''Friends of temperance throughout

Deneen or his managers did not make
the temperance question an issue in

abundance of evidence that the liquor

Yates. The governor has invariably
declared that it is question to be put

Now for the Election.

Since the primary is over it is now
in order for all Republicans in Jeffer-
son county to support the nominee for
governor in loyal manner. 1t mat
tiers not whether one was for Yates or
Deneen. That was matter of pref
erence for each voter to decide for
himself. In fact, it is the object Of
the primary to give each voter the
privilege of expressing his choice and
having that choice counted. 1t is not
the object of the primary to get the

every Republican to support the nonli-

Races and Crime.

easy on the Americans and hard on
the foreigners and the statistics fur
nlshed for the Jews in reply were
Just the reverse. That there is much
instruction in any of the figures is
doubtful. Certainly it is impossible
TO indict a race with them. The
subject is altogether too complicated
Tor that. If certain foreign colony
should make particularly bad Grim
lnal record the causes would probably
be found not in the character Of the
race but in tile conditions under
which the people had lived both in
their own country and in the United
States.
There is, OF course, no American
race except the Indians so that the
classic cation of criminals as Ameri
cans requires some investigation also
When foreigners want to emphasize
their numbers in the country they
count their children to help swell
the total, even though the children
are American born. And it is a fact
that many of the children not only
grow up in the homes of i'm migrants
but associate almost exclusively with
foreigners and the children of for
eigners. If society must bear the
blame for their miSdeeds the partc.
uar society in which they live can
not escape responsibility. And il SO
per cent. of the violent crimes that
are committed are committed by
Americans we may be sure that they
are not all Americans of American
parentage. The parentage of such
persons in the population is much
too small to make the record among
the possibilities.
At the same time it is clear that
the United States has from wear to
year an appalling showing of violent
crimes. In table Of homicides that
was printed in The Popular Science
Monthly this country furnished four.
teen cities out of twenty-six that
were distinguished as murder centers
Rank was assigned according to the
annual averages of hOmocdes per
loO. 0oO, population and Lexington,
Kansas City. Louisville and St. Louis
all outranked Rome. A bove them were
La Paz' Bolivia, Lima, Peru, Sassari.
SARDINIA Girgenti. Sicily and the City
OF Mexico. The Mexican'record how
ever was for one year only, and most
oft he others were for short periods.
But that Of Naples extended from
lS79-lS99, and the American records
were for four Or five years.
In the American cities that we
have mentioned race question would
suggest the col0red race rather than
newly arrived foreigners, but accom-
panying the table there is state
ment that large percentage Of the
graver crimes in New York is attrib-
uted to certain elements of the alien
population, and it is among the for
eigners that most of the victims are
found. or ninty-One persons who
were killed i'll 1905 only thirty eight
were born in the United States.
With their home records the Ital-
ians make the worst showing, but
they have many champions in this
country who can testify to their in
dustry and thrift. What we need is
not indictments to race prejudice but
an enforcemens of law.-ChicacO Re-
