ENVIRONMENT.

Do conditions make criminals? :?
The ready answer would be
"yes," but this does not fully
dismiss the subject. Environ
ment and conditions have their
effect on different people in diff
ferent ways. Certain conditions
in life would probably make
criminals of the majority Of man
kind, but some would yield to
temptation and criminal impulses
far more readily than others.
1t does not necessarily follow
that a person reared in a den of
iniquity will be wholly bad.
There are exceptions, and we
find now and then a saint among
sinners. On the other hand, we
may go into the best homes of
the land and discover that they,
too, have bred criminals. 1t
would appear that the taint of
criminality belongs not to any
particular class. We find the
greatest number of criminals
come from the slums, but not the
accomplished and educated scoun-
drel. He is the product of bet
ter atmosphere.
Therefore, to credit too much
to environment when seeking
the source from which crimi-
nails come may be in error. Look
at it as one may, it is hard to ig-
more the law Of heredity. Like
beget like' is about as near the
truth as one can get in a prob
lem of this nature, but the above
saw is not always reliable, not
withstanding the common asser-
ton that the ''sins of the father
descend to the son.
There is no greater inigma fol
humanity than humanity. Life
is not tangible. We ask whoever
claims to understand life, "What
is it?" The answer is theoreti
cal, wholly. A good man is 81
from nature and a man is bae
for the same reason-perhaps.

PUNISHMENT Insufficient.

AS time rolls On it seems to
become more and more common
to hear of bank failures. 1t is
hard to picture the distress that
follows the failure of a large
banking concern which had pre-
viously enjoyed the confidence of
thousands of people. Not alone
does the bank fail, but the clos
ing of it's doors causes bankrupt
cy to many depositors whose all
was entrusted to the care and
safe-keeping OF the institution.
The last failure of this char
acter to engross public attention
is that of the Milwaukee-Ave-
nue. State Bank, of Chicago.
The failure of this institution
caught more people of small
means than is usual in such
cases, as it seems this bank was
patronized largely by laboring
people. From all accounts these
people stand little chance of get
ting anything out of the wreck
ed institution.
The failure of this bank can be
attributed to but one man, and
that man was the president Of
the institution, Paul 0. Stems
land. He bet on horse races,
and if the truth were known,
was most likely far more of a
sport than any of his depositors
imagined. When affairs became
entangled he resorted to one
forgery after another in rapid
succession and finally fled to
realms at present unknown. The
cashier must have been party
to the crime.
If brought to book for his
crime Stensland will receive jail
sentence-nothing more. In
view of the suffering, toll and
deprivation it cost many deposi.
tors to accumulate their little
bank account to protect them
against old age or the advent o1
rainy day" such sentence
does not seem adequate for the
man who robbed these poor
creatures.
In many cases we oppose capi-
tai punishment, but in some re-
spects it seems that we coule
learn from the heathen. 1t i:
said that there has not been g
bank failure in China for a per
iod Of 400 years as the result O.
an emperial edict demanding
that the heads of bursted banl
officials be cut off.
This plan has worked admir-
ably in the Celestial" land
why might not a similar scheme
for this country be a good thing
No banker would lose his heao
unless he wilfully took chanc'
on it-there is nothing to fore
him to rob his depositors.
