One ihmihtor lfa Chicago, when aha to OMEN are no «iore criminally inclined today than they were a generation ago, but men have increased in criminal tendency. There has been an increase of crime in both sexes, but women have fewer opportunities to break the law. The average reaction by men and women to crime is about the same. Crime among women has increased almost in ratio to the gain in population, while crime among men has increased faster, because men in business life have greater opportunity for law-breaking. The contagious state of mind is a major factor in the increase of crime to which we pay too little attention, and about which there has been too little scientific research. I think newspapers, unintentionally, are very large contributing factors in the spread of crime. Publication of details of ways in which crimes are committed create a mental fever on the part of youthful readers who have no very powerful balance or home training. Cheap, yellow fiction stories creato similar fever, but true stories have a far more intense contagion. Comparatively few criminals really reform and lead law-abiding lives after they are once convicted. The majority of women prisoners in federal prisons now are serving sentences for violation of n4reotic laws. The second largest number i« held for stealing automobiles. Women and girls who engage in banditry have the "dare-devil spirit" and criminal associates. There are just as many girls and women who lead men into crime as there are men who lead women into The contagion works both ways. Pacifist Doctrines Never in Have Created a History of World Nation By CHARLES B. BOBBINS, Assistant Secretary of War. , The United States became a nation as a result of war and will endure only so long as its people are willing to offer their, lives, if necessary, to its defense. No pacifist doctrine ever created a nation--no pacifist doctrine ever maintained a nation- -they are destructive rather than constructive-- and it is organizations such as the Women's Patriotic Conference on National Defense that furnish the best response to their fallacy of complete disarmament, the response of nationalism to internationalism. You hear continuously the demand to outlaw war, but no nation has ret devised a means of outlawing war, and in spite of the large number of persons who passionately advocate such a measure, we do not find a plan to secure this country or any other country from the perils of .armed conflict. ' Many demand that the nation completely disarm as an initial step toward perpetual peace. It would be as logical to disband the fire departments to prevent fires, or the police'departments to prevent crime. Human nature must change before we can rely upon peace and good will throughout the world. Comparison of American and British Jurisprudence a Matter of Deep Moment By F. H. COLLIER, St. Louis Journalist 22, 1928 British judges are nonpartisan. They serve, on good behavior, for life. It seems to be quite accurate to say that the judge tries the cast and the jury only assist him. We, in America, wonder why British jvtrisprudence is so much'more efficient than ours. Re^ntly a Philadelphia judge ordered a matt to be tried* s third time after twice being convicted. In all England during an entire year only two casesfwere sent back for retrial. A flour mill which ground a grist twice or )l steel plant which rolled a steel rail twice and did it repeatedly would soon be bankrupt. Retrials of court cases in the United States cost an enormous amount of time and money. Some of the foregoing statements are made by "Girard" in his department in the Philadelphia Inquirer. They appear to be partially illuminating upon the subject of crime prevalence in this country. So far, we have at least reached the point where people are studying the causes of the tremendous moral slump that crime roots in. Some blame it on inefficient legal administration; others on lack ol early moral training. May not both be partially right? Twice Told Tales • •'5 a."-;?' Interesting Bits of News Takes From, the Columns of ||£. Plaindealer Fifty ' Twenty-five Years March 1878 John Seipes' a half-witted fellow stole a pocket book, containing $30, on Friday last, from a shoemaker who works for Fred Schnorr. The contest in big eggs still continues. The last was left on our desk by Mrs. Dr. Howard, and measures 8x7 inches and weighed 4% ounces. The hands at the pickle factory are now filling orders for seventeen c§r loads of pickles. They also have men at work making nine more tubs for that institution. F. G. Mayes, merchant tailor has just recieved a new stock of goods, for the spring and summer trade, which those in want of clothing will do well to call and examine. J. F. Harvey caught in the river on Monday morning last an eel that measured two feet ten inches and weighed about four pounds. He also had several very fine pickerel. Elgin has got the Best. That is, Best, the baker, moved down .there last week, having closed up his bakery here and purchased one ire that city. McHenry is now without a bakery. Will Thurlwell killed on Thursday morning last, on the river, a fag* white swan. There were four in the flock and hunters had been following them all the day before but failed to> get in the telling shot. It was a splendid looking bird. We believe they are having it stuffed. March 1909 Clinging to a small piece of with one leg wound tightly around it, the body of 8-year-old Frank Holtz, who was drowned at Dundee, December 26, 1902, was found Sunday mornr mg in the river a little north of tfhe Tower building at Elgin. The log had become wedged in the trestle in its progress down the stream. Yesterday noon Will Krause, Ed Walsh, Ben Buss and "Peggy Feltz boarded a freight train, intending to jump off at the crossing near the pickle factory. The first three named left the train at that point, but "iPeggy" determined to ride to the Borden factory. He did! It may be well to mention however, that he did more. The train had gained suck speed when it reached the factory that "Peggy" decided not to jump.. For all we know to the contrary he is still going north. During the past few weeks farmers throughout .the coilntry .havse been compelled to travel over roads that were well nigh impassable, owing to the heavy rains accompanying the first warm weather. The highways are now in a frightful condition and it will require a large outlay of money and hard work on the part of the commissioners to put them in condition again. iT • ^ • Save a Dollar with a dime's wortn ooIl 'meneeKrg& S-* Frequent small deposits are more effective in building sub* stantial savings accounts tha% waiting for hoped-for large sunS| to add to the account once in |T while.

The growing use of injunctions in labor disputes is reducing the American working man to a condition of involuntary servitude, and labor demands legislation to protect itself. In the midst of all the confusion which has been created through the issuance of injunctions affecting labor, working men and women hold it is more essential to the preservation of the republic that labor should remain free, economically and industrially free, than that some corporation's goods should, at the cost of the exploitation of unprotected workers, be shipped in interstate commerce. Human rights should take precedence over property rights. It is this distinction which labor seeks to legally establish through the passage of legislation which it proposes as a remedy for court injunctions. We propose that the equity courts return to the original purpose and use of the equity power, which was protection of physical, tangible property. disbelief in Christian Faith Is Rapidly Approaching the Inevitable Reaction By ttV. DR. JOHN HENRY HOPKINS, Chicago (Episcopal). With regard to the outlook of Christianity there are plenty of pessimists at the present time. Some are merely negative critics, like Henry L. Mencken and his clan. He is merely superficial and of no particular' value to anybody except as a symptom of the times. We hear a lot about behaviorism and a mechanistic universe, whicST means, in plain English, that we have ho minds and that there is no Got in the commonly accepted sense of the word. Disbelief has shot its last bolt in making such contentions. Nothing is toft now for the disbeliever except the denial of all personality, responsibility, morality and justice, or else the acceptance of the foundations of what is the Christian faith at its apex. you 'll choose an AllrAmerican Six ^ i J-J MILLER'S STORE j GENERAL MERCHANDISE A Od&D PLACE TO TRADE Iff JJULJPBM OF WEATHER "V.
