To “Aunt Liddy,” his housekeeper, he explains that Carter is a chance acquaintance, veteran of the World war, whom he had met and taken a liking to. CHAPTER I1.—Carter tells Aunt Lyddy he has broken with his family and his sweetheart because f his resentment of their ultra pacific tendencies. With Dabbs Ned visits Cloper Hollow, abiding place of a “collection . of goot-natured .Jeranks,” aceording to the grocer.

The ladies come higher. Crime Crime is primarily a problem of youth, of neg- feeted and untrained youth. Crime rarely exists of itself. It is a result of cumulative causes, of many small things piled one on top of the other until the structure is topheavy. Then comes crime. Few persons start out with the deliberate intention of becoming criminals. If this hypothesis is true, and many investigators Mental hygiene bureaus are being established in colleges in an effort to cut down the suicide rate.

We*must make provision to arrest, convict and punish. criminals. That much is conceded. But we must go far, far beyond that punitive stage and begin the really con- | structive work where: it will count best, with the | new generation. There is not much economic value in reforming a man 45 years old. True, the angels in Heaven may rejoice at his redemption and all that sort of thing, but the best years of his life have been wasted and the remaining years are not worth much to society. Therefore we say, spend less time in trying to reform middle-aged criminals and making their period of incarceration easy, and spend more time and effort on properly educating the younger generation so that they Will not grow up to be criminals, Pre It is merely a question“ of relative values, this fighting of the disease we call crime. A scientist, when he wages a campaign against an epidemic, oes a certain amount to relieve the suffering of those who have contracted the illness, but his main concern, his proper concern, is the development of means to immunize the thousands who have not yet comtfacted it, who may thus be spared its tortures and the extent of the disease drastically restricted. Let us vaccinate youth against crime with the right sort of education. Let ds spend much time in this-work and much energy, for the result will be well worth it. fs No Money For Lepers Itis a very peculiar thing, but it is easier by far to secure money from congress for the building of battleships than for any work of public health or the advancement of the public good. ‘ake, for in- statige, the fate of the attempt to secure funds for the. furthering of the work being done for the lepers inthe Philippines, a work in which Governor-Gen- eral;Leonard Wood is vitally interested.

Poindexter, for four years state auditor, removes a young man who had made an enviable record as a public official and a friend. He came into North Dakota public life unheralded and unknown save among his friends, but in two terms as auditor he wrote his name high as an of- ficial and penned a record of faithfulness, integ- rity and service, to political friend and enemy alike, that is outstanding. Those who knew him personally, however, prefer to speak of his qualities as a man and friend. They prefer to remember the quiet, penetrating student of life and character, the deep lover of books, the keen observer and the helpful friendly traits that were his. His name is intagliated in their hearts, and they have been deeply moved by his death. The Farmers. Look Ahead (Chicago Tribune) f The president’s veto of the McNary-Haugen sur- plus control bill ends all hope of legislation for the Many thousands of farmers, particularly in the mid- dle west, are keenly disappointed. The MeNary- Haugen bill was their bill not only in the’ gense that it was intended to improve their. economic posi- tion; it was theirs in the sense that they devised it. The farmers had seen their bill defeated in congress at a previous session, but returned .to the attack at this session, with broken courage and re- source. They converted a congressional minority into a majority, only to. see their work frustrated by the veto. The sense of frustration can do much harm to! the farmers’ cause. It can bring the leaders of the movement to abandon all hope of achieving the desired results with the tactics pursued thus far and to organize instead an independent agrarian party. History counsels against such a plan. Half a dozen such parties have been buried in the na- tion’s past. They achieved little for the farmer except further to disappoint his hopes. The farm leaders should take courage from. the success they have had already, The west ‘has at last defeated the east in toe-to-toe fighting in both houses of congress, The result was achieved hy painstaking organization and a strong sense of re- gional interest. The same methods will succeed in| future when measures for farmer relief come be-| fore congress. The east cannot stave off agricul- tural relief forever. The president himself is willing to admit the justice of the farmers’ claim to a fairer distribution of the national income. This is-certainly not the moment to seek new ave- nues of Political action.

Between four and five pounds, I suppose.
