BLAMEs CHURCH FOR CRIME
Chicago Judge Says Courts Are Full
of Neglected Persons.

CHICAGO,-"The most staggering
fact that confronts the student Of the
criminals courts of Chicago, is that
from 65 to 20 per cent of the Grim
inals going through the courts are be-
tween the ages of l6 and % years, the
surest evidence that this city is not
developing morally as rapidly as it is
physically and mentally" said Munich
pal Judge John R. Newcomer in an
address to the Concordia League.
"One great reason for this is that
the churches of Chicago are not doing
the work they ought to for the up
building of the city and in looking out
for the young boys and men.
I'VE must not expect that the fresh
blood that comes pouring in from the
country will keep Chicago's moral
balance. The very first blood to
contract the great immoral contagion
in the wicked city, is in the veins OF
the boy who comes from the countr7,
and who does not know what confronts
him in the great city"

1t may seem that the farmer is

there to be done, but he is needed
more on the farm. He has failed in
appreciation of it, neglected to learn

And one she was all for spite.
