Justice Has Broken Down?

In a discussion of the prevalence
of crime in the United States the
London Nation takes the ground
that the quib5ling and lack of com,
mon sense in the mode Of legal PRO-
cedure is large factor in causing
crime in this country. The Nation
goes so far as to say that American
justice has broken down and to
prove this contention quotes the fol-
lowing statistics:
There are, indeed few crimes OF
which an American can more safe
ly be guilty. If he commits a mur-
der, the odds are more than three to
one against his eve. being brought
TO trial; they are more than ter to
one againt his being sentenced to.
Imprisonment; and, as has been said,
they are more than eighty to one
against his suffering the extreme
psn-ity of the law. Those are the
CHANCES officially ascertaired from

terday afternoon that he would not

His friends have been urging him to
make his decision for the past few

that he had given the matter his care
ful consideration and that his action
was final He did not state what he
expected to do when his term of of
flee expired in July 1913 but his
friends expect him to get into big
ger things. Mr. Tucker is probably
one Of the youngest county officers
in the state. He has made a splendid
official and his friends expect much
OF his in the future
Mr. Tucker makes the following
statement with reference to his ac-
tion in declining to become a can
ddate to succeed himself:
"Ardmore, Okla, MAY II. 1912 e.
ITO the People of Carter County:
Il have definitely decided that |

election to the office of county SUI
perintendent of public instruction and
in Justice to those who may become

licity to my decision.
tThis far in advance OF my retiring
from office | desire to express my
sincere thanks to the people of the
county, first for their support which
resulted in my nomination and cleo
tion and second for the loyalty they
have shown their schools in aiding
me in every way they could in the
administration of their educational
affairs. The last months of my term
of office shall be spent as the first
months We're. ! will bend every en-
ergy to make the schools better, |
will give all details the same close
attention that / have given them in
the past and my very best efforts
and work and thought and energy Will
go into the school life of the coun-
ty. ! have done the best ] knew, I
have allowed no circumstances to de-
tract my attention from my public
duties and ] feel that | have made
every campaign promise good and I
trust that the voters of the county
will give due consideration to the
person whom they elect to supervise
their schools for | shall ever have
an abiding interest in Carter county
and especially in its boys and girls.
