The Cost Of Crime
Greater Than all Other Expenses
Education Claimed to be
Remedy.
Savannah News.

people! This is question that
would seem TO demand the attcn.
ton Of Sociologists and lawmakers
to the exclusion Of others, many
of which are less important. Crime
is our most expensive luxury. ac.
cording to figures presented bv
Mr.. Eugene Smith. 4 New York
lawyer. before the recent CONGRESS-
of the National Prison Association
in Cleveland. MIR. Smith makes
the startling statement that the
criminal classes of the Gated
States cost tho pc"plo annually
more than SGOe, 600, 900. sun
greater than the value Of the
entire cotton crop, or Of the wheat
crop, a sum that is far in excess
of the total annual expenses Of the
national government.
1t Is calculated that of this vast
sum, ON" third, used in tho prcvcn~
ton and punishment of crime, is
raised by taxation. In New York,
for example, $40, 900, 900 raised
by taxation in the city and county
was spent in 1890 in the rcpres>
sion and correction of crime. This
means a crime taxation of IS per
capita, the total expenditures of
the year being 500, 600, 600, or
about S27 per capita. The total
city, county, State aud federal
taxation chargeabIs to crime is
carefully estimated ut 500, OOO,-
600, making crime, as MIR. Smith
says, "by far the largest factor
with which political ecouo nv has
to deal. " The amount is IN ex
cess of any other public expcndi-
ture excepting that of our military
establishment in time of war, the
total expenditures for education
throughout the United States, the
item which most nearly approach~
es 1t, being only 1872, 900, 600
according to the census of 1890.
Careful estimates Of the amount
Of money and property stoion
from others, based on the number
OF habitnst criminals in the United
States and their aVe:a4o annual
pccuiatIons, furnish a gigantic
yearly total of S4O0,0oO,oO
Few, perhaps, have given
thought to the financial side Of
the criminal question, 1nd those
startling figures will he II revcla
ton. Ot course it will not do to
measure crime 10y 81 monetary
standard; the expenses arc nocu-.
S"ry ana they must be paid. The
reduction or the expenses attached

second consideration in dealing

WANT REGISTRATION OF 1898.
FULTON COUNTY DEMOCRATS EN-
TER A PROTEST.

Say the Law Provides for the Use
Next Proceeding, i'm All Interme-
Jiate or Special EIectfOns-Protcst
Has Been Sent to Chairman duBig-
non-ReaSOns Given for the Use OF
the Registration of 1898.
Atlanta. March 24-Following the action
OF ex-nepresentative Post of Coweta, the
Fulton. County Democratic Executive
Committee to-day formally protested
against the action of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee in requiring
A registration of the voters of the state,
as a qualification for voting in the prim-
airy TO be held on May Is.
Resolutions introduced by Mr.. H. II.
.Cabaniss were unanimously adopted re-
questing the Democratic State Executive
Committee to authorize all Democrats
who appeared as qualified voters upon the
registration lists for the general election
of 1898. together with all Democrats whose
flames do not appear on said registration
lists, but who have registered since Jan.
!, 1900, and also such Democrats as may
register between the present time and the
date of the state primary to be held May
Is, 1900, to vote in said primary.
The protest will be sent to State Chair
man duBignon by local Chairman Albert
Howell, Jr.
What the Law Provides.
In the discussion Of the resolution It
was stated that under the law governing
elections as found on paga IS of the acts
of 1897, the action of the State Executive
Committee is illegal. This law provides
that any citizen who registered at the
last general election will have the right
to vote at any intermediate or special
election before the next general election
Thus, those who did register and vote
at the general election of 1898, will have
the right to vote at this primary election
without further registration, because this
primary election will come under the class
of intermediate or special elections.
Another objection urged was that there
is no satisfactory machinery provided for
this registration.
The tax collectors In the country coun-
files do not keep their offices open at this
time of the year, and there is no way to
compel them to do so, and where a tax
collector refuses to keep his Office open
during the month Of April even those
who wanted to register cannot do so.
"A high state official Is reported as saying
that Post was right in his contention.
Date Was satisfactory.
The date of the primary, May Is. was
satisfactory to the Fulton County Com
mittee and II named that for the primary
here.
The resolutions also provided for a COM
mittee of five who are to arrange the de-
tails of the primary election and name the
managers and clerks the amount each
candidate is to be assessed TO defray the
expenses Of the primary and the rules gov
erning the vote at the primary, including
those who are qualified, and the prepare
ton of the registration lists.
The use of money and hired carriages In
the primary were prohibited, as in former
elections.

the ready razor.
Avery Newsome was awarded the prize.
AS the cake was given to the victorious
belle, Polly Sanders, the rival dancer,

fore the cake struck the floor Polly jumped
onto it with both feet Prof. Sneson
grabbed her TO quell the disturbance, when
the indignant Amazon tripped him down.
Before he could regain his feet Polly went
down into her stocking and fished up O
dangerous looking razor. She was prepar-
ing to sail into the PROSTATE professor
and make mince meat of him when some
one caught her. A big mulatto barber,
named Lee, went to Pollys assistance. A
little dandified looking coon pasted Lee In
the Jaw, and that individual slapped the
aggressor. About that time there was a
general mix-up.
When the room was cleaned out it was
found that Lee was pretty badly carved
