An Annual Problem Near Again
The big problem of what to do with our children
during the summer months is just about on us again.
There are literally thousands of things to absorb their
time and attention, and what they do will reflect it
self for good or for bad in their later life. Most of
them need to learn some of the essential things in
life.
There was a time when children learned many of
the best lessons ,in life during their vacation. They
were taught to be helpful and useful around the home,
to learn just what a home is. and what it takes to
maintain ir. The art of housekeeping was learned by
the girls and much knowledge of farming, stock-rais
ing. and many other useful things were picked up by
the boys.
Now things seem to be different, and in too many
cases the time is used by boys and girls to run their
parents to death in trying to keep up with this speedy
age of world mad pleasure, and it seems that every
thing and everybody has joined in the rush for friv
olous pleasure to the exclusion of almost everything
else and in the whirl of things it is hard to even
guess what the end will bring. One thing we'do know
is that when the Very liest men in the various activi
ties of today are checked up, most of them are those
who made the best use of their vacations. Generally
those who ran wild "during their vacations are still
traveling down the same old crooked toad.
May we be able to save our children for a better
purpose than to live in idleness and waste.
Justice by Compromise
On Good Friday, a New Vork woman, Mrs. Lewis
Titterton, was brutally murdered. The police had
nothing to work on except a shred of cord left at the
scene of the crime. Magnificent work on their part,
however, built a rase upon this tiny fragment of evi
dence They found their man and he confessed.
This case throws into vivid contrast the frequently
excellent work of the police with the generally incom
petent work of prosecutors and criminal courts. 'The
defendant, Fiorenza, had a long police record. Three
years ago he was arrested for stealing an automobile,
which is grand larceny, and was |ierniitted to plead
guilty to petty larceny. The judge suspended sen
tence. Five months later he was again arrested, this
time for burglary, was again permitted to plead
guilty to lesser offense and served a term in prison.
In July, 1934; be was again arrested for stealing an
automobile and was again permitted to plead to petty
larceny.
Three times, then, this man was caught by the
police and three times the prosecution whittled away
the case. Each time it followed the tradition of lazy
and incompetent prosecutors everywhere. It saved
itself the hard work of securing a conviction for the
real offense by permitting the prisoner to plead guilty
to a lesser ofTense.
This habit of prosecutors, this "bargaining" for
pleas to a lesser offense, is the most serious problem
connected with the administration of criminal justice
in this country today.
The result is more and more leniency, more and
more dccidivism, more and more flouting of the law
by professional criminals. The leniency and incom
|ietence of prosec utors discourage pulice and destroy
their morale. Can the [tolice be expected to do their
best when they see, every day, that no matter how
diligently they work to apprehend criminals, their
work is frittered away by the prosecution??Today

Slavery, Indeed
Italy is boasting over her conquest of Ethiopia and
claiming that territory as her own. It sounds very
much like a thief who has robbed a sheepfold and
boasts/of his feat when officers call.
l ew events in all history are more dastardly than
the conquest of Ethiopia by the Italian armed forces.
They have literally run a nation of people from their
homes and stolen their possessions. At any rate, a
nation of jteople was shot up. many killed, their homes
taken and now the remainder are in the hands and
subjects of the nation which has thus treated them.
The Ethiopians do not yet know the degree of slavery
in which they are to live, but one thing they do know
and that is their freedom and rights are all gone and
they must move when a taskmaster speaks "tome"
or "go." Cruel slavery, indeed.
Fire Waste Rising
Sampson Independent.
The national lire loss, after several years in which
it showed a slow but encouraging steady decline, is
rising. The upward trend has been maintained dur
ing a number of recent months.
The blame for this can be laid to one thing: Hu
man carelessness -a term which includes a multitude
of sins.
Few of us think about fire. Few of us take the
trouble to learn the simple lessons that would enable
us to eliminate lire hazards on our property?hazards
that, in nine cases, out of ten, could be done away
with at little or no expense. Few of us realize that
the entire community must help |>ay for every lire
that occurs in higher taxes and insurance rates, in
lost business, in detsroyed opportunities for industries
and individuals, in business stagnation.
Some of the greatest lires have started from seem
ingly harmless origins. One greasy rag in the corner
of your garage could become the focal point for a
blaze that would destroy a hundred homes. So could
old, amateurishly repaired electric wiring. So could
the cigarette you threw away without looking to see
where it fell. So could the leaky flue, which you're go
ing to have repaired on some distant tomorrow that
may never come.
The overwhelming majority of fires result from
such obvious hazards as these. They cost us hun
dreds of millions of dollars a year, and cause an in
direit loss several limes as great. Infinitely more im
portant , they destroy thousands of lives. You and
your neighbors can take the steps that will make your
community safe that will lower lire loss 75 per cent.
Is it worth the small effort required?
