Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 30.-Stone
cutters wage rates in IL towns, pub
lished in the Stone Cutters Journel,
the official organ of the Journeymen

men.
Stone cutters wares run from rs
cents to $1.25, with but six towns out
of the Isl having a rate less than 81.
Montreal and st. Marc, Canada, tail
the list at rs cents an hour.

Leneney born of sentimentalism is
the foundation of more lawlessness
perhaps than any other flaw in
American life. ether countries are
not so sentimental with law-breakers
and therefore not so lenient. The law
breaker in Canada is dealt with
severely and without mincing mat
tiers. Across the border in Ameri-
can cities crime runs rampant, no life
is safe, no property is respected. We
enforce no law except in haphazard
way.
The reason is that we are too mushy
with law breakers, so mushy that we
are called sentimental by other self
respecting nations. That is not the
real iron character in the American
constitution. 1t is merely the surface.
But it caused us to be pointed out

Friday night Motorcycle Patrolman
Jack ID. Hillyer shot and killed Phillip
Sharp, resident of Urbana and fresh
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1923-11-02

The death Of Phillip Sharp is to be
deplored. The fact that he permitted
himself to be placed in a compromis-
ing situation with respect to the law
Is to be deplored. The fact that
through our sentimental treatment Of
petty offenders he may have had rea-
son to believe that his offense would
be treated with tolerance by the Off
Ger is another thing to be deplored.
The fact makes the state in meas
ure responsible for his death. We
should have been alert to punish crime
determinedly, severely and adequate
ly. We should have supported the
officers who in years past have been
elected to enforce the law. Then the
young man would not have thought to
escape a bullet in his attempt to evade
arrest. He would have expected the
officer to shoot. Officers do not shoot
because they do not enjoy standing
trial before a sentimental public who
is always willing to try the officer in
stead of the offender.
The Review agrees with the 1llini
that it is a shame for a man to die
for the theft of an auto cushion. But
young Sharp did not die for that. He
died in an effort to save his name
from the stigma he knew would attach
to it if he had been caught instead
of shot. 1t would have meant open
disgrace to have been caught in the
act of pilfering from a car not his
own. 1t would probably have meant
expulsion from the University. Ger
tainly it would have meant public
criticism in the newspapers, and dis
grace for his family. To avoid this
is why he died.
We hold crime up to the gaze of an
outraged public until we reach the
penalty, then we want the penalty re-
voked. When the trial is set we are
all against the officers. We are senti-
mental to the point of foolishness and
we are suffering for it through more
and mere crime. The condition will
not be improved by criticism of public
officials, or alleviated by sentiment
tai tears that contain more glycerin
than anguish.

man in the University. Testimony at
The inquest Monday Indicated that
Sharp had been equipping his Ford
automobile with accessories which ne
bad stolen from other automobiles
parked in The vicinity Of Church and
Randolph streets.
Prior to the night Of the killing
Sharp appear. to have been held in
high esteem by his classmates In the
University. many Of whom were ap-
parendy unwilling to eoncede the
Officers right 10 shoot under such
circumstances.
Young Alexander Schulz, son Of a
University professor, was implicated
II the theft Of the auto accessories
BY the testimony Of Hillyer who stat
ed that Sharp and Schulz were togeth-
er and that the latter escaped in the
automobile. Schulz was held under a
bond Of $1,000 ON a charge of larceny.
Indications are that he will fight the
charge.
Criticism Of Hilyer and those who
appointed him to the position were
current following the shooting. Gen
orally the criticism was based upon
The assumption that an officer has no
right or should have no right to shoot
a man who can be charged only with
iarceny-that it is preferable to let
an offender escape and trust to arrest
aim sometime in the future, than to
shoot to kill under such circumstances.
Those who endorse Hillyer's act,
while deploring the death Of young
Sharp, believe that law violations
have grown TO such proportions as to
demand drastic action on the part of
officials 1t is pointed out that a few
nights prior to the shooting of Sharp
two youthful bandits held up the
colored porter Of Nelson's garage,
forced him at the point of a revolver
to drive them to a safe distance from
the business district, robbed him and
threw him from the car, drove the
car to a village near Dixon, ILL.,, held
up the employees of a bank and es-
capped with $4,000, abandoning the car
at Aurora where it was afterwards
identified as the car stolen at Mel
sons garage.
1t is further pointed out that most
of the crimes committed in Cham
paign are the crimes of youthful gun
men and thieves who appear to have
no conception of the gravity of their
offenses, who carry concealed weapons
with. impunity, and who have no re-
gard whatever for the value of human
life.

Last Sunday in the First Methodist
church of Champaign, Rev. Walter B.
Foley of Chicago, said the nations
would be saved by the young people.
He said they are revolutionizing
Japan, China, India and Europe. He
talks like a crusader of the tenth
century and one is inclined to believe
what he says. Perhaps the young
people who are moving forward to
better things will be able to control
those of their number who are pull
ing in the wrong direction. 1t would
be worth a trial at least. If young
people cannot be influenced by older
ones to do the right thing perhaps
the more conscientious of their own
number will demand of them more
perfect standard.

Police are having more trouble with
youthful criminals than with any
other class of offenders. Recently a
young printer, less than twenty-five
years old, was arrested BY Cham
paign detectives and five suit cases
of loot were found in his apartment.
In his company prior to his arrest
were seen two youths who apparently
were not of age. They are suspect
ed of having been his confederates,
Since his arrest they have vanished,
Recently two young men under Il
forced a colored porter at Nelson's
garage to drive them to a safe dis
lance from the business district Of
Champaign, robbed him and threw
him from the car and then proceeded
to drive to a small Illinois village
near Dixon, hold up a bank cashier
and clerks and rob the safe of $4,000
in cash. These men are bandits, yet
they are mere boys.

Officer Hillyer had the right 10 ex-
pect the public a. well as his superior
officers to stand back Of him in his
effort to strike an effective blow at
the lawlessness that is rampant in
the Twin Cities. The thinking public
has stood back Of him. The senti-
mental public has not, but has made
him the victim Of petty slurs that
should never have been spoken and
would not be spoken under any cir
cumstances by red-blooded men.
Hilyer has the making Of a good
officer If the community stands back
Of him this city or some other
American city will have a man who
can with others of his ealiber cope
with the lawlessness that today
singles America out as an object of
rdicule by all self-respecting eoun-
tries.
