Society a. Whole, and especially
our own country of boosted liberty
within law, has been confronted with
an appalling disregard of law and
legal process, amounting to an epidem-
ic of crime. This is Il condition which
confronts thoughtful and law respect
ing people. however theories may diff
fer as to its cause. And it needs no de-
tailed list or statistical compilation to
prove that it has been intensified in
the twelvemonth past. 1t stares us in
every one of the POO or more negro
lynchings plus the unspeakable crimes
that inspire that extra legal, un-Chris-
tan and ineffective remedy. More than
in any former year the north has such
instances to answer for without the
apology of an outnumbering negro
mass, which the south has to deal
with. This phase of the epidemic has,
of course, its practical political bear
ings. growing out of opposition in the
south to federal appointments of ne
groes. Unquestionably the number and
brutality of murders, the suicides, the
robberies, the arsons, the forgerieS,
the briberies, and especially the crimes
of the very young, like Chicago's boy
bandits, have exceeded all former rec
ords. Sociologists are trying with new
zeal to find and remove the cause of
this decay, and many are tracing it to
the accumulation of vast fortunes and
the extravaganza and unequal distri-
button of opportunities. The al
legged tendency of modern society to
avoid the responsibility of rearing chill
dren came in for widespread condemna-
ton through President Roosevelt's let
ter in commentator of Mrs. Van
Vorst's "Woman Who Tolls" His char
acterization of this tendency as race
suicide was echoed by the many, though
denounced by some who regard quality
of offspring as more important than
quantity. The increased number
of divorces, including many in so call
ed high society, has stimulated afresh
concerted movement of pulpit and
press for more uniform restriction of
the marriage relation, though strenu-
Gus minority sees health in utmost lib
erty. The beginning of the or
ganiZation of domestic servants has
added to the perpleXity of the servant
problem, which has been solved by the
cooperative family club.
