o7-St gw Murray, Nebr.
The cnpter of Ar.ria fraternity
it the University of Nebraska an
nounced today that it ?s withdrawing
from the national organization.
' Officers of the chapter were re
luctr.nt to discuss rer.sor.E5 for the
change. Announcement was made by
letters mailed to all other fraterni
ties at the university.
The nntinnr-l society is a Masonic
organization. Its chapter at Lincoln
is one of the oldest fraternities at
X. IT.
Philip Harper, David City local
president, said that the arrangel
ments had not been completed, but
raid that in a few days announce
ment of reorganization plans would
be made.
Harold Holtz. alumni member of
Acacia at Lincoln, laid tho withdraw
al to a desire for independence and
a belief that more can be acrom
plished by the local chapter alone.
"I predict !contralization on the
part of other groups r.hnn our own
before long." declared Holtz. "Or
ganization as it exists today is too
top-heavy to be efficient either for
the local group of fr-r the national
body."
Questioned as to whether rumors
current about the campus that
Acaiea was withdrawing in order to
petition another national organiza
tion for membership had any founda
tion. Hoitz answered that all affairs
of the fraternity had been placed
in the hands of a governing commit
tee and thnt no official action of any
sort had been taken.
The organization will maintain
its house at 1505 II street. Lin
coln, but whether or not it will con
tinue under its old name has not
been decided yet. it was said.
The Cass county members of this
fraternity embrace Attorney W. A.

CRIME CROSS-ROADS
EDISON BANK DOORS REOPEN
Lincoln, Oct. 21. With deposits
amounting to $104,000 and an ample
cash reserve, the Farmers and Mer
chants bank of Edison, closed Sept.
9, last, .was reopened Monday, Com
missioner Woods announced.
Under new management, the bank
has $20,000 capital and a surplus of
$5,000.
The Edison bank, Mr. Woods
stated, is the 17th institution reopen
ed under the provisions of a legisla
tive enactment permitting the de
positors to undertake reorganization.
In this case, he said, depositors
agreed to accept a 60 per cent reduc
tion in their respective accounts.
They will receive in turn, all slow
and doubtful assets for possible li
quidation in addition to the 40 per
cent credit to each account.
G. E. Fritzer Is the new president
and Merlin R. Garey is cashier.
We are at a ' cross-roads In our
policy toward crime and the crim
inal. For a number of years there
har? been a definite trend away from
basic American ideas, namely, un
hampered freedom for citizens who
live within the limits of their con
stitutional rights and fundamental
laws. A new era has sought to cor
rect every evil by passing more laws
which apply to the law-abiding as
well as the law-breaker.
In the face of the known fact
that crime is a psychological social
condition that must be treated as a
disease, we pass laws against inan
imate instruments of crime, such as
revolvers and pistols, thinking there
by to correct the criminal.
We might just as well pass laws
against skating, duck hunting, fish
ing, etc., on the theory that some
persons would thereby be prevented
from contracting colds which might
lead to tuberculosis.
The person who has committed a
crime and the person who has con
tracted a disease must be treated in
dividually. We should not endeavor
to make 10,000 normal persons live
up to regulations for one sick or one
criminal.
