WHO Is THE GUILTY PERSON.
Young Men Stand Brunt Of Their
Crimes While Man Who Is Most
Responsible Gees Free.

No one knows better than the mem
who preside over oar courts of justice,
that the criminal who should be on
trial before them is, in the majority
of cases, the legalized liquor traffic.
Every day." says Judge Pinckney Of
the Chicago Juvenile court, there are
cases brought before me of young
boys who have broken the law while
under the influence of liquor. They
stand the brunt of their actions, while
the one upon whom the greater re-
sponsibility should fall goes free"
And upon whom falls the response,
bility for the legalized liquor traffic?
OF the drink-made criminal it may be
said, as good Bishop Myriel in Hugo'si
story said of Jean Vatican. This soul
is full of darkness and sin is commit
ted, but the guilty person is not the
man who commits the sin but he who
produces the darkness" In dealing
with crime then the question to be
considered is who reduces the dark
ness?
