Attorney General NorwOod's Report

Attorney General NorwOOd's Report,
 According to this report there were 423 persons tried on homicide charges in Arkansas from Oct. 10. 1910, to same date in 1912. Of these, 274 were convicted 38 sentenced 10 be hanged and 19 were hanged In addition to these there were 25O indictments and cases disposed of where the parties were charged with assault with intent to kill.
 Mir. Norwood says Human life is too cheap in all parts of the country, and it is the duty of every good citi- zen to create strong sentiment fav- orable to the enforcement of our statutes for the protection of human life
 He goes on to say that reports from several of the prosecuting attorneys strengthen his conviction that ntoxi- eating liquors is the predominating cause of crime.
 Further comment he says. "is unnecessary. as every unbiased citi- zen will concede that alcohol is the overshadowing cause of crime, pau perism and insanity
 Let us educate the masses to this belief, that they may be voluntary ab stainers. The only proper location for saloon is, as Sam Jones says, in the internal regions.
