Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-12-05

brought out in a statement by Judge Edwin o.. Lewis
Of the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court to the grand
jury. Philadelphia papers quote him as saying:
1T is amazing TO appreciate the great number
Of members Of the eolored race who are charged with
crime. Apparently. 70 to 30 per cent OF persons held
in prison charged with crime are colored persons. i
believe that this is due to the indiscriminate migra-
ton from the rural sections to the large cities.
Il believe that large cities should have a right to
say who shall enter their confines; otherwise, Phila-
delphia and other large cities within the next 10 years
will not be fit to live in. Some sections Of them are
not fit to live in now"
This fear Of the constantly recurring heavy influx
Of negroes Is common to the larger cities OF the North,
including Chicago and New York. These statements
Of the Philadelphia judge may be held as supporting
claims Of the South that the negro is better treated in
this section for the reason that he is understood here.
The Manufacturers Record contrasts the situation in
the North and South as regards the negro in that many
people in the North have a sentimental regard for the
negro while ut . distance, which they lose when they
come in close personal conact with them, whereas the
people Of the South do not so regard them. And this
journal states correctly that the South understands
the negro to a far greater extent than does the North
or West and they deal far more ieniently with him
and his failings than would the people Of other Sec
tions.
The problem as regards the negro in the North
is assuming greater proportions as the negro popula-
tion in the Northern cities increases. While the South
has been criticized for a certain slowness Of progress
in improving the condition Of the negro, the North is
beginning TO realize that the South 10 working along

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-12-05

The theory Of our criminal law should be entirely
made over. At the present time our criminal law is
based partly on the theory of difference and ref
ormation. but mostly on the theory OF vengeancs. II
should be based on the theory Of the protection Of So
ciety. and practice should be made 60 conform to the
theory. Vengeance has been outgrown. II Is only q
relic of the animal or savage heritage of the human
race. Men have prasticed vengeance in the past be-
cause they were so ~brute-like. or savage, that they
could not help il. II the race is ever going to outgrow
its animal and savage past. now Is the time for 1t to do
so. Reformation is all right SO far as Il goes, but
most adult wrongdoers cannot be reformed. and in
such case something else must be tried. The theory Of
deterrence is all right theoretically, but in practice in
the past the punishments ef the criminal law have not
acted rs deterrent forces
For example. when in England piekpoeketing was
punished by capital punishment II was found that the
greatest amount Of picking pockets occurred when
people were on their ways to see the execution Of those
who had been convicted Of picking pockets. The
true theory Of the criminal law should be the protec-
ton Of society. Whatever Is necessary to protect So
ciety fron bad men should be the treatment given to
them.
II in the case Of certain criminals capital punish
ment is the best way 20 protect society. then capital
punishment should be melted cut; but investigation
would probably show that such punishment Is not the
best way to protect society, but only . social murder
which adds that much more TO the sea Of criminalty.
II certain harsh punishments protect society by acting
rs q deterrent force on the culprt and others for the
future, then such punishments should be resorted to,
but scientific study again would probably show that
such punishments tend to breed more crime than they
deter, and that there are other better methods Of de-
terrence. So far as bad men can be reformed. Of
course that would be q good way to protect society.
