Brigandage
By SCOTT NEARING

The past months of uncertainty and
alarm have called forth an avalanche
OF stories about brigandage in Mexico.
Perhaps it might be fairer to say that
the cleverly handled stories of brigand-
age in Mexico We're the cause of a vast
amount of uncertainty and alarm. Be
that as it may, the readers of newspa-
pers and magazines have been over
whelmed with mass OF convincing tes-
timony to the utter lawlessness of Mex
ico-particularly that part lying near
the Rio Grande.
The army of the United States is be-
ing used to suppress Mexican brigandage
stealing robbing, burning, assaulting,
and occasionally numbering: Thes e
things are very dreadful-in Mexico.
How about them in the United Statesl
In the United Statesf Surely not Il.
Brigandage in the United Statesf
Yes, there is more brigandage in the
United States than the most optimistic
of Mexican brigands ever dreamed of in
the widest flights of his Imagination.
All over this country the professions of
the thief, burglar, pimp and gun-man
are recognized and accepted as part of
our civilization. Take a city like Chi
cago, with population of about two
million and n half-a center of COM
merce, industry, finance, education, re-
ligious activity-and examine the evil
dences of brigandage printed in the an
nual report of the police department for
the year 1915.
The Chicago police report that in 1918
their force numbered 1881 persons who
were actively engaged for the most part
in taking care of various offences against
the law and order of the community.
Apparently the force had busy year,
for it arrested 1896 single men. 6,275
married men, 507 single women and 70S
married women, in all 1886 persons for
felonies. At the same time lo6,42S per-
sons were arrested for misdemeanors,
This makes a total number of arrests
for the year of l2l,7l4, or one arrest for
each 90 people living in Chicago in the
year 1915.
The courts of Chicago were also busy,
for during the year. the municipal and
criminal courts convicted 4,739 persons
of fclonies, and 42,24S persons of mis-.
demeanors. The catalog of crimes Is
too long to set down here, but it Is
interesting to note that there were 2,692
convictions for larceny, 4S6 convictions
for burglary, 245 convictions for robbery,
% convictions for rape, and GO convic-
tions for murder or attempt to commit
murder. At the same time among the
misdemeanors there were 20S convictions
for assault, 543 convictions for assault
with deadly weapon, and 49s convic-
tions for carrying concealed deadly wca-
pons.
The police report contains record of
II premeditatcd murders for the year,
and les cases of manslaughter and homi.
eide. The murders are cataloged under
the heads: shooting" "stabbing" cas-
saulting," "strangling," and cutting
throat"
The record here set down covers the

Printers Home Notes
(By Sam Bou.)

Mr.. and Mrs. Clint 4. Rowland were
visitors at the Home recently. He is
member of Cripple Creek Typograph-
ical Union.
The Homes oldest resident, Robert c.
Thompson, celebrated his eighty-ninth
birthday Saturday, October I, and con-
sidering his age, he is in fairly good
health; still claims to be agile, going
out occasionally and still constant
reader, devoting most of the day with
various books. He came to the Home
nineteen years ago from Denver Typo
graphical Union No. 40. He has been
a member for fifty-three years of the
I. I. u, having been a charter member
of Lafayette t1nd.l typographical I'm.

life OF a city under normal conditions.
The people of Chicago are not suffering
the disturbing effects of the political
and social revolution which has con-
vulsed Mexico during the past few years.
The city of Chicago in one year of
peace and unusually abundant prosper
ity reports l2l,7l4 arrests and 46,9S9
convictions for every crime in the cata-
log. Thieving, burglary, robbery, as
sault and even murder are matters of
every day concern. In company with
every other large city in the United
States, Chicago maintains a standing
army of police because of the certainty
that these crimes will be constantly com
mitted. Thieving, burglary, robbery, as
sault. murder and other forms of brigl
andage are a part of the every day ex-
perience of the Twentieth century Amer
lean city.
Does the telling of these facts occa-
sion any particular excitement in Chi
cago or elsewhere! Do you find the
Chicago papers or any other papers,
printing scare, headlines, Reign of Ter
Tor in Chicago - Robberies. Assaults,
Murders Occurring Daily-Citizens Form
Vigilance Committee and Call on Gov
ernor for Militia"i OF course not. Whyf
Because Chicago, like every American
city is so accustomed to this sort of
thing that it can dismiss it with few
lines in an obscure corner of the paper
and devote its scare head energies to
restoring law and order in barbarous
Mexico.
