Editorial Comment
Thrill Bandits?-Blah!
minneapolis Journal)

minneapolis JOurnaD
We are asked to believe that the two sneak
thieves who looted st. Paul homes while be-
ing educated at the University at the states
expense are exceptionally brilliant students.
We are also asked to believe that, bored with
the humdrum of ordinary campus life, they
stole for the thrill Of it.
That is asking us to believe too much. The
two statements simply do not jibe. Nor can
all the sophistry in the world make them even
appear to jibe.
The boy who has any real business in the
University, the student of any genuine mental
brilliance, need not look outside for his thrills.
Conversely, the boy who finds himself "bored
with life" among the myriad avenues of men,
tai adventure which the University curriculum
opens to him, is as out of place in the Univer-
sity as an accordion player in symphony or
chestra.
We are asked to believe that one of these
boys has the makings of gifted poet, the
other the makings of gifted artist.
We have seen some Of the pictures and some
of the poetry produced by the pair. For the
one who aspires to fame in the field of pictorial
art, there is perhaps chance that he may
make living at it some day, provided he
spends many long hours in practice. And it
looks as though he may soon have opportunity
to do so in the seclusion Of the st. Cloud re-
formatory.
But OF the other, ne VINO would serve the
Muses. Euterpe and Erato-the likelihood that
he will ever be able to write poetry, to judge
from the samples at hand, is at least no great
er than the likelihood that George H. Remus
will be elected head of the Anti-Saloon League.
We are asked to believe, also, and this time
by the jailed students themselves, that SEN
fences to penal servitude, if now imposed, will
ruin two promising careers. Shucks! If there
are any promising careers being ruined, the
running was done by the boys themselves
when they began stealing things out Of other
folks homes. That they were caught with the
goods this early in the game may have saved
, them from eventually becoming murderers.
| Furthermore, proper punishment will not
wreck any talents that are really present. The
late Sidney Porter did time in penitentiary
contrasted with which the St. Cloud reforma-
tory is pleasure resort. And after he cams
out he became, under the name Of o. Henry
the most popular story writer Of his time
though scarcely the best.
] But our own guess is that young men VIII.
cannot find thrills in the pursuit of learning
boys to whom sneak thievery has a more allur
ing appeal than the fascinating exploration O.
the mazes of science and history and art AM
literature, haven't any careers to be ruined.
