LACK OF RELIGION
IS CAUSE OF CRIME
SAYS U. PROFESSOR

Madison, Feb. 1.-R--Our gov
eminent is a government by green
horns due to our political SYSTEM and
oud feverish and dissatisfied demo-
cracy, our lack of reverence and re-
ligion is the cause of crime, said
Judge Andrew A. Bruce of North
western University law school before
the noon day club of Madison today.
"The curse Of the American admin
istration of the criminal law is our
system of politics, our sp0ils, sys-
TEN, the fact that the underworld has
vote as we'll as the upper woi,d,
and above all the short tenure of Of
flee of all our public officials" he
declared.
"Our government to a large ex-
tent, is government by greenhorns.
Our frequent elections, and the me-
nessity of begging for votes, make
our politically elected and controlled
police officers and magistrates UNI
willing to enforce the law and they
are looked upon as servants and in
fcriors and not as the agents Of a
superior government.
All Are Parties TO I.awlessness
Our boys and girls grow up in an
atmosphere of license and all of US
are parties to the lawlessncss that
is among us-wc are willing to pro-
sccutc the tramp or stranger, but we
reed the business, friendship or po-
litical support of our ncghbOrs. We
talk about the virtue Of obedience to
the law and at the same time patro-
nizc our rRivatc bootleggers."
Reforms should be made in the
criminal law, he believed, but the
trouble was due to our lack Of, rcli-
gion and reverence! to our cosmopO-
Titan citizenship, to the unavoidable
friction of diverse races, to the
breaking down of the home; ia the
fact that we import and use more
narcotic drugs than any other ma
ton, and to our fevcrish and dissat-
isficd democracy
