REFLExES IN HASH FORMATION

In New York State we ftHfsof the policeman who having cap
tured a burglar he found to be his son now intends to testify against
the boy and if possible send him to prison. In Minnesota we read
OF the Rev. L. M. {. birmingham denouncing his son, who is a can
didate for the United States Senate on a wine and beer platform.
and asking the voters to give him a good, square knock out blow!
In Connecticut we read of a restaurant chef beating his bride of
two weeks because she grew weary OF his cooking and dared to eat
in a rival restaurant, and yet we complain that the American people
are losing their moral fibre.
Peculiarly in each of these cases there is heard no word of COM
plant at the attitude assumed by the opposition" The boy burg
lar says he would not respect his father if he welShed on his job
and showed himself yellow. The candidate for United States SEN
.ator says the position taken by his ministerial father as a consist
.ent one for him to take" and finally, the Connecticut bride express
es the opinion that it was right in her lord and master to fight for
his business but asks how she can eat his hash when she no longer
loves its maker. She would have regarded the assault justihable
had she spent her husbands money in this rival restaurant and thus
used the capital of her spouse to undermine his business She bought
that hash, however, with her pin money, that thirty cents remnant
of the dowery which she chung to as an anchor in case of storm.
These cases present a new, and perhaps more useful opportunity for
the exercise of the reasoning faculties of our great specialists in
refexes, completes and other strange ununderstandable phenomena

JUSTICE COMPOUNDED BY YOUTH

Judge Caverly's decision in the Leopold and Loeb case stands
out as a milestone in the march of criminal procedure in this coun-
try. Indeed criminologsts of note believe the decision has dealt
a death blow to capital punishment from which it will not long be
able to survive. 1t seems obvious in view of the courts refusal to
sentence to death these two assassins on account OF their youth that
Illinois cannot well hang young Bernard Grant, only nineteen, who
refused to plead guilty on promise of a twenty year sentence, pro-
fessed his innocence, went to trial and now stands in the shadow of
the gallows a S a result.
Grant is poor. Loeb and Leopold had command of millions.
This difference of course meant nothing except that it enabled the
more arstocratic murderers to engage ilustrious counsel, to pit the
matches reasoning power and the confounding logic of a barrow
against the mentality of a Caverly, whereas in all likelihood Grant
had to defend him only a attorney of average attainment, certainly
one far less able to analyze completes, refexes, mental reactions
and other psychological factors that enter into lofter education
and higher assassination. In the on case the mentality OF the bar
seemed to rise superior to the mentality of the bench. In the other
the reverse was the fact.
The Grant case is now to be forced before the Illinois Board of
Pardons. Consequently that body is face to face with perplexing
problem. Not to pardon Grant would seem unjust. To pardon
him on the ground of his youth would be to bid every boy in the
land to enter a career of crime without fear of punishment.
Much criticism has been heaped upon Judge Cavery for his de-
cision, but his gravest error seems to have been giving the youth
of the murderers as his excuse for refusing to inAict the death pen
atty. This affects the whole of society. In view of the situation
the Legislature should lose no time in SO changing the law as to make
impossible the shifting on the shoulders of any me man a respon-
sibihty SC great as that which beset Judge Caverly.

OUR FOREIGN GRAIN MARKETS

American farmers who have reduced their planted acreage of
wheat of 7o6S3OOO acres in 1919 to I,111OO0 in 1924 are both JUS
tihable and wise in the opinion of Theodore Hammatt, investigator
for the department of commerce, who sees in the move the posi-
biity of the passing of the United States as a wheat exporting coun-
try. Apparently the farmers believe the only safe policy is to limit
their production to the needs of the home market.
According to Mr.. Hammatt war dislocated the whole system
of international trade in breadstufs. Russia, India, Argentine and
Australia, all large growers OF wheat, fell more or less into the back
ground during the war, while the United States and Canada entered
more Importantly into the competitive field. This continued after
the war had ended, but evidently it has not taken long for the period
of readjustment to put the American farmer in the rear line of
fighting.
Many elements enter into the development of a great world
trade in breadstufs just as they enter into world trade in manufac-
tured goods. Labor plays its part, but basically the shipping prob
lem is the chief key to the situation. The scuttlng of the American
Merchant Marine spells more to this country that the loss Of pres
tie n the seas. 1t means the hampering of American trade which
must depend on foreign bottoms-the water railroads needed to
carry American goods to foreign markets.
1t means that America can no longed govern routes. 1t means
we cannot designate shipping ports nearest the points of nearest
distribution. We must take what We can get. and experience in
the past has clearly shown that Great Britain, dominating the sea,
has never geared her maritime operations to meet the best interest
OF Uncle Sam.

THE CODY ENTERPRISE

and that no effort must be made to disturb the monetary status by
seeking to swing the money from maturing bonds into the chan
nels of industry.
Summed up, this means that if a dent is to be made in the ma
tional debt the present holders of government securities must con-
sent to hold them, must take in exchange new securities at lower
interest and sit pat until the government has cleared its throat, all
of which is not after the manner of the banker.
AS a fact neither the bankers nor the public will be deceived into
the belief that twenty-five years hence America will awake from
its Rip Van Wrinkle slumber to find itself clear of debt. To. hold
twenty-one and one-haf billion dollars out of industrial investment
for twenty-five years is quite an ambitious thought.

M. DEWEY'S FINANCIAL DREAM

Staid investment bankers listened with respectful attention
but with something of n smile around the corners of their mouthes
when Charles f. Dewey, assistant secretary of the Treasury, told
them. in convention that the United States expected to retire the
national debt of 2, 50O00O00 in the next twenty-five years. Mr..
Dewey insisted the retirement could be effected. He pointed out
that the government had to pay one billion dollars a year. practical
lv one-fourth OF its expenditure, in interest on its public debt. and
that this drain must be considerably reduced if the principal sum
is TO be cut down.
Presumably this forecasts an effort at refunding. the retiring
of maturing bonds by the substitution Of shorter term new issues
Al lower rates OF interest. Mr.. Dewey made it clear that to carry
out the government plan to complete cooperation OF all factors in
finance. particularly that OF investment bankers would be necessary.
