Breakdown of Criminal Laws

Tt has been estimated that 90OO m ur- ders are annually committed in the United States and that less than 2 per cent of that enormous number pays the penalty of law.
 The United States, according to re. liable estimates, has 115 homicides per 100000 of population, while France has l9 and Great Britain and Ireland 27. In Great Britain one in every four charged with homicide is promptly hanged, while in the United States the average is one cut of every 56. From Great Britain we inherit our language, our customs and even the common law We have the same civilization and the government of both countries are democratic Our people are as intelligent, as moral and as enlight. ened as those of Great Britain. or even of our neighbors of Canada, and our judges are as learned in the law. and yet in the United States one out of every 56 murder CTS is punished. while in Canada and Great Britain there is practically one out of every three.
 According to the 1910 census there were 226 476 people living in Jefferson county Alabama. In 1911 there were 14S murders committed in that county, or .G54 murders to the thousand of population, Tn other words. out of about every l500 inhabitants of that county one was murdered in 19ll New York. with a population of 4766. .SsS. had 19s murders, or .041 to the thousand of population. and Chicago, with a popu-

Memory
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Memory The "warder of the brain" Macbeth called it.
 The art of memory Is acquired not by technical devices" said Descartes; but by philosophical appreciation of things That Is good enough to con- slider closely. If the mind has gotten the significance of thing the memory holds 1t.
 Without good memory an other wise good mind goes lamely. A 'good'' memory implies the appreciative under standing of Descares. The parrot memory is not good. The valuable memory stores facts and impressions orderly. And does more It attaches them as batteries in the mind to stimu- late original thinking.

Two Causes

T. Sentimental causes; that is a lack of proper public sentiment.
 '2. The antiquated forms of our crim- inal and civil procedure.
 President Taft recently said that 5C per cent of those tried for crimes of which they are guilty go unpunished.
 This condition is largely due to that lack of respect for law, which has been too common among our people and which has unquestionably had a tendency to lower the sense of responsibility of both courts and juries This lack of respect for the law is to some extent to be at tributed to the fact that the legislature creates too many crimes. We are toe much inclined whenever an evil exists to make its commission a misdemeanor and endeayor to make men moral and virtuous not by moral suasion or the influence of education and religion, but by the sher- ifs club, by imprisonment, or by cruel and unusual punishments. The necessary result is that many acts, the doing of which involve no moral turpitude, are made crimes, the violation of which is ignored owing to the absence of that force of public sentiment without which the severest penal statute is silent and nugatory
 AS Spencer has said: The citizen finds himself in an inextricable network of laws, decrees, regulations and codes which surround him. support him, letter and bind him even before his birth and after his death.'
 Yet the violation of the most unrea- sonable law, as has been truthfully said, tends to make a nation altogether lawless. Our statute books are filled with criminal laws, the enforcement of which public opinion will not tolerate. All such laws should be stricken from the statute books, for even though they be unwise, unjust and unreasonable their non- enforcement can only tend to a weaken respect for all laws In England every law Is en- forced and those which are antiquated or obsolete are repealed. This lack of proper public sentiment so largely re- sponsible for the increase of crime can only be removed by elevating the tone of public opinion. by securing an aroused public interest in tho necessity of the enforcement of the law and a deeper sense of civic obligation.
 'The second cause of the breakdown of our criminal law can only be removed by legislative enactment. How can such necessary legislation be secured? Even though we concede that our methods of criminal and civil procedure are anti quated and ineffective. the necessary leg islative reforms which the condition of our civil and criminal procedure in the courts of Alabama so mperatively de- mand can only be secured by an aroused public sentiment The bar of Alabama may recognize the defects of our sys- tenn, and yet without the aid and support of an intelligent public opinion the neces- sary reforms will be difficult to secure.
