WHY CRIME INCREASES.

A Jury in a Now York City court.
last week, acquitted Negro muir
derer who, according TO the testimony,
mad slain his victim. white man, in
a brutal manner and without provo
cation. The jury gave credence to
the improbable story OF tho crime
"a told by the accused man.
Judge Alfred ]. Tallcy. who pro-
sided over tho court. was shocked by
thi, verdict. which he denounced ms
miscarriage Of justice. and said TO
the Jury:
This kind of . verdict makes
futile the efforts OF tho Police De-
partment and the prosecuting Of
ficers In their efforts to protect
law-abid!ng people.
There were $500 homicides In
this country last year. and. as It
was declared ut the meeting of the
National Bar Association In San
Francisco. that Is the average In
the last ten years. No other coun-
try in the world has record for
such shocking lawlessness, and
the reason we hold the worlds
record In crime, and particularly In
murder. is because juries render
verdlcts OF this kind"
There is An alarming increase o.
violent crime IN this country all tn,
time, especially OF the crime OF muir
der. II is In evidence here in Della
ware ms elsewhere.
While murderers are convicted Il

HUGHES AND LODGE.

Secretary OF State Hughes. In his
address at Republican melting In
Boston. Monday night did his best TO
promote the cause OF his friend Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge. who Ia n
candidate for reelection to sixth
term In the United States Senate. but
that best was not much. For while
Hughes and Lodge In respect of per-
sonality arc largely two of kind"
--coldly reserved and lacking sym
pathy with tho great body OF the
people-Hughes is never n sympa-
thetic speaker, and also he evidently
was concerned about saying anything
that could prove OF any advantage 10
Lodges cause.
SO Secretary Hughes praised sena-
tor Lodge, and then devoted the re-
mainder OF his remarks 20 an expo
sition OF his own foreign policy. Nor
could he say a great deal about this
important element OF our national ad-
ministration, as the country has yet
to be informed as TO the real foreign
policy Of the Harding administration
under the immediate direction Of Mr.
Secretary OF State Hughes.
Mr.. Hughes Is one OF those who
killed the cause OF the League of Ma
tons at Washington, after having
publicly expressed favor of it. 1t is
no wonder he did not feel that in his
Boston address he could say great
deal In support of Senator Lodge
who was one Its chief executioners.

WORSE THAN WASTE.

Estimates of the deficit that will be
found in the national treasury at the
close of tho current fiscal year are
continually on the increase, as the
extravagant and impractical plan Of
the present administration to spend
more money than it will be able 10
collect advances in development. Sew
eral weeks ago the deficit was esti-
mated at 500, 900, 900; now it is said
It will amount 10 at least a billion
dollars.
II Is a puerile financial policy 10
create deficits and floating debts in
ordinary times. During the stress OF
war, with demands continually and
alarmingly increasing, it may be i'm
possible to estimate in advance how
much money it will be necessary to
collect in order to conduct a national
administration for a year. But in
times of peace it is possible TO make
this estimate with reasonable ap-
proach to accuracy.

England has reminded us that she has
one which American ships must heed.
The American steamship President
Adams. arriving at London. unloaded
all its stock Of liquors under orders
from the Shipping Board This was In
accordance with American law. But
when l,er captain asked for clearance
papers no was told that no could not
have them unlcss he took five gallons
of brandy on board This was In

ship clearing a British port IL required
to carry one gallon for every hundred

fronted with this necessity? Plainly

HARD PRESSED FOR ISSUES.

administration passed into history, and

may say can impair its splendid record

therefore is not pertinent in Republi-

would hesitate an instant to meet
such an issue. but that It is not one

calumny OF the Wilson administration
Asked about Republican maladminis-
