THE CRIME WAVE

Various causes have been cited to
explain the unusual amount of crime
that is prevalent, and perhaps all Of
them have contributed to the result.
One important cause is the lack OF
a correct estimate Of the two pur-
poses which qualify the punishment
of crime. The old idea was that the
penalty should balance the account,
that its severity should equal the
wickedness of the crime. Modern
penology is right in no longer re-
garding this as the proper basis for
determining the penalty. Punish
ment has two and only two just fla
BILE purposes, the welfare Of society
and the welfare Of the criminal-and
the reform and welfare Of the crimi-
nal should always be secondary to
the good of society. The reversal of
this principle in the minds Of many
people and apparently in too many
of our courts is undoubtedly one cause
and an important cause Of the in
crease of crime.
The same mistake is not infrequent-
ly made in the discipline Of schools
and colleges. The chief purpose OF
the ordinary school or college is not
to reform those who wilfully misbe'
have, but to educate and train those
who desire to make the most Of them
selves for service, and it Is its duty
to get rid Of any who by their influ
ence hinder the work. It has beer
said that the expulsion of a student
is a confession Of failure in disci
pine on the part Of the school author

ed people trying to find how things

When a great deal Of evidence ac-

bility with a great deal Of evidence.
It is sometimes said that the gap
in the evidence has been greatly
narrowed so that a high degree of
probability exists that man came
from a monkey.
In all such cases as this, If the
evidence were all on one side, it
would be easy to decide. In this
case, however, the evidence is not all
on one side.
To many in eminent places, a
mighty preponderance Of evidence
is on the other side and that is the
Bible.
With the Bible in one hand and
Darwinian Evolution in the other, it
seems to many people, as eminent
as President King even, that the gap
in the evidence that man came from
a monkey is still wide as the poles
asunder, that the evidence for Oar
winian Evolution Is not anywhere
near absolute proof or any other
kind Of proof or even probability.
Darwinian Evolution teaches as
working hypothesis or guess that
man came from monkey.
Mary came the usual way. Jesus
was Mary's child. According to
Darwinian Evolution, Jesus came
from a monkey on His mothers side
and no miracle in that monkey or
lgln.
Third. Descent with notifications
that stop short Of claiming that man
came from monkey is not Darwin
ian Evolution.
This phrase means nothing more
nor less than development Of species
when the idea Of map from the
monkey is cut out.
The COW is said to have developed
from a fierce creature, but still is a
COW. The horse is said to have de-
veloped from a little creature that
would not be worth a dime now, but
still he is a horse.
The bluegrass breeder will, I hope,
continue to develop his horse by de-
scent with mod fcations so we may
have better saddlers, trotters, and
dray horses, but they will still be
horses as they have been horses thru
all the descent with notifications.

Some idea OF what Bolshevism has

conference OF Russian trade and indus
trial representatives at the Hotel Ma
jestic. Not a single branch of produc-
ton exceeds one-fourth that of the 1913
figures. which is taken as Russia's last
normal year. The fuel output last year
was only "a per cent. OF normal, al
though the Soviets assigned whole ar
mics to keep UP this production. With
true communistic neglect the capital
gold production fell to 3-lo per cent.
and platinum TO Z per cent.
Cotton cloth barely reached per
cent, paper 10 per cent, sugar is per

figures the conference leaders expressed

young and old. Since A. J. Wiuson

monkey glands in Austria and had be-

Paris. May FL.
After three years of investigation
by Magistrate NJ. Bonin the Chamber
of Criminal Indictments, corresponding
to the American Grand Jury. has taken
up the case of Henri Girard. an in
surance agent, who is charged with a
list of crimes that have no parallel in
the history of French crime.
Girard has a wide circle of friends
and acquaintances in Paris among
whom, because of his apparent cul-
ture and exquisite manners and dress.
he is known as Gentleman" Girard.
For women he seems to hold irresist-
ible attractions. Having a taste for
literature, music and science he mixed
with some of the best people without
arousing suspicion. While he posed as
an insurance agent, 1t was assumed
that he had an Independent income
because of the lavish manner in which
he lived. It is said that at one time
he maintained three households.
But GlrHrQ, IL is CldrScu, uscu HIS ih-
surance work merely as a means TO an
end, which was to put out of the way the
persons he had insured and collect the in
surance himself in addition to the COM
mission which he had already received.
Poison by Microbes.
Being an traordinary man he used
extra rdinary methods. according to the
charges. which included the use of dead
ly microbe cultures and poisonous nush-
room extracts. When he was arrested
number of scientific works on poisons,
drugs and plants as we'll as cultures were
found In his house. There also were
quantities Of deadly poisons. complete
laboratory equipment and a number OF
glass jars containing typhoid cultures.
Suspicion first fell on Girard In 1918.
when the Phoenix Insurance Company
refused to pay the sum OF $4,000 for
which a widow named Monin, a dress
maker had been insured that year. Two
other large insurance companies had al
ready paid Girard similar sums when this
refusal came. The police having been
notified, they discovered that the woman
had been insured four times that year.
and that Girard. according to custom,
had, as agent, been paid the first pre-
| MUM as commission. The woman died
before the second premium was due.
The arrest of Girard followed these
disclosures. According TO the charges.
Girard persuaded the woman to so to
the house of his future wife to try on
some hats. After hat had been Sc
lected Girard is said to have poured out
some wine and the three drank a toast.
| But the glass which was handed to the
victim contained extract of mushroom

and mixed with the wine.
