came the problem Of getting them
supplies. Every effort failed.
A year later one of Stefansson's
travelling companions, Harold Noice,
chartered the motor schooner Don
aldson and headed a rescut expedi-
dition.
Arriving at the island, he found
the four men dead. In a bottle they
had left a paper or which were

the statement that they claimed

This year the coast guard received
an appeal from Brewer, an English
man influential in financing the
Noice expedition, to carry supplies
to the islands occupants.
The cutter Bear made a gallant
attempt, crashing its way through
the ice far into the arctic. Then,
it's ancient hull cracked and its pro-
pellers broken, the old ship was
forced to turn back. Coast guard

THE WEIGHT OF GOLD

N1OLD is a peculiarly heavy metal. If sufficient of it is
w poured into one side of a pair of scales it will %outbalance
anything that is put in the other side.
Justice is pictured as %blindfolded and holding the scales
IN her left hand and the sword designed for punishment of the
guilty in her right. But when sufficient gold is poured into
one side of the scales a strange phenomenon occurs. The hand
holding the sword becomes afflicted with creeping paralysis
and the blow of the weapon is Ightened.
We all know this condition exists, regardless of how much
we dislike facing the fact.
Take two striking cases and notice where they are parallel
and where they diverge.
Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, each 10, each sons Of
millionaire parents, each we'll educated and each possessing
every advantage possible to boys of their age, deliberately plan
and execute a most brutal murder, their victim being the small
son of a ~neighbor.
Each is arrested and confesses. They employ the best
legal talent to be had. They can do this because they possess
MONEY. They go before the Cook County Criminal Court and
plead guilty. They ask for a hearing and are granted it be-
cause they can AFFORD a hearing.
They employ alienists to show ''eztent of responsibility"
for their crime. They do this because they have MONEY.
The hearing goes on for days and goes into the utmost
of detail. The boys can extend it to almost any length they
please because they have MONEY.
They do not have to face a jury because they have pleaded
guilty. Therefore, they have only one man to convince. They
can take every step humanity possible to present their case to
this man because they have MONEY.
Finally this man decides they shall not pay with their lives
for their crime.
They have MONEY.
