NO ONE KNOWS
WHETHER CRIME
IS ON INCREASE
CRIME PROBLEM IS A NATURAL
PART OF UNEQUAL PRO
GRESS AND RICHES
JACKSON. Miss., Nov. 17. (JP)—
Lack of an exact knowledge of the
crime situation and the absence of
concerted action by the forces strug
gling with crime are the chief reasons
why greater progress has not been
made in coping with lawlessness said
Dr. Frank Moore, president of the
American Prison association and sup
erintendent of the New Jersey refor
matory, in addressing the association j
convention here today.
“No man knows today whether [
crime is on the increase in the United
States,” said Dr. Moore. “But one 1
thing is surely true, and that there is ,
crime—plenty of serious crime, too !
much desperate crime in this coun- j
try.” He said that America would '
solve the crime problem.
Referring to assertions that Ameri- ;
ca has more crime than any other civ
ilized country, Dr. Moore said such ;
had no significance.
“Our crime problem is a natural
part of our unequaled progress and j
prosperity. It is on that account not
a thing of natural disgrace but rather
a mighty challenge to our patriotism
which the pride we have in our good
name demands that we should accept,
and conquer.”
Dr. Moore mentioned two reasons
for the possible failure of the parole
system: the discharge of the pris- i
oner has been on a time basis rather
than upon a character basis; parole
is not accompanied by adequate super-1
vision.

"If we could only get the big, broad
brotherly idea that a prison is a place
of education in right living which is
the only thought that a weak human
ity and a Christian nation ought to
have about prisons,” he said, “then the
scales on which we weight the offend
ers would be so delicate that we |
would be better able to tell whether !
he has reformed and should be dis
charged.
“But here again cooperation is need
ed. The definite sentence must give
place to the indeterminate, and judges
must use it.”
Dr. Moore urged that prisons adopt
a "sane, sensible and scientific classi
fication,” of prisoners which would
place each group where it belongs and ,
which would provide the special treat
ment its character requires.
OSAGE INDIAN IS A LIVING
GHOST AMONG OWN PEOPLE
PAWHU'SKA, Okla., Nov. 17. (TP)— J
A living ghost among his own people !
is John Stink, hermit of the Osages. |
Buried as dead and resurrected from j
the grave, he lives today alone in a
tepee, an outcast from his tribe, a
spirit, shunned.
John is 62. He is wealthy, oil roy- !
alties alone bringing him more than
$1,000 a month. But he is shut off
from almost all communication, be- i
cause he cannot speak English and :
none of his people dare talk with (:
him. (
Twenty-one years ago Ho-tah-moie, 1
which was John’s Indian name, be-1 ]
came ill of a fever. He swooned and '
in falling was knocked unconscious. 1
All the witchery of the Indian medi- 1
cine man could not restore him to i
consciousness. So he was pronounc- i t
ed dead and a few hours later was
buried with the tribal ritual. £
The Osage custom was to bury the 1
dead in a shallow grave, the corpse 1
in a sitting posture, with the head 1
above ground. Over the body they
would build a small mound of rocks,
sticks, and mud, leaving the head
alone uncovered.
The cool earth and a few hours’
time restored John. He worked his
way out of the grave and crawled to
his tepee. It was night. John’s rel
atives mistook the figure at the te
pee entrance for a ghost. And to
them he has remained a wraith ever
since.
For some years Ho-tah-moie eked
out an existence in Pawhuska. His
only companions were dogs. With
them at least he could commune.
Back Bad Today?
Then Find the Cause and Correct It
As Other Folks Have.
There’s little rest or peace for the
backache sufferer.
Days are tired and weary—
Night brings no respite.
Urinary troubles, headaches, dizzi
ness and nervousness, all tend to pre
rent rest #r sleep.
Why continue to be so miserable?
Why not use a stimulent diuretic
.o the kidneys?
Use Doans Pills.
Thousands recommend Doan’s.
Read this interesting case:
Mrs. F. W. Baker, 409 1st East
3t., South Bend, Wash., says: “I suf
ered severely with backache. For
lays at a time I went around all
)ent over because of the terrible
)ain in my back. Some mornings I
vould have to be helped up and I
vas hardly able to move about for a
'’hole week. Doan’s Pills removed
ill the trouble and I have had no re
urn of it since.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
imply ask for a kidney remedy—get
loan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
laker had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
