PARADISE FOR CRIMINALS
The Atlanta Georgian declares
that America is the paradise of
criminals and crime. It says:
‘‘Crime is not wholly due to ig
norance. Since 1SS9 intelligence
has become widely diffused thru
out the Tnited States, but statis
tics show that homicides in this
country have increased 400 per
cent, notwithstanding the multi
plied facilities of knowledge.
“Education may operate to pre
vent crime within certain limits.
But so long as penalties are not en
forced and criminals are not con
victed and statutes are virtually
dead letters, so long will crime
continue to propagate itself. The
court records show that for various
reasons less than ten per cent of
the men who commit murder in
this country are punished, where
as in Germany, for example, the,
convictions will aggregate 97> per
cent.
“Hairing Kussia alone, homi
cides in the United States will out
number those of any ten civilized
nations combined.
“It is estimated that there are
fully 350,090 people in the United
States who choose and pursue
criminal careers, and are not
touched by the law.
“While the national debt is
$964,000,000, the annual cost of
crime is *1,373,000,000.”
Not only for those who favor
the right, but also for officers of
the courts whose duty is to enforce
the law, there is food for serious
thought in this strong exhibit, and
if the light of Liberty is not to be
ultimately extinguished in this
land of free institutions, it is time
for the enforcement of the law to
be demanded by an authoritative
public sentiment.
In order to live peacefully with
our neighbors and associates we
must not insist that there is only
one way of doing things—even
from marking a shoat to running
the government. We must avoid
unnecessary criticism of other peo
ple and their ways and methods,
and we must always be ready to
concede to others the same right
to their opinion and the same rights
of free speech that we demand for
ourselves.
There are two ways of being
happy—we may either diminish
our wants or augment our means j
either will do, the result is the
same: and it is for each man to de
cide for himself, and do that

you are idle, or sick, or poor,
however hard it may be to dimin

to augment your means. If you
are active or prosperous or young

for you to augment your means

A Wedding Eve
Quarrel
By R. S. PHILLIPS
“If you do go”—Anne pouted, and
Anne's style of pout was almost as de
liciously distracting as her smile—
“you can just consider everything,
everything"—emphatically, and the
stamp of a small foot added weight to
the assertion—"at an end between
us! ”
“But, honey, don't be unreasonable.
It’s become almost a time-honored cus
tom.”
“Bachelor dinners on the eve of your
wedding may be the custom, but if you
really loved me as you say you do.
you would spend our last unmarried
evening with me—with me only.”
There was a suspicion of tears in
Anne's clear eyes.
"Anne! It's quite time this nonsense
stopped.” Having tried cajolery, har
assed Robert Warren vainly supposed
that a bit of sternness in his attitude
might prove an antidote to his capri
cious love's unreason.
The pretty nose assumed a greater
altitude, and a little slipper began to
beat a devil's tattoo upon the soft rug.
After deep contemplation. Anne said j
but two words—"Oh! Indeed!”
Often had just these two words re
duced that stalwart man to abject sub
mission. Now, however, the abject j
element was altogether lacking.
very well! springing to her feet j
and drawing her five feet nothing to j
the fullest height, which allowed a
little more than normal measurement
on account of Louis XIV. heels. "Go
to your bachelor dinner, and tell your
precious ushers that it heralds your re
entrance into single blessedness! I’m
glad! Glad! Glad! Robert Warren,"
tempestuously, "that I've found you
out before to-morrow!"
And, with a tragic gesture that
Duse would not have scorned, Anne
swept her chiffons out of the room.
The tragic pose changed quickly, how
ever, to something rather pathetically
human, and Anne subsided in a miser
able heap among the cushions of the
wide window seat.
Warren, left alone, mused wrathfully
upon the inconstancy of woman in
general and one in particular. He ar
gued bitterly to himself that he had
never dreamed his hitherto "darling
Anne” could be so vixenish. Such a
ridiculous matter to create a teapot
tempest—as if all eligible bachelors
didn't give their particular chums a
dinner . hatice to wish them godspeed
upon the troubled sea of matrimony.
“I didn’t kick a bit about her brides
maids' luncheon." he muttered, resent
fully, kicking spitefully at a fat has
sock, "and I’m sure I wanted to see
her this afternoon, too!"
Then he stopped and tried to ima
gine a life with Anne left out of it—
dainty', dimpling Anne, who was sun
shine most always, with just enough
prettily cloudy weather for effective
contrast. Yes, life without Anne was
utterly out of the question. He won
dered miserably if she would "make
up.” Well, poor unfortunate man
could only fail in such a venture. He
hastened into the hall in search of an
obliging maid, to whom to intrust his
mission There he encountered the
miserable, sobbing heap on the wide :
window seat.
“I won’t do it, Anne!”—gathering
the fascinating bunch of misery into
his strong arms.
"Really, really, Rob!”
"Really, Anne!"
"Then you can—and must. 1 only
wanted to t>e sure, dearest, that you
would give it up for my sake "
Which last sentence only made Bob
Warren ponder all the more deeply
upon the inconstancy of woman in
general and one in particular. How
ever, he didn't argue the matter, but
kissed Anne instead.
