the reason why so much of this crime
can be laid at our own feet.
No, by killing murderers we are
only destroying the moth and leaving
the worm.
In order to Danish crime we must
eliminate the causes of it. We must
get at the very root of the ailment.
Like in killing mosquitoes and dis.
ease germs we must destroy their
breeding places. Otherwise how can
the ravages be checked? And is not
our social order an ideal breeding
place for criminal tendencies? Abso-
lutely. Social conditions have much
to do with criminal action. A person
somewhat weak in character might
never be guilty of criminal action if
he had the right kind of social en-
vironment. The moral attitude of a
community has considerable to do
with the amount of crime committed.
Defective legislation, our judicial ma
chinery, and methods of punishment
may actually increase crime.
If bad social conditions are the re-
suit of social neglect, why may not
better social conditions be secured by
careful conscious planning by society?

HICKMAN

In introducing a discussion Oh
1.-The Modern Youth l mentioned
Lindbergh as brilliant example of
youth who dares, who loves pure adj
venture. In the progress of the dis
cussion some one asked, What about
Hickman" Yes, What about Hick-
man."
The newspapers are doing their
best to cause the public to exclaim:
HANG HIM! They are only too eager
to spread a lot of bunk about the
case. Why, within one week, did they
contradict themselves, as they most
certainly did? Why have they spread
lot of sloppy literature that bears
no relation to the case? They are
only too eager to serve two masters.
How would we feel if we were in
Hickman's place? 1t is always so
easy to condemn others. What would
we say in our own defense? We would
probably have much to say; for there
is much to be said. Do not get the
impression that Hickman is wholly
innocent. A man committing so grue-
some a deed does not need our pity
but rather our sympathy.
Why should society hang man
or worse yet, imprison him for life
when in most cases society itself was
to blame for his killing of another
person?
According to the Bible, which we
must admit states the truth, the body
in itself is nothing unless it possesses
spirit, and there are two kinds of
spirits: good and bad. Jesus said:
The devil was a murderer from the
beginning" Now if a man chooses
to be a slave to vice and crime, and
uses his body, Gods temple, as a
means for. furthering his dirty work,
l will ask, can you destroy evil by
hanging? Of course, not!
Is it not the height of folly to de-
stroy the body of a man and let the
devil go? Is not the state a murderer
itself when it kills a man? Why has
the state more right to kill a man
than you have? Is it not ridiculous
to think of the state, being composed
of individuals, killing it's own mem
bers?
Christ came into this world to de-
stroy evil. He showed us to destroy
evil by loving our enemies and to adj
minister good unto those that harm
us. BUT, are we following His
teachings? No, we are too slack in
initiating His ways and in too many
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-01-19

With someone else than their lonely
boy.
They're hanging a boy at the break
of dawn,
The one that the world will blame
it on
Hickman, you have done wrong.
But you obeyed your impulses and
your passions, and society has made
you so. You are not entirely to
blame. Many have preceded you
who for less offenses have lost their
lives. A society that produces indi-
viduals like you is by no means per-
feet. Our social order has wrecked
your life, will leave your mother very
unhappy, but some day the good will
triumph. When we realize our social
order is corrupt we shall experience
the truth in the following statement.
If we believe in Christ we must re-
ject our present day social order and
create a new order based upon the
principles of the teachings of Jesus
God speed that new order!
1t would be interesting to know how
others felt and reacted towards this
burning issue.
Yours for better society,

MOTOR PRODUCTS
GAIN IN BRITAIN
Industry Now Holds Same
Rank There as in u. S.,
Report Shows.

The manufacture Of automotive pred
ucts in Great Britain has progressed TO
point where it ranks first among the
engineering industries Of that country,
a trade bulletin just issued by the Com
merce Department reveals. In TIE
British economic structure 1t holds the
same relative position as the American
automotiye industry IN the United
States.
The remarkable rise in British pro
duction of motor vehicles is shown bg
production figures since 1907 In that
year the combined output of passenger
cars and trucks totaled only 10000 We
hicles: in 1922 this figure had advanced
to 10000, while in 1926 British makers
turned out approximately 133,500 pas
ser1ger cars and Al 500 trucks. OF late
years, the progress Of the motor cycle
industry has been comparable TO the
automotive. In 1919, $1,000 motor
cycles were turned out while the pro-
duction figure in 1926 was 10000 units.
The 10000 cars and trucks produced
in Great Britain during 1926 represents
a factory value of approximately S21O,-
600 900. More than 500, 100000 capital
is invested in the passenger-car manu-
featuring industry alone.
Many Light Cars.
Because Of the domestic taxation sys-
tenn which is based on horsepower, the
bulletin discloses, British manufacturers
have evolved many types OF light cars
ranging from to IL horsepower. Such
cars have small bore and long-stroke
engines which while furnishing SUM-
Gent power on British roads are un-
suitable in many foreign markets where
hiph-nowered vehicles are required. AS
a result of this condition, the British
industry has lost valuable outlets for
volume sales which would. have per-
mitted greatly increased production IN
home factories. .-,..,.,
According to the report, Great Britain
