One of New York's police is alive
because a cartridge damned in a
desperado's revolver. There were
two of them, trying to kidnap a girl
when the officer interfered and then
they tried to kill him. Consider for
moment the inducements for a
New York policeman to be brave
and honest. These two gunner,
though young. had record for
crime and for being paroled. One
convicted in 1918 for assault and
robbery and sentenced to fourteen
years was paroled in 1920. The
other. sentenced to five to ten
years for robbery in 1920, who also
had been implicated in peddling
drugs, was out of prison and at his
old practices. Probably these fell
lows never did "a lick" of honest
work in all their lives and do not
intend to. They are type of in
evitable criminal that never should
be at large If there be a way to pre-
vent it. Those who secured their
liberty should be made to serve an
other long sentence in their COM
pany.

psychological outlook of lot of
young men and women" Most of
the inmates of the penitentiaries are
less than % years of age. The sale Of
opium and similar drugs accounts for
much crime. In the past two and a
half years 10000 addicts have been
arrested in this city. of whom 20 per
cent. had criminal records. The facil-
ity with which revolvers can be
bought and carried on the person is
sinister. In New York alone last
year LAT persons were killed with
revolvers. The administration of
justice is no doubt at fault, but few
err criminals would be brought before
the courts if more attention were
paid to the reform of morals.

WHAT CAN THE MATTER Be:

One occasionally needs nowadays
some distraction from over much
reading Of criminals going unpunish-
ed, of out bursts of racial hatred,
of trusted officials and employees be-
traying their trusts, of laws that go
unobserved, of many of the facts,
fictions and follies which find way
into the columns of the daily press,
rather because of their. novelty than
because of their Importance. Read
ing these one is likely to be deceived
by the idea that all this Is but the
way of the world. We forget that
the way of the world Is largely
something else; that it consists in
making homes or abiding places.
providing them against necessity
and with luxuries. doing this by
days works seemingly without end.
Or do we find the marvellous doing
Of all this. the living OF the normal
life, with all that means in personal
sacrifice. fortitude, patience-to
mention some of the many re-
quisities for doing this properly
too prosy for our consideration?
Crime. scandal, iniquity the only
interesting things in the world
With our boys coming home from
the Olympic Games crowned with
laurels, with our around-the- world
flyers on the home stretch, after
grim struggles with the elements,
fighting the blasts of the Arctic,
the sand storms of the orient and
now about to hop off for flight to
Iceland, thence to Greenland, Labra-
dor-and home. Too prosy, this for
really can the matter be with us?
