Would Prevent Crime.

~ UTLINING the plans OF the bureau Of
" investigation in the Department of Justice
last week. William ]. Burns, bureau head, stated
that prevention rather than detection of crime would
be the main objective 1t is also hoped that it may
be possible to work out plan whereby people may
be protected in their constitutional rights and not
rested indscriminatey by those flashing badges and
without due authority of law. Holding prisoners
incommunicado is another evil which Burns hopes to
put a stop to.
To carry out these plans the most complete
rogues' gallery in the world is being collected in
Washington.
II have always been a great believer in preven-
tion," explained Mr.. Burns. Perhaps that is why
have been rather unpopular with the general run of
detectives" he commented with smile "Itis always
much more important to prevent crimes than il is to
catch the criminals. IN preventing crimes yotr are

. Thirty Thousand Soldiers Ask Homestead Data

- YEARLY 10000 letters from former soldiers ask
nj ing information about the opening OF farm
" lands in the Central West by the Reclamation
Service have been received at the Offices here
in the Interior Department and at the land Offices
located on the farm areas themselves 1t is estimated
that some $500 men will make formal application
accompanied by cash deposits for the $50 farms of
about eighty each which to be "raffled off,
in Nebraska and Wyoming. Part OF the rattle took
place last week and the finals will be held the 10th
when a small area in Northern Wyoming will be
thrown open for settlement
Many applications made here in Washington
for land in Western Nebraska. The money was de-
posted here and the applicants name was wired to
the place where the drawing will be held to insure
his getting equal chance with those who may be
on the spot
The charges for the initial deposit lowered
last week from $50 an acre to $L7o acre. The
first charge covered payment for three years, but it
was thought that it might make it easier for the
former soldiers if that charge split that
time thus requiring smaller initial payment and
allowing the men to their capital for operating
expenses incident to building homes and buying needed
machinery for tilling the virgin soil
Another ruling made prohibiting the winners
from taking possession OF the land for the purpose of
selling it. Instances of this have occurred where a
winner in the draw would appear at the land office
and relnqush his right to the land. At his elbow
would appear a who would say "Pll take that
section" theoretically the section open for any
in the country, but practically the who stood
there the only who had chance to
obtain the free land. The rest of the deal where the
money passed from the purchaser to the seller
took place outside the office building. Now under the
ruling if does not want the land it is
turned into the general office and the title will 60

COMMENT over
WEST VIRGINIA
WHAT DO THEY KNOW?
From The Grafton Sentinel

(From ne GRAFTON SSht'he')
The amazing revelation of the ig'
norance Of so many grammar grade
high school and collegiate pupils
regarding current events provokes
the counter query, what do they
know? What do they think about,
talk about, Perhaps if the inquiry
had taken this side as a compliment
tary inquisition, the report would
have been more valuable and GER
tainly more interesting, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t might dis
close what is Fundamentally wrong
with our upbringing of the younger
generation, with the attitude OF par
ents, schools snd communities.
Any one who has come much in
contact with the youth of the day
while startled at the concrete ev
hibit of scholastic Indifference to
the events of the times and the
conditions in the world around
them, will recognize the same symp
! toms in many young persons of his
or her acquaintance. Many, If not
most Of them, are interested only
Ill personal IilNdilLleS, pdStlHeS anu
pleasures. The world at large does
not seem to interest them in the
slightest. Their life is bounded by a
narrow circle Of acquaintances. The
danger in this is very real. What
can be expected from a democracy
if its individual components are SO
little informed or interested in the
vital things OF life? It is grave
question worthy the most serious
consideration and the most search
ing probe for remedial action.

the success of the venture into
failure. When the market was first
opened, Parkersburg housewives,
delighted at the opportunity to Sc
cure fresh vegetables and country
produce, attended in large numbers
carrying home heavily laden baskets
and by their patronage encouraging
the continuance Of the market.
The farmers OF the county, for the
most part, who had been agitating
the curb market project for some
time. entered heartily into the idea
and brought in their products, sell
ing them at prices somewhat lower
than the local grOcers, who have
overhead and operating expenses
to consider in fixing their prices.
Consequently the curb market enjoy
ed a larger patronage than the gro
ceries in the lines Of merchandise
offered for sale at the market
Recently, certain farmers, bring
ing their produce to the market,
with no expense added to that of
the hauling of the stuff to the city,
have boosted prices to equal and, in
some cases, to overtop the prices
charged by the grocers. In addition,
patrons Of the market, who remOn-
strated that they could make the
same purchases at the same price
at the grocer's with free delivery,
were informed they could take it
or leave it." Patronage Of the mar
ket has naturally fallen off, and will
probably continue to do 50 as long
as the sellers insist on maintaining
their independent attitude
Curb market farmers are charged
no rental fees, pay no hire TOR
clerks and deliYory equipment, nor
are they forced to invest a large
capital with a doubtful retlrn
which are conditions which govern
the grocers' prices. Curb market
farmers, some of whom formerly
came in on Saturdays and deliver
ed produce to regular customers,
have only the expense of hauling
their wares to the market, the Gus
toner being his own delivering ag-
ency. Why patrons should be charg-
ed the same Or more than the
grocer charges, all things consid-
cred, is unjustifable by economics
or business
1t is a pity that the selfish and I'M
cooperative attitude Of a small
majority of farmers should cause
the failure of an Institution like
the curb market which promised to
be successful and lasting venture
in this city. The quarters of the
curb market should be only large
enough to accommodate those farm
ers who are willing to cooperate
with the housewives of the city
and appreciate their patronage.

A CLOUDED IDOL.

~ Wv IDSGs
AS with the baseball players who
were accused of having thrown a
baseball world series. the cloud
which has passed within the past
few days over the conduct OF one
of the most popular moving picture
stars has shattered another idol.
The public very willingly will re-
serve Judgment as to the technical
guilt of the one involved, and wish
that his name may be cleared; but,
as with all such things, the idol has
been shattered by reason of the
fact that he permitted himself to
become involved in a situation
which, whatever his share of guilt
and responsibility, to the clean NOR
aled moving picture fans was Ito
gether improper. There has long
been a suspicion that censorship OF
films did not guarantee censored
private living. and that the story OF
the moving picture world held its
full quota of stories which it would
not want told. The acts Of a single
individual does not furnish reason
for in indictint the whole movie Iro-
fession, to be sure hut the popular
revulsion when on idol collapses
ought to suggest to the other idols
who now enjoy public favor that the
people will not tolerate double lives
