
