GAZING Of BANK
ON MISSISSIPPI
Gets ATTENTION
Mayor Wood States Col. Townsend
of Mississippi River Commits
sion is Getting Busy.

Mayor Wood has taken up the
matter of checking the erosion OF
the bank north of Cairo on the
Mississippi river. The Mayor stated
,ast night that he has word from
Col. Townsend, chairman of the
Mississippi River Commission, that
he will personally look after the
matter. Mayor Wood said that blue
prints had been made showing the
conditions at this point from 1910
up to about last Wednesday and
that a copy had been sent to Col
Townsend.
The point where the erosion is
greatest does not threaten Cairo as
yet, as it is considerably north of
the Cross levee.

MoTHER-lN-lAW NO JOKE,
COURT RECORDS PROVE

As a destroyer of marital happiness
mothers-in-law are six times as danger.
Gus as fathers-in-law and rank with
the intermittent" husband as causes
for divorce, according to statistics
shown in the records of the court OF
domestic relations by Chief Justice
Olson of the municipal court of CHI
cago. He spoke on Our Courts at
a meeting OF the philanthropy depart
ment of the Catholic Women's league
in the Fine Arts building.
NO court In the country has such
gigantic forces behind il as the Chi
cago court of domestic relations,
said Judge Olson "Forty-six per cent
of the cases brought before It have
been caused by liquor. A significant
fact in the history of the courts of the
world is that while only 2 per cent o'
the population are criminals, most
crime is committed between the ages
OF 15 and %, and 25 per cent can be
traced directly to mental deficiency.
Crime today is static. BY looking
at our record books l can tell you
within five cases the number of burg
laries which will occur in Chicago
next year.
"In half OF the cases of unhappy
homes brought before the domestic
court, the families have been reunited
This has been largely due to the influ
ence of such women as DR.. Anna
Dwyer. who has gone down to the
causes OF each case to find a remedy
Now the judges won't handle case
without consulting DR.. Dwyer."

Cost Of Crime in U. S.

Staggering figures as to what the
annual warfare against crime costs
the United States are contained in
an estimate submitted recently by
Prof. Charles ]. Business OF Wash
ington, ID. C. He puts the total at the
overwh elming figure OF $4,000, ,000.0 900
n year. and other experts have pro
nounced this relatively close approx.
imation. This total includes all the
money that Is spent in arresting, try
ing, convicting, furnishing and feed
ing criminals. and the losses they
cause through theft, incendiarism, etc.
Figures OF such denominations are
SO bewildering that the average per
son can not conceive OF what they
really mean. A better idea OF it can
be shown when It is said that this
outlay annually would build twelve
Panama canals. II is six times as
much as congress appropriated for
all national expenses at the close OF
the last fiscal year.
It Is more than the governments OF
the United States, Germany. France
and Great Britain paid out for all
governmental purposes In the year

1912, year that was characterized
by huge national drains because of
building big battleships and the in
crease OF armies and their equipment
in Europe.
The money cost in the United
States is divided among the national
and state governments. The Massa-
chusetts Prison association has esti-
mated that in that state alone the
annual crime bill is s6,5OO,000, all Of
which money sooner or later has to
come out of the tax payers pockets.
And in spite of this enormous out
lay, crime is constantly increasing in
this country.
William Tallack, secretary of the
Howard association of London, a pris-
on reform organization, spoke of Amer
ican prisons he had visited as The
hotel and collegiate prisons of the
THE whole class of criminals and
vagrants in America are treated with
a leniency which is positively cruel
to the honest community, inasmuch
as this tends TO remove the dread of
evil. 1t has been abundantly proved
by European experience that it is
dangerous to render crime attractive
by rewarding its perpetrators with
privileges not attainable by honest
laborers."
