ARTIFICIAL SIMPLICITY

It has been announced that Mr.. Har-
ding will use an automobile for his In
augural ride from the capitol TO the
White House. Since tho time OF Jsirer-
son, all Presidents have taken this
journey In a horse-drawn carriage. JEFF
fersons predecessors used an elaborate
ly-built coach. ard tho substitution Of
tho carriage was n part OF tho we'll
known Jefrsrsonian simplicity. 1t made
such o hit with tho publ cthat the Gus
tom was continued. In modern times,
tho use OF such q carriage would be
merely an artificial ostentatton Of sim
pl!c!ty and not the real article. The
automobile Is just as simple means
OF conveyance now as the carriage was
when Jefferson rode UP Pennsylvania
avenue.

FIGHTING THE CRIME WAVE

Acting upon the principle that despe-
rate conditions require desperate reme-
dies, the police department OF New
York city Is patrolling the streets with
autos full OF heavily armed officers and
taking other emergency measures 70
combat tho crime wave" With the
same idea in mind. the Legislative COM
msttee OF tho court of general sessions
OF New York has drawn up list Of
eleven drastic amendments to the state
penal laws. These amendments would
impose heavier penalties for murder In
the second degree. robbery, burglary. as
sauit and larceny. Murder In the Soc
ond degree would be punished by life
Imprisonment In every case and the
other penalties would be correspond
ingly severe.
There Is no doubt that IN great
many cases penalties imposed for crime
are entirely too mild. especially those
crimes which endanger human life. 1t
Is q question, however, whether this Is
due to the statutes or 10 the manner
in which they are administered. In
many cases. the penalties now provided
by laws in every state are sufficient, but
the laws usually provide q sliding scale
from which the judge picks the penalty
for each individual case. II quite often
happens that there Is undue lcnlency,
both in the pursuit. and sentencing of
criminals. Possibly tho moro rigid
execution OF the existing laws would
he more effective than 20 pass new ones
imposing heavier penalt;esT
On tho other hand. arbitrary minimum
penalty has been shown 20 be effective.
In IVES, Virginia. wo have a law pro-
v!ding that any man found carrying a
concealed weapon shall serve not less
than six months in jail. No judge has
power 70 lower this penalty. Tho result
has been = very marked decrease In tho
number OF pistol totcrs." 1t is admit
ted that this law does not reach the pro-
fess!onal criminal. but there Is no law
that will deter the man bent on tho COM
mission OF a crime from carrying
weapon. It does reach the man with
criminal tendencies. Severe minimum
penalties might produce better effects
than severe max!mums.
