or the law1ess.
Business, however, is legalized and

from the crookedness of the other.
And when business men deal with
one another the rule is for each to
be represented by a lawyer. The
rights of each is supposed to be care
fully guarded in contracts and agree
ments drawn up by lawyers.
1t often happens that if there is
flaw in the agreement, or a chance
to knock it out in the courts on
technicality, one party will rush into
the courts to get the better of the
other. If he wins out in the court it
is considered all right, even if it's all
wrong.
A bank won't lend money unless
the borrower has something to put
up as collateral, or has other endors-
ers who are known to be good for
much more than the amount of the
loan. That means that banks do busi-
ness with people who have some
property of some kind. Most of their
business is done with business men.
Yet every bank has at least one
lawyer, and the banks have had many
laws passed to protect them from
business men who will be dishonest if
they can get away with it.
This leads to a strange conclu-
sion-those who are lawless, or out
side the protection of the law, are
safer from dishonesty on the part of
their fellows than those who are with
in the law and entitled to all the pro-
lection it affords.
That kind of turns your world up
side down, doesn't it?
The point is, however, that the So
called underworld that is thought to

ing might indicate that business and
crime are two different things, but
that's because YOU are not thinking
about the kind of crime 1 am think

My notion is that there is more
criminality than morality in business,
and that much of what we call busi-

had long talk few days ago
with two of the best detectives in the
country-known in every big city. In
the party was Tammany man who
not many years ago was a fxer for
New York gamblers go-between
in their relations with the police.
We were talking about gamblers,
thieves, yeggs and business men.
l asked the detective, who knows
every big crook in the country and
many big business men-for he has
protected banks-this question:
Whose word is most to be depend
ed upon the crooks, the gamblers
or the business mans?
He replied: "The gamblers or the
crooks"
The other detective, who is ia
nous Bertillon expert, and the Tam
many fixer both agreed with him.
1 then wanted to know why, and
between the four of us we reasoned it
out in this manner.
Gambling is lawless profession;
so is that of the thief. Neither can
rely upon the law to protect him as
against another professional gam
bier or thief. Their only protection,
then, is their honor something the
average man thinks they haven't got.
There is real meaning to the old
saying about there being honor
among thieves. It is commonly
known that gambler or thief will

Alien M Lincoln of New Havsn, Formerly of WilIimantie, Tsaeh- ing American IdeaIs.

Allen B. Lincoln of New Haven. tor meriy Of Wiliimantic. writes to a New Haven paper concerning hfs work toward making American citizens. He says
 The New Citizens Pledge is a doeu- ment which has grown out of experi- ence in teaching American fundamen- tals to newcoming citizens. It is be- l1eved to be a document to which ans American. whether of new stock or ord whether Jew or Gentile. Catholic or Protestant.
