THE CRIME WAVE

This country has been facing
an era Of lawlessness since the
war that is practically without
parallel in its history. Whether
due to an aftermath of the war
or to prohibition or some other
cause, is a matter of conjecture.
This county for the past sever
al months apparently has been
caught in this wave Of crime
which should be stamped out if
it is possible to do so, and we be-
lieve it can be done. The most
effective way to do this, as we
see it, is not only through
vigiant activity BY ofie ais
charged with the enforcement Of
the law, but cooperation by the
citizens OF the county with the
officials in bringing to the la5-
ter's notice violations Of the law
existing in the various sections
of the county.
The citizens of the county can
aid much in breaking up viola
tions OF the law by bringing the
facts in their communities to the
attention OF the grand jury. The
grand jury is the medium
through which citizens OF the
county can always bring perpe-
traitors of crime to justice.
We believe that much of the
crime committed in this county
i due to violation of the local
prohibition law and the Volstead
act The citizens do rot have to
wait for action of the govern.
lnent officials to ferret out and
punish violators of the liquor
laws. Our local option law can
be applied in these cases. While
strict responsibility rests upon
the officers to strictly enforce
all our criminal laws, there also
is a responsibility resting upon
the citizens of the county to aid
in their enforcement, and as
stated above, the medium foI
their aid is given through the
grand jury. We are not seeking
to excuse and do not excuse any
official who may be derelict in
his duty, if any are, but we want
to impress upon the people the
fact that whether an officicial is
derelict or not, there is a way
open for every one with knowl.
edge Of violation Of any law tc
seek a remedy and put stop tc
1t.
There are said to be fragrant
violations of these laws at public
entertainments Jf this be true,
then better safeguards must be
thrown around these entertain
ments and thereby preserve the
morals of our young. The NOR
ais OF our young people must be
protected and preserved if this
county is to remain true to its
past traditions.
The crime wave in this county
is not all traceable to violations
OF the liquor law. 1t is due to
other reasons which are unex-
plainable. The recent robbery
at Waldorf was the act Of per
sons criminally bent.
1t is to be hoped that the fu
ture welfare of our people will
be made much safer and better,
and we believe it can and will be
done through strict enforcement
Of the law by vigilance o. the
part OF the officials and cooper
alton on the part of the people.

TEN MILLIONS IN
TURF PURSES
THIS YEAR
Amazing Growth Of Racing
Game Since 1905 Is Shown
In Figures.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Purse
distributions by race track owners
in North America will exceed the
unprecedented total of $4,000, 900
in 1928.
The existing record is $9,096,2 15
made in 1929. OF that sum the
tracks in the United States paid
over $6,000,000 to winning horse
owners. The Canadian tracks paid
out beyond $1,750,000 and the rest
of it was made up by purses do
mated in Cuba and in Mexico.
The amazing growth in the mat
ter of purse distributions is shown
in comparative figures. In 1905,
which was considered by many as
the golden age of racing" the
total money paid out was $5,601 ,557
That remained a record until 1920
when the figures went to $7,773,4
In 1921 they jumped close to $780,
600.
The ebb year in racing was in
1911 when the horses were not
active in New York State and the
total paid out in North America
was only $2,337,957.
