Can't Stop Smuggling.

defends customs officers for not stopping
the smuggling of liquor from Canada.
showing that it is a physical impossible
lty to patrol the border roads with the
forces employed and the other duties
that must be attended to.
As a matter of fact. unless the gov
eminent is prepared to quadruple the
force on the border, employing a small
standing army of spoilers" and detec-
tives, smuggling can only be slightly cur
tailed and probably never stopped
Outside of the large profits, there is
a fascination about smuggling that ap-
peals to Adventures and restless spirits
who are always ready to take chances
where there is an element of danger 1t
has always been so and the same thing
applies to almost all excise regulations
especially where illicit liquors are in
volved.
Smuggling French brandy is a stand
ard plot for English romances. Moon
shine-making has been immortalized in
American literature over and over again
There is something inherent in human
nature that rebels against customs and
excise. 1t almost caused a war in this
country in the early days.
PROFESSIONALLY, the government Off
GERS should enforce the laws, but they,
like all other human beings, cannot ac-
compllsh the impossible.

Use the right of the road if you ride
and the left if you walk where there are
no sidewalks" is the advice which the
safe and sane roads federation of Mass
achusetts is sending out to communities.
1t is good advice too, for the danger of
automobiles running down pedestrians
on country roads after dark has been
found greater when the walker is on the
right hand side, because drivers are
often blinded by the glare of headlights
on cars coming from the opposite direc-
ton and cannot see objects Immediately
in front of them. Walk on the left if
you want to be right.

Gilbert Chesterton. who soon is to pay
his, first visit to America. is a prominent
circles. He is AZ years old, and was ed
ucated at st. Paul's school. He weighs
around 300 pounds and is described as
looking like a composite picture of Bal
zac and Samuel Johnson. Between Grey
boards at Play, which he wrote 20 years
ago, and The Crimes of England, which
was published during the late war, Mr..
Chesterton has written more than thirty
books. He is Englands greatest authori-
ty on Dickens, but personally he prides
himself on being England's greatest au-
thority on hams and bacon. He lives at
Beaconsfeld, Bucks, and does most of
his work in a library that he built in a
field across the road from his house.

Too Easy Now.

(Greenteld Recorder.
One way to lessen the number of hold
ups and robberies which now trouble the
country would be to make it more difficult
for everybody to buy firearms, partic-
uarly the sort most used in this class of
crime. Licenses are required to carry
pistols. but this law is entirely without
effect in the case of lawbreakers What
seems to be required is a law in all the
states making a license necessary to pur-
chase arms. 1t would offer no serious
obstacle to the reputable citizen desiring
to buy revolver, and it might give
considerable trouble to the criminal class,
II 1t were properly enforced.

In the recent liquor smuggling cases,
one man wept when given Jail sentence
by Judge Howe, but none of those fined
seemed to deem their punishment worthy
If tears. The profits of rum running
are evidently large enough to be a salve
to almost any fine imposed, but a Jail
sentence is another story. More of them

A GREAT CRIME WAVE.

The tremendous crime wave in the
arge cities of the country is alarming.
Chicago in 1919 had 336 murders and
IA convictions for murder, an average
If one conviction for every eight per-
sons killed. Last year also Chicago had
1896 cases of theft, a total reached
by adding together the 2,916 robberies,
SOB burglaries and 4,447 cases of mo-
Tor car stealing. The value of the stolen
100000. One police captain in one
snOnth failed to report 104 of 141
,rimes committed in his district. The
police department had no adequate
criminal records.
Since January 1 New York city has
he sensational killings known as the
EIwell, the Eckert, the Simpson and
he Hoxie cases. The total facts as to
robberies and thefts are not available
because the police department does not
rive them out. But publicity was per-
nitted for $50 holduJs and rObberies in
go days of 1920, with a loss of more
han $3,0O0.0OO. and for November of
$4,000. These figures are held to be
but a fraction of the true total, yet they
surpass the records of other years. No
account is made in these statements of
he Wall street bomb killing. Hardly
lay passes without the report of some
big robbery on the streets of New York
and it is probable only a part of the
crimes are reported.
The cost of such criminal work is
shown by the rates charged for insurance
against burglary. In Boston the cost
of hold-up and burglary insurance is 81
per thousand dollars; in Cleveland, St
Louis and New York, $3.50 and in Chi
cago $27.5
Can it be that the police system of
the country is breaking down? Certainly
there is no excuse for suppression of the
news of crime by the officials and one is
justified in susecting that fear of pub
lie revelation of their ineffectiveness
causes them to suppress the news of
crime. Unless the wave of crime is sup
pressed it is quite possible it will affect
the transference of population from
rural to city life. Every sensible bust
ness man will hesitate to conduct bus
mess in a community that has such haz-
ards as exist in the large cities. 1t is
safer for him to take a smaller profit
in community where he is reaonably
sure of keeping it than to make larger
profits and have them stolen on public
streets in broad daylight
