DEALING WITH CRIMES II
CANADA.

From the Chicago-Times Herald on Jan.
uary 1Sth 1901.
1.-The citizens of the Dominion of
Canada have just cause to be proud
of their record as abiding people.
The annual report of the criminal
statistics of the Dominion, which has
a population of over 100000, shows
that there were only twenty-five in
dictments for murder in 1899, of
which only two were left without
final action. Eleven of those indicted
were hanged. nine acquitted and
three confined as insane.
Canada is a country of vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over
a wide stretch of territory, making
police surveillance particularly diff
cult and in many districts impossi-
bic. Yet a city like New York or
Chicago alone furnishes, a far greater
criminal list every year than the
whole vast stretch of territory from
Quebec to Vancouver.
1.-The Canadians ascribe their i'm
munity from crime to the prompt
1902 Will "lIiCl1 10
mcted out to offenders. When a man
is caught red-handed in the act of
robbing another he is not released on
straw bail by some justice of the
peace from the slums, to go out and
repeat the offense. Sharp and sure
all kinds, the result being that when
the guardians of the public peace
succeed in bringing thug to the bar
they are seldom called upon to hunt
him a second time.
Furthermore there are few court
delays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no
Dreyer cases over there. There are
no methods whereby Canadian Grim
mails can have the proceedings stayed
from month to month and from year
to year or after being convicted, ap-
peal from one court to another until
witnesses die of old age or opportun-
tiles for corruption can be found.
''Nor does this swift method of
treating with wrong-doers in Canada
leave the innocent unable to proper
ly defend themselves. They have all
the opportunities and privileges that
our own laws extend to them. The
extent to shield the guilty is lacking
that is ALL.
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald gives
some idea of the Immunity from
crime that exists in Canada, and this
is one of the many inducements held
out for Americans to settle in the
district known as Western Canada.
The season of 1901 will see few Sec
tions of the country opened up for
settlement. They are attractive in
every respect. 1t is understood that
enc of the best Indian Reserves I'm
the famous Valley of the Saskat-
chewan will be opened up this year,
and an invitation is extended to those
desiring homes to make inquiries.
The price of the land is said to be
nominal Besides these lands, the
several railway companies have lands
to sell; also the Government. For
particulars write to the Agent of the
Government, whose advertisement
appears elsewhere.
