the constant efforts OF the company
TO improve their service, which. he
said. was the only thing that the
company had 10 sell. This phase
OF the telephone business. he de.
clared, was paramount In the minds
OF everyone engaged in the business,

CURLING Crime

Crime, despite precautions ordinary and extraordinary,
is increasing. Police all over the country make the statement
and statistics prove 1t. The police systems in some of the larg.
est cities seem helpless to curb crime waves which occur at
too frequent intervals. From every quarter come accounts of
holdups, werd murders, juvenile delinquency and crimes of a
degenerate nature. Revolving affairs they are, with a wealth of
sordid detail which points two morals-onc, that the fathers
and mothers of today are Slipping up on their job, and the
other that some better method of police protection must be de-
Yised.
The plan advanced by Commissioner Enright of New York
CITY that every citizen should be required TO carry his finger
print and Identification card at all times does not fill the bill.
First 1t wouldn't prevent crime because it would work just as
many firearm statutes work; that is, the crook doesn't worry
about II. He breaks the law anyway and if be wants to carry
a gun he will in spite of all the statutes.
No, the plan of Commissioner Enright would hardly set
right with law abiding citizens. Constant police surveillance
would not have a very pleasant reception from the average
citizen of this country.
In ~. Louis. however, a man has worked out a way to slim.
ulate police activity in a rather novel, and perhaps effective
way. He has offered the sum of 800 to every policeman who
shoots and captures a bandit and the sum of $500 to every pa.
trolman who kills a robbcr, He believes the incentive OF the
money reward will bring an increased vigilance and fearless.
ness on the part of the police.
This plan may work out we'll. Time alone will tell. But
what is really needed is n nationwide police system, based ON
an entirely new idea. differed by the biggest men in the bust.
ness and adequately paid.

Motorist Sued by Railroad

Here is the other side of it: a motorist who drove his car
onto n Southern Pacific track in California, and went to sleep.
succeeded in damaging a locomotive; and the company sued
him for the repair costs.
Why not? Just because the railroad corporation is big
II loses no rights to decent protection. 1t is a public necessity,
that must he maintained. 1t has its rigbtofway, and no turn.
outs; its trains must make regular schedules as provided by
law. The notorst has no more right rccklessly or maliciousIy
10 impose costs upon the million dollar security holders, than
he has TO steal from the blind apple woman; nor has he the
right TO go unscathcd after causing a railroad wreck that kills
railroad passengers. This suit along a new line of thought may
establish n precedent for automobile responsibility that will
directly affect the $1,000 automobile killings every year.
