THE WAVE OF LAWLESSNESS

Half of the space in tn,
 metropolitan newspapers to
 day is used to report rob
 berries, holdups, murders, suicides and family troubles 2 of various kinds. In a lead.
 ing San Franscisco daily the life history of tn e
 most noted recent train rob-
 berries is being run in a sen-
 sational form tending to make a martyr out of the man and idolize him in the eyes of the youth of the land.
 A recent report of a hold up of two women in San Francisco says, ''I hate toI do it, lady, but 1 am up a. gainst it. Give me work and 1 won't have to rob. If you scream I will shoot. The general impression left in the readers mind after reading the story is that it 1 was necessary for a gentle man highwayman to get money in this manner.
 The papers in various cities are full of similar in- stances. What is the remedy for this condition? Most of these robberies and cases of law breaking are due to standards of living which have been developed beyond the means of the individual to satisfy. Too many per- sons drew more money dur ing the inflated war period, than they will ever be able to earn through their ability or skill. Preachers of dis have tried to make millions believe that they are entitled to a living from some other mans work.
 It is this false reasoning $ which must be knocked out f of the minds of thousands )f criminals and would-be criminals before the present era of crime can be cured.

STREETCAR SYSTEM SUSPENDS

The streetcar system o1
 Des Moines, Iowa, where 80,
 1000 people depend on carlines
 has been ordered to discon-
 tinue operations, throwing
 700 men out of work. The order of the court de- clares that the property can- not be operated without loss to the bondholders, stock holders and creditors.
 The streetcar system could not make operating expenses with a 5 cent fare and no jitney competition.
 Then the city government gave the streetcars an 8 cent fare and restored jit- neys and the lines could not earn cost of operation. 1
 The usual fight on the Streetcar system by the city politicians has been conduct ed for years to force public ownership.
 Commenting on the Des Moines situation, President of the Pacific Elect ric By. in Los Angeles, said that conditions which led to the suspension of the elect ric railway service in Desl Moines were similar to those in a number of Pacific Coast cities where lnregulated competition of itney busses with electric always is permitted.
