Causos OF Crime

Robert Heiusclmau, pardon clerk of
Kansas. has prepared some interesting
statistics on the cause Of crime as re-.
vcaled b. the records OF convicts in the
state penltentiary Liquor comes in for
the lions share. For instance, S2I
prisoners reporting, a census showed
that 6o2, or 1873 per cent. were III the
habit Of using liquor. OF those who
use liquor, nearly all, or 81 per cent,
gave what they consider the cause Of
their downfall, and Of those who gave
the cause TT their downfall, $50 report.
ing on this point, 227, or TO per cent,
gave liquor as the direct cause for their
crime; and lI2, or S7.2 per cent, gave ii
as one Of the causes for their downfall.
Only 2b.7 per cent OF the prisoners re.
port that they did not use liquor
Whisky and gambling, women aud
drinking" "boose and idlcneSs' Og
equiv alent terms are frequent answers
where liquor is given As contributing
cause.
So that the influence of liqdur on the
commission Of crime is shown by the
fact that the peuitcntiary is an imstitu.
tioi in which Ira per cent of its IN.
!
cent of those who use liquor give il rs
the direct or contributing cause of their
downfall
Perhaps, also. some conclusions
might be drawn from the fact that there
are only eleven counties III the state
which have twenty or more criminals
in the peuitentiary, and that seven OF
these counties are in the first two tiers
along the Missouri border; also from
the fact that while in census taken
some time ago in the prison, Of Soc
prisoners only lbI, or IS per cent, werC
natives of Kansas; almost as many, I2S
or Is per cent, were from Missouri, Ok
lahoma, Colorado and Nebraska com
bined furnished only twenty-five prison
ers. or less than ! per cent.
Again. the absence Of home inhuenc,
| and the fact that the great body OF pris
ouers were entirely away from the III
fuence OF parents, brothers, sisters ant
other relatives is quite noticeable among
the conditions which conduce 10 crime
For example, census being taken il
which $50 prisoners reported, only fifty
five, or 81 per cent, were living a
home when their trouble occurred, "
per cent left home OH or before the!
! were Al years old.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1912-02-15

They left home, most of them for
very laudable reasons; for instance,
about 80 per cent left home t. work; "a
per cent because Of the death of one or
both parents; 10 per cent to marry, and
yet the important fact remains that
over 90 per cent were away from home
when they committed the crime which
sent them to the penitentiary.
In addition to the use of Intoxicating
liquor and the lack Of home influence,
another important element enters into
the peculiar sphere of the criminal. 1t
is the fact that nearly half of the pris-
oners were idle when their crimes were
committed. Out of total of So4 men
reporting, 247, or 4I.b per cent, were
idle. The average period Of idleness
was ga weeks.

Drink Record OF 1911.

In a statement recently sent out by
the national Department OF Commerce
it appear, that the United States now
bears the humiliatiug distinction of
consuming more liquors thau any other
civilized nation. According to this re.
port, our consumption OF intoNicants
amounted 10 gross and scandalous
total OF 2oA5S 900, 900 gallons last year.
This figure is so large the average mind
will only dimly comprehend its signif-
canoe. II YOU will imagine continu-

deep extending from St Louis to san

idea of what it takes to slake our an.

this stream of alcoholic beverages into

misery, poverty, vice and crime which
follow in the wake of this munstrous in.

putation. There is a little lean coUso.

sumo the largest amount of liquors Of

An Old Tree.

An old cypress log, part Of
which Is being made into boards, on
ditch ~, about two miles northeast
Of town, attracted the attention Of
w. w. Hyde and &. f.. Houston,
who began wondering how old the
tree might have been at the time II
died. The log was about five feet In
diameter and this together with its
appearance indicated that the weight
of many years had been upon 1t. So
they proceeded to investigate. They
counted the rings on the end Of II
cut that had been sawed of, which
Indicated each seasons growth dur
ing it's lifetime, and found that II
was 40 years old Mt the time IL was
taken out of of the ditch right-uf-
way, about four years ago. They
figure that it was probably standing
there as IA small bush at the time
when Columbus discovered Ameri-
ca. If not, it began its life ut abOu;
that time. They counted the rings
back about one hundred years from
the outer edge to see about what its
size and condition was at the time
the 1872 earthquakes came and
found that there had at that time
apparently been disturbance in its
growth; the rings for several years
there were more compact, closely
knitted and somewhat irregular.
Since that time the tree had grown
about one foot In diameter. After n
long life spent ms n silent sentinel
Of IA vast surrounding forest 1t was
found to he standing in the middle
of modern drainage canal right-of-
way, and yielding to the mighty
force Of the modern explosive, dyna-
mite, its great body crashed To earth
to rise no more. Parma Victor.

NEW YORK, July 9.sThe cotton mar
ket on the opening today displayed con-
siderable strength, showing in the first
figures quoted a net gain of to II
points over the previous close. The
strong Liverpool cable gave some support
TO our market, which caused some of the
steadiness. The big traders who We're
freely sellers yesterday were good buyers
on the opening. However, very little cot
ton was for sale.
The leading factor for the return Of
bullish activity was wet weather in the
eastern belt. and anticipation that the
government weekly report on weather
would be unfavorable In the forenoon a
heavy buying movement prevailed upon
the market, with the spot interests the
best buyers and the ring crowd seemed to
be short A wave of covering soon
started, causing the advance, July and
August crossing the 12c level. with other
positions following the advance closely,
setting new high levels for the year
The strength of spots and continued
