material was scheduled for the 2

LoulslANA's MURDER CROP.

If in Louisiana we attached the
same sanctity to human life as 90
the wicked Londoners, we should
have only eight homicides per year.
But how many do we really have?
According to statistics compiled by
the Rev. H. S. Johns, chaplain of the
state penitentiary, there were dur
ing the last four years 1,17S cases
OF homicides in this state. This is
an average of 294 per year, or of
nearly six homicides per week. This
means that on practically every work
Ing day Of the year a new grave has
to be dug in Louisiana to receive the
mortal remains of a murdered man.
We are no worse in this respect
than a score of other American states
but it is no consolation to know that
we have plenty of company Indeed,
the most distressing feature of the
situation is the fact that the evil is
so all-pervading.
