MANUFACTURING A “CRIMINAL” N EUROPE, during the dark ages, pigs, cows, dogs and field mice, that injured human beings, were punished. They were solemnly tried by a judge and sentenced to be hanged or burned. Such actions we ridicule and call barbaric. We of the 20th century are much more civilized, more intelligent, more humane—WE do not punish animals. But note, please, a certain boy with a criminal record. He was 16 years old, cheerful, happy, willing, energetic—praise made him smile like a baby. Lacking education, he knew only one way to earn bread and a bed—and that was by “hustling grips” at a railroad station. A large transfer company also “‘hustles grips” at the station—and the policeman there is on the job—for the large transfer company. He arrested the lad, told him he needed a license (which he did not) and booked him under a loitering charge. The boy got 30 days. He left the house of correction with a nickel for carfare, came downtown, “hustled grips” for 10 minutes—and the clever policeman caught him = STAR—WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1915. PAGE 4. again. In the past two years his record shows 18 ar- rests for the same offense—the last time he landed in a cell with a degenerate. D THE BOY WHO USED TO SMILE LIKE A BABY is now in a ward for the insane at the Illinois State Institution at Elgin. Here is a boy who wanted to work—EVEN AFTER TWO YEARS OF ABUSE HE WANTED TO WORK—and society by neglect and cruelty made him a lunatic. We call those people who punished pigs ‘“‘bar- baric’—WHAT MIGHT WE CALL OUR- SELVES? AN AMATEUR grammarian in the New York World shows up an awful grammatical bull on President Wilson in his message to congress, which will make the presi- dent more popular with a lot of folks than anything he has ever done. IT LOOKS like Henry Ford's ark of peace may turn out a ship without a country. Nobody seems to especially want it and it may be compelled to sail the seas forever- more, a regular Flying Dutchman. And with profanity aboard at that. Simply awful! IF DIOGENES were alive today, he'd have a hard time even with a flash light. TOM, DID IBVER TELL You HOw A WORTH WHILE THOUGHT USTIN E. GRIFFITHS has struck a note that is worthy of some thought. “We have had too much turmoil over petty things,”’ said Griffiths. “Now is the time for con- structive work, for peace in city affairs, for real progress and development.” Griffiths has been an active factor in civic affairs in Seattle. As councilman and as chief of police, as well as a private citizen, he has stamped himself an earnest wisher of the public welfare. Now he is a candidate for mayor. There is food for much reflection when he says that there is no “high-and-low tax” issue at stake in the coming election. Equally, there is a good deal of thought due.to his statement that “municipal ownership” is no real issue. To Griffiths’ mind, the city’s chief need is peace. This thought is well worth considering. ‘TIS SAID congress will increase the income tax. This is more,than acceptable if they will also increase the incomes. THE TIME a fellow most appreciates the value of money is after it’s gone. | A Married Man’s Troubles “THEY MAKe “em CLOSE THEIR. EYES TIGHT AND HOLD THEIR. HANDS OVER “THEIR HEADS WHILE THEY. SLOWLY WHY EGAN WAS ACQUITTED ATROLMAN J. T, EGAN was drunk, it was charged. He drove a machine after a night's revel, and killed a man by accident. He was tried for manslaughter. The jury acquitted him. Judge Mackintosh roundly roasted the jury—deservedly SO, Yet neither jury nor Egan should be too se- verely condemned. People learn by example, just as children do. If parents are bad, the chances are the children will grow up vicious, too. If Patrolman Egan lacked the right sort of example from his superiors and got drunk because the men to whom he had a right to look up to also went on sprees and reveled in barrooms and cafes, he is to be pitted almost as much as censured. If high officials in the city are exonerated when they step out of the path of decent conduct, then why blame too severely an ordinary jury which exonerates an ordinary patrolman? KITCHENER SAYS that Russia will put six million new troops in the field next spring. But they'll all be too late for Kitchener's “drive” of last spring. Two HunpRep!
