Look After the Boys.

In commenting on the great re-
liglous crusade that Is now being
carried on in nearly all the large
cities of the country under the au-
spices Of the "Men and Religion
Forward Movement" the Cedar Ra-
pids Gazette says there are several
hundred fathers in its city who would
do we'll to get In touch with one
phase of the movement. That phase,
says the Gazette, is the question OF
dealing with boys.
Fewer boys would get into mis-
chief, and fewer Of them would later
give officers of the law serious trou-
BILE If more attention were paid to
them in their character-forming
years. The Men and Religion For
ward Movement as expressed by the
leaders OF boys work, does not con-
template suppression or even serious
repression Of the boy. 1t recognizes
that the boy is a human being, that
Re Is brimful Of animal life, that he
likes certain sports.
The average boy likes activity; he
Is happy when he is out OF doors CIV
ing vent to the spirit with which he
has been endowed by the Creator.
I. the boys mind and impulses are
directed Alright, the boy is not going
wrong. 1t Is when boys are left to
their own devices that so many OF
them go to the devil. The boy is
easily trained II he is taken in time,
and the trainers keep on the job as
they should. The responsibility for
the failure rests largely upon pa
rents.
II the Men and Religion Forward
Movement does nothing else than i'm
press upon parents their responsible
ties and show them how to handle
boys 1t will have accomplished won
ders. That 1t will do this, If parents
will take hold OF it, and help make
1t a success, we have no doubt. The
greatest duty ever imposed upon a
man is the bringing up Of the boys
that God has committed to his care.
How careful and diligent he should
be In discharging it.

Fearful Murder RECORD.

The murder record of the United
States beats that Of all other coun-
tries in the world. That is an awful
statement to make, but 1t Is more
awful to be compelled to admit that
it is true. Some people can't under
stand why Canada shrinks from link
ing her fortunes with this country,
but If they will study the criminal
records OF the two countries they will
understand all about it.
According to the Nashville Tenne-
sean more persons have been muir
dered in the United States within the
last twenty years than were killed on
the Federal side Of the War Be-
tween the Sections. Tight or nine
persons out OF every ten thousand
are murdered annually in the United
States, or nearly one person to every
thousand.
rs. S. Mcclure, the magazine edi-
tor, is authority for these figures.
The murder rate in this country is
ten times that Of England and Ire
land and fifteen times the rate in
Canada. Why should the Northern
neighbor Of the United States have
so much better record than this coun-
try The answer Is simple. 1t en-
forces the law.
When Canadian towns vote liquor
out, it goes out, and the watchful
mounted police make the l1re OF law
violators miserable. When a man
kills another in Canada he is in
stantly arrested and promptly pun
ished regardless of his social position
or political affiliations. Rich and
poor, high and low, respect and fear
the law alike in Canada, and that
typical Anglo-Saxon attitude toward
constituted authority insures the
safety of human life.
Do we wonder that Canada should
object so strenuously to becoming a
part of our nation? ! And also Is not
our record sufficient to cause a
blush? How is it IN South Carolina?
We are sorry to say that our States
contributes her full quota to the
awful murder record Of the coun-
try, and the wholesale pardoning OF
criminals by Governor Blease is en-
couraging the carnival Of blood. Let
it be understood that sure punish
ment awaits the crime,' and we will
have fewer murders in this and all
the other States.

the gifts. II we could look into
many a home we should see the chill
dren planning some surprise on
Christmas morning for fathers and
mothers, and the parents in turn
consulting how to manage TO give
the boys and girls what they want.
1t, is this mutual thoughtfulness for
others that imparts to these Decem-
Der days a peculiar atmosphere. 1t
will soften the heart Of the crustiest
old bachelor to go into the Christ
mas shops and overhear the consul
tations among purchasers as to what

Getting Ready for Christmas.

Getting ready for Christmas makes
these weeks in december full OF
pleasant labors and anticipations.
The majority of people are not mil
lionaires. They do not have full
purses with which they can 80 to
the shops and buy their Christmas
presents, without regard to cost.
They have a little money and it re-
quires a good deal Of planning, Of
invention and loving thought, to
make it go around. Often times
the money is only enough to- buy
the raw materials, from which patti
end and skillful fingers will fashion

NOLOND0N METHODS
NEEDED IN CHICAGO
Police of Windy City Soon
Capture Armed Negro
Fortified in Barn.

CHICAGO January EARNED with a
rifle, John Wright. colored, held half a
dozen policemen at bay for an hour last
night, and not until he ran out of am
munition, was he taken from his fort
barn at 3141 South Park avenue
During the siege the negro fired sew
eral shots at the policemen, but no dam
age was inflicted. After the cessation
OF firing Lieut.. Joel Smith, with five pa
trolmen, led the way to the barn loft
and without firing a shot made captive
the besieged negro, who attempted to
brain the policemen with the rifle.
The incident was likened by Lieut..
Smith to miniature reproduction OF the
affair in London last week, in which
the desperadoes held an army OF police
men, firemen. artillery and Scot guards
at bay for several hours.
II dare say remarked Lieut.. Smith
after the episode. that six Chicago po-
licemen could have taken those fellows
in London and locked them UP. We do
police business differently over here"
The trouble started when Wright's en-
ployer, John Franklin, also colored, an
expressman. was driven out OF the barn
at the point of the rife. Franklin told
the police that Wright drank a pint of
diluted alcohol during the day.

OPPOSES BIGGER CONGRESS.
Cannon Wants Figures on Basis Of
Present Membership.

Speaker Cannon adheres to his opin-
ion that it is unwise to increase the
membership Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives.'
He presented'a request to the census
bureau Saturday for a new series Of
tables, showing the effect on the various
states of the maintenance OF the present
number Of members, which is 391.
He has been doing some figuring or
his own. and has reached the conclusion
that on this basis most, II not all. or
the larger states would maintain their
present representation.
Illinois and Ohio would stand a pos
sibility Of losing a member each. and
the Speaker frankly admits that he does
not enjoy that prospect. Even on the
old basis New York would gain two
men, and Pennsylvania would be en-
titled to one more on a major fraction.
While by no means sanguine of success.
because of the insistencs OF the smaller
states that would lose. the Speaker Will
do all he legitimateiy can to prevent
any undue increase in the membership

RUNAWAY GIRL FA|NTS
WHEN FACED BY FATHER
Annie Gordy, Seventeen Years
Old, Found by Police With
Married Man.

Annie Gordy, seventeen years old,
tainted this morning when she was taken
to police headquarters by Detectives Cox
and Berman to be held to await the ar
rival OF her father, l. C. Gordy. a resi-
dent Of Parksley, Accomac county, Va.
Shortly before the girl was found at
1422 nth street northwest and placed
under arrest the detectives arrested Hill
leary ]. McCready, thirty-four years old,
whose wife and two children are said to
be neighbors of the Gordy family In Vir-
ginia. McCready was recorded as a fugi-
tive from justice. He was arrested on
complaint Of the father of the girl. The
police say he was In this city last sum-
mer and that he accompanied an auto
mobile on an endurance run to Richmond
Mr.. Gordy reached this city yesterday
morning and consulted Inspector Board
man at police headquarters He told the
story OF the disappearance OF his dauslr>
ter from home last Wednesday morning,
saying he had reason to believe she had
come here with McCready.
1t was explained that McCready left
home to come here TO work. He is a
blacksmith, and for a year or more, it is
stated, had been selling automobiles on
the eastern shore Of Virginia. Recently
he obtained employment in an automo-
Wednesday to 60 to work.
Arrested In Apartment.
McCready and Miss Gordy, the de-
tectives learned, were at a hotel until
they rented an apartment in the 18th
street house. This morning the man
was found on his way to work, while
the girl was later arrested in the
apartment. Neither had much to say
about having come here. the only ex-
PLANTATION the man made being that
Miss Gordy wanted to get employment
"McCready leftshis wife and two
children at home when he came here
to work." said Mr.. Gordy to a Star
reporter, land since he left them they
have been looking for q letter from
him."
The father Of the girl, who is in
the oyster packing industry, says he
learned that his daughter had prob
ably come here with McCready. and he
hurried here to find her.
Mr.. Gordy was at police headquar-
tiers again this morning to discuss the
question Of getting McCready back to
Virginia for trial. He had not pro-
cured warrant for him before he
left home not having been certain his
daughter was with him. Miss Gordy
returned home with her father. Nc
Cready said he would return to Fir-
ginia without q requisttfon.
