Congressional Directory. In Il
the members or Congress admit things
COY corning themselves and their careers
their autecedents and their opportuai-
ties
seldom however does a Congressional
biography remind one Of the 6ime-novsI
days Of the WooIIy West But there arr
exceptions. quite a few Of them Note.

about Representative Charles D. Carer

HOT SHOT AT THE IMNIIGRA-
TON COMMISSION.

That was a scOTchInC Indictment
against the immigration commission
made in the House by Representative
Macon If MS charges be true, the
members Of this commission are en-
titled to wear the palm for their ca
pacity to get rid Of the good hard dol
lars OF the Government. II appears
that IN something over two years the
commission expended over S657. 600.
Now. 1t comes before Congress asking
for sl25.O 900 more to finish its work.
But when the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill came up in the House,
a point Of order was made against al
lowing this sum. It was not allowed
and unless the Senate comes 10 the
relief Of the commission II viii have 10

According to Mr. Macon. the trip OF
the com-7ission to Europe in 1907 was
pler-aI. junket for most Of the
members o. he commission rather than
an informal on gathering trip He
asserts;
sT an advised that the chairman held
no meetings Of the commission for
making out the program OF the work
OF their trip until forced to do 50 by
Senator Latimer three weeks after
their arrival IN Rome, and that he was
only induced to have a meeting Of the
commission for that purpose at thai
time because of the Senator's threat
to return home on the next steamer
and inform the press, and the Govern

the commission intended merely to de

DR.. WHITE ON HOMICIDES IN
THIS COUNTRY.

Startling and almost unbelievable
figures on the numbeI of criminal HON
icides in America have been given IN
an address by Dr. Andrew D. White
former president of Cornell and form
er ambassador 70 Germany and Russia
He asserts that the murders in the
United States are fOrty-three times
greater than in Canada and eight times
greater than IN Belgium which has the
largest number OF any European coun-
try. that IN the United States the av-
erage criminal serves but seven years
OF a life sentence and one murder IN
seventy-f0ur Is punished
The cause for this rampant prevail
euce of crime. ccording to Dr.. White
IS the fact that the administration OF
criminal law IN this country has be
come simply a game played between
clever lawyers He has little sympathy
for the idea crime Is a disease He
saws crime Is crime and the way to
dispose Of the professional criminal
Is TO hang him.
Opponents Of capital punishment VIII
take sharp exception to the remedy Dr.
White proposes But there Is some
thing wrong IN q system that allows
murder to the extent described by him
Il Is worth while TO recall that Presi-
dent Taft himself has been urgently
calling IN his annual message and II
speeches for important reforms IN
courts of procedure calculated to do
away with useless legal red tape and
various means and methods for OBJ
structlon and delay.
