We frequently read of individuals and corporations being

been.' a previous menace to society and to have received his
4"'-eef)om because of the criminal negligence of that society.
'. -The render affair in Portland is a case-in point. On'y
j ood fortune prevented the recording of another hideous
crime there because we, the public, had been lax and neglect
ful, over-sentimental in dealing with a crinu'nal case. If tlio
young forger and thy murderer of Marian Parker in Los;
Angeles are proved to be the same, it indicates again how!

upon 'a minor crime as an indication of character weakness
