pose OF protecting society rather than
showing consideration for the GRIM
1nal. The urgent need today Is for the
administration of justice on the max
imum rather than the minimum or
moderate basis Of punishment. The
percentage Of chance for easy terms
favors the prisoner. Seldom Is the
ultimate penalty pronounced, or
served. The underworld" laughs at
the law because it knows that 1t is
readily evaded.
In the study of crime in the United
States one fact is plainly evident, that
the processes of trial and punishment
have failed to serve as deterrents. Mod
if1cation Of penalties has been carried
to such an extent as to menace the
community. The possibility Of escape
encourages the law-breaker. The
technicalities available for delay and
actual escape from punishment put a
premium upon crime. Tenderness for
the unfortunate" in the dock rather
than for the law-abiding citizen has
pat the law on the defensive rather
than on the aggressive.
Perhaps Judge Barrett's message
to the underworld will have some ef-
feet. 1t would surely have IL all other
judges took the same attitude of
severity.

THINK 1T OVER
What's In Name?
BY Wiltion, Mather Le,ois,
President George Washington University

What's in a name? This ancient
question might be supplemented by
one inquiring as to what's in the
choice Of name. Recent statistics
seem to indicate that in this matter
we like to be old-fashioned. Simon
Newton has been making telephone
and city directories his Summer
reading. He reports that the ten
most popular names in our country
are John, William, James, Charles,
George, Thomas, Henry, Robert, Jo-
seph and Edward. In a list of 100, 900
names John appears $3.50 times and
William is a close second with 7,611.
Let us see if the same order pre-
walls among those who have been
Presidents of the United States. Here
we find James leading with 5, and
John and William tied for second
place with 3 each. Your average
chance of getting into the White
House is somewhat different from
that of getting into the telephone di-
rectory.
1t is interesting to note that of the
% men who have been our Chief
Executives, only 9 have signed
middle names and only II have had
middle names. OF the Sc signers Of
the Declaration of independence, only
wrote middle names. Middle
names appear, then, to be in the
class of fifth wheels.
Now all these statistics are pre-
sented in order to suggest the i'm
portance Of giving a child the right
name. Seemingly, if We wish to be
President of the United States we
should name him James and omit a
middle name. A mans name is his
trade mark. Countless thousands
are given trade marks each year,
which will be liabilities and not as
sets. Remember you are bestowing
upon that helpless baby something
that he will carry through life. Make
careful investigation of this Ques-
ton: What's in a name?

Retributive Justice.

striking example of retributive
justice is furnished in the brief career
OF George W. Ford, recently of De-
troit. Leaving a wife and two children,
he admits that he stuck up a bank
and secured approximately $4,000.
Going to New York he met two
chorus girls for whom he procured an
apartment. Three days after his new
home was established the girls de-
camped with the $4,000 remaining of
his loot. Becoming very angry at the
thievishness and ingratitude of his
feminine companions, he called in the
police to arrest them. Police prompt
ly appeared at his apartment. but in
stead of seeking information as to the
whereabouts Of the two women. took
a good look at Ford and locked him
up. charged with the Detroit bank
robbery.
Apparently this brief cycle of events
comprises the criminal career of the
arrested man, but scant sympathy
will be wasted on him for his sordid
part in a sordid experience. He we'll
deserved what he got and what he
will get when he is brought before
the bar of justice. A nice long
stretch in the penitentiary will give
him time to reflect that his reactions
to being robbed are undoubtedly the
same as those Of the bank officials and
decent society everywhere in the
world; the one difference being that
for aid with full assurance that it will
not act as q boomerang.
