The meeting was in charge of H. B. Megran of Harvard, vice-chairman of the Blackhawk area of Boy Scouts. Probably one of the feature events of the summer for Scouts of the' county will be the big Jamboree at Washington next July when thousands of Scouts from all over the world will assemble it the capital city. MjcHenry county's quota for thfs event is seventeen. Scouts must have certain qualifications to make this trip and contests are being held tn the various troops in 'the district with the hopes that each troop will send one Scout to this Jamboree. MeHenry, Fox River Grove and Huntley indicated that they have already made plans for the sending of one Scout from their troops. From the manner in which the represent* tivea of other troops expressed themselves it is likely that all of the troops will send a Scout. v This trip will not only be enjoyable but educational. It is too early to tell just what the program will be but there is no doubt it vrill be full of worthwhile events for the Scouts. A general tour of Washington and its historic sights will be one feature. The huge encampment when thousands of the Scouts assemble together will be another. t It is expected that President Roosevelt will spend some time tn camp with the Scouts as he is an enthusiastic backer of the Scout program. It is expected that world known men will be present and it isn't at all unlikely that the Prince of Wales may be among those present.

To set in m o t i o n c e r t a i n forces under direct federal control, for the purpose of eliminating crime and establishing detective agencies for locating criminals, Is a praiseworthy procedure. But, let us ask, are such organized efforts the most important task in driving out crime? The most serious menace in our social life is not the criminal, hut the conditions in our inoderu society which tolerate the criminal and encourage him in his crime. Crime is fun damentally a moral and not a legal problem. We can no more rid the country of crime by legislation than we can solve the problem of world peace by adding an amendment to our conJ stitutlon. We tried by legislation to force prohibition. How miserably we failed, ^n the drive against crime forces are to be reckoned with other than discovery and punishment of the criminal. So long as crime i& exhibited on the i silver screen as a daring adventure, and certain portions of the public press glorify the criminal, we will not get far in eliminating crime. It is one thing to cut down the Canadian thistle ]which destroys the field. It is quite another thing to tear it up by the roots BO it will not grow again. Discovery nnd punishment of crime is only a part of the task. It Is like cutting down the Canadian thistle. It does not get bt the source or cause Yvuth goes rjvrong through neglect perhaps more than by deliberate choice. Why not Itind more. wholesome recreation and honest work for the Idle youth of our land. Unpunished crime is a subject jupon which an entire volume could be written. Delay in court proceedings and successful efforts to thwart justice lio not lessen the inclination to crime. iWmove politics from our courts and -tnisiness from crime and we shall have taken a long step forward in creating the support of public sentiment withut which any drive against crime cannot succeed. Abraham Lincoln said, ?Without .public sentiment no cause ean win. With public sentiment no cause can fail. The man who creates public opinion Is greater than the legislator who formulates law, as public Opinion makes the enforcement of law * poedbility." ©. WaaUra Newspaper OWoe. .
