THE FAULTS OF PREACHER

The preacher has a hard time of
it. If his hair is gray he is old. If
he is ayoung man he hasn't had ex-
perience. If he has ten children he
has too many. If he has none he
should have and isn't setting a good
example. If his wife sings in the
choir she is presumpticIs If she
doesn't she isn't interested in her
husbands work If a preacher reads
his notes he is a bore. If he speaks
extempOraneously he is not deep
enough. If he stays at home in his
study he does not mix enough with
the people. If he is seen around on
the streets he ought to be al home
getting up a good sermon. If he calls
on some very poor family he is play
ing TO the gallery. If he calls at
the home of the rich he is an aristo-
crat. Whatever he does someone
could have told him better He has
a fine time living off dona ions
which never come in, and promises
that never mature. Next to being an
editor the preacher has the world
bested Tor a quiet, peaceful CO slide
down the toboggan of time.

WHAT CAUSES CRIMES OF VIo-
LENCE.

A few days ago three gunner en-
tered a loan and clothing store in a
congested suburban district of Boston
Hundreds of people We're constant
Iy passing. The gunner shot a clerk
inflicting a dangerous wound, then
made for the cash drawer.
Such daring acts are happening
constantly in the greatest and most
conservative centers OF populations.
Any men who contemplate such
attacks, evidently well planned in
advance, must know that anything
out OF the ordinary attracts attention
on a city street. a litter of puppies
in a store window viii draw jam
The discharge of revolver shots in
a retail store is much more unusual
than puppies
1t should be evident to the meane t
mind that a gathering knot of peO-
pie would observe their escape. They
might run into the arms of police
men. Anyway they could easily drop
clues leading to early arrest.
Establishments of the character
thus rafded rarely carry more than
hundred or two dollars in cash.
For this trifling prize they We're
taking chances of long prison terms
and the electric chair.
All which suggests that the ordi-
nary criminal is man whose mind
works poorly. He fails to see OBJ
vious facts. A recent study of 200
boys of a criminal school showed
that 50 had drunkards for parents,
"a had an insane father or mother,
50 had parents afflicted with ep--
Iepsy or nervous diseases. Common
! ~ the criminal is the Wreckage lett
from abnormal or degenerate par
ents.
The only way to appeal to persons
of this deficient type is to anchor
them at some useful trade. The
schools have a big problem n hand
ling the boy OF unfortunate heredlty,
who begins to show signs of lawless-
ness. Such boys are apt to take in
ideas very slowly from books. FIRE.

The DEPRESSION oE GRAFT

The state of New York is at pres

campaigns that come around as regu-
larry as presidential elections. The
results are physically nauseat.ng ana
mentally depressing.
In the year 1910 there was a gen
eral cleanup of graft in a numbsr
OF cities and states. The results
We're widely accepted as rather per-
manent. The house of politics af-
ter abundant additions of disinfact-
ants and purifiers, seemed in fairly
wholesome and sweet condition The
