THE YOUNGER CRIMINAL

That prohibition Is bringing
younger type OF criminal. is the theory
advanced by Robert r. Miles. Bcrtn-
Ion expert at the Ohio state penitentI-
airy. He bases his belief on the fact
that tho average age OF prisoners in the
penltentiary Is lower this year than be-
fore. In agreeing with Miles. Chief Of
Police French OF Columbus says that
there are fewer older prisoners because
an Older man requires some stimulant to
enable him to commit a crime. while n
young man has the natural recklcssness
Of youth.
This would seem TO explain logically
why there are fewer older criminals
but does not account for the alleged In
II Is n we'll known fact among Grim
lnologists and experienced officers OF
the law that there Is criminal age"
which. through Ions study and observa
ton has been fixed as the period from
IS TO %. It is claimed that more crimes
period OF life than any other. This dis
covery was hrst announced several CEN
turtles ago. and Is said 10 be borne out
by statistics ever since.
II would appear therefore. that what
prohibition has done IL to decrease the
number of crimes committed by older
men This would Of course lower the
average age. 1t might also increase the
number OF crimes committed by younger

A REFRESHING REPORT

The courageous determination Of
American Railway executives 10 place
the railroads on their feet by further
economies and efficiency. rather than to
apply for another general increase in
rates. cannot fail TO create a splendid
impression. In his statement reviewing
the year. Chairman Cuyler OF the execu-
tives reports that under restored private
operation. the roads have handled a
greater gross tonnage than ever before
and have established new records In the
amount OF gross tonnage per car. He
gives much of the credit for this TO
loyal work OF employees and cooperation
Of shippers.
1t 10 certainly refreshing 20 md such
a spirit OF independent energy among
the heads Of our railways The tendency
TO fall back on the federal government
at every opportunity has become marked
In recent years. even among those who
have had far less Justification than the
railroads. One thing that American
business IN general needs today Is to get
as far away from governmental med
ding as possible. To SEQ the railroads
leading the way out. even at q probable
financial loss to themselves. is an In
spiration. Transportation cannot be d.
vorced from public control. but the lines
dividing the public and private interests
should be clean cut

significance. Instead OF compelling the
operation OF any plant in time OF de-
preston. the decision expressly disa-
vows any such power except In case OF
an emergency" Judge Huggins. who
handed down tho decree. also says:
"UnQucstionably the testimony shows
that the millers OF Kansas are con-
fronted with market conditions which
are beyond their control and beyond the
control OF this court
Therefore. the decision OF the court
was as follows:
In the restriction OF the hours nf
operations. therefore. the miller should
be very careful and Solic!tous concern
ing tho matter Of labor. Skilled and
fsithful employees should be given such
treatment as will enable them during
the period OF limited production to sup
port themselves and families. SO far
al IL Is possible TO do. this rule should
be recognized in all the mills OF the
state"
In this, there Is nothing unusual. 1t
is the usual practice. 80 far as possible

FINE CHRISTMAS GIVING

Through the efforts OF the West Fir-
ginia FederatIontst. very handsome
sum OF money was raised for the pur-
pose OF furnishing Christmas presents
10 the little children OF striking miners
living IN the tents In MinBo county.
-Four thousand. nine hundred and seven
ty-three packages were made up and
sent out TO these youngsters Of whom
Il might DO said. they had little enough
TO bring 10 them Christmas cheer. En-
tirely regardless OF the merits OF tho
controversy between the striking miners
and their former employers, the spirit
which animated the distribution OF this
mammoth Christmas fund was one to
be commended. Industrial controversies
always bring hardship. and II Is the
women and children who suffer the
most.

In the EQUATION between American
agriculture and American business there
IL just about as much weight on one
end os tho scales as on the other. The
farmers OF the United States could. with
their live stock and crops for one year.
buy all the railroads In tho United
States. together with all the rolling
stock and other equipment.
They could sell their farms along with
their crops and live stock and buy in
addition to all the railroads. all the es-
adjustments, all the mines, and all tho
Quarr!es in the United States. With
the income from their live stock and
crops for u single year. they could pay
practically the entire national debt.
In other words. agriculture represents
a permanent investment Of $500 0O0.-
900, and It's yield last year was valued
at $4,000. 100000. The greater part
the produce Of this enormous enterprise
comes almost to the door OF American
business The manufacturer receives
from II. directly or indirectly. the ma
terlals that go to make up their finish
ed products. BANKERS employ their de-
posits IN facilitating tho exchange Of
products between the two.
The railroads and other carriers. IN
Guiding tho comparatively new and I'M
portant enterprise OF motor transporia-
t!on have as their principal purpose tho
carrying OF commodities from one to
the other. The merchant has on his
shelves many products OF the farm. and
usually the farmer Is the merchants
largest customer.
With the Increased population in our
manufacturing ccuters. the! increased
cost Of transportation difficulties. the
necessity for increased local production
and supply will grow more ins!stent.
and must emphasize the wisdom OF
generous policy toward agricultural pro-
ducers. IN order not only TO maintain
our agriculture but to develop all It's
latest possibilities.
The higher wages paid In industries.
tho shorter hours. the conveniences. and
other advantages OF city life have drain

vicinity Of large manufacturing centers
