QUEER WAYS OF AN
ABLE AMERICAN COURT
Selected

The gold medal for adamantine nerve has been held
for a long time by the man who, when convicted of the
murder of his father and mother, pleaded for mercy on
the ground that he was left an orphan.
But in the St. Louis court of criminal correction a
new record has just been established which makes this
old one look ludicrously insignificant.
A rich young society and sporting blood, arrested Tor
confessed theft of valuable fishing tackle, has been given
a quick trial in order that his deliberately Planned fishing
trip might not be interfered with.
The larceny to which the young swell pleaded guilty
involved a workhouse sentence. But the gracious court
had not the hardness of heart to forcibly cancel a Canad-
ian fishing engagement, for which the tackle had been so
eagerly. if feloniousy, accumulated, and contented tset
with a fine and costs, which were promptly paid.
True. there was another argument in favor of leni-
ency for the young swell. He voiced it himself when,
having pleaded guilty, he said:
81 forgot in my blindness that the sorrow the humil-
iaton and the disgrace was not for me, but would prove
a burden which M people-my father, mother, sisters
and brothers-had to share"
The touching pea possibly helped to influence the
court. 1t would seem cruel indeed in a court deliberately
to add to the sorrow and humiliation of a young mans
highly respectable relatives-so very highly respectable
as to be able to pay in spot cash the fine and costs.
Courts, after all, are human and cannot be expected
always to resist the pathetic appeal of a Inundated par
ent with coin in hand.
There is chance here for fine gush over the tender
sentiment and sympathy of a judge who may perhaps be a
father himself, or at least has had one Of his own.
But the cruel fact obtrudes that guilty young men do
go to warehouses; in spite of the sorrow and humiliation
OF fathers and mothers who may be honest and clean, but
have not that high responsibility which attaches, even in
The courts, to people who come with cash in hand.
The hope and pride of many a noble man have been
shattered and the light has gone out of the life of many a
noble woman as, penniess and helpless. they have
crouched speeches. while a court, without a Jar of its
cogs or a flutter of it's sentiment, has sentenced their be-
loved boy to a workhouse.
The other day in Chicago the building of Murderer
Hoch's gallows proceeded grimly, unheeding of every plea
of right or mercy, until suddenly the blindfolded goddess
with the scales caught the cink of gold, and, as by magic
the saving and hammering were stilled.
The speedy release of a confessed thief in order that
he may take his stolen fishing tackle on a fishing trip is
strange procedure for a court.

s OLE RuReLARIEs.

Last night there was a robbery committed in this
city; and such robberies, more or less important, some
from the person, others from the premises and others
from places of business, are occurring daily and nightly
all over the land.
This brings to mind that in the current issue of Les
lies Monthly there is an estimate Of the annual loss from
burglaries in New York. A comparison is made to prove
that burglaries cost more than fires. The relative rates
for fire and burglary insurance are used as an argument
in favor of the greater loss by burglary, as the premium
rate for fire insurance averages only a fifth of the rate
for burglary insurance.
There are about 5000 fires every year in New York,
with an average loss Of some %slOOO0OoO. The number of
fires is increasing in a smaller proportion than the in
crease of the population, and the average loss by fire is
diminishing through the increased efficiency of The fire de
partment.
The same year that there were S,424 fires in New
York there were 1,764 arrests for burglary. This does not
include arrests for grand or petit larceny, but only for
the forcible entry and taking which constitute burglary
1t is said to be the experience of the burglary insurance
companies that only one burglary in twenty is followed by
the arrest of the criminal and that the average loss is
$3.50. On the basis of these statistics there would be be
tween 10000 and 10000 burglaries every year in New
York and the value TO the owners of the property taken
would be almost 500, 000,0 These figures are difficult of
belief If this proportion prevailed throughout the United
States there would be a million burglaries a year.
The profits to the burglars cannot be computed as
anything like the equivalent of the value of the stolen
articles to their owner. Clothing, jewelry. silver plate and
other valuable portable articles, which are those most
commonly taken. are worth much more to the owners
than to the second hand dealer. Jewelry settings would
have to be destroyed. and the pate melted is worth no
more than its bullion value. Besides this absolute loss.
burglars are unable to. realize on their plumber more than
a small fraction of its real value.

STATEHOOD sENrlMENr eRoMINo.

The Ration Gazette has come out for any kind of state
hood, which can be gotten. 1t says; THAT any private
citizen should object to Statehood because 1t is not in the
right form. is evidence of mental arrangement. Time
was when we were particular to a specific kind of state
hood. but we have long since ceased to be f~astidious. All
we ask now is statehood without qualification
The Lordsburg Liberal, where Don II. Kedzie has so
long and so ably been at the helm, says: Many men who
are well informed as to the state of pubic opinion in the
two territories claim that if joint statehood is ever sub
mited to the people it will be adopted by an overwhelming
majority in both New Mexico and Arizona. The Liberal
believes in the voice of the people, and would like to hear
them speak. If knows of one vote, the only one actually
under its editors control, which would be cast for any
kind of statehood, rather than remain in a territory"
These are two Influential and desirable additions to
the ranks of those who say Statehood under any conditions
rather than remain a territory.

SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION

Albuquerque, Aug, 8, 1905.
Editor Citizen:
I'm much pleased with the position
YOU paper has taken in the matter of
demanding a change in the present
method of police control of the social
evil question.
| do not think there can be two
questions about the present method.
1t is vicious. I'm that IL has no tend
ency to suppress vice but rather to IL
cense it to any and all who may have
the money to pay the fee or fine"
The only thing that can he said of It.,
is that the method largely augments
the city revenues. which is a fact to
be ashamed of rather than boosted
about.
| need not point out the evils of the
present plan. as The Citizen has al
ready done so. But | do think there
should be a remedy adopted by the
city council. Ny idea is that every
licensed woman-and licences should
be issued, not fines imposed-shOuld
be required to abide in a licensed
house. the license paid by the house
depending upon the number of in
mates: but allow no woman to ply
this trade other than in a licensed
house. This would do away with such
cribs as have rendered famous "helis
half acre" If any are found leading a
life of prostitution outside of any IL
censed house. make them suffer the
heaviest penalty of the law.
Furthermore. remove these houses
to some secluded out-skirt of the city,
where they will not be obnoxious TO
the occupants of family residences.
AS it is now, they are in the very
heart Of Albuquerque, in a stones
throw of the main business streets,
and adjacent to much which should be
valuable residence property. AS they
now are, they have prevented the
growth of the city in one of its most
central districts, they have depriciat-
ed property every where around them
and they are so scatter through their
cribs. dives and saloons, that the cost
of policing them is great and growing.
Here is the remedy, Mr.. Editor. Con
fine every licensed woman to some II
censed house, and confine all licensed
| houses to some suburban district.

VERY SENSIBLE QUESTION.

The people are beginning to ask what advantages will
single statehood have in store for the people over that of
joint statehood. The expense of administering two states
will certainly be much greater than that of administering
one commonwealth. The influence of two very small
states will not be anything like as strong as that of a
large, a great, robust state. The chance of rings so pre-
valent in small statesswill be absent in a great state, such
as Texas, which has always been too big for any ring to
manage. In great states the chance for the RUE of the
people as against ring rule is very pronounced.
Yes, the people are making the inquiry: What ad-
vantage to Arizona, outside of a score of chronic poltti
clans win single statehood give to u.s." This is the ques-
tion the masses of the people are asking. To ask a ques-
ton is sometimes an unanswerable reply to the question
asked.-Tucson, Arizona, Star.

In The Woods.
A New York man fond of passing much of his time
in the Adirondacks tells a story which it is thought has
never before been published, with reference to a visit
made to that picturesque region by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
According to one of the old guides, who remembered
the philosopher, Emerson had enjoyed his stay immense

what sort of impression the Sage of Concord had made
upon the natives,

care TO see-pleasant and kind. And he was a scholar,
too, alus figgerin', studyin' and writin', though we think
he'd had a better time a-huntin, an a-fishin'; but, sir, I'm

What Will Emperor William do next?
There ia no use in specializing upon it. His past per-

There is a prominent newspaper man in New York,
who is going to be tried for backmailing, because he

scandal they did not want made pubic. Hasn't the police
System" of this city been of the same character? Have
not timid and defenseless women been made to pay so
fine and S. for going for the fine, in the hope of keeping

not to do SO; but some of the Albuquerque guardians OF
