The Farmers Handicap.

E. NJ. Chapman In The Yale Re
view: The farmer suffers, too, from a
tendency to apply that honorable
name to every ne'er-do-well who owns
or rents two or three acres, keeps a
COW or a spawned horse, and muddles
through the year in no1descript fash
ion, attempting many things in gener-
al and doing nothing in particular. 1t
is difficult to see why this man should
be classed as a farmer at all; yet he
not only is SO classed. but too often
he is chosen as the representative
FARMER by the newspaper writer and
justice wrought is more serious than
the casual observer fancies; because
1t has initiated strongly against the
growth of anything like professional
ideals or those standards of crafts
manship without which no calling can
adequately maintain itself. The best
farmers have often felt this and with
more keenness than they have been
willing to admit. They have been

Let Us Have Patience!

II think many critics of our streets fail to
take into consideration the fact that this admin
istration has been in office only six months and
has only had the opportunity of doing street
work for the last three months" 1t is thus Mr.
Bavis, president of the board of works, met the
criticisms of the administrations street policy
recently voiced by Mr.. Blickwedel and others.
These words should be carried in mind by every
citizen who wishes to play fair with the city
officials and the city. They present facts.
During the last Zimmerman administration,
the street department was in state of chaos.
The commissioner used an absurCly obsolete
method of bookkeeping and men were employed
for political reasons. AS one student of local
conditions said during the campaign: "The street
department is political machine"
The new administration inherited this rattle
bang machinery and with it also the budget for
1914. 1t must never be forgotten that the city,
program of expenditure is fixed by ordinances a
year in advance. This means that the Zimnier-
man administration virtually still rules the finan-
cial policy of this year. Under a more scientific
cay planned budget far better street system
can be provided for.
Beyond all this, it is absurd to expect, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Bavis, that the more than sixty
miles of streets in this city could be transformed
in less than half year. The building and repair
ing of streets is slow work. And when so many
of them were not built right to begin with, the
task is still more difficult.
It is good thing to call halt when officials
go wrong, to find fault with them when they
blunder, but fault finding that is unreasonable
and oblivious to the painest facts is only naggnq
and consequently worse than useless. The ad.
ministration has already made an excellent rec.
ord in handling the street department. If giver
a fair show it will surely satisfy the most carpine
critics.

Dealing With Criminals

A majority of students Of crime ana CRIMINALS
will agree with Mayor Robbins that compulsory
church attendance is no cure Tor crime. Inc
church workers of the Second presbyterian ana
East Main Street Friends churches VINO proposed
that first offenders be taken to cnurch rs
means of punishment and correctlon were IN
spired by the noblest of ambitions but their pro-
posal flies in the face of experience and ooserva
tion. COMPULSORY church attendance was once
the rule in some of the New England colonies,
but it wouldn't work. It is rapidly being aband-
oned by colleges It is already feature in peni-
tentiaries where it doesn't have the effect the
local workers hoped from it. Mayor Robbins put
the whole matter into two sentences that could
not be improved upon
I'm most cases, believe persons who were re-
quired to attend church services would view such
action as punishment. They would go away
hating the institution which was trying to bene-
fit them" And one of the causes of this hatred
would be, as the mayor said, that they would be
looked upon curiosities.
In dealing with crime it seems there are but
two successful methods uproot the conditions
that led to it; replace bad environment by a
good environment.
To uproot the causes of crime requires spe-
cial knowledge and skill. Workers in this field
have found it necessary to secure the best posi-
BILE training for the work. If the secretary of the
new Federation of Charities u.s. as is to be hoped,
professionally fitted person, he should be able
to work in conjunction with the city authorities
in digging up the roots of crime.
But to eradicate the cause does not save the
man who has fallen. For him there must come

new influences It is in this connection church
workers can do much. Let them go after these
men leaving Jail: help them find place: assist
in their battle against the old self: make friends
with them: even take them into the house for an
evening week if need be: associate with them
as man to man. Let the human touch counterfeit
the past effects of the touch sub-human. This
is hard thing to do, but it is possible if the
workers are really in earnest.
