times and not to organization or the
banking laws, the committee caid.

the first man in America to predict
that wealth would profiteer on the
country unless the government con
scripted wealth."
The committee said it had found
farmers of North Dakota feel that
they could not profit economically
unless they were organized politi
cally. -
"Lack of experience" was re
sponsible for the mistakes in ' ad
ministration the report, said, adding
that the most conspicuous ! mistake
had been the league s ffght on Min

Contempt for Law
Is Responsible for
Crime Among Boys
Chicago Man, Nationally
Known for Work Among
Lads, Sums Up Causes for
Growing Lawlessness.
Ihirmo Tribune-Omaha Itee Leaned Wire.
Chicago, Feb. 27. Is ..anything
wrong with the boys ot today? Why
are so many major crimes charged
against them? 1 Why. was Chicago's
greatest bank theft the work of a
17-year-old stripling?
Jack Robbins, controller of the
Boys' Brotherhood Kcpuhhc. and na
tionally known for his work-among
boys, is sure that he knows the an
swer to these questions. It is his
view, expressed today, that a grow
ing contempt for law, political alli
ances between crooked politicians,
police and dive-keepers' pull in the,
administration of justice, unemploy
ment and a general "soreness" felt
by youth against "everything in
the world," is responsible for what
he calls an amazing increase in
juvenile delinquency."
Chief justice Ulson ot tne muni
cipal courts, in an address before
the Illinois Law association, de
clared the case of Francis J. Carey,
confessed thief of Ottawa. 111., who
was released by Judge Landis in
custody of his attorneys, was re
sponsible for Dalton's action.
I think there is a great deal in
the power of suggestion to weak
minds," said Judge Olson. "I haven't
the slightest doubt, for example, that
the thett ot SocoUU by the Ottawa
boy was directly responsible for
young Dalton's disappearance. You
will note that he was naid $65 while
the 'Ottawa boy was paid $90.
"Dalton probably reasoned, 'The
other boy got away with it. vWhy
can't I?' It he is interviewed when
captured and tells the truth. I'm cer
tain this will be the case."

known welfare worker, assailed tin
