GOING BACKWAIUIS?
Thoughtful people must be struck and saddened by
the current news dealing with crime. For a time the com
pelling fact was more increase in the number of criminal
nets. Later events are tending' lo show that the character
of the deeds of violence is changing' in a manner that can

the changes he notes a cold-blooded indifference to old
standards of the value of human life, he may set that

by the difference we may look for other changes that may
