AUTOS. AiRPLANes & CRIMINALS

10 commenting on the II per
cent increase in the number of
indictable offenses committed in
England in a single year, the
London Morning Post said:
Ut is disconcerting to find that
the main increase has been in
the category of offenses against
the person The nation
is becoming less instead of more
la wabiding and the character of
offenses committed is more ra.
ther than less serious"
Commenting on the English
situation, tee Times Picayune of
New Orleans says:
THE growth of crimes of vic
lence. the very type that our
modern civilization by all rights
should tend to lessen," is not
explained. "Over there as here
at home the payroll robbery is
conspicuous as is the personal
hold-up and the getaway in the
stolen AUTOMOBILES"
The automobile as q quick
means of transportation has
greatly aided the criminal.
Crime reform movements bas-
ed on a program to prevent the
manufacture and sale of small
arms on the theory that this
would disarm the criminal, at
the expense of all law-abiding
citizens and an important branch
of national defense, is on a par
with law to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of automobiles
on the theory that that would
prevent criminals escaping from
the scene of their crime.
The next 10 years will see the
apprehension of criminals made
more difficult by the fact that
they will be using airplanes in.
stead of automobiles and instead
of merely crossing state lines.
they will be crossing interna.
tional boundaries. Yet that is
no reason for prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of air.
planes. thus crippling another
most important branch of ma.
tional defense.
Whatever additional legisla
ton may be necessary to curb
crime, it should be aimed at the
criminal and not against the
honest citizen. Manufacturer.

Instead of using q revolving

is connected to an individual

Electricity from the electric
plant sensitizes the magnet which
picks up bits of metal from the

BUNK IN HISTORY BOOKS

BUNK IN HISTORY BOOKS
An eastern editorial writerihas
the following to say about the
war with Mexico some IS years
ago:
A brief news item in the
daily papers the other day brings
up one of the most perplexing
riddles of that kind in American
history.
This item told of the death of
William Buckner, who died in
Missouri at the age of 101 and
who was one Of the two remain
ing survivors of the war with
Mexico.
1t calls to mind an episode
out of a past that seems incredi
bly, remote. The men who fought
in the Mexican War were gray.
bearded veterans when the Civil
War came around. Grant, Lee,
Mcclellan, Jackson-they were
stripping lieutenants in '48; like
the rest of the army, they wore
the queer, romantic-looking uni
forms that the West Point ca
diets wear today, used wheezy
old muzzle-loading muskets and
endured a campaign ia the @tFo
pics swathed in stiff collars and
high leather helmets. unbeara
bly, hot.
1T is perplexing enough. or.
dinarily, to figure out the rights
or wrongs of any war; but this
war with Mexico is the toughest
problem of the lot.
"On the face of it. it was a
supremely unjust and wicked
war.
"A relatively large and strong
nation-the United States-at.
tackled a small and weak nation,
Mexico, after trumping up a
very thin excuse, for the avowed
! purpose OF grabbing some terri
tory. Might made right; Mex
leo ceded California. New Mex
leo and Arizona, and abandoned
it's tenuous claim to, Texas.
"On the face of it, it was q
piece of villainy; and the history
books that tell US we ought to
be ashamed of our record are,
doubtless. correct.
"And yet.... would any mar,
undo it, and put California, Tex
as, New Mexico and Arizona
back under the Mexican flag?
Millions of progressive, educated
and prosperous men and women
live in those states today; does
anyone dream of suggesting that
the same would be true if those
states had always remained in
Mexico?
$50 there you have your prob.
lem. The war was wrong. by
every standard you can apply
and yet it worked out as if it had
been right. Surely it is not go.
ing too far to say that all OF
North America is better off to
day than it would be if the war
had not been fought. So what's
the answer?
History is full of incidents
like that. Justice, in some strange
way, does seem. at times, to
grow out of injustice. And it is
almost beyond our power TO hg
ure it out"
There is a lot of bunk written
in history books. The best
known history of the war with
Mexico. and the history that is
taken as the standard by other
writer's, was written by hack
writer of Spanish lineage who
had an anti United States com
plex, and therefore put this
country in the worst possible
light in the chapters be wrote
on the war. If any one believes
that the war with Mexico was a
national disgrace be might bave
his beliefs shattered if be read

I DEAD VICTIMS
OF LANDLORDISM
Gas Heat Danger For
New York Workers

In cheap flat of moldy old
house at Tenth st. and First Ave-, a
family of seven was found dead yes
terday as result Of the habit New
York landlords have, of furnishing
no other heat but Illuminating gas
for flats and furnished rooms where
the poor live.
Joseph Rindone, 37-year-old Ital-
ian immigrant laborer; his wife,
Mary; with five children, Minnie, IT;
Ada, Is; Joseph, 16; Harry, 7, and
Gloria, a, were the victims. Two
boys escaped. One, who was visit

Poison Gas for Heat.
The tenement is so old and unsani-
tary that even for lower East Side
poor it was unattractive. Only one
other apartment than the Rindone's
is occupied.
In the bitter cold, the family had
been using a small gas heater and
the kitchen gas stove to keep from
freezing. There was no other heating
arrangement, a typical New York
custom of landlords in the working
class districts. But it was not from
the gas fumes that they died, as many
do, when the gas for one reason or
another goes out and asphyxiates
those who may be asleep.
TIL efamily was awake, apparently
busy dressing, and the gas was not
only on, but burning, even when the
police broke in the door when 6
