Necessities

1 Iwo MIiutc Talks
by D. I. I. P. for
The Ann Arbor Savings Bank

KIOT long ago four young men conceived the
idea of beating the world. In accord-
ance with'their plans they entered a bank, shot
two innocent bystanders, cowed the Cashier
and made away .with their' loot. Thirty min-
utes later they were disoussing the robbery with
the townspeople on the'street. To all appear-
ances they had succeeded in what they set out
to do.
Six weeks later these same four young meh
entered state's prison sentenced to "hard labor
for the rest of their natural lives."
The day they entered prison a young man said.
to me, "I was Captain' of their baseball team
and never thought they were criminals." And
that is the pity of the whole thing. They prob-
ably were not criminals and yet they had gone x
to the length of committing murder in cold
blood in their attempt to reap without sowing.
When will such mis-conceived and deformed

notions come to an end? How much longer
will the human race have to suffer from the
malady of dishonesty? How much longer will
it have to live before it learns that the best
game in the world is the game of fair play?
When the world comes to such a state that men
will sow before they attempt to reap, when the
business man gives a hundred cents in value for
every dollar he puts in the cash register, when
the laboring man puts forth honest effort in the
interest of his employer, when the Capitalist is
willing to use the world without asking to ex-
ploit it, when the student is willing to learn and
doesn't ask to be taught; in short, when every-
one is willing to pay the price, then we. may ex-
pect to see more success in the world and less
misery and we can say that civilization has
truly advanced.
Such a situation need not be an empty Utopian
dream-not while we have the power to make
it a twentieth century reality.
