HILY GREETINGS TO OUR HOME LAXITIES CAUSE OF CRIMINALITIES The American home is defaulting in the control and discipline that it formerly gave children, and it is this lack of parental guidance of boys and girls that is the chief cause of the prevailing "crime wave" in America. This is the opinion expressed by Arthur P. Wills, of Los Angeles, in reply to a questionnaire from the American Bar Association. For a quarter of a century this laxity in home control and influence has persisted, says Mr. Will; "we have sown the wind, and we are reaping the whirlwind." Discussing remedies for this deplorable state of moral laxity, Mr. Will says that a complete cure "will be a slow and laborious process." He adds: "There must be brought home to our citizens an appreciation of the necessity of discipline and self-control, and of the fact that the chief business of life in not the pursuit of pleasure but the performance of duty—duty to one's self, to one's neighbor and to the State. Unless these things are impressed upon the parents, how will the children get them? The decline of home life frequently is lamented by those who studiously observe social conditions throughout the United States. There are so many pleasures—so many distractions, to draw boys and girls away from the family fireside. And there are so many fathers and mothers who themselves madly bent upon pleasure, are only too glad to have their children roam at will and not be a care as to training in the home. This condition is a deadly peril to the nation. It does breed crime and vice, and it will continue to do so, until the home becomes the center of family interest and affections." CAREER OF JOHN C. SHEDD America's corn crop promises to be enormous. This good old substantial cereal is one of the mainstays of the American farm. Its aggregate value is enormous. It adds hugely to the produced wealth of the Nation. The world is neither all good nor bad. It is well to guage estimates—to appraise conditions as they are, without going to either extreme. While the world is not all good, yet there is a vast deal of good in it—more good than evil. If it were not so the human race would perish from the earth. The United States is an enviable state of peaceful relationship with the whole world. It has no enmities—no vindictiveness to vent, no grudges to pay. It has no aggressive designs upon any country under the sun. It has only open-faced, sincere peace and good will for all nations and all peoples under the sun. Dark as are the industrial conditions in spots, there is no ground for hopeless pessimism. The clouds will roll by erelong, for the national administration is striving strenuously and earnestly to find a solution and public settlement is favorable to a peaceful, just settlement of the issues involved. Some means of adjustment must be found. The greater the industrial crisis at present, the greater the probability that some practicable means will be found to avert these crisis in future. The losses and inconveniences of the present well may be borne if from them comes some permanent, equitable plan of settling industrial disputes without batting them out to the injury of the public. Something should be done to assure jury verdicts in criminal cases. It is impossible, it seems, in many notable criminal trials to obtain an unanimous verdict. Advocacy of a three-fourths verdict by judges of California is timely and commendable. It influences of this nature were brought to bear, the reforming of the jury system soon could be effected. CAREER OF JOHN G. SHEDD IS INSPIRING Fifty years ago John G. Shedd, an awkward, bashful country boy from New Hampshire, was employed by Marshall Field of Chicago, in the stock room of his great store at $10 a week. For fifty years Mr. Shedd—well and favorably known here in Southern California where he spends his winters—has been with the great Marshall Field store. But he no longer is an obscure stock-room employee. He is president of the Marshall Field Company, and has risen to fame and fortune—from a humble position to the position of a merchant prince. Why did he rise? Because— He had ambition. He was not satisfied to be a rostabout in crossroad retail stores. He had character, and he had business talents. He went to a great metropolitan city and he went to the most famous store of that city. He was bold and persistent in his ambitions. His career demonstrates, more eloquently than words, the wonderful possibilities for self-advancement in this democratic land. There should be no preaching of anarchy or violence in this country. Whoever advocates this is an enemy of the government and people of the United States. Industrial warfare should give way to reason and friendly conciliation. There should be fair and amicable cooperation between labor and capital, with neither of them attempting to take advantage of the other, and with both of them safeguarding the rights, interest and welfare of the public.

"Keep the children out of the street" is becoming a slogan echoed by the children as well as parents. NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Without doubt, the most uncomfortable and impathy-deserving people in this whole great city these days are the our models. "Why pick out July and August to sell furs to the retailers, I don't know," one of them was lapping the other day. "The public won't begin buying until November. You'd think they could wait another month before getting stocked up. But no! They are filling Manhattan—buyers from everywhere—El Paso to Portland, Maine. And the hottest hours of the hottest days, we have to carve about the room swathed in fur to our ears, while the buyers sit and watch us with their coats off, rats aff and palm leaf fans waving. The worst of it is we are most of us a musical comedy in the winter time and we don't even dare to let ourselves get too thin." Clyde W. Carter, candidate for the democratic nomination for Congress in a Brooklyn district, has won a victory in the preliminaries which was almost as difficult, and as complicated as any conquest he may make at the polls. His landlady, Mr. Carter says, is a good Republican, and he believes that she is already working for her party. For she took away his electric bell. Now a doorbell is an essential to a candidate, next only to a pleasant smile. And Mr. Carter claimed it was that realization in mind that his callers were out off in this resourceful manner, the court upheld his plea and his door-bell is now ringing merrily once again. John R. Voorhis is not only president of our Board of Educations and one of the leading Tammany saisons but he is 93 years old. He celebrated his birthday by walking to work—and it is two or three miles from his home to the City Hall. "It all shows that a good thing public life and section contests are for a man's health and spirit," says he. I often wonder what would happen to big business executives if they were mistaken as often as are heads of our big cities. Business would go to pot, I'd say, or more likely, there would be a shifting of jobs! The ease with which city departments may reverse themselves is demonstrated in the recommendations of the Mayor's Committee, reviewing the recent subway fire. The report says that all the suffering of passengers was caused by smoke from burning insulation aggravated by the panic, and that no poisonous gases were generated by the pyrene fire extinguishers. Quite different from the condemnation of the extinguisher given out before there had been time for an investigation. The officials now try to make amends: "In the meantime our study of the results of the use of pyrene in this instance conclusively shows that its use was in no way dangerous of even discomoding. The continued efficient operation of the subways is essential in the life of the city, and this efficient operation requires the use of some immediately available fire extinguisher in case of electric short circuits, which are always possible of recurrence." They went on to explain that the Pyrene composition is the best known and most universally accepted extinguisher for this purpose and that "Nothing has been discovered to justify its discontinuance." A woman may not be as clever with a gun as a man, but she certainly is resourceful in the employment of substitutes. Mrs. Haven C.
