CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES.

Professor Lombroso's essay on crime
in America seems TO have interested
the police OF this city chiefly because
it refers TO the use of a new weapon
in Chicago-"the electric weapon.
small part of which placed on the
ead of the victim causes paraly-
sis by n strong discharge" 1t was
like going away from home to get the
news, and the comment of the police
was: "Ain't his wires crossed?' and
other words to the same effect.
Inc intimations are that the profes'
sor has been led astray by 100 credu-
lous disposition, and, seeing that ne is
so powerfully affected by strange de-
tails, it is doubtful if he has improved
much on the American authorities from
whom he gathered his Information con-
ceining the record of crime. That the
record is disgraceful and an appall-
ing one has been declared many times
| over. Some two years ago the Record
Herald commented on the fact that
the murders in Chicago averaged three
a week, and in referring TO statistics
that were then just published made
certain comparisons that showed that:
Germany, with twenty-five times the
population of Chicago, had only 60
per cent more murders; England and
Wales, with sixteen times the popula-
ton, had only twice as many murders;
France, with twenty times the popula-
lion, three and one-third more muir
ders; Belgium, with three times the
population, two-thirds as many muir
ders; Canada, with two and one-half
times the population, one-tenth as
many murders.
Reference was made also TO the opih.
ion of Andrew d. White, who had
made study of the subject. that the
record of the country was the worst
in the world, with the possible ex-
ception of that made by lower ItanS
and Sicily.
special bulletin of the census bu-
reau which was published last year
also made some comparisons that
we're not encouraging. 1t showed that
there had Deen an increase in the
percentage of crime to the population
between 1890 and 1904. and that, as
Professor Lombroso indicates, the
crimes committed by colored people
were out of proportion to their num-
bers. II showed also that crimes were
Increasing among the negroes and
among the native whites, but that
between 1890 and 1904 the percent
age OF crimes committed by foreign
born whites had fallen from 2S.3 to
23.7. This does not sustain the LON
broso theory as TO crime and immi.
grafton, but We shall draw no in
ferences from 1t because the question
is very complicated and there is need
OF careful analysis of the statistics.
The important thing for Americans
to consider Is that crimes of violence
are exceptionally prevalent here, and
there is manifest need of more
rigorous administration of the law
