Dean Roscoc . Pound, of the
Harvard mw School, says:
'("lime is no longer n local af
fair." Crime organization, an
cording! to the dean, spreads
over many states.
The main business of govern
ment formerly was to provide
against foreign attack. Now
I he dangerous enemy is the
criminal at home.
If it he true that gross re
ceipts of criminals in Chicago
alone amount to more than
$:lflO,l)00,000 a year, the I'nited
Stales treasury certa'nly has a
rival.
A'liile the government and
tariff makers are "relieving the
farmer," commission men in
New York last week were re
fusing many carloads of vege
tables, because they were not
worth the cost, of the freight.
Farmers of Virginia, Florida,
California, North and South
Carolina were the chief suffer
ers. You can buy in one Southern
state excellent land for $) an
acre that formerly sold for
$125 an acre. One young New
Yorker recently bought a few
thousand acres of it for quail
shooting.
Another is accumulating 200,-
licies of that lnjid,' thinking " it'
must "come back some tune.
At Lawrencevillc school grad
uation exercises, Senator Val
rott of Conneticut, a Lawrence
lille graduate, told the boys
"the only way to snvc our conn
try as the leading nation of the
world is by educating leaders
to steer the ship of state."
Abraham Lincoln was an ex
ception to that rule.
The senator said also "Learn
ing gives a man in tine year
what would otherwise take -0
years to acquiiv."
Again, you reflect that
Shakespeare, within 20 years
of the average college graduat-
yipi age, did some things that

It is dangerous to give boys
too high an idea of their educa
