Crime as a Career
Not Pleasant Even When 1t Is Highly Successful

The vouup man who is making his own way in the world
Sse meet or later with very dangerous ADVISER
This adviser who is to be found in every village town
and city land has made failure Of everything he has
attempted
he says: "Young man. the only crime you can commit
that will get you into trouble is the crime OF being found
Convinced that this counsel is safe rule of conduct
inexperienced youth is prone to follow it.
One such youth walked into New York police station
and asked to be locked up.
He gave the captain on watch list of crimes he had
committed that long the captain could hardly credit
Yet investigation showed that he spoke the truth he
had really committed all these crimes most of them being
forge and had never been caught In single one OF them
he had made success Of crime.
he had got good living out Of it, and his skill enabled
him to keep out of the hands Of the police.
But with all his he not happy. He did not
enjoy the fruits of his crimes His conscience troubled him
so that he finally compelled to give himself up to the
police. and tell them of all his wrongdoings
you have read many of the stories of current crimes
you perhaps have noticed that in almost every crm
nal who is arrested himself as glad that it is all
He is relieved when the strain he has been aborng under
ID at an end
Imagine the mental condition of bookkeeper who has
been ampeng with his employers books in order to hide
theft
he has ten times the worry and anxiety of the ordinary
bookkeeper.
His actual work on the books greater and he has the
added fear that he will be detected and brought justice
When he finally is found out he welcomes the knowledge
that whatever happen to him will not be bad the
terror in which he has been living
Sometimes there are criminals who calloused as
not to worry but they generally who have not the
intellect to make their thefts profit them very much
Sometimes too there kings of finance who become
very rich through questionable transactions which do not
apparently worry them.
But these on dangerous ground and often
exposure when does come proves far harder for them to
bear than would have been the comparative poverty follow
ing an honest life.
This particular young who grew tired of his crimes
had no fear of detection to worry him.

Will the Government Re-
duce Telephone Rates?
By EARL GOODWIN.
d by . Friend Of the Telephone Com
The Answer Il Short and Sweet.

eff the Government takes over the telephones and
raises the rates. has done in the Of the railroads
where will be all your arguments for Government owner
shipi'
Thus sings bithely some kindly soul who favors me
with a letter bright and early in the morning.
1t extremely easy letter to answer and if there
others who interested in that sort of con-
troversy, let me lay down my cards right here.
The Government, speaking through Postmaster Chance
made the statement that it stands ready to operate the
Washington telephone system at LOWER cost and prom
ised to give MORE service
have been backing up that promise believing it to
be genuine.
If the United States Government actually acquires the
telephone system, win look to the officials who made
the promises to make good
But If the Government merely assumes control of the
telephone company to guarantees dividends regardless Of
watered stock inefficient management highsalaed Of
cias mon-dollar lawyers and al-then advanced tele
phone charges may result
The Government ownership of telephones which be-
eve should be made effective today contempates actual
ownership not merely GUARANTEEING DIVIDENDS

CRIME AS A CAREER.
CONTINUED from First Column.l

Continued
He had gone from place to place passing worthless
checks and from the point Of view Of the criminal had
brilliant future before him.
But there was something about the work he didn't Ike
So he decided to abandon and become honest man
To do this it was necessary to term In jail but
he was perfectly willing to do it rather than go on living
the life of criminal
His story ought to be lesson to the boys who in
clined to believe people who tell them that the only crime
worth mentioning is being found out.
This doctrine is responsible for many unscrupulOus
speculators and stock manipuators.
It has laid the foundation for many checkered career
in public office
It has filed the jails with young who might have
been of great service themselves and their fellow
The thief the forger and the getrich quick man sre
very interesting characters and they sometimes
cessful
But they are happy and their examples not
worth following though such course promises
limited fortune and immunity from arrest.

1t has been my duty and privi-

The President of the United States has done more than
any other ten thousand and women In the last two or
three years to help the cause of woman suffrage.
he endured the annoyance and the insults that were
brought to his door while he was busy with the war
He returned good for evil by putting suffrage through
at the New York electon-it never would have gone
through without him
BE returns more good for evil now, by working for
suffrage IN the Senate BE alone put the suffrage
amendment through the Senate now.
In return, he is annoyed by weIl-meaning, foolish
women The President treats the paradng speech making
disturbing ladies indulgenty, he would group Of
naughty children
If child needed medicine, the President would give
the medicine to the chd-even the child bit his hand
Women need the suffrage and the President viii give
it to them if he can though few excited ones try
to bite him as he works for them
An intelligent worker for suffrage writes letter which
you may read suggesting that somebody must be financing
these ladies in their frenzied folly.
We do believe that anybody pays the ladies' that
they would take pay Theirs is fooshnes not dishonesty
The best whirng dervishes whirl for the fun Of the
thing. No matter how much you paid them you couldn
make them whirl hard for money-t is the with the
ladies in front Of the White House
They do it because they can't help it. They have been
uustly bottled up long, they simply must break out
This is letter from Mrs Gardener
