THE SOLUTION OF CRIME?
Whet Is the solution of crime? What
la the means by which our civilization
may train its members to refrain from
disobedience to fundamental and ele
mental laws? We would all like to
have that solution, and we have oil
been more or less avidly seeking It.
It has not yet been put into practice,
although we believe that It bus been
found, and found many hundred years
ago.

We can not quite say that we feel
no sympathy for tho parent, whose
child consistently and constantly goes
wrong. It may be, In isolated cases,
the child's fault, against the wish and
will ot the parent. Yet there are so
many, who do not seem to care about
tho environment thrown around their
children, and permit them to mix and
mingle promiscuously In this fast mov
ing age, that we feel nothing but pity
for them, and warm, loving sympathy
for their misguided children.
A parent’s responsibility Is grave,
one of the gravest things that we faco

OVER DOING A THING
Over organization is a very persist
ent result of many enterprises in
which efforts are made to organize
for a distinct purpose and with a
stated goal. Over organization la as
much a menace as under organization
Is. perhaps more so, because It creates
the possibility for more abuse than
could be found In the opposite condi
tion.
When wo have an organization thoro
Is a tendency to use the force ot tho
entire cohesive body for aom» definite
purpose. If tbat purpose Is clean and
feasible It works moro to the justice
;ind Improvement of those In that or
ganization. If, on the other hand, the
organization supports something that
Is not proper and right. It may amass
practically the same strongth and
create a dangerous situation.
Powor is what wo all crave, and
most of us arc liable to abuse It when
wo have It. That Is the tenor of ull
organization and It Is likely to cause
more ill effects than good. The people
of this country keep their freedom of
action by refusing to become organiz
ed. The classes of tho people organ
ize and then over do the thing. On
the one hand we have free and Inde
pendent action, and on the other a
cohesive power that Is led and direct
ed by selfish and partial forces. Good
can never come of such an organlza.

be offered for this lapse of honesty
was the fact that he had a grudge
that he wanted to exercise. Of course
he was fired with a whole lot of ex
pressions of horror and resentment at
such conduct on the part of his team
owners and directors. He was In the
wrong and !>•« conduct was wholly
reprehensible.
Yet from the Bame source we see
only a short time afterward, where the
same team that fired him was boost
ing its hold on the pennant by pur
chasing players from another club In
the same league, for the purpose of
stiengthenlng up before the season
closed, and assuring a successful con
clusion. One team was helped mate
rially and the other was practically
eliminated from the race.
This latter condition Is not In the
same same category as the former, but
It is equally unfair, if the truth were
known. Is It more honorable for one
player to sell out Ilian It 1b for a team
to buy a pennant? The question If far
fetched In a way; the law comes In

tho principle Is the samo. Every man

RUSSIA'8 CROWN JEWELS
The Soviet government Is perfectly
willing to talk terms with any nation
that deslroa Its business. Up to this
time there Is no preasnro that could be
exerted sufficient to guarantee pay
ment of debts contracted In the future,
much less those that have been con
tracted In the past and for which the
Soviet government now enters a flat
disclaimer.
Germany has made arrangements
predicated on a supervision of affairs
and with some show that Is guaran
teed, In view of the necessity that
arisos for German materials and the
ability of the German government to
keep tab on affairs. The other nations
of the world aro quite as anxious to
get In. but they have failed so far to
find the means. This Is due to a lack
of credit that can be stabilized by the
present government and the failure of
the Soviet to make any Internal prog
ress that would justify any future
progress.
The newspapers have recently car
ried pictures ot the gems of various
kinds owned by the former royal fami
ly and which are now said to be In
the hands of the Bolsheviks, secreted
In a place known only to the faithful
few. These gems were spread on
long table and wero Inspected care
fully and their Interests worth calcu
lated by a French gem export The
unbelievable sum of sixty billion dol
lars was Involved In these treasures
alone.
Russia has now a chance lo guaran
tee Its credit by the sale of thess gems
or by putting them up as security for
a loan. With sixty billions of dollars
even Russia could make fairly good
headway In industrial growth, even
though It has been hamipered through
Soviet methods Into a pulpless mass
of Inactivity. Sixty billions of dollars
Is a lot of money and it will create a
lot of credit It properly used. The
Soviets have little regard tor the gems
Except for the money they will bring.
Why not sell them, If the world has a
market willing to make the purchases?
ANNUAL REUNION OF THE
FUCKER FAMILY
By REV. D. H. PARKER.
Two miles West of tho town of
Meigs there Is an old but well pre

farm referred to. The father of John

LOOKS LIKE A DOG-FALL.
So far as an outsider can see, the
compromise settlement of the railway
shopmen's strike leaves both parties
bout where they were when the strike
began. If either Bldo gained any do
elded advantage, It Is not apparent.
But the people lose. They lost in
service, and they lose again In paying
the expenses of the strlko while It wan
on, ns In the caso of tho coal strike.
Meanwhile, tho day when wo may ex
pect a return to normal conditions In
the way of reasonable freight and
passenger rates appears as far off au
t was before the strike began. Busi
ness must stagger long under the
handicap as best It may, while In agri
culture, farmers must still confine
their crops to such products as can be
marketed near at home, or whose bulk

charges so high tbat they are without
