sey all committed murder.
Justice Is Failure
What makes the menace to child

failure of justice. which is to be con

Detective Parker believes remedy of
the evil of increasing murder. particu-
larly crimes against childhood, lies in
checking marriage among the unfit.
Next he would make investigating eff.
fcient. And he would remove political
control from the police.
And Parker speaks as man of ex-

What is the use of this struggle
for pelf?
Why not be leisurely, why not be
calm,
Sail to some island where under a

l can doze happily day after day,
Letting the busy world roll as It

Why should I work myself into a

That is the sort Of thing that say

Every so often I contemplate going
Where there are roses eternally
growing,
Some place where food almost drops

Only-to go there takes money, and !
Haven't enough of the Needful laid

So life stays hard and refuses to
soften.
Still, can dream of kindlier sky
Every so often.
Every SO often, and once in a while,
long for life on a tropical isle,
Where there is nothing whatever to
do,
Only to loaf under skies that are
blue.
Yet, when the first subtle spell has
declined,
would be bored by a life of that
kind,
Weary of breezes that constantly
soften.
