Omaha. Neb.-ln a fight lasting ten
years. Mrs. Kate A. Kehoe, OF Platte

flight the Nebraska grain trust. To-
day Mrs. Kehoe is prosperous and
successful. while the great grain men
who control the Nebraska grain trust
are lodging around In their efforts
to escape the summons server and
the federal grand juries.
The story OF Mrs. Kehoe was
brought out In the receit investiga.
ton into the grain trade In the west
before the interstate commerce COM
mission at It's Omaha session. and at
Its close the commissioners congratu-
lated Mrs. Kehoe upon the remarkable
fight which she has Just made against
the big combination.
While the fight has been going on
Mrs. kehoe has risen from a shovel

grain elevators. and from handling n

In grain parlance u shovel house. is
dealer who buys from the farmer
and shovels the grain into n ware
house. afterward shoveling It into n
railr1ad cur. instead of handling the
business through an elevator. Every
elevator man considers 1t his business
to down" shovel house" whenever
he can do 1t.
Mrs. Kehoe continued the Shovel
house" business. and in addition she
opened up an implement house. sell
ing all sorts of farming implements.
Then the grain trust got after her.
They wanted her to quit buying grain
from the farmers. She refused to give
up her business. and the trust began
work" against her. Her customers
in the cities were coerced into refus.
Ing to buy from her. She met this
attack by obtaining new customers.
Then the railroads began shutting
OF her supply of freight cars. She
was compelled to sit idly by and
watch her competitors load car after
car, while none were given to her.

1t is not difficult to trace the causes
of crime. They may be expressed in
a few general words: Pauperism, en-
vironment, physical disease. insanity.

glance almost any morning at the
faces in the Lineup" of criminals at
New York police headquarters. There
you will see the young criminal just
starting out on his career of crime.
and there you will see the old and
scared thief and murderer and all
around lawbreaker, with intermediate
specimens between the first and the
worst stages. In the faces of nearly
all the habitual criminals the pur-
suits of the men and the women can
be read like an open book. In the
faces of the younger offenders the
reader is often stopped with query.
There Is mixture of good and evil.
General Criminal Types.
New York criminal types may be
taken as general types throughout the
world, The extent 20 which this class
prevails in the United States was
shown by the complete census of 1890,
when there were 215,000 criminals, In
sane persons and paupers in aims
houses. In addition to 100000 paupers
at large in the United States. Since
then these numbers have been greatly
augmented. This nation expends
something like 5000. 100000 year to
protect the good from the bad. In
other words every honest man is COM
pelled to pay from So to IS annually

tical citizen asks: What is the rem.
edy for crime? The increase in the
United States, and especially in New
York city, shows the necessity of
some remedy. Inspector Mclaughlin
admits that the criminals are almost
beyond control in that city. and he
believes that the law is to blame for
this condition of affairs. The laws
are numerous enough, for there are in
the United States S24 anti-social acts
classified as crimes. but the case he
wishes to reach is not reached by q
specific law. The Inspector wants a
law that will provide that whoever
has been convicted of felony, OF
whoever has been convicted as pick
pocket, thief or burglar, having no
visible means of support, found loiter-
ing about public places or on the
streets and unable to give satisfac-
tory explanation of bis presence, may
he imprisoned for not more than sia
months.
On the other hand, the sociologist
will ask:
"H7w will such law prevent
crime?"
When the criminal is born. society
does nothing to prevent him from con-
tinuing criminal. In . period OF 40

social maladies.
