CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Severity of penalties does not check crime. It
may even increase crime.
So New York has discovered and United
States District Attorney Joab A. Banton has re-
ported to the Bar Association.
In the face of too severe penalties juries will
not convict. Fifteen years for second oense; life
term for third. Nothing doing. More often than
not the criminal goes free.
So the district attorney recommends the repeal
OF the so-called Baumes laws, which sought to put
an end to short term6s quick releases and the spec
tacIe of habitua criminals habituay committing new
crimes.
1t sounds we'll. 1t always did sound well. IN
crease the penalties" say the friends Of law and
order make the penalties amount to something.
Stop sappng the criminal on the wrist Stop cod
ding him. Hang him or send him up for life and
let society be rid of him."
And the laws are amended accordingly
But what are the results? professional bonds
man who has made himself responsible for a lot of
petty criminals is told that his clients are planning
to forfeit their bonds rather than face the possibility
OF life sentences. He concludes that he must sur
render the subjects of the bonds. Who, being threat
ened with surrender, have couple Of gunners
bump off (assassnate) the bondsman>
Again jury finds that first offender who
has really not been very bad offender had little
difficulty when he mere boy and is technically
a second offender. 1t must send him up for fifteen
years OF let him go. They find him mot guilty"
Clarence Darrow could have told the authors
OF the Baumes laws that they on the wrong
track. 1t mas long been of his conclusions that
too great severity of penalty puts premium on
certain crimes of violence If the penalty for stealing
is made the same as the penalty for assault with
murderous weapon, the thief WILL if interrupted, add
assault with murderous weapon to his stealing in
the hope that he may destroy witness and open
his path of escape.
In the seventeenth century ancestors got il
ritated at invasons of property rights and made
sheep stealing punishable by hanging. The result
the system of trial by jury and all the techni
calities of criminal practice which built up to
protect the accused against the cruel and unusual
punishments of the law.
What then is the remedy for crime? Make the
punishments lighter?
Make them more prompt and certain. A writer
in the Atlantic Monthly points out that in ten
criminals is convicted. The courts are clogged the
jails crowded and the laws delays unspeakably
tedious. If justice little swift and sure
the business of crime would be less thriving.
To make the punishment fit the crime the
object all sublime of muchoved character of high
opera. To make the punishment fit the criminal
and that the fitting should not be too long post
poned would be advice in handling cle difficult
problem of increasing crime.

THE BROWNING CASE

There is a good deal of talk about the propriety
Of publishing the details of the proceedings at White

in this particular instance.
Suppressing details of such ugly stories usually
is done with the purpose of keeping them from young
people, especially young girls. Here, however, is

tails in order to drive home a lesson 1t is lesson

Unpopular Kellogg

Secretary Kellogg's bumptious
policy toward Latin-America is not
popular with the Senate.
This was made clear when the
Robinson resolution, advising arbi
tration with Mexico, was\passed by
a unanimous vote.
There is little doubt that the Sen
ate's attitude reflects public opinion
The people of this country want
no trouble with Latin-America that
can possibly be avoided.
They are especially opposed tc
trouble originating in the desire OF
vested interests to entrench them
selves in countries which they have
exploited out of all reason.
The suspicion prevails that the
basic human rights have not been
trampled on as much as some would
like to make it appear, and that the
hue and cry has far more to dc
with the secondary rights of com
mercial enterprises, which, legiti.
mate though they may be, smell
strongly of special privilege.
