Editorial Comment
Youth and Crime
THE New York Times)


Statistics presented by the subcommittee OF the
New York State Crime Commission tend to sup
port the statement made by Clarence S. barrow
that almost all crimes committed by boys IN
their teens by those who began a criminal career
at that age. The median age for those who commit
robberies is not over %. Saving criminals is in
the last analysis saving children" Even our i'm
perfect statistics show that the dangerous age is
constantly growing younger
The testimony Of Mr. barrow has special weight
in view Of the theological opinions imputed to him,
and Of his opportunities for observing those accused
Of crime 1t is to the effect that the child must
be fortified by teaching and not alone by that but
by habits formed in response to it. 1T is only
rarely that "a boy carefully trained and fitted for
life is sent to jail" The teaching to which he
looks is moral and religious, with such education
as will result in forming and fixing character
through habitua doing. "The protection of the
child or grown person comes from habit" Hence
the public schools coming to make place for
those habit-forming precepts and practices which
lead to the righteous development of the individual
and the protection of society In the revision of the
curriculum for the New York public schools this is
specifically planned.
Attention must also be given as Justice Appel
of the Chdren's Court of Westchester County has
suggested, to mending the habits of those who have
started IN the wrong OlrectlOn-tne JuVenlIe OF
fendersA That New York City is doing better in
dealing with these than the upstate counties is
to be inferred from the figures presented by Sena-
tor Knights committee The difference is attrib-
utabe especially to the more efficient probation
work in the city. But after all, that is a make
shift. 1t is difficult and disappointing at best
The advice which Dr. Cooley, Chief Probation Of
fcer of the New York County General Sessions
Court gives to parents goes to the root of the
matter:
If your child shows tendencies toward per-
sistent mischief, take him to the best psychia-
trist available. Have the child thoroughly exam
ined physically and mentally. Science will
provide way for you to correct his faults.
II you fail to do So there will come time when
society," the law, will ask the penalty of your
neglect. And the child, as we'll you. must
pay and pay heavily
With the massing Of millions in the great centers
where parental authority longer has its former
scope or power, society looks more and to the
school, which, with the church, should be but the
| bulwark Of the home.

News and the Associated Press

: In the recent speech of Edgar T. Cutter Of the
Associated Press before the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union convention at Min
neapoiis. some pertinent facts were set forth.
:. One of these facts was this: that, by its very
nature, the Associated Press must be impartial and
can have no interest in taking sides any question
This is probably the most vital feature of the
Associated Press news reports their mpartiality
Every so often, some organization comes out with
: the charge that the Associated Press is favoring
something to which this group is opposed But
lit is not true. The diversity of beliefs of the 200
odd publishers who make up the Associated Press
= pre6ludes the possibility of such thing The As
ISOLATED Press chronicles only what is news 1t
: it happens that the antiprohbitionsts engage, at
particular time in activities which of real
= news value the activities will be chronicled II the
prohbitionsts do the thing, their activities
= will be given space on the wire. But in either
there will be merely statement of the facts and no
y coloring of the news.
Some people apparently cannot realize this fact
$ If any given organization happens to be more in
the news one week, its opponent Immediately pops
z up and charges the Associated Press with
: favoritism.
= But careful examination of any Associated Press
dispatch of this nature will show that only the facts
are given: only the news, and the authority for It
s and no more. II is this impartality which has en-
abled the Associated Press to maintain its steady
: progress, unhampered and unafraid.

The Lustrous Bobby Jones
minneapolis Tribune)

It is not too much to say that as a golf playe.
Bobby Jones is for the time being in class by him
self. His primary in the sport was rather clearly
established on the other side Of the Atlantic. That
primacy has been amazingly well confirmed by what
happened last week on the Minikahda course.
Not alone in the final and conclusive match
against Chick Evans was the supremacy of the At
lantan demonstrated. Bobby showed his rare skill
perhaps we may even say his unprecedented skill
by his successive achievements in the long elm
ination process At every stage speaking in the
broad way, he was not only master Of his own ster
ling resources, but master of those whom he OPP
posed. The record of his competitive play was
quite different from the stories that printed
about his preliminary practice for the tournament
test.
The best America has today in the game was in
the competition champions and ex-champions and
the cream Of the newer contenders. Not all Of them
was matched personally against Bobby Jones' bu:
none of them showed himself to be in this contest
| the peer OF the young man from Dixie. Stable
nerves, stable skill and stable quality through
out the Jones game, and they put him winner
Yes there was superb play by other competitors
whose work flashed at times with brilliancy of the
sort that takes the breath away, but Jones bril-
liant nearly all the time and he seemed to be more
and more the captain Of his golf soul as the tourn-
ament drew toward its exciting close.
Bobby's past on the links is something that can
not be taken away from him. His name is written
high on the honor roll Of the game, and written in
glowing characters. and yet his fate, will be the
common fate Of all who have preceded him in lus-
trous performance Another will arise. sooner OF
later to conquer him II he chooses to match his skill
with the skin Of others in tournaments to come
Some exceedingly promising young eligibles for
rank among the elect appeared in the Minikahds
competition What these will be able to do next
year or the year after five years hence. no one
can say. They may equal or even surpass the per-
Torrance Of Bobby Jones last week. The "impos
sible" nearly always becomes the possible in dus
course. Just now the standing Of America in tn,

A Tangible Means of Appreciation

Bismarck can look forward with pleasure to the
arrival of troops at Fort Lincoln, definitely sched-
uled for September or October
Untold benefit will accrue to this city from the
fort. There will be nearly 500 men quartered there
ind they who will spend their money in
Bismarck. Farmers, too. will profit by the garrison
ing since it will provide outlet for much of their
produce. ~
1t should be borne in mind that the money being
spent by the War Department to renovate the fort
buildings is being spent in Bismarck-every nickel
of it. The at work cleaning up the grounds
and repairing the buildings are Bismarck and Bur-
leigh county men, The materials used in the work
arc being purchased, not in the Twin Cities or
Fargo, but here in Bismarck.
1t is a fine thing the War Department is doing.
land all of US realize what this garrisoning to
Bismarck, not only in dollars and cents but also in
she favorable publicity which will be given the city
by having the only garrisoned fort in the state.
Then too, the fort will be a show place for the
city It will be something for the tourists to see.
land those who do will very likely leave Bismarck,
remembering it as the place where Fort Lincoln
is. as we'll as the progressive capital city OF
the state
= But there are more tangible ways than merely
commenting on the worth whileness of the fort in
which we can show our appreciation. One OF them
is to see that good road is built, and maintained
to the fort
- The present road is not in the best of shape and
with the greatly increased traffic which is bound
with the opening Of the fort, it will be bro
ken down within very short time. 1t is up to the
city of Bismarck to that good road is con-
structed and quickly. Not only would such road
be of benefit to those at the fort but would also
be Of benefit to travellers going to points south on
-.the river road.
In no better way than this can Bismarck show
its appreciation of this fine thing the War Depart
ment is doing in regarrsoning the fort It is q
sthing which must rank of the most important
in the history of the city The cost Of fixing anc
maintaining the road will be far outweighed By
the benefits, in monetary we'll other ways

4 GIRL IN HOLLYWOOD

A miss of 10 summers, Ann
Christy, went to Hollywood-like so
many others-a year ago. Her home
town, Logansport. Ind, lacked "op-
portunities," especially film oppor-
tunities. Anyway. she went TO the
mecca of filmdom and now she is
a leading lady, the next thing to be-
ing a star.
The gentleman OF the films who
noticed something about her above
the average was Harold Lloyd. We
are not informed, however, wheth-
err he saw the spark of genius or
the spark Of beauty; whether she
got a Job as super and by her aston
ishing department outclassed all
other supers, or whether there was
something about the color of her
eyes which struck Harold as indicat-
ing film success. At any rate, she's
leading the Lloyd procession and is
making the old home town wonder
how it neglected her "undoubted
talents
1t is scarcely enough TO be told
that she is brown haired and blue
eyed. But that's all the nasty press
agent let us know about her so far
Perhaps that is quite enough for
the present. The picture press agents
are somewhat peculiar; rarely do
they dilate extensively upon wheth-
err the girls can act. That might in
dictate that acting is not so import
ant In the pictures, especially if a
leading lady has brown hair and
blue eyes and is easy to look upon
during closeup.
For one such success in Hollywood
there are thousands of failures.
Girls troop there by the train load;
it is a town where girls are as
plentiful as in Troy, n. Y, and al
most every restaurant waitress
dreams of a glorious future as a
leading lady or a star. The town has
the prettiest collection of females on
the globe, 1t is said, and they hail
from almost everywhere.
The sad thing about Ann Christy's
success Is that some 10000 other
hopefuls, reading about it, will get
tired OF their home towns and take
the train to California There they
will add their charms to the sum
total already there. intensifying the
competition and thriving on hope
while they exc out existence at
much more mental tasks than they
ever considered in their home
towns.
Occasionally, very occasionally, in
fact, some girl flashes to the front

SUNDAY GASOLINE

The feared gasoline war did not
come to a climax in Chicago over
Sunday, but it served to call atten-
ton to the dire inconvenience that
would be caused in this age Of Sun
day driving if the supply of this
propulsive fluid were shut off in any
large city upon this day.
Under present conditions all our
gasoline stations are open for bust
ness on the Sabbath, and perhaps
more gasoline is sold on that day
than any other. But there are those
who claim, perhaps with consider
able justification, that if all motor
lists supplied themselves with a full
tank Of gasoline on Saturday fully
half the filling stations could re-
main closed on Sunday. If not more
than half.
