j As to Bank Robberies. I.i Editor Times'.

In view of the several recent bunk and payroll robberies, one Wonders, la this era of such great prosperity when jobs are looking for men Instead cf cr.en looking: for Jobs why a tittg- of men will resort to such bold taetfes In obtaining: money knowing lull well that they take their lives into hand, or face life sentences In attaovptlnsf such. Can it bo that cur penal Institutions offer no fear to the criminally Inclined? Are the present humanitarian methods cf our penitentiaries really a protection ta society, or do these methods irr.prers th -would-be criminal with the thought of a, Ufa of ease, should he be overtaken by law? No doubt this pba.ee offers s orris consolation to the criminal. Then how about the laxity of the law? "Why not the maximum penalty In such cases Instead cf the Indeterminate There Is a question as to whether the maximum penalty-life Imprisonment 1 severe enough. In the light of numerous recent holdups, when murder and attempted murder has been involved. Then, too, how about our police systems? Art our police forces sufficiently large, especially In the Industrial districts to afford efficient protection? Are men kept on our forces who have little cr no ability as detectives? Can It ba that politics and not ability determines the constituency cf many cf our police forces? If this is the case then the criminal need have little fear cf executing his plans. If the present law Is weak, then steps should be taken at onoe to strengthen it. And If the executive department of law Is weak, then lets have sterner Judges. If our penitentiaries are vacation providers, Set'a change them to penal Institutions: if cur police forces are inadequate and inefficient, let's change the condition f or criminality is on the rampage, yea in this day of mighty "kultur" and something: rr-ust be done to check it READER.

An example of patriotism was paraded before the eyes rf scores f young men claiming exemption at the courthouse today. Many of them being married men with children had reason

for exemption but others were Isncy free and jet desired to evade draft. Raymond Delpessls, a' Sranl.h subject twenty years of age. applied fol first papers. He did not have the dol lar necessary to cover the expense aufl Sergeant William Welch told the at torneys in the court house that the boy desired to enlist and must have first papers. Welch passed the hat and Delpessls found himself with more than enough. He secured his papers, enlisted, and is now merrily on his way to fight for a country ho never knew before 1915.
