why there is less crime in Eng
land than in this country.
THE reason why there were only
eighty-seven murders in England last
year against the hundred and eighty
three in Chicago alone, is because in
England the average length of time
that elapses between the commission
of a murder and the execution of the
murderer is thirty days and the per-
centage of convictions to the mur-
ders known to have been committed,
is ninety-one. That means that out
of every hundred murderers in Eng
land, ninety-one of them are tried,
convicted and executed within thirty
days.
True, that shows the people are
not in sympathy with crime or Grim
inals,' but the greatest thing it shows
is that the people are not in sympa-
thy with the technical delays of
which permits a case to drag on and
on. like I ennyson's Brook, forever
/ The trouble in this country is not
that the people are in sympathy with
crime and criminals, but that the
courts permit such delays that evil
dencp is wiped out, and the ability
to convict is weakened; that and the
fact that we are listening to too
much sophistry anent the duty of the
state to deal gently with the criminal
and are making the punishment

ton, with all that could be asked to

CLIPPED COMMENT
Roadways of the Future

The highways OF the future must
be different in many respects from
those of the past They must be
built with a different purpose in
view. When we first began building
roads, they were mainly used as ar
lteries of convenient communication
from the country to town and market
or for pleasure trips from one town
had to bear were horse drawn and
not excessive in weight There was
little demand made on them for the
transportation of heavy freight. Con-
sequently they could be made much
lighter and cheaper, and with less
attention to durability and lasting
qualities than is now necessary,
They could be made narrower, Sc
curing a greater mileage at the ex-
pense of width than is now possible.
They answered good purpose in
that early day, for they educated the
people in the possibilities and advan-
tages of good roads. They had a
good effect in killing the fierce op-
position which first existed to the
idea of building roads by taxing the
people. The farmers have found out
that good roads are for their own be-
hOOf and benefit, and not solely for |
the pleasure of wealthy automobile |
ing strangers. They facilitate the
farmers access to markets, reduce
his expenses and add to the value
Of his holdings. Now he admits
their worth and is eager for more
Of them. 1t is comparatively easy
nowadays to pass a bond issue for
good roads.
But the roads, as first built. good
enough for the times, and serving
/ useful purpose, are not such roads
Is are needed to meet present re-
luirements. With the breakdown of

Var needs and their taking over by
he government, all expenses. and
reight rates had to be increased to
meet them, even in some cases to
point. Then the shippers

GRAPEFRUIT AT MORN

They say if you eat an apple day
you keep the doctor away. But what
about the grapefruit?
AS fact it is the rAyme, the apt
ness of the thought, that has helped
make the apple famous, with all due
respect to the advertising power of
Mother Eve "A grapefruit each day
keeps the doctor away" had it been
sent trippingly from the tongue of
America, would have spelled health
and happiness throughout the nation,
and incidentally have developed a
great industry of countless value. to
our railroads, to our shipping, to our
farmers-in fact to all the people in
every section of the country.
OF course there is no rivalry be-
tween the apple and the grapefruit
Both are health giving and delicious.
One should be eaten in the morning
and the oIner at night, and So in
stead of a divided couplet, perhaps
we might suggest modest quatraln

grapefruit g a h mOrn-make

Clemenceau, the Tiger of France,
announces that grapefruit is the most
vitalizing and health giving of all
| foods, and such an endorsement,
coming from one who hos demon
strated his belief in the practical ap
plication of beneficial food theories

/ is worthy of consideration.
Millions of Americans would be
healthier and happier if they ate
grapefruit every day. Medical men
say it is the most beneficial of all
fruits.
There is a very practical side to
the pOtentiality of the grapefruit.
What the orange and the prune have
done for California, grapefruit can
do for Florida. There are tens of
thousands of acres of Florida lands
that will grow the most luscious
grapefruit in the world. If the legis-
la ure of the state would come to re-
gard advertising as of more moment
than log rolling, the demand for this
food would soon be quadrupled, idle
lands would be turned into produc-
tive groves.
Then America would have a lower
count.

AMERICAS SCIENTIFIC TRADE

Perhaps the most serious reflection
on American intelligence is the fact
that from the formation of our ma
tion to the present day we have spent
nine-tenths of our time in convincing
our own people that imported goods
are better than those of our own
manufacture.
In Great Britain and in other
countries the words home made stand
as the guarantee of excellence. With
us the mystic word imported is used
by every merchandiser in the land to
command the higher price, and no
opportunity ever is lost to convince
the customer that if real worth be
desired then the imported article
must be bought
Neither loyalty, tariff, common
sense or anything else has served tC
stem this tide of boosting for the
foreigner at the expense of the Amer
ican.
Naturally the tendency has been Il

live up or rather down to his reputa
tion and produce in many cases goods
not quite up to the standard of thos'
that come to us from foreign lands
The American can manufacture th
best quality goods in the world, n,

self the task, but in chinaware h.

den; in pottery we think of Lincoln
shire; in cutlery we dream only o
Sheffield; our linens remind us onl,
of Nottingham and Belfast
Always we are told the imported
articles ranks first. If we had beel

way to escape from the irksome
thralldom of the railways. They
found that many commodities could
be transported over reasonable DIS
tances. more cheaply and expeditions
ly by motor trucks, than they could
be by rail. Then a great demand for
trucks arose which the manufactur-
ers hastened to meet. Now they are
well established means OF trans
portation. They carry heavy LOADS
from the wholesale centers, to all
towns within a hundred mile radius,
and render a service with which the
railroads cannot compete. But they
are destructive to the light and mar
row roads which we built few years
back.
The moral is obvious. We must
build heavier and better roads than
we have in the past We must pay
more attention to foundations and
drainage. They must be built with
greater view to permanency, and be
capable of bearing up under any
traffic that may be put upon them,
We cannot long continue to place
limit on the loads which the trucks
may carry. That is to limit their
usefulness and add to the expense OF
the service. 1t is step backward
which we cannot afford to take. 1t
is playing into the hands of the rat'-
roads.
The railroads have gone through
the same experience. The first rail
road projected from Sanford south
was a poor affair with narrow gauge,
light rails and inferior equipment in
every way 1t did not last long, for
it did not meet the requirements OF a
rapidly growing country. 1t has
been long since merged into the great
Atlantic Coast Line, with standard
gauge, heavy steel rails, solid road
bed and massive locomotives capable
of handling immense loads. 1t has
kept pace with modern requirements
We must do the same in our road
building. if we would attain the most
complete success Tampa Tribune.

GREATEST SCANDAL

The greatest disgrace from which
the United States is suffering is the
prevalent spirit of murder. which the
laws and the courts are unable to
curb. The Jacksonville Times Union
and the Tampa Tribune are induleing
| in some enlightening discussions of
this great scandal, but neither one
of those able dailies appears to have
discovered a remedy. The trouble.
so far as Florida is concerned, is at
tributable to two conditions, and not
to the unwillingness of the people to
suppress murder. The first condi-
ton is the system of criminal law
governing the court trial of murder |
ers. This system is based on the
old common law of England, which
has been discarded by England and
other European countries in favor
of what is known as the code system.
Virginia seems to be the only state T.
in the union which has adopted the
code system, and the result is seen in
the fact that it is very seldom that a
murderer in that state escapes exc
cution. The common law, in it's ap-
plication to criminals, is based on the
old Blackstonian doctrine, 1T is bet
ter that ninety-nine guilty persons
should escape than that one innocent
person should suffer" 1t should be
revised to read, 1T is better that one
| innocent person should suffer than
/ that nine murderers should escape"
If any one wishes to see and appre-
cate the utter foolishness of an in
dictment for murder under Floridas s
criminal law, which, as stated, is bas-
ed upon the old common law. let him

der the indictment as prescribed, it is

The second condition alluded to
, above is the responsibility of the
: lawyers of the state. They should
be required to subscribe to an oath
that they will do all in their power
, to assist the courts in the admins
, tratIOn of justice, that they will not
