Court House Art.

The county board Is wrestling with
proposals for interior decoration Of
the new court house. which II Is
taken for granted all desire to be a
thing of beauty and q Joy forever.
In addition to the usual tinting and
borders, the specifications are said
to call for a number of wall panel
paintings Unless. however. the
members OF the county board know
a great deal more about art than
most OF US profess TO. they will be
daxzled chiefly. II they rely on their
own Judgment, by catchy sketch
rather than the real artistic merit Of
design and execution.
whatever paintings are put on the
walls at this time will be staring at
all who visit the court house for
many years to come. The only good
reason for going into this decorative
feature Is to raise the art level and
10 stimulate appreciation Of art and
esthetic beauty among all classes OF
our people. Above all. the court
house walls should not be disfgured
with gaudy daubs. TO which plain
walls would be far preferable.
There are some people In Omaha
who have made study of art, and
who have a good artistic sense. and
who would doubtless DO willing to
render assistance and advice freely
n they were called upon for sugges-
tons or criticism. To be sure. they
might even disagree among them
selves as to what Ia best. as most
artists do. but out of combined tudg-
nent. we would certainly be saved
from anything in the nature Of an
art atrocity.

Murder and Justice.

Why are so many more murders
committed in New York than iu Lon
don, and proportionately, in the
United States than in England? Does
the fact that comparatively SO few
convictions are secured here and so
many in England have anything to
do with II? In England few muir
derers escape arrest and conviction.
In England also murder trials are
conducted with all due expedition,
In striking contrast with the United
States.
OF 1873 murders committed In New
York in 1911. 22s In Chicago. 1o1
In ST. Louis, and 50 on with sixty
other American cities, says the New
York World. not one murderer was
executed within the year in which
he committed his crime. True, we
have the Beattie case In Virginia to
point TO as proof that the laws de-
lays do not always defeat or stave
off justice, but such examples have
come to be the exceptions.
Official statistics show that in
1910 six of every 100000 persons in
this country we're murdered. The
total number OF convictions of muir
derers Is not at hand. but statistics
are for few cities in 1911. which
are significant enough. While New
York police arrested lie Of the 1913
murderers in 1911. the courts there
secured only one conviction in every
nine cases before them. In Chicago
the police arrested ia Of the 22s
murderers and the ratio OF convic-
tons was also one in nine; the Phil
adelphia police caught II Of 81 muir
derers and the convictions we're about
the same as in the other two cities,
San Francisco stands out with one
conviction out OF every two cases.
In London. with a population OF
about 100000. only nineteen muir
ders were committed in 1909, and
all but one were arrested and con-
victed; In New York, with a popula-
ton OF less than 5000, 900. 1913 muir
ders were committed In 1911.
The common excuse that the
American police are less efficient
than those abroad. will not explain
away this awful Indictment. The rec
ords make a fairly good showing for
the police, The trouble lies In the
prosecuting mechanism and In the
courts. where techniealities and the
laws delay" are the forces that
defeat Justice. Unclog the wheels
OF justice with the red tape. make
the technically Of the law subservi-
emit to the plain purpose and see II
sir OF every 100000 OF us are still
murdered every year. Conduct GRIM
inal cases on their merit and make II
harder for hair-splitting lawyers
with no higher motive than q fat fee
to obtain the freedom of bloody
handed criminals. and We shall give
back to the law some OF It's terrors
to the evil-doer.
