CRIMINAL SIGNS OF THE TIMES

During the last five years there have
been AZ, 0O2 homicides in the United States
IAN average of 1917 per year. In the
same time there have been 723 legal exc.
BUTTONS and lois lynchngs. These figures
are Interesting and suggestive. They
SHOW, to begin with, that murder is !,
more frequent crime than is generally nm
derstood. and that it is increasing instead
OF diminishing. In the last year. 10 500
persons were killed, or at the rate of 875
per month, whereas in 1890 the number
was only 1890, or less than half as MANY
as IN 1898. 1t is not to be supposed Thai
the people are twice AS bloodthirstv as
ihey were five years ago. or that provoca-
lions of murder have been multipied IN
that extent. There must be some other
reason FOR this startling proof of The
growth OF the worst crime in the calen
oar IL is to be found, inquest onably. in
the statistics which tell how the murder
ers have been dealt with. Only 1871 of
them IN all have paid the death penalty.
ana only i23 of these-one in sixty of the
whole number-have been thus p,,nisbed
IN regular way and according to The
forms of law. There have been more
lynchings than legal executions in each
one OF these five years, and the fact is one
OF evident general significance. Chicago
Herald N'e'
That five years record far over
shadows any other five years record
IN the history of American peace
Inc cause of the awful sweep of
crime is directly traceable to the in
crease of poverty, and the frightfully
depressed condition of the people is
only the natural result of bad finan-
ciai legislation. And this does not
include the thousands of suicides
from the same cause.
The lynchings, or private hanging
bees, show that people are losing
confidence in the courts. The enor-
nous cost of allowing criminals to
escape through the long drawn out
machinery OF the courts is doing its
work. 1t convictions were more fire.
quent aud more rapid, there would be
less hanging bees. The papers are
alive with lynchings be.
cause people have too much of this
book prescription for murder, and 1t
takes long time to get the authori-
tive directions, guides and rules of
action according to stack of books
Besides, the action according to n
stack of books takes lots of money
20 keep it oiled, and is often buno-
ing and unsatisfactory. Then there
IRE other things the courts do. long
established principles they are tearing
% shreds, as judicial individual opin-
on suggests, which makes the SIGNAL
link the people are losing sonfidepce
n the courts.
The action without books, crooks.
'e-hearlngs, exceptions, objections or
else to hinder the actual
work OF Furnishing desperadoes whose
lands are red with blood and whose
lecks are ripe for glory, is more GER
ain and satisfactory. 1t brings pun
shment upon the guilty and frees
he innocent from compulsion to pay
or long, expensive and fruitless
rails.
We don't approve of lynchings, but
anno' condemn them very heavily

Inc loss OF the sugar crop of Cuba
means great deal financially to the peo-
pie OF the United States, MS well as To- lhe
people OF Cuba. Sixty seven million
spoons go into our sugar bowls every
morning until in 1906 days spoonful ut a
time means 1000 900 tons, or 4. 600. 600 600
pounds or sugar consumed by our people
fully one-half OF which comes from the
Island OF Cuba. To lose this supply and
be obliged to obtain it from other coun-
tries means an unknown increase in the
expense OF every family. Ii has already
made an increase OF one-half cent per
pound in the price OF sugar. or at the rate
OF $40, 900, 600 increase for the venr. and
this amount will soon be doubled, il not
trebled, Probably few of our peoplc
have thought that we AS n nation have
such direct interest MS this in the Cuban
rebellion. Spain has recently claimed
that her loss OF revenue export taxes)
from the loss OF the sugar crop would moi
exceen $4O0, 900, The United States will
lose at least $40, 900 600, an amount that
would go some way to the relief of The
treasury. The Cuban planter loses the
value OF all his crop The American
sugar merchant loses the money he has
advanced to the planter with which to
make the crop, and the leading house of
Cuban trade in New York has Just failed
rs consequence. -Oregonian.
From that it would appear that it
rs matter of financial Importance to
the United States to have that bellip
erency matter hurried up-a sort of
a duty owing to the sugar consuming
public which gets its main supply
from Cuba. The sooner the war is
over the sooner sugar will go back to
its nominal condition. Strange how
that matter of recognition of those
patriots hangs fire, anyway.

Would II not be wise for Senator Villas

Why not look the situation squarely in

We take the above from the San

show how the silver sentiment is

counted the condition Of the country

1900 ladies. The doctor had the
sympathy Of his large audience from

audience at times knew no bounds.
No higher compliment could be-paid
the doctor than the remark of the
President of the Chester Club "a
finer lecture was never delivered by
man. n."-Philadelphia Press.

night to nearly 5000 people in
