ST4TUTE REGULATES MORALS.
District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, Points Out that Laws are
Deficient.

"Within the last decade or so there
has arisen an entirely new class OF
crime," said Mr.. Jerome in a public
statement, "crimes which do not come
within the pale of the law. In the
earlier days of American history when
man wanted to rob his neighbor he
did so by force, and there were laws
which attended to his case If he should
be detected and found guilty.
"There are no laws to cover 80 out
of 100 crimes committed every day in
this era Of high finance. In England,
France, and the countries of Europe
the necessity of safeguarding the
people against financial crimes has
been recognized by laws which have
been enacted to this end.
1.-THE trouble in this country is that
the morality of a great many people is
governed by what is on the statute
books. Thousands Of New Workers are
blind to the moral side, and only know

A great difficulty with our system Of
immigration lies in the fact that we
have no adequate machinery for
spreading over the country the influx
of new material which is constantly
arriving.
A diagram, reproduced from IIar-

centration in New York and Penn
sylvania where the poor population Is
already crowding elbows, while in the
outlying states. where immigration and
labor are needed, the yearly additions
are entirely Insignificant. This da

Secretary Shaw Gives Some Good
Advice in an Address to Young Men.

ADVICE IN an h0oESSS 10 hOuHB FAGus
"The work of the world is not being
done well. II does not improve, and
success waits for the young man who
can do ii better than others, said Hon
Leslie NJ. Shaw, the Secretary of the
Treasury, In a recent talk to young
men. do not work for the sake Of
compensation. Work for the sake Of
achievement. The man who works for
compensation wears himself out in
eight hours, but the man who works
for the sake of his employment can
work more than twelve hours day
without experiencing fatigue. You
IRE going into the busy world and
there is good pay in store for good
services. Competition is more intense
now than 1t ever was before. You
must continue to improve to get along
and the best worker commands the
highest compensation for his labors."
Leslie M. Shaw was dependent upon
his own efforts for securing an educa-
ton after he left the common schools.
He taught school in the winter and
worked in the harvest fields in the
summer. Several years he tramped
Iowa Selling ,lTult trees anu nursery
stock, and no one ever said that the
trees he sold did not come true to name
or were not as he represented them.
His energy was unbounded and he was
determined to succeed in spite of his
poverty. After years of hard work he
earned enough to complete his college
and professional course and graduated
from the Iowa College of Law. After
this he spent twenty years of untiring
devotion to business. He left the
governorship of the Hawkeye State to-
take control of the greatest financial
Institution of the world, the Treasury
of the United States.
