DO you BELIEVE IN MURDER?

This is a police byword in various
parts of the country today: "Oh,
sister, stop sobbing for the criminal;
sob for his victim"
If there is anything which tends to
break down the morale of all our law
enforcement agencies, it is to find
that punishment is interfered with
by lot of professors, social workers,
amateur philosophers, ladiesl SYM
pathy circles and rescue leagues.
Love-, said one of these bearded
gentlemen, who ANONYMOUSLY are not
only friends of criminals but friends
of crime-"love and not fear will
dominate the world"
cit may be so," replied. "But for
an immediate deterrent of crime
there is nothing like The fear of pun
ishment. And unfortunately we
must act not in 1925 A. D., but to.
day. Given a fixed amount of criminal
tendency in any country or COM
munity, memorable swift punishment
and nothing else will determine the
amount of lawbreaking and will es-
tablish the authority of the state.
And it is not Your love of the GRIMM
al which interests US; it is whether
he has love enough for you and mo
not to leave us in pool of our preci-
Gus living blood"
This concern for the criminal
rather than concern for the society
he has defed, the clamor for saving
him rather than for the preservation
of law enforcement. the emphasis up

on the tragedy Of the criminals fate
rather than upon the fate of the Vie
tim and the authority of law, has be-
come an example of grotesque soft
thinking.
When only one out of q hundred
killers is paying the death penalty
punishment is brutal hardly appears
Baum. manager of the American
siders that anyone who is asked if he
believes in capital punishment may
answer, Maybe l do; when does 1t
begin?"
The wailing about young men who
are serving time and the tears for
those. who pay the death penalty are
prevention. 1t is less pertinent to
ask, "Do you believe in capital pun
ishment 2" than to ask, "Do you be-
heve in murder?"
1t is useful to ask whether we be-
lieve crimes of violence should be
punished, because that question act
ually has risen. 1t is less useful to
ask whether we believe criminals who
have steam yachts. Herbert S. Had
ley, former prosecutor and governor
of Missouri and the plain-speaking
member of the American Bar As
sociation's committee to report on
defects in the administration of JUS
tice, says:
ut is my judgment that of those
committing major crimes, such as
homicide, burglary, robbery, assault
and the like, not one out of every five
is adequately punished"
