Human Waste

THE great problem in any bust
ness is to prevent waste. 1t
L was the discovery of ways to
save waste that is at the bottom of
the success Of almost every big
business.
The biggest business in the world
is national government. 1t deals
in humanity. And probably the
worst form of waste is the waste
in human beings.
The dump heap for human waste
is the prison, and like all dump
heaps, it is the source and breeding
point of dangerous maladies.
There are today 10000 persons
in penal institutions in the United
States, says John A. Jones in
Golfers.
Men like George W. Kirchwey.
who have scientifically studied the
problem, all agree that prisons are
boarding schools to graduate GRIM
inals. As rule, they do not reform
men inside of them, and they do not
deter from crime men outside of
them.
This is because they are founded
upon the wrong idea that the way
to cure crime is to hurt the Grim
inal. Whereas the only way to
prevent crime is to cure the Grim
inal. In other words, crime must
be approached intelligently, scien-
tifically and psychopathically, not
in spirit Of vengeance and stupid
retaliation. ..
One famous expert declares that
so per cent Of all Juvenile de-
linquency could be prevented by
proper medical treatment. g.,
1t would look as if at least we
might try to cure the youthful
criminals, but we have not got up
yet to the point of intelligence
where we try to cure the adults.

I'm just q stupid. oid-fashioned

became acclimated and managed
to walk along the streets with
out humping into a iamp-post.
Honestly. I grew to like them.
And then. Just as reached
the point where I could see n
girls face In spite Of her legs,
they all suddenly began to wear
long skirts. Now I wander
about aimlessly, In constant
dread Of being run over by an
automobile or truck. because.
for the life OF me. j can't help
looking at the place where !
used to see legs. And I've been
wondering whyythey hide them.

What's What
In the Strike
n ABROAD gentlemen tell you
K the roads are running well
- and strikers are trooping


- and strikers are "trooping
back
The truth is that railroads are
running BADLY, IRREGULARLY,
and in some cases DANGEROUSLY.
Part of the danger in railroad
operation is due to irregular move
ments Of trains and defective ma.
chinery. The more serious part, il
statements by the roads are true,
comes from malice on the part Of
workers. II such malice exists it is
most stupid. 1t can injure only
the public, the strike and the union
workmen of the four brotherhoods
not yet called out. That kind of
labor fighting is bad for strikers,
and the best possible thing for the
railroad owners. Given one or two
serious disasters, they would say |:
"We cannot compromise with mur-
derers," and public opinion would
support them.
That rails and machinery have
been tampered with by strikers is
NOT proved. The roads are a little
too eager to have it believed. A
New York union offers reward of
$1,000 on the Long Island road for
the arrest of the guilty. Hoodlums,
willing to get loot in a wreck,
rather than railroad men, are very
likely responsible. Such struggles
bring out all sorts Of brigandage,
and the men on strike are blamed
conveniently, as it helps to form
public opinion against them.
The public is annoyed and sur
prised at the inability of the Gov
ernment to interest the railroad
owners in its offers of settlement.
The fact seems to be that the rail-
road owners say to each other:
"This is OUR Government, and it
is for the Government to TAKE
ORDERS FROM Us, not for us to
take orders from the Government.
