THE GUILT IS DIVIDED

TODAY'S OKLAHOMAN carries the fol-
l lowing highly interesting editorial para.
graph:
o. d. Crane, United States soldier,
fought through the battle of the Argonne
in France and escaped with only frac-
tured bone in his right leg. His brother,
Lyman Crane, walking quietly across
crowded street in Oklahoma City, bother
ing no one and innocent of any crime, was
shot and killed by a reckless policeman.
1t isn't always the Huns who are the great
est menace.
No, it is not always the Huns-it is often
the official or sem-official roughnecks at home
who do the damage. Here in Oklahoma there
is altogether too much gun-toting, both by "of-
fcers of the law" and by private citizens. 1t is
high time that this state become sufficiently
civilized to make safe the adoption of the Euro
pean police system of non-firearmed police
men, Under our present system perhaps the
official gun sometimes helps to protect the
public, but every now and then it is the occa-
sion of a pathetic tragedy such as The Okla
homan records.
policeman who imagnes that he has
authority" to fire a revolver in public street
to prevent the escape of person whom he is
trying to arrest is lacking in common sense
and knowledge of the law. There is no law
which justiies such an act The innocent by
stander or passerby, such as the late Lyman
Crane, should have protection first. 1t is bet
ter that a thousand speeders, guilty though
they be, should escape than that one such
good citizen should be slain.
Incidentally, the speeder who got away is
particeps criminis He was violating the law.
That violation resulted in the death of a fine
young man who was an asset to society. The
speeder, whoever and wherever he may be, is
a distinct liability to society. He should be
jailed for every offense of that sort.
