' MORE RADICALS COME FROM AMERICAN-BORN Than From Foreigners, Bankers’. Assn. Is Told Today Chicago, Oct. 2.—The great bulk of the radical group in this coun- try comes not from ‘the foreign born but from American born boys who have not had the proper influ- ence of community leaders, Justice James C. Cropsey of the New York supreme court told the American Bankers' assoclation eonvention to- day. He urged the bankers to give more of their time to organiza- tions training young men and boys in good citizenship, as one of their greatest responsibilities. “Boys are naturally hero-wor- shippers and ‘you should not let them find their hero in the pool room,” he said. “Present to them the community leaders as proper examples. It is a painful fact too, that religion is not able to get hold of the growing boy of today. Boys don't go to Sunday school because their fathers don’t go. y “The responsibility for an active nter in the affairs of our gov- ernment, as good citizens, {8 not so great as our responsibility for per- sonal service in the training of our future citizens. The fact that 90 per cent of our crime is committed by boys or young men ls convinc- ing proof of the situation.” A letter from Secretary Mellon in the restoration of the silver dollar to its former importance. He advocated the greater use of | stiver as a matter of economy. If the treasury could restora $30,000,- 000 silver ‘circulation in continental United States and $10,000,000 in the territories, the letter said, a wet annual saving of some $28,000 might be realized throvgh reduction of the present replacement ex- pense involved in paper circulation.

O'Connell attended the meeting of the club, held at the Polo Grounds, but Dolan was not there.
