THE AMERICAN'S CREED
“I believe in the United States of America and the prin-
ciples of Freedom Justice Equality and Humanity upon
which it was founded and for which our American Patripts
have given their lives and fortunes I believe it is my duty
towards my Country to love and support its C-nstitution
to obey and defend its laws and to defend it all
enemies”
COST OF CRIME
Many good people are being
deeply moved over the showing
of court records and other equal
ly trustworthy sources of Infor-
mation concerning the criminal
tendency of American youth and
the cast of crime to this nation
Our youth do not seem to im-
prove with their educational pro-
gress and many are the reasons
offered and the remedies pre-
scribed for these delinquencies
Children are most certainly re-
ceiving more education now than
at any former period
Are thev getting the right
kind of education the right kind
of training? This is the big in-
terrogatory that is now being
put to the public What kind of
fathers mothers and teachers
or every day associates have
these delinquents
Inherited tendencies and the
home life and environment of
the boy and girl are conceded
to te the primary factors in
shaping the future citizen’s char-
icier and nstfuness The
echool and church with Sunday
school’s weekly lesauu auJ train-
hg combine to make a good
second to the home
Aside from the menace to
civilization presented by this
common default in the future
citizens and rulers of our con-
try as reviewed by thoughtful
people the annual cost of crime
is appalling Ten billion dollars
$10 0000 JO 000 a year is the
total in America
Three billion five hundred
million of this total is direct
property loss and six billion live
hundred million is to be charged
to the expense of the police the
courts prisons and asylums
These figures are cased on
goed authority and should chal-l-nge
the thoughtful consider-
ation of every manj and woman
in the land first to inspire (hem
to obey the law themselves and
second as iawabicUng citizens to
join with others in the supreme
effort to enforce all laws
Next week the Eagle w ill carry
a good article on this subject
In th:s connection you are asked
