An Independent Newspaper
Says Crime Safe in U. S.
It was indeed a sad indict
ment of our civilization and
methods of law administration
that was uttered recently by
Dr. Walter N. Thayer, Jr.,
Commissioner >of Correction of
the State of New York, when
he said:
“Committing crimes is so
safe today that a man with
any sporting instinct and not
much in the way oif ethics will
not hesitate to take a chance.
Only about one out of five
committing a crime suffers any
serious discomfort because of
it.” And yet we are told that
our prisons are overcrowded!
o
McDonald on War
Concluding his recent visit to
the United States, Premier Mc
Donald of Great Britain, in his
farewell address to America
made the following significant
statement:
“May I venture to say this,
that at this moment and so far
as one can see for many and
many a year to come, no great
er blessing can come upon the
nations of this world than that
Great Britain and America
should remain in affectionate
relationships.
“The one certain thing about
war is that it makes another
one equally certain to itself.
In alj peace treaties that are
imposed upon the vanquished,
there is a secret clause. States
men may say there is not, but
there is, although the states
men have never seen it. The
secret clause is the date of the
next war. That is inevitable
unless the nations of broad
generous mind, deep penetrat
ing minds that see the truth
lying glittering away below the
surface, unless those nations
use the opportunity of the mil
itary peace to create a spirit
ual peace, and that is what we
are trying to do at the present
moment.”

Newspaper Errors
Comment by a subscriber on
a recent error in this paper re
calls that a Vancouver editor
recently apologized for a typo
graphical error which made
him describe a citizen as a “de
fective on the police force,”
saying it should have been un
der.~iioOd that he really meant
“a detective on the police
farce.” Which in turn remind?
us of the “battle-scarred” vet
eran who was first described
as “bottle-scarred” and in the
correction as “battle-scared.”
(Careful, Mr. Linotyper,
please.)
Just for Fun
-o
It sem? to us that the trouble
with all this peace talk is that
it may lead to war.
Waggish Diner (with menu)
“Chicken croquettes, eh? I
ay, waiter, what part of a
chicken is the croquette?’’
Waiter: “The part that’s left
over from the day before, sir.”
New that Congress has ad
journed the solpns may have
time to read some of the laws
they passed.
Judge: “Do you swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth—”
Fair Witness: “It will be per
fectly lovely, if you really have
time to listen.”
A New York doctor says old
age needs whiskey. But not
as much as present day whisk
ey needs age.
He: “When I dance with you
I feel as if I were treading on
clouds,.”
She: “Don’t fool yourself,
those are my feet.”
Hint to Housewives: Casting
too much bread upon the water
may stop up the kitchen sink.
“Sir, I have courted your
daughter for five years.”
“Well, what do you want?”
“I want to marry her.”
“Well, I’ll be darned. I
thought you wanted a pension
or something.”
“Chief,” said the tourist to
the Indian buck, “can you tell
me where I can buy some of
those Indian beadwork
things?”
“Sure,” said the chief, “I got
mine from a mail-order firm in
Chicago.”
The saddest story of the
month was about the woman
who used a flesh-reducer roller
for two month,?,, and the only
; result was that the roller got
thinner.
Now we have a wrinkle-proof
fabric. If we could only havo
a wrinkle-proof face.
Perhaps the cotton surplus
could be reduced by a more
judicious distribution of boll
weevils.
