the ideas of my school been accepted in various parts of the civilized
world, such as Australia and England, where a number of my sugges-
tons have inaugurated striking reforms. The indications from these
are clear and strong.
From the material submitted to me came the evidence that crimes
in Australia are.diminishing both in number AND IN GRAVITY.
How can this marked decrease of crime be explained, with all the sta
tshcs elsewhere being in contradiction! For even in Germany, one of
the most advanced Of European nations, one sees crime and derelcion
steadily increasing, sees the number of renegade criminals NEARLY
DOUBLED. I
The signal diminution in Australia may be explained on the ground
of its social reforms, for even the proetaran there stands better eco
nomically than an official in Europe. Another reason lies in the scat
tering of the people in isolated outlying farms AMI THE RULE OF,
PASTORAL. LIFE, which is little predBposed to crime, and, finally,
in the continual, uninterrupted warfare that is waged against the cor
ruption of the young. .FEtf ii
| believe now that, without self exaltation, I may venture to state
that if the ideas of my school were adopted and the social and econom-
ical reforms SIMULTANEOUSLY ACCEPTED-whcn modern
societies can nolonger repudiate-the numerous criminal classes, espe-
cialy the opportunistc criminal types, which are created out of condi-
tons, would speedily diminish in numbers. Also the congenital cnmi-
nails, whose nature impels them to transgressiols, would be reduced.
All cannot be done in a day. A series of reforms is needed, and Ee
penal. system and the administration of justice must have a fresh coin
age. Homes for destitute and orphaned children, which are now the
exception, must be made the rule. Reform houses must be installed,
and side by side with these will come a diminution in prisons proper
There must be sweeping reforms in the jurysystems, so that there will
be at least a partially TECHNICAL JURY. For long time the
punishment and trial of criminals were a species of entertainment to
Which the people were hidden. These customs have been much modi-
fed today, but certain sensational suits still remain for us a sort of
show which interests the people without awakening in general the
slightest feeling OF PITY. This in its essence is not much different
from the attitude of the middle ages, and the danger remains that this
sensationalism may spur Oh the degenerate to win notoriety through
crime. When all opportunity for satisfying lust for sensation shall
have been abolished much will have been gained for humanity and
good.
FURTHER THAN THIS, MANY JUDGES AND ATToR EYs, WHO
NOW FEEL THEMSELVES PLEDGED TO IMPLICIT SOME PUNISH
MENT FOR THE CRIME, WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY AND TRANS.
FORM THE SOCIAL REVENGE INTO A HEALING PROCESS WHICH
WILL BE FAR MORE EFFIcAcIous THAN PUNISHMENT.

the latest flop made by the depart
ment we have given up all hope and,
since the past cannot be buried and
the bridge opened for traffic, the
whole subject should be taken up by
a competent body and investigated
from top to bottom. The investiga-
ton should be public, nothing should
be overlooked; the whole truth
should come out and then let the
guilty, if there are any, pay the pen
atty. The matter should be taken to
the courts and carried on for as many
years as the old Middlesex county
bank will have been in litigation, if
necessary, in order that every branch,
every train of thought, may be fol-
lowed up and brought to light.

The Influence of
The Predatory Rich

By Rv WASHINGTON GLADDEN.. D D. Columbus. o.
"MITH respect to predatory wealth the function Of the moral
teachers is clear. 1t is their business to testify against it,
\@& TO AROUSE THE CONSCIENCE OF THE Ma
TON to resist its encroachments Has this function been
fulflled2 Very imperfechy. This is proved by the fact that this par
tcular kind of wealth has been growing of late much faster than any
other form of wealth.
When we ser. for the reason we are at once confronted with the
fact that relations of great frendliness have been gradually forming
between a number of this class of rich men and those who should have
the leadership of the moral forces. Large amounts of money have
been given by men OF THE PREDATORY CLASS to the
churches and colleges and theological seminares.
The relations thus formed have a suspicious look, but the case is
not so bad as it appears. The rise of this class of the predatory rich
has been rapid; their social and moral status was not at first well de-
fined; many of those moral teachers who have come into relations of
dependence upon them did not AT THE BEGINNING fully COM
prehend the nature of the snare in which they were being entangled.
But the case is becoming very clear.

RELATION BETWEEN WEALTH OF THIS SORT AND THE MEN
WHO STAND FOR THE MORAL ORDER is WHAT THE OLD PRoPH-

n reason, if for no other. The
bridge as it now stands has cost the
taxpayers of Middlesex county at
least $25O,0O0 1t is now necessary
to tear this structure away and build
a new one.
THE PEOPLE WANT SOMEONE
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS S25O,OOO
THAT HAS GONE.
This is a reasonable thing to ask.
A new bridge cannot be built for
nothing. Yet $25O,O0O has already
gone on the structure which must be
torn away without ever being open to
traffic.
1t is doubtful if such a situation
| ever confronted the people anywhere
in this state before.
1t can hardly be doubted but that
gross criminal negligence exists
somewhere. The people want to find
| out where. Since the news of Satur-
day, telling of the demands of the
war department, the people have lost
all interest in the bridge itself. The
thought of ever crossing the struc-
ture is lost in the demand to know
who is responsible and what is at the
bottom of the whole thing. The call
for an investigation has taken the
place of the cry for completing the
bridge. 1t is now seen that the bridge
open for traffic is something in the
dim and vague distance. There is the
smell of a scandal somewhere and 1t
is to find this out that now interests
80
Middlesex. Let the bridge stand and
rot, if it cannot be used as it is, until
we learn what that $25O,00O was
spent for.
THE TAXPAYERS OF MIDDLE
Sen COUNTY ARE THE INNOCENT
SUFFERERS IN ALL THIS DIRTY
BUSINESS AND FOR THIS THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Is
LARGELY TO BLAME.
While not relieving the old Board
of Freeholders of their responsibility
in the least degree, it was the war
department of the United States gov
eminent that approved the plans as
originally drawn. On the strength of
this approval the people urged the
work on believing everything all
right. Now, having seen the people
| spend their money, what right has
the war department to tell them that
they might as well have thrown it in
to a sewer. The work must all be
done over on a much more elaborate
scale, involving the expenditure of
hundreds of thousands of more dol
lars, which the people of MiddleseX
are supposed to furnish just as if
they had not already come up with
$500 Can any faith be put in
the war department now? What is to
hinder those officials from ordering
another bridge built on an entirely
different plan after the Il they now
demand is built? Perhaps the war
department thinks that building
bridges is a mere pastime in Middle
sex county and that dollars are as
thick mere as the mosquitoes along
the Raritan marshes. The people
have lost faith in the bridge.
THEY DEiiAND AN IXVESTiGA-
TION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

FACT!!!

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t
affects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch. and starch is
dGestcd in the intcstincs, not in the
stomach proper.

This diaStaSc is absolutely necessary
10 digest starch and turn il into grape

part of the wheat berry makes dark

readily sell dark flour, so nature

human system must handle the starch
as best it can. without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis. peri

trouble exist when We go 50 contrary to
Natures law. Tho food experts that
perfected Grape Nuts Food knowing
these facts. made use in their expert
ncntS of til" entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts. and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth. which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the

In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfectly
natural manner. without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients
Tho little sparkling crystals Of Crane
sugar can be seen on the pieces Of
Grape Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally rredigestcd and its use in
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food. and that is very common in the
human race today.
The effect of eating Crane Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discon-

very marked. The user will gain
