Shall we say that the wall of re straint that surrounds us ail through life causes many to do wrong? Shall we say that the natural flow of good spirit and exuberance of youth caused the! young man to commit thoughtless deeds and that by so doing he got the police down on him? That the watching of the police, the treat- ing him as a criminal actually made him one? No, f think we must not lay it to any of those things. If crime can be excused by saying our social system ts wrong, where will we land? How much law or order would we have? And the watching of the police did not do it.
