Arm, Citizens!
NOW General John J. Pershing is a man of the calibre that
belongs in the president’s chair. In an article written for
publication in the American Magazine, Pershing presents an
outline for his campaign against crime. The nation faces a
crisis today from its criminal army "more insidious, but not less
dangerous than in the World war,” the general writes.
To stamp out the danger, Pershing has asked for the repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment, the organization of local vigi
lantes, and the adoption of the European system of police identi
fication cards for every resident of the country. He has visioned
a battlefield and is preparing his army.
Here must bo real presidential timber. Here is a man who
should gain the immediate support of the American Legion, the
Daughters of the American Revolution, the Navy League, ami
every other patriotic organization in the country. For here is
a real war to be entered into with gusto and enthusiasm,
Mobilization may begin on every front. It is a fight to the
death!
But let us think again before we jump. To one's mind come
thoughts of the gallant effort made by another great army leader
in a war against crime. A certain general by the name of
Butler discovered to his amazement that a crime war was some
what different from the kind to which he was accustomed. As
a result he was forced to leave his battlefield in Philadelphia
in inglorious defeat.
That Pershing is right in his conclusion that the criminal
army is "more insidious, but not less dangerous” than any en
countered in the World war must be admitted. But that crime
can be put down by military measures is as far fetched as the
statement that “we won the war.” His proposals may bring
joy to the chauvinistic heart with its desire for bloody action.
But will they bring fear to the heart of the criminal?
To The Gallows
TN the wave of national hysteria which followed the ghastly
solution of the Lindbergh tragedy, "heart-wracked” senators
renewed their earlier pledges to push through legislation provid
ing the death penalty for kidnaping.
Men high in the government, who were tactless enough to
issue the old “sincere regrets" line to the newspapers, all vowed
that it should not happen again. “Death for kidnaping" is good
ballyhoo, but is It good business?
l’lace yourself in the position of a kidnaper. Death has be
come the penalty for your crime. You have abducted the child
of a wealthy man and are holding him for ransom. The police
are drawing their net closer and closer. You know that if you
are caught with the child alive you will most certainly hang,
but that if you murder the child and secret the body, your
chances of escaping the gallows are about eight to one. What
would you, cornered and driven by the instinct of self-preserva
tion, do in that case?
With the imposition of the death penalty, the ratio of mur
ders to the number of kidnapings would inevitably rise. But,
says the proponent of the new law, the fear of capital punish
ment would deter many would-be kidnapers. The simplest an
swer to this claim is to ask if the death penalty for murder has
been effective. In view of our steadily rising homicide rate, it
would seem not.
Granting, however, that there might be fewer kidnapings if
death were the penalty, which is better: ten kidnapings a year
with pci haps one resulting murder, or five kidnapings with three
murders?
A federal statute making death the price of abduction might
be a boomerang which would defeat its own purpose.

Aviatrix Amelia
Takes Off on Long
Trans - Ocean Hop
Smiling Flyer After Record
As First Woman To
Span Atlantic
HARBOR GRACE, N. F., May
20.— (AP)—Amelia Earhart Put
nam, smiling and confident, took
off from Harbor Grace tonight in
her crimson, gold striped plane,
with Paris her destination.
Five years to the day after Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh sped
out from New York on the first
flight to Europe, Mrs. Putnam took
off at 4:51 p. m. (eastern standard
time) determined to be the first
woman to fly over the Atlantic
alone. Like Lindbergh, she chose
Paris for her goal.
“To all my friends, far and near,
you will hear from me in 15 hours,”
she said as she stepped into the
plane. “I have sufficient fuel for
20 hours and I will go further if
my gas holds out and I find I am
not too fatigued.”
Her decision to start today came
suddenly, influenced by favorable
weather reports. Arriving here
from St. Johns, N. B., at 11:31 a.
m., (eastern standard time) she
previously had retired, announcing
she hoped to leave early tomor
row.
Reymers Opens
Siege Guns Upon
Hughes Trenches
A swiftly speeding limousine
swung around the College Side
corner and narrowly missed crash
ing into a heavily-laden freight
truck. It was a close shave, and
Mahr V. (vote for) Reymers was
right there. In fact he's always
right there when it comes to
shaves. That’s why he’s running
for senior class barber. Well, that’s
what he says.
“I shaved eight men and a Phi
Delt this morning,” he bragged
when caught in his boudoir, care
fully sharpening a razor blade.
“This work is taxing me, but I
must remember my public. I’d
rather be tight than be president.”
On the other side of the fence,
backers of Bernie (ladies-neck-clip
ping-a-specialty) Hughes were
preparing to enter the battle in
earnest.
It is rumored that the winner in
the barbarous race will get to shave
the, loser. (Safety razors and the
Marquis of Queensbury rules will
be used.)
Socialists Would
Avoid Wet Issue
MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 20.—
(AP)—1The Socialist party, on the
eve of its national convention here,
hopes it will not be necessary to
talk about prohibition.
The issue may bob up when 300
delegates from 43 states begin
making platform suggestions, but
party chiefs are trying to avert
any definite pronouncement.
“It’s easier to get interested in
beer than in sound social legisla
tion," said Clarence Senior of Chi
cago, national secretary. "The
prohibition question is being
dragged into the American pic
ture by the old parties at this time
to befog the real issues. Old par
ties are planning to make so much
noise about prohibition that the
voices clamoring for social justice
will be drowned out.”
liOOVEK CALLS ON BANK.EUN
WASHINGTON, May 20.—(AP)

Oratorio Libretto
History Reveals
Basis in Epic Poem
The libretto, or words, for
Haydn’s great oratorio, “The Cre
ation,” were in large part drawn
from Milton’s "Paradise Lost,” be
ing first translated into German,
and then rendered back into Eng
lish after the oratorio had won
popularity in England. This is
one of the interesting facts dis
closed by a little research into the
history of this famous, oratorio,
undertaken in connection with its
presentation by the polyphonic
choir at the music auditorium next
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The music for the Oratorio was
composed by Haydn between 1796
and 1798, being set to a text
drawn from Milton and from the
Book of Genesis. The story con
cerns the creation of the world,
the existence of Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden, and their fall
from grace through the eating of
the forbidden fruit.
Curtis Carefully
Guarded Against
Suicide Attempt
FLEMINGTON, N. J., May 20.—
(AP)—Warden George Anderson
of the Hunterdon county jail said
today he is taking extra precau
tions to see that John Hughes Cur
tis may have no opportunity to
try to commit suicide.
' Curtis’ food is served in tin
bowls and cups with rolled edges.
He is given only a spoon—no knife
or fork.
“The prisoner is quiet and does
n’t seem to be much worried about
his fate,” the warden said, “but
because of the reports that he once
tried to commit suicide, we don’t
intend to give him that opportun
ity right now.”
Curtis told the warden today
he would be very much surprised
if any lawyer arrived to take
charge of his defense.
“I haven’t sent for any,” he said.

LITERARY SIGNPOST
ROMANCE IN MAINE
Captain Archer’s Daughter. By
Margaret Deland. Harpers &
Brothers.
Margaret Deland, author of the
delightful Old Chester stories, has
written two stories here. The first
concerns the prim Miss Archer,
who up to the age of 30 had never
been out with a man, suddenly
eloped with a gay and fascinating
young sea captain to the warm is
lands of the Barbardos. Their ro
mance lasted less than a year, for
the knowledge that Mattie Archer
is about to become a mother scares
her husband away to other lands
and new women. Mattie remains a
decade on the island, ever hoping
that the captain will return, but
at news of his death she returns
to her home in Bowport, Maine,
and to her waiting father, the
kindly Captain Archer.
From here until the end of the
book, Mattie is almost forgotten
for her mind has been broken by
the loss, and her son, Cap, becomes
the central interest. At the age of
20 Cap’s romantic interests are di
vided between two girls, Jane,
“summer residents,” and Bess, an
church at 7:30. Rev. Mr. Childers
will address the graduates on "Gi
ants of the Twentieth Century.”
The lesson topic for the Loyal
Berean class for their 9:45 meet
ing is “The Fall of Judea.” Mrs.
R. M. Day is the class teacher.
• * •+
Methodist
“Consider the Lilies” is the ser
mon subject for the morning ser
vices. Rev. Mr. Ristow will preach.
John L7 Casteel will continue
his series of talks on “Pathways to
God” with a discussion of “Sci
ence” before the University class
which meets at 9:45.
* * *
Presbyterian
Rev. Mr. Adams will preach on
“The Second Touch” at the 11
o’clock services of the Central
Presbyterian church. It is the oc
casion of the University high school
baccalaureate services.
The freshman and upper class
groups will assemble together un
der the leadership of Rev. Mr.
daughter of one of the wealthy
Irish lass whose father is a fish
erman. How he finally decides be
tween them forms the second half
of the book.
Miss Deland has fine narrative
skill. Her action moves swiftly
and dramatically, and her charac
ters seem to live in reality before
us. Few better figures will be
drawn in this year’s literature than
those of Captain Archer, Joe Ca
sey, and his wife. One notes, how
ever, that there is too little devel
opment in their characterization.
Like Galsworthy, the author is apt
to mark each member of her cast
with a few mannerisms at the be
ginning, and leave them static for
the rest of the novel. As for set
ting, there is little doubt that the
writer knows her Maine fishing
towns to perfection. —R. S.
