ST IISIICS
5 ARTLE The
TI0RNEYS
More Criminals Among I'm
married Men Than Married
Statistics Of New York Show
Startling Figures
Facts Have Caused Comment
Over Entire Country

New York, July unmarried men
are more often criminals than married
men, according to the figures in a re-
port Of the work of the district attor-
ney's office published today by Chief
Henry d. -Sayer Of Mr. Whit
mans staff. The same is shown in re-
gard to women.
Last year 7S9, married men were
convicted in the courts of general ses-
sions and the criminal branch of the
supreme court, and zoos unmarried
men. The records for feminine de-
PENDANTS shows .66 married women
convicted and 100 unmarried.
While the percentage of unmarried
criminals in practically every sort of
crime, the report shows that suicide
is al exception. Three times as man
married as unmarried men attempted
suicide and We're tried for it in 1912.
A comparison for the last nine
a gives 1870 convictions of mar
ried men for all corts of crimes and
18,408 convictions Of unmarried men.
The report indicates that there is
a gradual Increase Of crime among
young men, the male criminals under
the age of 80 having increased In
number from 1,700 in 1904 to 1900 in
1912. During the last year many Of
tenders were Between the years OF
Is and 20.
The statistics for women prisoners
show that two-thirds of the women
brought to court were under 80 years.

Kansas City Journal: Perhaps ev-

close of his. Enthusiastically spectac-
sular campaign. That is at the rate

and far be it from: captious laymen to
say that it is not worth $3.50 to con-
vert a dyed -in-the-wool Hoosier from
the error of his ways
Possibly the end justifies the means
in all things, IL the end is a laudab1e
one and the means not too palpably
questionable. If the only way to save
.6,39S people from their sins is to pay
a slangy evangelist $10.500 for saving
them, then the laborer Is worthy Of his

New York, July Gov. William
Sulzer of New York has written q
series of five articles. in which he re-
veals how the state of New York is
graft-ridden, and how. as he asserts,
the grafters became SO brazen that
they did not hesitate to steal under
his very nose.
The first article of the series fol-
lows:
BY William Sulzer: Copyright 1913
by William Sulzer.) H~oneycombed
with graft, the state of New York, as
my investigators are today revealing
the inside workings, is a lesson to her
sister states in the union.
When / took office as governor of
the state last January, on the very
first day, my attention was abruptly
called to. the fact that during the year
gust ended there had been spent in the
state $34, 1000, 900 without a single audit.
On the second day that / was in
office a messenger presented to me bills
amounting to hundreds OF thousands
of dollars, pointing out to me where
/ was to sign my name. If I had at
tached my name to those bills they
would have been Immediately paid,
and yet the messenger thought he was
telling me nothing unusual when he
said that the other governors had
signed bills hat way and that one
that n governor had left a rubber
stamp outside his Office with the mes
senger SO that he would not be both
cred.
Leave those bills here" + said, "and
I'll look into them. The rubber stamp
period is over,
Within a week I found that there
was not only carelessness and waste
in the handling of the peoples money,
but there was theft, theft of the bold
est kind. In the very halls of the
capitol itself we found the state be-
ing robbed, with almost no attempt be-
ing made to cover up the crime or the
criminals.
Men were being paid for doing a.
hundred days work in a month, some
men for doing twenty-four hours
was furnished to the state at the high
est prices, padded pay rolls were as
common as flies in August, and here
and there and everywhere was graft,
graft, graft.
A SaIutary Lesson.
/ have written these five articles on
the graft in a great state because I
believe there is a great lesson not only
for the people of New York, but for
the people of the United States, in the
exposures that we are making.
I am writing them because honesty,
in public life is the first essential IN
the health of a nation. While it is a
horrible thing that there should be such
thieyery and c~rookedness in the state,
1t is an encouraging thing that it is
being found out.
In the first article / propose to show
how the grafters became so brazen that
they did not hesitate to steal under the
very nose of the governor, despite the
fact that my first and most important
pledge to h people when I was inaug-
urated governor was that I would give
the people an honest ana economical
administration.

Greets with al cheer
And greatly Jars

He always brings
His voice along
And says some things
Out clear and strong.
He clears his throat
When Things look blue
And strikes la note
On his bazoo.
The home team makes
A three-base hit;
AT once awakes
His modest wit.
And in a tone
That will suffice
The air is strewn
With his advice.
The umpire draws
Some notice, too,
And has his flaws
Held up to view,
And any man
Who Inlffs bail
Gets called down right
Before them all.
