THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

To the Editor: In your editorial
paragraphs Of the Bird inst, you say
tina the New York authorities reporr
an increase Of crime for 1908 over
1907 in<the State of between nine n
ten thousand cases. The reason given
by them is Hard times You say
the reason is. Loss of Faith, Lack Of
Home Training. and q Desire to get
rich quick" The New York author
tiles, 1 suspect are right. Your reasons
were as potent in 1907. as 1908, yet
1908 had nine thousand more offenses
of q criminal nature than 1901. On.
the other hand 1907 was a year. on the
Whole, of Good Times and in 1908
was a Hard Year" on poor people.
1t would be to the point to ask what
faith it was tina these nine thousand
criminals lost? Faith in what? To
ave home training !necessitates a
home. But Business destroys the
homes of our people, only about
twenty-five per cent live in homes free
OF rent or mortgage. 1t Is not pos
sible to have home training, when
children and women ave to spend the
greater part of their time away from
their home The desire to get rich,
is the corner-stoife of business life.
The quicker the stone can be laid the
better. We are living under a .sNs-
tenn that breeds rascality of all sorts.
and we wondef at the brood, instead
of destroying the system. <

\ MODEL BOY.

Col. John f. BrHton, president Of
the First National San of Wilson,
pays the following beautiful tribute,Io
the memory OF Master Roney Collins,
whose first thought was ever of his
mother:
Roney Collins is dead. and in his
death j lost an unselfish and valued
friend. And you ask wherein was he

to howdy with me-. tip his cap and
favor me with a smile: this last a gen
erous expression Of good will and
friendship. In the evenings when |
had closed my Office and started home

ever so short q distance he would favor
me with his we talked bus

thusiasm was contagious. His an

honest with himself: he did not loaf

on and one side was short of players:
he stopped lust q few short minutes
and helped the weaker side in a rush

gently for the secret without favor or
partiality. He told me one day not
in words, but in the, tender expression
Of his eyes and voice as he made ref

to her, and she was his partner. The
tenderness of his feelings for her was
as refined as pure gold. He may have
had doubts about some things, but
that his mother was deeply interested
in him and expected him to succeed
there in. his mind absolutely was no
shadow of q doubt. This was the Sc

Animals Cannot Reason. But

Animals do not reason. If any one
truth has come out Of all the critical
study Of the animal mind that has been
going on since this century came in,
this IS It. Animals do not reason; they
never have reasonedi they never by any
possibility can reason. me wisest Of
them DO, indeed. get into the borderland
that separates reasoning from other
mental processes; but no living create,
except man, ever gets unequivoeally
across the line
All this, to be sure. science had made
out Ia d general way twenty years ago.
But 81 late years. beginning with LloyW
Morgan, the whole matter has been gone
over again, not By collecting more or
less authentic anecdotes. but By means
of the most carefully lewiston expert.
mcnts Animals have been placed Ia
situations where the stupidest of men
would certainly use reason, and where
the animal had every incentive and ev-
cry opportunity to use Il. In no case
has the animal done So Instead, every
time, it has attained It's end By a mental
process that looks like reason, but IS
not To-day, therefore, science not only
knows that animals do not reason; it
understands, also, the mental process
that in the more intelligent creatures.
gives rise to the fallaeions appearance OF
reason At the present time. we not
only know that no living thing except
man can reason, but we understand, in
addition, the something Just as goou
that enables other creatures to get on
without reason.--E I. Brewster IN june
