Editorial Comment
The Penalty For Crime
(The Carson Press)


Last week saw two of our boys pass into the
shadows Of prison life for perhaps all of their
| natural lives all because an old man had worked a
lifetime gathering money together to withstand
the ravages of cid age, which the boys knew. They,
in their impetuosity wanted that money but did
not want the hard work necessary to get it. In
ether words greed entirely lay at the bottom Of
| the crime committed in midst on Sunday evening.
Would it not be we'll for US to pause and think
for moment on this matter horrible as it is ,:
Three lives are practically wiped out in foul
blow Certainly this is unnatural These two boys
should have had useful lives as good citizens for
at least SO years to come, the third should have
been with to help guide the coming generation
with his counsel based upon experience.
These two boys come from apparently good homes,
they have been educatedi in public schools, have
mingled with and the younger folks of our COM
munity. Have they contaminated others of our
community, or are others weak in respect for
law and the property rights of others? Truly it
would be well for to ask ourselves regarding
these matters and in any event to to it that our
community be forever purged of such horrors in
the future.
This should be example to all. 1t is the out
come CT all rash acts. Especially should this be
an example to the younger generation. 1t is the
small petty cfcnses that if continued develop into
larger. crimes against the law of God and man.
In turn, we parents should pause and resolve to do
cur utmost inculate into the minds and very being
Of our children the reverence for God and the laws
| of land.
| We read Of crimes daily in nearly every daily
paper, but when it comes, US, it should cause
more and deeper thinking and better resolutions
! by every man, woman and child.

RadiO-If World ReyOIts!

The world revolution Of the prolctariat will come
says Leon Trotsky Of Russia, when the workers of
France seize the Eitfel Tower radio station and
broadcast the clarion of revolt to all corners cf the
earth.
Trotsky made this declaration to emphasize to
his communist listeners the importance of radio
to the life Of the soviet.
His speech opens up interesting avenue Of
speculation. The possibilities suggested are bound
less What might not one accomplish if one could
din one certain doctrine, nightly into the ears of
millions Of people?
Well, to be sure, the people could turn off their
receiving sets and go to the movies. But there is
no denying that in radio have power for prop
uganda ten times strong anything that has
existed heretofore.
Do you remember the days. when President
Wilson sent the message of democracy and freedom
ringing round the world, swung millions Of hearts
to the allied and broke down the resistance
OF the German masses?
Pamphlets, by the thousands, were taken over the
enemy lines by arplanes and dropped for peasants
and workers and soldiers to read Speakers shouted
the message, almost literally from the housetopS.
Magazines and newspapers took up the word. BY
1.-THE end Of 1918 the entire world was persuaded
where justice and truth lay.
The job magnifcently done. But think how
it could have been done if radio, as know it now
had been available! Think what can be done some
day in the future, when some message is to b"
sent crying out to the waiting world
Will the soviet, the communists, be the first to do
it? Will they bring about their much talked of
"world revolution with radio as their main weapon
Probably no. And yet
See to it that they do not get the chance. See to
that the right to free speech both over the radio
and on the street corner, is kept nviolate. See
to it that injustice is done away with, intolerance
is made less intolerant and poverty is allevated
Steer clear Of censors and burcaucrats.
BY doing we shall spike their guns.
We needn't fear bolsheviks or any other kind OF

A Halt en- COnfiScatiOn
(Chicapo Journal of Commerce

Chicago Journal Of Commercc)
The United States supreme court has just made
two important decisions striking hard blows at the
confiscatory practices CT legislative bodies.
In one of these decisions the court put the stamp

proof that Mr.. Schlesinger had been anticipating

the death-tax.

that refunds will be obtanable by all persons who

Your Diploma Can't Do the Thinking

not give him anything that would help him "get on
in the world" As result, eight months after
graduation he finds himself holding down poorly
