CRIME: ITS CAUSE AND TREATMENT.
BY Clarence DarrOw. Thomas Y Crowell
Company.
H ORTY years spent in practicing in
our courts has not hardened Mr..
barrow toward criminals nor given
him the cold blooded viewpoint of the scien-
tfic investigator of crime. On the con-
trary he discusses crime. its causes and
treatment with a benign air that obviously
springs from a profound sympathy with
criminals" who. he makes very plain, are
too often the victims of conditions into
which they have been forced by the cir
cumstances of their beginnings and the
untoward conditions of modern social and
industrial life
In his extensive discussion of crime. its
various classifications and punishment. his
main effort has been to show that the
laws that control human behavior are as
fixed and certain as those that control
the physical world. And he says Il am
fully aware that this book will be regarded
as plea or an apology for the criminal.
Still If mans actions are governed
by natural law. the sooner it is recognized
and understood the sooner Will sane treat
ment be adopted in dealing with crime
The sooner too viii sensible and humane
remedies be found for the treatment and
cure of this most perplexing and painful
OF human behavior 4.

"a book which is one of the most
brilliant and original pieces of his
torical criticism that has appeared
in many years" comments the N.

written a book about Napoleon

man and his experiment in i'm
perialism are portrayed in a way
which makes one realize their sig

study of character and an unusually
absorbing narrative. $500

journalistic work for the element
of adventure and never failed to
find it," says the ~ Y. Epening

his remarkable career-his associa-
ton with Theodore Roosevelt, John
Hay, Asquith, Cecil Rhodes and
many other great men; his break
with Gladstone in 1887; the real
situation during the civil war when
the Spectator backed the North;

II has been observed throughout
America, thanks to the fine spir

veterans organizations, with
