1t was his money that led Sinclair to believe he
could defy the United States Senate and refuse to
answer their questions about vital public matter.
The Senate had possessed power to summon
witnesses before it in the exercise of its business
from the days of the adoption of the Constitution.
1t had done so, and its power had seldom been
questioned
Yet, Sinclair believed his wealth powerful

Sham Agreements

Without going farther with the
discussion what Japan thinks, and
what she can do If she sets her
heart on it, is more than enough to
illustrate the sham Of limiting ma
vies by agreement.
You might just as we'll ask gov
ernments to sign a contract of de-
feat in advance.

sonable assurance of justice on the
other.

"CRIMINAL TYPE" A MYTH

There is such thing as definite criminal
type says Edwin j. Cooley, professor of crimnology
at Fordham University, who has just finished two
year survey of more than 5000 New York criminals.
He adds that the common suppostion that most
criminals are subnorma mentally is erroneous;
that there is SINGLE specific cause for the prev
alence of crime and that the correction OF crime
is primarily problem of dealing with youth, since
81 per cent of the criminals tried in New York were
under 25 years of age.
"Sentimentality, blind rage hysteria or drastic
punishment will not cure youthful delinquency" he
declares. He goes to say that entire legal
and correctional machinery must be overhaued,
and we must approach the problems from an en-
trely angle.
His report Is worth thinking about. Sooner or
later will have to devote ourselves to the sub
ect scientifically 1t is to be hoped that his findings
will help to advance that day.

Question.
Nv M. r. Tracy

If Japan is to be limited to three
tons of navy for every five tons al
lowed England and the United
States, why should she keep any
navy at all?
That is the question Japanese
statesmen and editors are asking
each other right now.
What is the navy for, they want
to know, if not to provide adequate
national defense, and how can ma
tional defense be looked upon as
adequate if it falls short of the
known strength of possible enemies?

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW

telling you about "Revelry," I went
to the Ayres Book Shop and obtained
copy for review.
This novel kept me interested but
not alarmed. In my early news
paper days, i passed through several
pretty stiff campaigns of the paper
that employed me. These campaigns
had to do with exposing crooked poll
tics and grating officials.
And so from first hand knowledge
l was not surprised or startled that
somebody by the name of Samuel
Hopkins Adams has written a novel
about a president of the United
States" who was such a weakline
and so devoted to his false friends
that they stole about everything
from the Capitol but its dome.
Graft can enter the high places,
and when a politician is honest. ef-
flcient and square with all-then he
is another miracle. This thought
seems to come to many people who
have read "Revelry."
Invites Imagination
When one reads in "Rsvelry" that
the head of a nation sneaked out
of the White House to play poker
and drink into the wee small hours
of a national prohibition morning,
and then reads of the president"
known in the story as Willis Mark
ham, a former Senator who became
president" visiting the home of a
wise" woman for. mental compan.
ionship, and then reads of hospital
supplies being sold at ridlculously
low prices to the favored few who
made a fortune out of the transac-
tions-one's imagination starts work
ing at first. And then, rs in my
case. / seemed to have the thought
and the conviction that Willis Mark
ham of "Revelry" once had dou-
BILE probably in real life.
for one could not keep that
thought out of my mind. Maybe
it is just trick of the author, who
saw a chance to capitalize upon
hundreds of rumors which were said
to have been afloat not only in
Washington during a certain admin
istration.
Some have said that "Revelry" Is
political history. 1 for one am going

CHANGED Views

Japan will go to the arms confer
ence which President Coolidge has
called with revised views.

the point where she would be at
the mercy of England. and the
United States does not look so good
as 1t did.
Whether she is alarmed at the
turn of Asiatic affairs, or has been
infected by what has become near
epidemic of Imperialism. she appears
to have altered her attitude.

MEDITATION: The attempt to
understand the nature of God, Fa-
Their, Son and Spirit is praiseworthy.
Is this too deep a mystery for us?
1t is not difficult to conceive of the
Jesus of Galilee and Jerusalem as
continuing in company with God;
that is; it is easy If He Himself Is a
spirit and not simply a physical be-
ing. Materialism sees the extinction
of that person when nerve cells
cease their work. Faith on the other
hand sees those nerve cells as the
temporary instrument of a spirit too
loving to be allowed to cease living.
God lives; so does Christ, The Spirit
brings him to us. We walk in that
presence. Let us walk reverently and
lovingly.
LET me love Thee for what Thou
are, not for what Thou givest."
HYMN
Dear Lord and Father of man
kind,
Forgive our feverish ways;
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our striving cease;
Take from our souls the strain
and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats Of our
desire
Thy GOODNESS and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb. let flesh re-
tire;
Speak through the earthquake,
wind and fire,
o still small voice of calm.
