Garage Man Is

Says Wells


"'He walked awhile and sat down

But though he d smile, twas MANY
Il mile; Oh many mile back home.
And still the sun shown down, moi
hot, but hotter. And still the sweat
ed brow was beaded with perspira
tions.
The reason for the protracted
walk midst all the heat and dust
of the highway yesterday from 4
point five miles southwest of FL
Centro, was due to breakdown in
the motor of a car driven by Don
Wells.
Mr.. Wells did not waste much
time in calling garage for tow
car after he found that his motor
refused to work. But when the tow
arrived, Mr.. Wells was not in sight,
having repaired to the shade of e
tree not far away.
Being bent upon rendering service
anyway, the garage car hooked on

meanwhile had awakened and walk
ed to the spot where his balky veh1-
Gle had last been. When his per
turbed gaze had fixed itself upon
the vacancy so recently filled with
the bulklines of his machine, and
when he had reached the sad con-
clusion from the wheel tracks that
he had been left behind, he set out
on foot for the distant city. Five
miles may or may not be long
ways from nowhere, Mr.. Wells says.
1t all depends.

When the first tariff was framed
in Congress controlled by jefferson

vanced in the debates that it was
well to cut off the Federal revenues
so as to weaken and keep down the
power and aggression of the Federal
Government. 1t was nearly 30 years
before the United States got back to
the national ideals worked out by
George Washington and Alexander
Hamilton. BY that time the Repub-
lican reactions OF 1900 had been
washed away in the baptism of Civil
War, and the railroad and telegra oh
had nodded our people into a homoe-
geneous whole instead of beaded
chain of States jealous of sovereignty

The Story the Week Has Told

The Lcu%uc AssembI. On october

passed A resolution urgirE all gov
ernments to ratity the protocol to
the preparation of which its labors
were almost exclusively devoted; Of
ficially entitled the protocol for
pacific settlement of International
disputes" commonly konwn as The
Protocol of Arbitra tion and Security"
Stated in large way, the chief aim
of the protocol is to effect judicial or
arbtral settlement of all irternation-
al disputes. 1t prescribes the ma
chinery for such settlement. 1t de-
fines an "aggreSsor state" which is,

state has aggressed It calls on the

ply the sanctions.
The protocol binds the signatories
to accept the compulsory arbitration
clause of the protocol of the Perma-
nent Court of international Justice.
1t interprets and gives precise ap-
plication to certain articles of the

method of its own ratification and

Moreover. this appalling crime toll is
mounting rapidly year by year and

These startling facts were gwen
to me by E. A. St. John, president OF

concerns in the world. whose opera
tions. carried on through 1900
agents, cover every section of the
country.
who and what are the criminals
American peopley
Mr.. st. Johns answer to that ques-
tion was even more disquieting than
his estimate of the billions OF dol
lars lost through robbery.
Our records show" he said. that
at least rs per cent of all crimes COM
mitted through burglary and robbery
are the work of youths under 20
years of age. Moreover, the facts in
dicate that the age Of criminals or
this class Is steadily increasing

them are today responsible for a big
proportion of our burglaries and
other forms of theft where violence
of some kind is d feature. In cases
OF embezzlement and miSapproprIa-
ton the age limit is higher, for the
very simple reason that young men
rarely occupy positions where there
is opportunity for such crime"
Causes OF Crime.
What are the causes which are
turning thousands Of American boys
into the paths of crime?
Mr.. St. John has very clear ideas on
that subject, which he expressed to
me in vigorous and terse language.
These reasons may be summarized as
follows:
The tremendous increase In lux
urious and extravagant living on the
part of the Nation as whole.
The weakening OF religious and
moral restraints.
The failure OF justice to punish
crime with swift and sure penalties.
"A most significant feature" said
Mr.. St. John, in the alarming IN
crease in crime in this country dur
ing the last 10 years is the fact that
it has been in financial crimes and
not in crimes of violence. We are
the most extravagant and luxury
loving people in the world today and
an extraordinary amount of energy
has been devoted TO the invention
OF expensive methods of pleasure
aeeking. Our wild pursuit OF pleas
ure, paraded with such ostentation
on every hand. is undoubtedly one OF
the main causes which tempt our
young men and boys TO crlme The
economic value of a boy to society
is small in money. Being boy. he
is eager for pleasure, but the So
called pleasures which he sees his
elders indulging in are generally tar
beyond his means Joy-ridins, caba-
rets, midnight dances and all that
goes with such things are beyond
the reach of the average young fell
low who must work for a living. a

IreIand-The reader is re

news of the world for the
seven days ended October 4.
IreIand-The reader is re-
minded of the following facts:
Article XII of the London treat,
of 1921. which created the Irish Free
State authorizes the complete separa-
ton of Ulster from the Irish Free
State on condition that commission
to consist of one member to be the
Ulster government. and one, the
chairman. to be appointed by the
British government, shall determine
in accordance with the wishes of the
Inhabitants so far as may be COM
patible with economic and geographic
conditions" the boundary between
Ulster and the Free State.
Ulster separated herself. Cor to be
more exact. took judicial notice of
the existing fact of separation but
has refused to accept the condition
ing clause. and has declined to ap-
point a boundary commissioner.
The Belfast government takes its
stand on the government of Ire
land act of 1920, which unconditionally
assigned to Ulster the six northern
counties. and declares that, the ter
ritorial limits of Ulster having thus
been determined, no change thereof
may be made without listers con-
sent.
Some weeks ago the British
government referred to judicial
committee of its appointment the ques-
ton whether the boundary commits
sion. lacking member appointed by
the Ulster government, would have
Jurisdiction in the premises. and
other kindred questions. The COM
mittee decided that for boundary
commission to perform the functions
contemplated by the London treaty
without an Ulster member, enabling
legislation by the Westminster Parlia-
ment would be necessary.
On August the British govern
ment introduced bill in the
Commons providing that, subject to
confirmation of an agreement by the
British parliament and the Dali. the
Northern Irish governments power
to appoint a commission shall be
transferred to and exercised by the
British Parliament and the Dali, the
pose of Article XII, of the treaty any
commissioner SO appointed shall be
deemed to be commissioner ap-
pointed by the Northern Irish gov
eminent"
On September 80, the Westminster
Parliament assembled in special ses-
sion to pass on the bill just cited.
Outside Ulster there is pretty
complete consensus of opinion that
in a strictly legal view the Free
State government is justified in de-
manding that the conditioning clause
of Article XII of the London treaty
be put in operation. that in a strictly
legal view the British Rovernme Mt
is obligated to do everything in its
power toward that end, and that in
strictly legal view Parliament is
obligated TO provide legislation,
however coercive. necessary to give
effect to that clause As Ulster is
represented in the Westminster Par
lament, it would seem that ratifca-
ton of the London treaty by that
Parliament legally bound Ulster.
So, convinced as to the legal
aspects OF tho question, on October
tho commons passed the govern
ment's bill by PSI to %. But most
reluctantly. Were it proposed, purely
