Crime in the Country Due Principally to
Ignorance.
In the month of January, 1898, brutal
and terrible murder was committed near
Portland, Oregon. A young man only
81 years Of age beat to death an old man
with a club. At the trial of the young
man, who was convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentenced for life
to hard labor, the question was presented
before the court and jury, and by the
press 10 the people, "who was to blame?''
The confession of the young man
brought forth the question. In his con-
fession he said: II was never permitted
to go to school. I cannot read nor can
write. My father, though in comfortable
circumstances, denied my every advan-
tage of learning, being content with the
result of hard labor. Through such
treatment and example I knew only two
things-work hard and spend my earn
ings in low saloons, ETC."
There is food for reflection, fathers and
young men, Il had no chance to learn. .
It was the sincerity OF such statement
that caused the jury to find the verdict
they did, and by such verdict condemn
such treatment of children by money.
worshiping fathers. Think Of this, reflect
and conclude as thousands have done
