With these three short sentences,
Dr. 8. H. Jamieson, professor In the
department of applied social science
at the university, summed up his talk
before the Brotherhood of the Method
ist church at their monthly meeting
Monday evening on "Good Cltlxensblp
and the Criminal "
It haa been frequently stated that
we are either made or broken by our
associates, stated the speaker, but. he
also stated, there Is more truth In
the statement that the actions snd
deeds of the present generation will
do more to make or break the coming
generation than any one factor.
Crim e Costs Inadequate
The coat of crime In the United
Htates as revealed by the Insurance
company statistics Is two and one
half billions of dollars each year and
760 millions of this Is used In main
taining law and order. These figures
on the cost of crime are very in
adequate, stated the speaker, because
the only crimes which we have record
of are those which have been com
mitted and the offender apprehended
There Is a largt, percentage of the
crimes committed In this respect de
clared the speaker. They seldom will
report a crime which Involves a

The scientists are coming to the
opinion more and more that criminals
are made and not born, he declared
The question Is who or what makes
the criminal?
Two Factors In All Crime
There Is no set formulae for the
Into this declared Dr. Jamieson, they
are the seen and unseen forces Cit
ing as a concrete example the speaker
told of a certain young man who had
been arrested on a charge of drunk
enness. The public sees that the
person has violated a law and has
disgraced himself. These are visible
factors, he declared, but there are a
large number of other factor« which
are not so eadlly noticeable such as
the expanding desires of the people,
the rising living standards and the
Inability of the average person to
reach this standard, the conflict be
tween the adult and the youth, the
lark of understanding, family disor

"Cottage Grove, Or».. O ct I t . — (To
the Editor)—Since Mr. Julius Maier
announced his Independent candidacy
for governor we have heard from
him and his supporters In regard to
the "Joseph platform,” but When Mr.
Meier was an active candidate for
the nomination by the republican state
committee, he was not talking the
Joseph or any other platform; he
wanted the nomination by the com
mittee on any platform.
"Several days before the committee
met I received a letter from Mr. Meier
asking me to call on him when I came
to Portland. The day before the com
mittee met 1 called on him at the
Meier & Frank store. He waa anxious
for my support on the committee, and
I told him I was not committed to
any candidate, and would give his
name consideration with those of the
other candidates. He then asked me
to meet him the following day at his
campaign headquarters In the Benson
hotel.
"I called on him again, and at that
conference no mention was made of
the Joseph or other platform, hut Mr.
Meier volunteered the statement that
he would abide by the decision of the
committee, and that tf he waa not the
choice of the committee he would
abide by their action and would not
be an Independent candidate or lend
support to an Independent candidate.
“I have been told that he made this
same statement to other members of
the state committee. How well he has
kept that promise Is well knovm.
