Andrew ID. White, ex-president of
Cornell, and former ambassador TO
Germany. In a recent interview made
the rather startling prediction that
not less than 5000 persons will be
murdered during the next twelve
months. He considers the wave of
crime which is passing over this
country In the present generation AZ
the greatest problem with yhich we
have to deal, and characterzes the
condition of criminal justice In this
country frightful, DR.. White has
made study of this subject for the
past eight years and has reached the
conclusion that we are altogether too
lenient with the punishment OF crimi-
nais He quotes statistics showing
that homicides In this country are
far more numerous than In any other
civilized country In the world. They
number forty-three times those of
Belgium. which is known 10 have the
highest homicide rate In Europe. DR..
White points out that Belgium
boasts the lowest rate. Seven-eights
of the men tried for murder are pun
ished with death. In this country he
says that one murder In seventy
four gets the death penalty. and that
the average life sentence is reduced
to seven years. After crItising sew
erely the methods OF criminal proce-
duce In our courts, DR.. White APP
peals to the people to get In touch
with their representatives and see to
II that crime is punished and the
guilty not allowed to escape. Ex-

chairman of the Republican State Conven-

on the highway to success. His style or
oratory was at first pugnacious- Here are
examples of those early days:
There are two kinds of Democratic man

the soreheads. and they come into
modern Democratic convention. we have "a
living panorama of how differences OF
opinion are matted together by the loving
spell of political hunger" And again:
For twenty years the only open way into
the Democratic party has been through the
hospital, and I venture to dispute the
utility Of an organization whose recruits
are from the sick list and whose leaders
wear the faded uniform of a deserted ser
vice.
He Immediately became noted as a cam

Many of these speeches lasted three hours.
IL was his custom in those days to carry a
big tent around with him on his campaign

to unlimited court reviews. and later draft
