 Great Criminal Lawyer SAME THING WITH CROOKS
Famous Chicago Attorney, in Prince ton Interview, Expresses His Be- lief that Mans Life Is Pres1es- tined.

Princeton. \. J., Jan. 20 UP)- Fate alone guided Clarence Darrow to the heights he has reached as q criminal lawyer. and fate alone guides criminals along paths of lawlessness against their wills, he believes.

mands the best Thought OF everyone. IT'S
country cannot continue along happy lines
with only sections of the country prosperous.
Prosperity must be passed around if any
body is long to enjoy it, This question can
not be solved by the farmers alone, but the
majority opinion is that there is no egisla-
tive remedy for agriculture. 1t is an eco
nomic question pure and simple and must be
worked out accordingly.
A few years ago it was contended that
agriculture did not have sufficient credit
facilities. That proposition was often made
political question. do not presume there
are many who will question the fact that
agriculture now has ample credit facilities.
