 eF@IM9K

Have you ever stopped to think what Culbransen means to the home where there are children?
 Children are initiative. Draw a picture for them and they try to duplicate it Tell them something and they will repeat it. It is their nature.
 And so you will find them trying to play by hand the pieces they hear on the Cul. bransen. A good class of music that would otherwise be way out of their reach is thus brought within their range.
 If you want your children to have the advantages that an understanding of music gives them, remember no instrument you could place in your home has greater educa- donal possibilities than the Culbransen.
 Give them the benefits that the children of your friends and neighbors have.
 A Culbransen will take the work and monotony out of their music study.

ing in the election of school sup
erintendent in Americas?
Doubtless that suggestion would
appear quite crude to Arthur.
"No, the fair minded and justice
loving and law observing people Of
Americas do not wish the privilege
of helping to select or elect the
Americas school superintendent.
"Nor do they appreciate the priv
ilege of the primary extended to
them by the very accommodating exc
cutive committee.
"Down in their just souls they
resent your action and quite likely
many of them will throw back your
unsolicited privilege and repudiare
your crude solicitude.
Again, Arthur contends that
since the boundaries of the Amer
icus school district do not coincide
with the boundaries of the 9th
voting district, therefore there is
no way of separating the county
vote herein from the city vote here
in.
Gas if two sets of ballots could
not be prepared, one free of the

than the illogical arguments pre-
Sented by Arthur to be accepted and

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON

1t may be well to keep in mind
the fact that LaFollette. backed by
the railroad employees of the coun-
try. Is striving for government own
ership of the railroads. 1t also will
be recalled that McAdoo favors
government ownership of the rail-
roads. He has talked with Mr..
Davis. and after doing so has de-
cided to support the ticket. Has he
received any assurance from the
candidates favorable to his pet
measure?
While keeping these facts in mind
it will be proper to make few COM
parsons. Here are some pertaining
to government management of the
railroads:
1.-THE average number of hours
worked by each employee in the year
1928 was 1854 compared with 1929
in 1919. a year of Government opera
ton. These are /. C. c.. figures.
1.-THE freight business handled
by the railroads in 1928 was Is per
cent larger than that ofa1919.
1.-THE average number of employees
in 1928 was 1,s57,713, or $500 less
than in 1919.
I'm other words, In 1923, year
OF private operation, compared with
1919, a year of government opera
ton. the railroads handled a larger
traffic with fewer employees who
worked lesser number of hours"

Crime And The Courts

(New York Times)
There still exists" said eXGoV-
ernor Whitman in an address to the
American Bar Association. "a lack of
vigorous enforcement of the Grim
"inal laws" This was putting the
case mildly. Mr.. Whitman admitted
that in every 10000 of the popula-
ton the number of criminals is in
creasing. Yet there are more re-
formers in the country than ever,
social welfare is the concern of more
good men and women, and "commun-
ity service" is all the fashion. Mr..
Whitman reminded his audience that,
whereas the number of murders in
New York City was $50 in 1921, there
were only 63 murders in England
and Wales, with seven times the
population Of this city. Mr.. Casper
II. Yost told the Bar Association
that approximately 10000 murders
were committed in the United States
in 1923. fifty times as many as oc-
Cured in England and Wales. Speak
ing of defective justice" he said:
In the United States life and prop
erty are less secure from criminal
violence than in any other country
on the globe that is not in a state OF
barbarism."
This was not a loose statement.
Crime" said Mr.. Yost. lis dis
gracefully prevalent in the United
States because the administration of
justice is not sound, because. in fact,
it not only permits but encourages
crime" To an unobservant Amer
lean this seems like a gross libel on
his country, but Chief Justice Nc
Adoo asserts that "our criminal law
and procedure throughout the United
States are in some respects a tragic
farce" He tells how criminals. great
and small, keep out of Jail: by ''in-
Vulnerable motions and counter-mo-
tions in the courts, State and Fed
eral; reviews, reversals, technical
subtleties, disputes about interpreta-
tion of the law" What is to be done
about it? Ex-Governor whitman re-
commends a permanent commission
to formulate a standard code of
criminal procedure for all the States.
Is enforcement of the criminal
laws the only thing to be considered?
