He said: mo; don't think there has
been much of variance either way.
but every day I see conditions which
tempt men to become criminals. On
this ship, for instance, or any other
steamship like this you see men and
women sitting at the saloon tables eat
ing more than they ought to and with
luxuries all around them. Not ten feet
away you see the other side-steerag sc
passengers, who are dealt out certain
amount of food and have barely enough
money to live on. When they look
through the port holes and see what
others have and they have not, don't
you suppose this tends to arouse their
spirit Of envy and covetousness? That
is what makes criminals"
