CRIME IS BLAMED
ON Gambling SPIRIT
0r. Binder Says Chances of
Escape and Rich Haul
Lure Many On.

Crime is a more profitable means of
livelihood than honest work at the
present time, according to DIR. Rudolph
NJ. Binder, professor of sociology at
New York University in commenting
on why the United States leads the
civilized world in Crime waves"
The gambling spirit prevalent
among the American people is more
responsible for the crime wave than
causes more frequently mentioned, in
DIR. Binders opinion. Thousands of
people. he said. think they can make
an easy living by taking chance
They read in the newspapers of Of
flee boys and typists making large
profits by taking a flyer" and again
Of business men taking successful
chances in oil wells. gold mines, and
other highly speculative fields. The
wide publication Of news of successful
men arouses in many young people
the spirit of risk and chance.
The criminal" DIR. Binder con-
tinued. 'is on the whole. a man who
takes chances. The only difference
between him and the others is that
he takes them on the other side of
the fence.
Considers Odds in His Favor
when he is about to commit Il

being apprehended or of escaping is
about $3.50. If caught. the chances
are nine out of ten that he will either
go free, owing to clever defense or
plea by his mother especially if he
is first offender. Finally If he is
about to be sent to prison his chances
for parole or pardon are mighty
good.
The criminal is not altogether L
fool, although he is short sighted n
many ways. Weighing the chances
mentioned. it is more profitable To
steal or kill just now than TO 20 10
work. The numerous criminals who
go free are a good Indication of the
criminals calculation.
Among other social causes for the
prevalence OF crime in the United
States, DR.. Binder mentioned the
vulgar display of wealth in the form
of jewels which arouses the greed of
the less balanced and often becomes
positive temptation.
The laxity of law enforcement is
perhaps more important than any
other cause.
Blames Poor Law Enforcement
The blame for poorly enforced
law" he declared, may be divided
among the police, the courts, and the
prison authorities. 1t is well known
that comparatively few criminals are
apprehended; if caught. they stand
good chance of getting free on
technicalities.
IF sent to prison the criminal has
not much to complain of. The treat
ment accorded to him is good. food
is ample and he does not lead a
strenuous life. On the basis of good
behavior he stands a fair chance of
shortening his term not less than one
third.
THE public finally shares part of
the blame because citizens insist upon
the law makers passing any number
OF laws, many Of which, it is plain.
cannot be inforced This multiplicity
Of laws simply furnishes a clever
lawyer with an opportunity to get the
criminal free"
DR.. Binder does not believe that
the number of foreigners in the
United States and the alleged rest
lessness of the American people are
among the cause Of crime, although
they are often mentioned.
Switzerland, he pointed out, has the
lowest homicide rate per 900 of

BISHOP WEHRLE DESCRIBES
ST. JOSEPKS SANCTUARY ON
., MOUNT ROYAL NEAR MONTREAL
Reports Alleged Miracle Cures Effected Chapel Erected in
Honor of ST. Joseph

even the earliest, French Canadians
showed special devotion To 81.
Joseph The Jesuit Eclations' Of
lGAG relate that March 18th, the day
before the feast Of st. Joseph, Il
bonfire was set Off in honor Of st.
Joseph, that on March 18th, the Teas;
day. High Mass and Vespers were
celebrated, that in the morning in
his honor n cannon was Discharged
etc.
Devotion 10 ST. Joseph as the head
of the Holy family has for centuries
been dear to the French Canadians;
the biggest number Of boys receive
the name Of Joseph as one of their
baptismal names. But this can only
show that the French Canadians
were, perhaps, more ready TO take
their refuge to st. Joseph in trials
Of life than others.
Conduct School
The Fathers Of the Holy Cross con-
Quoted boarding school for smaller
boys at the foot Of the Mount Royal.
In 1870 man, now universally
known as Brother Andrew, joined
that community as a lay Brother and
from 1871 to 1909 acted there as
porter and did some other humble
work, as man of hardly any secu-
lar education would do. Being cx-
trcmely kindhearted towards any
sufferers, he was soon the trusted
friend of men who suffered from
sickness or were in other serious
trouble. He always advised such
sufferers to take their refuge to st.
Joseph and gave them usually me-
dial of St. Joseph.
He had an ardent love AMI UNI
limited confidence in st. Joseph and
knew how to inspire the same in 9TH
ers. Gradually hundreds Of people
came to him which caused rather
much annoyance in the College.
Finally small chapel was built
near the present location Of the st.
Joscph's Sanctuary and since 1904
those who wanted to see Brother
Andrew in their needs were instruct
ed to see him at that little chapel;
this for the purpose that such Il
concourse Of people should not be
detrimental to the college.
This is the first beginning Of st.
JOseph's Sanctuary and of the pill
grimagc that has gained such tire
mendous proportions, as stated above.
Can such facts be explained upon
mere natural causes? think not.

Judging supernatural facts as mir

Quebec The one is st. Joscphs Sane
tua!y on Mount Royal near the city
Of Montreal. the other j.: st. Ann OF
Hcauprc, some 20 miles east Of Que
bee. Both places have become very
famous on account of being sane
tualieS to which every wear an in
credible number of pilgrims flock
some from pious curiosity, but the
biggest number from deepest reli-
gious motives. To-Day wish ia
write short sketch about ST
Joseph's Sanctuary on Mount Royal
| give first what one sees at the
OIatory. On the northwe stern flank
Of Mount Royal, Il little more than
half way up, arises tn" massive
structure of st. Joseph's Oratory. AS
yes, it is only the crypta or base
ment of the future church. built in
the severe Romanesque style, all
walls of solid granite, taken from the
mountain.
Pile Clutches
1t has seating capacity for l,0OO
persons and room for almost two
thousand Near the central door is
pile of crutches, canes, and other
apparatus, some primitive, some
scientific. BY which help is given to
the multiplied ills Of suffering hH-
manity.
A commonplace statue OF st. Joseph
Surmounts this confused pile. On
the walls near this pile are hun,
dreds of testimonies. some engraved
on marble slabs, some on paper
placed there by persons who testify
that they Themselves or members OF
their families have in a wonderful
way received health from ills OF the
body, many testtfyinr also that ply
sicians had declared these ills IN

father Of Jesus Christ.
