Dr Wilson, lecturing- recently before the "Society for the Study of Inebriety," touched ou the relation of crime to alcohol, aud expressed the belief that by careful training many criminal instincts of human nature could bo eradicated. At the same time, he strongly objected to "making pets" of criminals. He tracod a good deal ot druukeuuess, as well as consequent unemployment, to laziness, constitutional laziuoss. The chairman added that other thiugs than alcoholism, led to crime, aud crime was iv the nature of man. For the perfection of crime there were teetotallers. Ninety-nine out of every hundred clever swindlers were not alcoholic. Anarchists, too, were not alcoholic.
