No Honor In Crime

If the outlawed element Of society could be given
enough rope it would hang itself undoubtedly. But in the
process 1t would destroy entirely too many innocent by
ISLANDERS. When one gang makes war upon another, in
the sinister fashion Of the underworld, it is sounding a
warning to cemetery sections to get busy. However, these
self-dug graves are always surrounded by slim green
plots of innocent victims.
New evidence of this has come from the Michigan
state prison at Marquette, where three gangsters, foiled
In an attempt at escape, and one confederate, committed
suicide. The three desperadoes realized that they would
be captured. They twisted Patrick Henry's challenging
words, give me liberty or give me death" to their own
crooked needs. They weren't game enough to meet their
conquerors. So they killed themselves.
But as they started their attempt at freedom they
g~angsters sometimes are better sports than that. The
three men pretended they were ill. They appealed to DR..
"A. w. Hornbogen for medical attention which was grant
ed Immediately. Probably laughing to themselves at their
own cleverness the crooks cold-bloodedly killed the
physician.
Blood thirsty enemies of society can scarcely be call
ed men. They are motivated entirely by beastly motives,
and if another is in their way, he must die. Not because
he has wronged them. Just because he happens to be
there. With so many finer interests in the world it is re-
grettable that society must spend so much of its time and
trolled in any other fashion. This element must be
stamped out before people will be free to pursue more
pleasant lines of interest.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are all en-
dangered today. More so, because the criminal-minded
have access to the same scientific knowledge that the pro-
The Michigan men were. When they were defeated they
killed themselves rather than face the consequences. A
good 'old-fashioned scare may not convert a desperate
but it will protect an innocent man sometimes.

Adventure Turns Pro

People who say that adventure died when the gold
rush ended and the telephone and wireless started to
make national hook-up have a dwarfed idea what con-
stitutes a striking enterprise.
The dim, dead past never pinned its hopes on an
Anne and Indy who went flying gaily around the world.
The colonel and his lady have combined adventure and
romance in a way that shows what novices the Round
Table Knights really were. No other age ever had an
intrepid explorer like Sir George Hubert wilkins who in
sisted on finding a new passage under the Polar ice. New
er before has a gigantic piece of aircraft like "The
Akron been set for the sky as ships in the old brave tales

gest feat was riding a horse to Jerusalem and having a
battle or two on the way. Adventure had an amateur
touch yesterday. Today it has turned professional.
