Prosperity and Crime,

Rev. Samuel G. Smith, of the Min
nesota State University, who was one
of the speakers at the national prison
congress, which has just been held in
Milwaukee, brought out the interesting
fact that crime is more prevalent in
times of prosperity than during a time
of business depression. This, he added
was in part explained by the fact that
during times of prosperity drunkenness
and dissipation led up to the commit
ting of crimes. He said that the propo.
sition to tho effect that crime had in.
creased in the United States while il
decreased in Europe, was entirely a fal.
lacy, His observation had shown him
that the greatest number of crimes
were committed by the most advanced
and most progressive nations For in.
stance, the Englishman was much more
addicted to crime than the East Indian.
This was due to the fact that the East
Indian was one of an old nation, salts.

suit did not seek the paths which led

Special washington Letter
The sudden death Of Ex-Speaker
Chas. f. Crisp. at the very zenith of his
powers, and with senatorial career
opening before him is a sad reminder
of the relentless fact that life at best
Is trancient and uncertain.
Judge Crisp was greatly respected in
this city, where he held the high and
responsible office of Speaker in the
Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congress.
Judge Crisp's political career began
in 1877, when he was chosen Judge OF
the Superior Court by the Georgia
Legislature.
His period Of service in the lower
branch of Congress covered fourteen
years and 1T was here that he appeared
at his best. He at once took front
rank as a worker as well as a debater.
In the latter roll he at all times com.
manded the attention Of the House.
His speeches showed much thought
and research. while in the delivery OF
them there was no acting, no striving
after damatic effect. but only a sim
plicity that attracted and a force that
carried conviction to his hearers.
Once he faced Speaker Reed. and his
colleagues who were present will never
forget that scene. Reed had made a
decision which Crisp declared was in
utter defiance of the House rules. The
Speaker stormed until the Georgia
member calmly but firmly declared
'"The Chair Is not the master of the
House, but its servant, lie must obey
its order"
The storm that followed this was ter
rife, but Crisp stood his ground. Reed
thundered out to him, amid Republican
cheers to take his seat. Finally Crisp
obeyed, with the remark: Certainly
the gentleman from Georgia will take
his seat But he will rise, resent and
reply to any similar intimation from
the Chair here or elsewhere"
In the Fifty-second Congress the
tables were turned and Crisp sat in .hC
! Speakers chair while Reed led the Re-
publican minority on the floor. The
same was the case in the Fifty-third
Congress.

have voted against silver and yet sup.

would influence voting in the senate on
the silver question, especially in the
