The Medical Times notes the fact that
in 1850 there WAS one criminal in $500
of our population but in 1880 there was
one in 1Gs.5. a startling increase in forty
years. and adds: There must be some
way to stay this mad rush of crimes ;

gest to the Times, that chief among the
factors of the crime and deterioration
which it deplores are intoXcant~. We

The only thing certain about it, policy
is that both the President and Secretary

1t is not so clear that there's any better
