Criminal Expert Advised Alb
andoning Kid Glove Methods;
Would Save Young People.
BY kent WATSON

CorresDondent.)


SIT. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The re-
turn of the public whipping post as a
crime preventive is advocated by Vic
tor j, Miller, president of the st. Louis
Police Board.
Handling criminals with kid gloves
IL not a successful method" declares
Miller in his contention for the bring
ing back of the drastic erstwhile pun
ishment stile."
'sWe cannot accord criminals the
same treatment as we would q gentle
man. says Miller. II know the whip
ping post is Illegal but it would be of
great benefit in many instances If 1t
could be used. Many criminals do not
care particularly about Jail or even
prison terms, but if big policeman
takes them into an alley and gives
them a good beating it does much to
keep them straight for a while.
"Our St Louis holdoyer has the
softiest planks in the world and the
man who gets in them always says he
was put there for doing nothing, not
thinking that If he did do something
he could keep out"
Criminals would rather loaf in jail
than work, Miller asserts.
Partisan politics works to the detri-
ment of police departments in the
larger cities of America, declares Mr..
Miller in a sweeping denunciation Of
craftsmanship.
when voters back a man, he said,
they should back him because he is
capable of serving effieiently-not be-
cause he wears the label Of party.

"St. Louis has the most efficient
police department in America. 1T is
for the reason that we don't have a
gang of political pets serving on the
force and giving protection to bunch
of lounge lizard law violators. We run
the department as business organiza-
ton. Graft seldom slips in and when
we find graft we Immediately elimin-

while politicians collect money from
them.
Reciting how crime has been reduc-
ed In st. Louis, Miller declared that
booze will continue to be sold in soft
drink bars without knowledge of the
police. 1t would take 10000 police
men to enforce prohibition in this city
alone, he said, adding that he does not
suppose prohibition will be effectual-
ly enforced until the taste or desire Of
liqnor dies out"
Right now" Miller stated I'VE

Of crime. That is not going far
enough. Thought should be given to
crime prevention, When we get to the
source Of the crime the problem is
solved. We are trying to make it SO

crime that there will be no ambition
to engage in the business. When crim-

quit.
