The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-01-27
S1.OO Per Year

United States is a favorite theme OF
come writer's, the utter groundlessness
of which was shown in an able paper
recently read before the national prison
congress by Eugene Smith of New
York.
The fact is, as Mr.. Smith shows, that
no statistics whatever are available az
a whole upon which such an assump-
ton can be based. The United States
census confines itself to an enumera-
ton of the prison population on GER
tain day once in ten years. The causes
which may combine to make the num-
ber of prison inmates on that day
great or small may be numerous. and
they may have no bearing whatever
on the relative badness and goodness
of the community. That statistics can
not lie is one of the biggest falsehoods
ever invented. Figures may not be In
hercntly untruthful, but the inferences
to be drawn from them are just what
the commentator wishes to draw. All
infinite number of deductions may be
made from one set of tables. An
enumeration of the prison population
of the country to be of any value must
be made day by day and not on one
day out of 5000. Even then it shows
only the number of criminals in prison
and not of those at large. Increased or
relaxed vigilance on the part of the
police. the personal equation in judges,
a slight change in the law. may great
ly affect the number of arrests and
convictions on Il given day.
That crime is decreasing can OF
course be no more mathematIcally Gem
onstrated by the census figures than
en- increase III crime. There must be
othe. sources of information and pro-t,
said Mr.. Smith. and he produced sEc3
convincing information from the per
soral observation of thousands of piif
on keepers. officials of charitable insti
tutions and of states and cite; that
the prison congress was forced to ac'
cent unanimously his conclusion that
criminals compose but a very small
proportion of our population.

WATERS keep jealous eye on their
fellows. and the man suspected of
pocketing a tip finds his position un-
tenable. The system is good for the
public. since it dimlnishes the unpleas
ing personality of a charitable action.
