Let's Go to War on Crime!
Continued from page two

The warden said recently he is receiv-
ing as high as seventy new ones a
week, mostly young fellows.
The second step in this battle of the
century against crime is to apply the
remedy. Fortunately. pioneers have
been experimenting for years and have
proved in countless individual cases
and situations that the remedy is
known.
In the main, the procedure is simply
the scientific and humane one of
guiding boys Alright in their formative
years and giving them adequate and
legitimate expression to their normal
impulses.
In spite of the Loebs and Leopolds,
the crime complexes faddists hatch up
today and the attempts of sentiment
talists and other weaklings to relieve
human nature of the element of re-
sponsibility, most criminals are suf-
ficiently normal and intelligent to have
responded to right training in time.
A state superintendent of prisons,
supervising 10000 men and boys, said
that not more than Is per cent of his
charges were inherently vicious or
criminally-inclined. The other rs per
cent need not have landed behind the
bars if they had had the right environ
ment and leadership.
No one in his right mind would take
a high-powered automobile onto
main artery of travel, step it up to
sixty miles an hour and then abandon
it to careen where it might. Wreckage
and death would be the outcome.
Only depravity or insanity would
prompt such course.
Yet society does exactly that thing
today with millions of boys. They are
high-powered social machines. cap

delicate flower. He felt that he had
found something very precious. He'd
never felt like this before. He said,
When we get out of this, you're COM
ing to the mainland to live. You're -
we -"
He wanted to ask her to marry him
then and there. but he couldn't put the
thing into words. He drew her close
and slowly her arms moved up and
around his neck. Then kissing him
quickly, she whispered, Good night"

Terry gave her instructions for the
night. She was not to worry. To be

if she could, in the berth above him.
She was to lock the door and call at
the first indication Of danger. Terry
threw himself into the berth of the
cabin directly across the companion
way. Intending to keep awake. he took
off only his shoes.
He was awakened by the sound Of
crashing timber, and the girls scream.
1t was daylight. By the time he got
his shoes on. Finch and the Greek had
broken the door down and had the old
man on deck. Finch met Terry at the
top of the companionway with a
drawn revolver. The Greek had old
Lawson on the floor of the wheelhouse.
and was tying his hands. Joan was
struggling with the Greek, but it was
like an ant attacking an elephant.
Finch shouted, ''We're not waitin'
any longer. The Devlin outfit'll be
showin' up any minute. Keep away. II
you don't like it, we'll get the stuff
without you"
Terry acted as if Finch and the
revolver weren't there. For a second
he stood at the top of the companion
way watching. Then the Greek with
sweep of his arm sent the girl flying.
Like a leaf in the wind. she few across
the cabin, struck the wall and crum-
bled.
Terry stepped past Finch then and
let the Greek have one behind the ear.
He went down. Then it was lights out
for Terry.

way. where is your grandfather now?"
The girl uttered faint laugh. "Oh,
he's safe. They'll never find him, how
ever long they look"
Terry laid down his wrench. Here
was a situation he'd have to handle
himself. He was about to speak when
from the shore there came the sound
of three rapid shots. The girl jumped
toher feet and peered into the darkness.
They've found him." she screamed.
Listening intently. Terry thought
hecouldhear someone crashing through
the brush. Then he heard shout and
recognized the Creeks voice. The girl
hadn't waited. Already she was going
over the side into her boat. Terry
grabbed her. and pulled her back.
Stay here. stay in the deckhouse." )"
She struggled to free herself. He
pinned her arms behind her and tried
to warn her of the danger. And then
looking down at her in the dim lantern
light, Terry could think Of nothing but
the beauty of her face so near his own.
STOPPING, he pressed his lips against
her mouth. For second she continued
to struggle, and then suddenly she
ceased. He could feel her breath against
his face; she was breathing quickly.
Another shot from the shore brought
Terry to his senses. He carried her
into the lounge.
Then in the dingey he rowed toward
the spot whence the shots had come.
Bleaching the boat, he jumped clear.
and looked about. Finding the old man
seemed hopeless. Then he heard a dull
thump. followed by a low moan.
"You fool! Cut it out" 1t was
Finch's voice. He was trying to control
the Greek.
1t was no use trying to talk to old
Lawson. The pursuit across the island
and his capture by the Greek had left
him terrified and shaken. In Terry's
cabin he lay staring about. wide-eyed
with fear. His lips were blue. his thin
face was the color Of a dead fish.
Terry got some rum, and Joan poured
the stuff down his throat. He seemed
calmer after that, but he still refused
to speak. Terry tried to convince him
that he was safe, but it was no use.

BY ROBERT ]. CASEY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MANCHESTER, KY, July 1C
(NAN.A.).-The hillmen came down
to the town, $50 of them. The gaunt
and the fat and the old and the
Young, with carbines and pistols and
Kentucky long rifles, to renew their
allegiance to overlords.
They made their display OF force
(their Lineup" as it has come to be
called in these parts). They glowered
In silence at one another across the
little public square, and, having COM
pleted this odd ceremonial, they dis
appeared.
Probably nowhere else since the col
lapse of the feudal system In France
has there been any such spectacle.
These knights Of the new day, who
tomorrow may die as so many OF
them have died in the past Tin bitches
or mountain paths or on their own
doorsteps), wore the armor OF the
fields-oyeralls and chain-Store cor
duroys.
They spoke a language free from
the symbolism and sentiment OF the
middle ages, but otherwise they were
little different from the hardy AK
wielders who rallied round the gon-
falon of feudal lords.
Strange things have been done In
Clay County. They ambushed and
killed a county prosecutor and sniped
at the citizenry who would have
picked up his body as it lay for most
of a day in the sun and dust. They
shot a police magistrate. They wiped
out three persons of minor Importance
in one nervous fortnight, and fired
on the funeral Of one of them. And
some say that such activities give q
place q bad name.
Manchester, seat Of Clay County,
is the current winner Of the popular
vote as the toughest town on earth.
1t was largely because Of resentment
against the half -merited criticism Of
the world beyond the mountains that
the hillmen came to the lineup OF
arms. But casual observers agree
that there is something about the

knew. The MesHs. Gabbard alighted
heads down. And the crowd pressed
back into doorways. But there was
no more musketry.
Town Marshall Philpott pushed the
dead man away from the wheel, got
into the car and drove 1t himself to
the Baker home at Burning Springs.
And that, save for q funeral and the
beginning Of o jittery period In ths
normally placid life OF Manchester,
was all about Mr.. Baker.
Few persons know and fewer viii
discuss the motivation behind ths
killings In Clay County. But there
have always been two factions In ths
county-the Bakers and the stivers.
Police Magistrate @. p. Stivers, shot
down three years ago, had represented
one side. Commonwealth Attorney
Frank Baker, who lay dead in the
dust for many hours soon afterward.
had been one Of the head men Of the
opposing clan. And with the passing
Of the homesick Bobbie Baker IN the
footsteps Of his father, grandfather,
uncle, cousin and brother, came a
hint OF the recurrence Of tragedy such
as that which once swept Bloody
Breathitt County.
Today the clans Of the Cumberlands
walk armed to the teeth, feudal
troops sworn to the service Of their
particular baronies, while the whittlers
whittle in front of the Webb Hotel
and not so much as q harsh whisper
disturbs the peace and hypnotic re-
pose that is Manchester.
