that’s just thu kind of candidate we

No Facts on Hand!
A Refreshing Contrast.
A dispatch from Naylor, Ga., under
dat'4 of Friday, March 23rd, read as
follows:
“With his own private funds, J. P.
Carter, president, today began pay
ing in full all depositors in thet de
funct Farmers’ Bank of Naylor, be
cause he said he felt a ‘personal
moral responsibility’ to his former
patrons.
“Although he was not legally liable
because of tha failure, the president
several days ago also ledeemed all
outstanding shares of the capital
stock of the institution so that the
rhareholders would suffer no loss. a
“His ‘golden rule’ venture was said
to have cost him approximately $40,-
000, four-fifths of which—goea..to his
depositors.”
What a refreshing contrast to what
usually happen,s wh«n a hank fails and
those entrusted with its aflfaiis “rush
to cover!” So “remarkable” was Mr.
Carter’s action in sending a check to
the State hanking department to cover
the accounts of the depositors, that
his check was re tunnel and he was ap-
pointed special ageri to pay them in
person. While we have serious doubts
that the millenium is at hand, here’s
hoping that what this man has done
is the inaug”rV J on of a new era in
bankr,? and business life that too of
ten is flavored with “man’s inhumani-
\S to man.”
Not a Local Issue.
The impoverished victims of the

only ones that are concerned with the
matter of reconstruction.

The proposal that the seven States

tconsfciued by many as unfair. The
work would benefit the entire United

More than thirty of the States pour
thetir waters into the Mississippi, and
the waters from these States pouring
down through the Mississippi Valley
caused the floods and the damage.
Certainly it seems logical that the
States who send their waters into the
The cunent belief is that crime
conditions are known to authorities,
and that careful statistics are availa-
, /C
ble. The National Crime Commission,
however, through Louis Me. H. Howe,
assistant to thn .chairman, has let ft
l)o known that there is no way of tell
ing how much crime there is in the
country a nd how this crime is divided
among the various States and com
munities.
The Commission, therefore, is spon
soring a hill, to he introduced in the
various legislatures, asking that " all
crimes he promptly reported by local
policei officers.
It is a queer fact, and few are cog-
niza rt of it, that most of the crimes
committed in the United States' are
not reported or recorded.
All estimates on crime conditions
are mere guess-work, reliable agencies
unite in declaiing. Statistics are al
together inadequate. *
There has beer, talk of a crime wave
for three y«ars. When the National
Crime Commission was formed, it
determined to find out if there really
was a “crime wave.” A reliable
^ .. ^ r, r-r-: v - - -
statistical buieau was engaged to col
lect the figures on crime, and reported
that thore was no general collection of
figures.
The statistics had never beer, gath
ered together ny localities.
The statistical bureau said it would
cost about one million dollars, and
take about six months, to collect data
that would probably be incoirect at
that!
Thus it was demonstrated that im
aginary figures on this matter ara
just as good as printed ones.
If crime is greater in the cities than
in the smaller centers, then the herd
ing together of large populations is a
cause of crime; if crimes are just as
prevahjflt in the country as m the city,
then there must be another prime
cause; nobody knows.
Ai^d until facts about crime become
known facts, no sane, responsible study
of crime conditions, with a view nf
reducing criminality, can be made.
Therefore it seems the act compellir*?
all lo;ial police officers to report dvery
crime that comes within their ken
might prove very helpful a nd salutary
if it becomes a law.

Mystery Blasts Being
Studied by Scientists
White I’Imhis, N. Y.—Residents of
northern Westchester county are
searching to' find a solution to the
mysterious blast which rocked build
ings and spread terror over several
miles of the countryside. The heavy,
dull roar and the quiver of the earth
kept the county police busy answering
telephone calls for hours.
Similar blasts have occurred at In
tervals of exactly six months within
the last two years?. They always come
at night. The ground was shaken
and the noise of the explosion was
heard, but on each occasion it was
l •
unaccompanied by any flare or light'
such as would have been the case had
the explosion been due to powder or
gasoline or other known explosions
that are set off by friction or heat.
Scientists have been asked to study
tlie terrain in the vicinity and ascer
tain if the blasts are being caused by
some j disturbance deep under the
earth.
