MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE from the public eye and spend the rest of their days at hard labor. But the feeling of the public will persist that there will eventually be another spectacle such as the Thaw case. He pleaded insanity to avoid the death chair, and the Chicago youths pleaded “diseased minds” for the same purpose. ; ‘Although the father of one declares he will not make an t effort to have him released frcem prison, the public expec- tancy will be that in a few years the “diseased minds” will have been “cured” and an effort made to have the boys released. Whether death is the penalty most feared by criminals whether death sentence acts to curb other murders, is a i matter.of debate. Most men experienced in criminology declare that it does. Quick and severe punishment is a protection for society. Criminals must be held responsible for their acts. Even though Loeb and Leopold were abnor- mal in almost every sense, even abnormally acute ‘minds for boys, it would appear to the average citizen that they, if anyone, ought to be held fully responsible for a cruel, ‘deliberate murder. —— PRECEDENT Conservation of natural resources was tried and failed in 1807, says Professor Graham of Wisconsin State School of ;Mines. He refers to a law passed that year reserving for the public all mineral rights of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. {These rights were to be held forever by Uncle Sam and to ‘be exploited only by short - time leases at high royalties. ‘This leasing system was abolished in 1846, and private initi- «ative and enterprise took charge. What if such a policy did fail in 1807? That doesn’t mean it’d be sure to fail today. In 1821 a submarine was tried out, designed to rescue Napoleon—and failed the very day of his death. Precedent of the past is not always in- fallible, by any means. , FOOLISH A quaint old factory is visited by tourists at Chequers Court, England, near the country home of the British pre- micr. In this factory men manufacture furniture with the most ancient equipment, including lathes made of tree branches and wire, the wheels turned by ropes attached to supple saplings swayed by human hands. z Admittedly, this primitive work is quaint and romantic. But it’s equally foolish. The bold, gallant armored knight .of long ago would have thrown away his lance and used a pistol if he could have gotten it. e FLYING 1 Airplanes from all over the world will take part in the international air races at Dayton, Ohio, in October. The main prize, of course, will be for speed, since flying so far is chiefly a sport. When the goals are safety and pcheap construction, instead of speed and high altitudes, the flying industry will begin developing a dozen times as fast ,a8 Now. hi It was the cheap car, not speed, that “made” the auto Sindustry. History will repeat with planes. e KILLED People killed at railroad grade crossings in 1923 totaled 8582. This is Uncle Sam’s official figure. Killed one by one, they attracted no great furore. If a single accident killed 8582 the country would be alarmed into action. a -The logical action of course, is elimination of dangerous | ergrade crossings as rapidly as possible. Meantime, motorists Nand drivers should play safe — exercise even more caution bethan seems necessary. Chalk “8582” on your windshield. a BETTER pi The iron and steel industry is a tenth busier than it was nca monthsago. It’s still operating half-time or a bit better. Recovery from dull times is not taking place with spectacular speed. Instead there’s a gradual and steady improvement— rwhich is very “healthy.” Study these periods of business depression and learn that they are mainly due to fear. That’s why there can never be too much optimism, for optimism is courage. F( DEBT Another big campaign, European - generated, to induce | (Uncle Sam to cancel war loans to Allies, is about ready to be “sprung.” The usual scheme is for France to “forgive” Italy, England forgive France, and so on. Unfortunately there is no one to forgive us, We'd be left holding the bag. § “Money loaned to Europe was raised by selling Liberty ‘Bonds. If the loans are canceled, the bonds could only be ‘paid off by inereased taxation. a SOUTH } Southern states have a big building pboom—half again as much as a year ago. No other section shows such an in- crease. A great period of construction and prosperity lies Wahead for the south. Watch southern cities grow. Lack of jindustrial power and marketing organizations—these are the ‘south’s handicaps, but they'll be overcome. MORE Nearly four times as much paper is used by Americans in 1889. - Materials for paper-making are becoming arcer, especially pulpwood from forests. The situation ill never be met by reforestation.

Ad- visedly, the commission will make an exhaustive study of the subject all over the world in order that some of the evils which attend the practice of {the system may be avoided. Theoretically, the jury system is ideal, but we have found at times that it does not work so well in practice. This may not be the fault of the system so much as of the jurors. Certainly there is no demand in this country for abolishing the jury system, but there is that the quality of jurors be improved. We have gone to the uttermost ex- treme in providing, especially in murder ‘trials, for the interests of the accused in selecting jurors and giving no consideration to the in- terests of society as represented in the prosecution. If Japan can work out a system of jury trials which eliminates the weaknesses as We have experienced them, yet preserves the principle, we may learn something from them in the way of benefit to us. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON NICK’ GETS. A COMPLIMENT “We're getting along just fine,” said Mister Snip Snap to the Twins. “If we keep on we'll soon have all the children of Meadow-Woods-Barn- yard Land ready for school. But there is one person who hasn't been in to buy anything yet, and that’s Mrs. Frog. She hasn't brought o single one of ‘her boys in to get a school suit, Suppose you go, Nick, and see if you can coax her to come to our store in the woods and get them some clothes.” “AN right,” said Nick. Il go right away.” So off he went. e And it didn’t take him three min- utes to find the place where Mrs. Frog lived because his shoes were magic. You, my dears, would have hunt- ed, and I should have hunted, for days and days together without find- ing her house under the lily pads in the pond. But Nick went right straight to it. And he knocked on her front , how d’ do!” she said, for she was a pleasant person. “I'm pretty well, thank you,” said! Nick, “Anti I hope you are well,/ too!

Here’s a man who has never talked over a phone, seen a movie, heard a radio, chewed gum, eaten ice cream, worn a collar or ridden in a train or auto. And he’s 70 years old. Meet Gus Bishop of Liberty, Mo. Gust lives in the house where he was born. That house and a few miles of territory surrounding it are his empire. Kansas City is only 20 miles away. But Gus has only been ‘to K. C. once. That was 60 years ago. Immanuel Kant lived much the same sort of life. And yet he was one of the great metaphysical philosophers. | | | | | | | | i Why marvel at Gus?

He did ride in Movies, autos, radio, trains and all the rest of the long list of “marvels” are not basic things in life.

New-York, Sept. 11.--Dan is a boot-| black with an exclusive trade. He caters to police commissioners, es and patrolmen, His stand is in front of central police headquarters and he has a monopoly on the shoe-shining busi- ness of the protectors of law and order.

DON’T B “People depend too much on their autos. It would do them good if they had to get out and walk,” the physical director told Mr. Jones. “Everywhere you go, you jump in your flivver. And if the car’s in the garage you take a street car.” There seems little doubt that the auto has made thousands of people “leg lazy.” They become so used to dashing about in it that they seldom do any walking. One Chicago physician “recently sold his car ‘invorder to force him- self to walk to the homes of his FABLES ON HEALTH. “LEG LAZY” patients and thus get the necessary walking.

More business men, particularly |those who have the auto bug or are cifice tied, should arrange their habits so that they do more walking in connection with their daily lives. BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer Washington, “Sept. 11, — When President Coolidge returned from his vacation campaign questions were first to claim his attention, The) president's part in running the campaign has not indeed, been as strenuous as the head of a nation- al ticket’s part usually is, Chairman Rutler of the Republican committee has done most of the managing, but any number of complaints wer piled up, for the chief magistrate’s bene- fit, concerning Butler's methods, These complaints came, practically all, from “old guard” sources The chairman, it appears, is treating the “old guard” all the time with less and less ceremony. Butler has the reputation ot belonging distinctly to the conserva- tive group in his party, but since the Cleveland convention “old guards- men” say he has shown, in some re- spects, almost a perference fot the progressives—not thé La ‘Follette Progressives but the more pragres- sive of the regulars. For instance, it is, understood he has sought for advice concerning political conditions inthe northwest mainly from Senator Howell of Ne- braska, at the same time turning a deaf ear to numerous suggestions. j that Senator Curtis of Kansas is an older hand at the game, and a safer advisor, according to “old guard” ideas.

But why Senator Watson of In- diana seems also to be on the out- side ig more of a puzzle. ha: Nobody seems to think the pro- tests to the White House relative to Butler will accomplish anything, but the “old guard” members ap- parently want to get them on’ record at any rate.
