 Lady Kathleen Simon is being hailed as the inspiration of the movement which will wipe out the last remnant of human slay- cry under the British flag.
 Great astonishment was voiced in the English press a few weeks ago when the announcement was made that 22O,o0O men, women, and children were still slaves here in Sierra Leone. The report was sent by Sir John simon, a lead CT in the Liberal party, who with his wife was making a tour in British Africa.
 The revelation of these condi- tIons was followed quickly by loud popular cIamor for their emancipation. Soon the British Colonial office went into action and the legislative council of the Sierra Leone colony passed an ofdinance which win liber6te tho enslaved people.

CRIME ESSENTIAL TO PROGRESS, s
 ILLINOIS WELFARE YORKER SAYS

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Now 15-- Crime is an essential factor in the progress of the human race, and cannot be eliminated by jails or moral codes, Dr. S. w. Brownstein of the Illinois department of pub lie health believes.
 Dr. Brownstein's views were written for the Illinois Welfare Magazine, publication of the state department, and were considered so unusual that the magazine dis claimed responsibility for. the theories propounded.
 "Crime," says Dr. Brownstein, "is the urge to contrariety, inher- ent in matter, organic or inor- ganic. It is natural phenome- non. the manifestation of all ac- tivity. growth and development. It is the law of life and motion and it's working principle Is beyond the influence of human ingenuity.
 "Can you imagine" he asks, "a progressive social system without expIoiters, thieves. murderers. riots, revolutions, wars? Such I state would spell stagnation and death to the social system. If there was no antagonism, no con trariety, no contrast. there would be no resistance.f Where there Is no resistance, tllere is no force. Where there is 10 force, there E no life"

 Previous enactment in the colo ny had provided that the number of slaves in Sierra Leone coull not be increased by purchase or by birth Children born to pre- sent slaves should be freemen Slaves were given the right also to purchase their liberty. By these means slavery should eveii- tually disappear.
