What could be lnore appropriat

the nomination.
They are selling booze in walking

The rumor is not confirmed by
private Secretary Loeb that Presi
dent Roosevelt was “de lighthd” on
learning of the remission of the

The Roosevelt deficit for last

deficit for the same period last
year and year before, and this is
aLo the last year of Mr. Roosevelt’s

The Problem
of International
Doty Regarding
Criminals.
By Dr. SAMUEL J. BARROWS of the Prison Reform Association.
1)0 not believe that it is a part of the policy of any
% m - % foreign government to send its criminals over here.
t If % The whole question of INTERNA 1 TONAL DUTY
$ If IN REGARD TO CRIMINALS is perhaps not
* * $ wholly established. For instance, the question of ex
tradition is not entirely settled yet. If we adopt the
principle of extradition of citizens and return them to the countiy
where the crime was committed, we might also push still further the
idea that we can send back all those who commit crime here. Ther
tendency is, however, to try to punish the offender iii the country
where he commits the offense.
* *
I DO NOT WANT THE LAW TO DE MADE THE EXCUSE FOR
DRASTIC MEASURES TOWARD MEN WHO HAVE REALLY
REFORMED. WE HAVE A LOT OF PRISONERS WHO HAVE BEEN
PUT ON PROBATION AND ARE OUT ON PAROLE AND ARE PRAC
TICALLY REFORMED MEN. ABOUT 75 PER CENT OF THEM DO
WELL, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAW THE ALIEN LINE
AMONG THEM, BECAUSE THE ALIENS DO JUST AS WELL AS THE
OTHERS.
The whole question of INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILI YY
in regard to crime is an important one, and we must be careful. Of
course the rush of immigration is this way just now, and we are the
chief sufferers. If the only method of treating criminals is to be by
punishment I doubt if a law compelling instant deportation would he
effective in checking the commission of crime, although it would get
Hd of the criminal. It would be known that deportation would be the
only punishment, and I think WE HAY E GOT 10 GO Y Uit-
TIIER and make it knowii to other nations that these men have com
mitted an offense, have been found guilty and that some measures
ought to be adopted to protect other nations and communities.
POSSIBLY WE COULD GET THE COURTS OF OTHER COUN
TRIES TO ACCEPT THE RECORDS OF TRIAL IN THIS COUNTRY
AND ASSUME THE PUNISHMENT OR REFORMATION OF TH£
CRIMINAL AFTER HE HAD BEEN SENT BACK.
America the Victim of
Commercial Despotism;
/ By FREDERICK VAN EEDEN. Dutch Poet and Economist.
ESRvESS and morals are separated by an abyss today, and
there is no reason why this chasm should not be bridged.
4 Judging by the national characteristics, I. should say
America would be disposed to adopt a system of faif busi
ness. The Americans are willing to listen. They DO AO I SCO I* I 1
AT NOVELTY like the people of the old countries. Americans
have the enthusiasm and the spirit of progress, which have not van
ished or eveii diminished DESPITE FINANCIAL I Y RAN NY.
AMERICA 13 MORE THE VICTIM CF COMMERCIAL DESPOTISM
TODAY THAN ANY OTHER CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PEOPLE OR THE LAWS, BUT
THE FACT THAT BY SOME PROCESS OF EVOLUTION THE MONEY
KINGS HAVE GAINED A DEGREE CF POWER NEVER EQUALED
IN THE INDUSTRIAL HISTORY OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
Public opinion, a great regulating influence, has beeii slow in stem
ming the tyranny of the financial magnates. However, that $29,000,-
000 fine for the Standard Oil company was a fair example that in the
end public opinion is supreme.
I don’t believe the evib of concentrated wealth will ever be reme
died by legislation. T believe the salvation will come from striking at
the very foundation of the trouble, and that is the ECONOMICAL
INJUSTICE OF PRESENT DAY SYSTEMS.
THERE 13 MO REASON WHY SPECULATING AND SHAREHOLD
ING SHOULD EXIST. SHARES IN A PROFITABLE ENTERPRISE
SHOULD BE HELD ONLY BY THOSE WHO WORK AND GAIN THE
PROFITS. CERTAINLY THESE GAINS ARE NOT LOGICALLY THE
POSSESSIONS CF IDLE CHILDREN CF LUCK, WHO THROUGH IN
HERITED WEALTH OR FORTUNATE SPECULATION SIT BACK AND
THRIVE ON The laeors of others.
Would Women Vote
If They 1 Could ?
By WOODROW WILSON, President of Princeton University
]TE power of voting does not bring ANY MA I TRIAL AD*
P VANTAGE to women, as has been proved by experience in
those states where women have had the 1 ranch i§c granted.
What has already happened would happen again.
It has been found that women do not make any great use of their
ballot privilege; indeed, it has already become NLAEI A A DEAD
LETTER. lam afraid that were the power given them everywhere
it would NOT PROVE AN TIN MINE!) BLESSING to the rest
of the \yorld. Women think more of goodness as a quality than of

Less Respect For
Religion In America ?
By CARDINAL GIBBONS.
CITE people of America are showing LESS RES PEC L TOR
RELIGION than fifty or sixty years ago. FoT instance, the
statesmen of America of those days siiowed in their public
-i- . , 4
addresses a familiarity with and regard for the Iloly Scrip
tures and the word of God which I am soVry does not present itself
today. : . }
Webster used frequently to dovetail into his public speeches quota

O V COD. This practice is neglected‘by the speakers ‘cf idday.
