New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-11-27
SEX AND MORAL CHARACTER

Morally, the general superiority of
women over men is, I think, unques-
coarse and inadequate criterion of
police statistics, we find that, while
the male and female populations are
nearly the same in number, the crimes
committed by men are usually rather
more than five times as numerous as
those committed by women; and al
though it may be justly observed that
men, as the stronger sex, and the sex
upon whom the burden of supporting
the family is thrown, have more temp
tations than women, it must be remem-
bered, on the other hand, that extreme
poverty which verges upon starvation
is most common among women, whose
means of livelihood are most restric-
ted, and whose earnings are smallest
and most precariOus. Self-sacrifce is
the most conspicuous element of vir-
tuous and religious character, and it
is certainly far less common among
men than among women, whose whole
lives are usually spent in yielding to
the will and consulting the pleasures
of another.-Prof Leeky
The Review can hardly believe that
the Washington Post is altogether cor
rect in it's analysis of the present finan-
cial difficulty, but the following from
it's editorial columns is none the less
worthy of consideration. The Post
says: A
CHOW that the country has stag
gered along under a so-called panic
for a couple of weeks, it may be we'll
to pause and consider just what is the
matter. Is the country on the verge of
destruction? If so, it must have been
trembling on the verge. a long: time,
for there has been no new development
or disaster to cause the panicky feel
ing. What is the basis for the scare
that has caused people to take their
money out of the banks and hold it in
their fists? Now that they have their
money, where they can feel it and
gloat over it, they are beginning to
wonder what frightened them. They
are beginning to tire of losing the in
terest on their money. Every day that
they keep their money out Of active
work they are losers. AS prudent per-
sons they recognize this fact.
.When men come down to hardpan
they. cannot give a valid reason for
their money scare. They are as we'll
off as ever. The crops are big, the
railroad business is rushing, real es-
tate is solid, merchants are, forced to
order heavily to meet local demands,
and factories are running steadily on
orders reaching far ahead. What,
then, is the matter: Some persons say
it is because of the scarcity Of money.
OF course, money is not as plentiful
as it ought to bet never is. But the
scarcity has not happened within
week. Business is done on credit, and
not on coin. Credit is capable Of sex-
pansion; it is flexible and elastic.
There is plenty Of it. q
"The truth is that the money furry
of the last two weeks is as senseless a
scare as a theater crush Or mad dog
panic among shoppers. This fact is
becoming apparent to persons Of sound
sense, and they are sheepishly prepar-
ing to put their money back where it
will begin to breed interest. Foreign
investors are. Swapping up the invest
ments which Americans afflicted with
money collie threw overheard. In a
few days these Americans will be look.
ing around and wishing they had kept
their heads. They will be lucky if they
find as good investments as those they
threw over when it was fashionable to
become purple over an imaginary
danger. Z 4 3
