Boshevist Propaganda In Army Aimed
at Our Democracy

Just word about that much discussed buck private,
Paul NJ Crouch who sentenced to 40 years mprison
men for spreading bolsheyist propaganda in the army
1t has argued that he was sOaked'-that he got
more than was coming to him. Doubtless he did, in way,
for any soldier who is simple enough to fall In line with
the bosheVst machine doesn't deserve Az years IN JAIL He
deserves 40 years in cradle with nurse to take care
Of him.
It's no news that the international soviet propaganda
machine has had section devoted to fomenng rebellion
in the American and all other armies outside of Russia
There is plenty of proof Of that In fact the soyets have
repeatedly made the fact public.
SO why should we suppose there have not been men
placed in the United States army in line with that pur
pose? The sovies have their international propaganda
sections for every phase of human activity including
children
The complete set of facts about the Crouch case is
available But it is not to be supposed that he was found
guilty Just for fun What the friends Of the soViets are
doing dicule that kind of sentence for that kind OF
an ofense. They don't particularly about Crouch
and the evidence in his They don't want members OF
their internal propaganda machine bothered
The Third internationally which is run by the Com
munst Party of Russia which the so-caed soviet
government IS engaged in the kind of thing for which
Crouch was sentenced If Crouch guilty of that of
Tense he ought to have been sentenced to 40 years in
nursery but if that couldn't be DONE then jail IS the next
best place for him.
Whether a person is mlitarist q pacifist, just
an ordinary kind of American like most of our no.
100000 doesn't make any difference That kind OF bolshe
visit treachey isn't aimed particularly at our army 1t is
aimed at democracy 1t hits wherever 1t can just as
has been hitting in the unions. There is no sense she'd
ding tears the tools that get caught regardless OF
whether they traitors idiots They are not the sort
of animals that can be too much temporzed with, as the
unions long since found out
If there is any regretable feature about the whole
thing it is that those who ostenslby little fish get
caught and sentenced and go to JAIL while the directing
heads of the propaganda in the United Sates go their
and continue their undermining, destructive work in
peace and prosperity

evil of the act he has under contem-
plation.
There is actually a stage in the
commission of every crime when all
thought of right or wrong is ban
ished. The period may be very brief,
or it may continue many days while
preparations for the crime are in pro-
gress, and it may eventually become
an obscession which nurtures a per-
petual antagonism in the criminals
mind to the validity % all law, and
particularly the laws he wishes to
violate.

The editorial in last weeks Review

men may well heed, though the sug

out-of-town buying, which does moi
apply to Union workmen as a class.
1t is, however, a suggestion which
Union men may well ponder before
sending orders for merchandise to out.
of-town concerns.
No workman, or people Of any Other
class for that matter, may justly ap.
peal for the support and endorsement
of the merchant class when they
ignore the welfare of that important
body of citizens who contributes
largely to the general good of then
community.
If a Union workman should make
it a practice to trade outside Of his
own community, he need not expect
local merchants to look with Partially
upon his cause. Nor need he expect
to be granted favors when he does
not respond in kind. In other words
TRADE AT HOME, or never fina

Labor a bitter dose of its own medi-
cine.
Perhaps we would not be as frank
if we did not know that Union mer
as a class are not buyers from abroad

The Weekly PrecentOr
RELIGION and ETHICS
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PETTY
CRIME.
Observation-Disclosures.

The motive which prompts one to
commit petty crime must be under
stood If the criminal Is TO be re-
formed. 1t is not always a bad mo-
tive which prompts crime. On the
contrary, in the early criminal record
of any person, it is more probable
that the motive is good one mis-
directed.
How often we hear the expression:
"He is not a bad boy" This means
that when John threw rocks at his
neighbor's dog or stole his pears, the
boy actually intended no wrong, but
only sought to emulate Ty Cobb and
see how accurately he could throw,
or in the case of the pears, TO crafty
the longing of his stomach, both OF
which are laudible incentives in a
boys mind, mot however, inferring
that the seat of Johns stomach is n
his mind.
1t is not difficult to understand
John. But why does Mary, an emin-
emily respectable young woman who is
able to buy anything she wishes with
in reason, deliberately drop a costly
trinket in her purse while the clerk
is attending to his duties elsewhere
The answer that Mary is a thief at
heart is far from the truth. She is
not a thief. She is not even guilty
of a moral crime, though she may be
arrested and jailed as a shop-lifter
She has simply wanted something
| and takes it with the same motive
which prompts a child to pluck tulip
from professors yard and skip
away with it.
The carelesSness Of shop-keeping is
her opportunity; the love of triumph
is her motive; while Johns motive
in rocking his neighbor's dog, is Z
audible desire to excel.
| 1t will be a fortunate thing for botl
John and Mary if they are caught am
punished with the first otfense, though
the punishment should be only sever,
=, enough to acquaint them with tn
manner in which society and the Law
look upon such crimes-for crime
. they are.
Most criminal records might hav
been nipped in the bud by adroi
e handling of the criminal. To begi
r by charging John with being a ba
and unruly boy is dangerous steF
To charge a woman with shop-liftinl
I upon her first oTense is also a dan
t gerous precedent. Both are to b

. derstands the nature of crime an,
its primary causes.

community, while at the same time
recognizing that he has duty to his
pocketbook. He must consider econ
omy; but he must learn to distinguish
between true and false economy, and
between temporary saving that in the
long run is extravaganza, and exees'
sive first cost that means saving II
the end.

merchant is lost o Organized Labor

The Union man has seasons of the
year when he must have credit, and
he cannot obtain satisfactory credit
abroad without seeking the recon-
mendation of bankers or other respon.
sible men in his home city who know
that he will pay Many foreign bust
ness concerns deal in the dollar down
and dollar a month plan. That plan
used to be an inducement to workmer
who were not able to buy for cash, OF
short time credit. Probably a ma
jority of Union workmen's homes
would be without necessary furniture
and sometimes even food and clothing
were it not for having taken advan-
tage of small installment credit.
But this excuse for buying abroad
is no longer valid. Here in Cham
paign and Urbana the small install
ment credit system is in operation In
many stores, and where the home
merchant is given a chance to COM
pete with foreign houses the price S
usually right, or at least within rea-
son.
We have known merchants to take
an unfair advantage and charge ex-
horbtant prices for installment pur-
chase That is a common occur
renee, and it is up to the Union man
to watch his step or he may pay
dearly for his installment goods. We
have known this reason to figure
pointedly in many cases where resi-
dents of a community turned from
their home merchant and bought of
foreign concerns.
The average man who buys away
from home will cite a difference in
price between buying at home and
abroad. And this is about his only
reason for not supporting his local
merchant. The excuse may be mag
mary in many cases, but it s none the
less damaging local business. TIC
the local merchant we must say:
prove to us that we can save money
by trading at home and you may have
our business. Or even prove to us
that we are not paying you an exhor.
bitant profit for the privilege Of
credit"
This will not only solve the ques
ton of Union men trading at home
but it will reach the retired farmer
class and all others who have formed
the habit of bargaining with thu
mail order concerns.

The passion to excel, and the love
of triumph, characteristic motives
which spur men and women, respec-
lively, to action, are worth studying
in their relation to crime.
If the passion to excel becomes
dominant and the subject fails to gain
the distinction he Graves through
laudible methods, it is probable that
he will seek to obtain the goal of his
passion through a life of crime, rs
was the case with the youthful
Chapman.
1t is a long road to fame and for
tune if one follows the right course.
"The heights by great men reached
and kept are not attained by sudden
! flight; but they while their compan-
ions slept, were toiling upward in the
night"
In many instances it is the short
distance to notoriety through a life
of crime which entices young men
from the straight and narrow path
They are unable to distinguish be-
tween fame and notoriety, and they dc
not want, in any sense, to be common
place.
The press aids materially in inspir-
ing youthful criminals to seek dis
tinction, by displaying their mis-
deeds in bold front page headlines
What to the average man would be
the extreme of humiliation is to the
daring criminal youth the Haunting
signal of achievement in which he
glories. He delights in headlines, SO
he aspires to commit the perfect
crime in order to hold the streamer
for days. He is courageous in his
thcughtlessness of consequences. Only
when maturity comes, or when the
grind Of punishment begins, does he
settle down to serious thought.
1t is probable that society makes
it too hard for youth to accomplish
its aims for distinction by honorable
means. Many young man has been
utterly disheartened upon leaving
college to find that his efforts to OBJ
tain fair start are hampered nj
every turn of the way. If he settles
down willingly to endure hardness
like good soldier we consider that he

is made Of good stuff well put to-
gether. But if he lacks hereditary
sturdiness necessary TO long conquest
he is quite likely TO seek preferment
by some get rich quick scheme, q
to descend 70 a life Of questionable
dealing, if not 70 actual crime, IN or
der to attain his ends.
Detective VI. Fl. Myers could tel
you a hundred cases Of young women
whose love for pretty clothes, IN

removed articles from the counters

Hugh Grantland Speaks Tlraugh
 His Servants LipS

I had been aStonished ss ..ee Chow's knowledge of our family af- fairs, but this last calm statement revealing not only what l knew but something which l only had surmised left me in much the state Of a fish thrown upon the land.
 So Mother Graham had made an appointment to meet the mysterious tramp in the woodland back of the house. Subconsciously. of course. had known this ever since her im- perative demand for one hundred dollars which I had brought her but a few hours before, and which even while asleep she clutched in the pocket of her gown. had re- solved also that l would so with her. But Mother Graham had told me nothing concerning any such ap- pointment, nor had l brcathcd my Knowledge 10 her How in the name of all that was occult and myster- ious had tho Chinese found out this thing?
 No time was given me for con- lecture, however, for Lee Chow was speaking again, softly, but with q note of flnalty in his monotonous voice;
 "Not Walk Any More"
 "Missee Graham not walk any more out here, not have children walk out here not have old boss lady walk out here till tomorrow ten o'clock?"
 made the mental comment that this must be the hour Mother Gra- ham had planned for her appoint ment before I answered him,
 "No," I promised sincerely. NO body will come out here until then"
 That yer good" He permitted himself a little break in the mono tone which had invested his words. 'Now, will boss lady blow whistle again, please?"
 With the feeling that was cut ting rather ridiculous figure, I put the whistle to my lips and blew it. Once more the two Chinese rose from the underbrush, but this time, Lee Chow beckoned them to come nearer.
 When they had come within a few paces, he halted them with an imperative upraised hand, and pro- ceeded to harangue them in his own language, with gestures toward me which admitted Of no interpre- tation save the premise that they were being sworn into my service whenever I should need them. The little performance was ilIuminative of one thing, to my mind, and that was Lee Chow's supremacy over the other two Chinese. That they recognized him as one with author ity was plainly to be seen.
 He finished his talk abruptly, and waved his hand in dismissal. The other two men plodded off, and Lee Chow turned to me.
 They go back to laundry now" he said simply, and I almost choked in the endeavor to keep from my lips the laughter which l knew
