The Effect of The Fix

their complete freedom despite the fact that any scnool
child can enumerate their crimes by the dozen. II misnt
pay you to consider a recent article IN the Nauon ~
Lawrence Howe.
Mi. Howe was a detective sergeant IN chicago lor TWO
decades. and consequently speaks with the authority OF
long experience. Pointing out that Chicago has 100 times
as MANY robberies annually as London. and IL times as
MANY as all Of Canada, he proceeds to answer the CUES
ton, "How Gomez"
To begin with, he points out that Chicagos geograpn-
ical location, her pre-erninence as q railroad center. ner
proximity to state boundaries and the nearness OF nail q
dozen state prisons condemn her. inevitably, to more
than her share of crooks. But that isn't all OF 1t. He
goes on to repeat what he once told a candidate Tor may

cago Of criminals.
81 assured hin, ," he writes. that If I were permitted to
pick Is detectives, trustworthy and competent Officers
who knew the underworld, and had charge of their activ-
tiles. I would undertake to rid Chicago Of all professional
crooks in 60 days, provided the mayor would carry out
his part of the program. His part would be to see that
when we made an arrest and presented sufficient. reN-
able, conclusive evidence to prove the man guilty, there
would be no fixing of the case. A conviction must fol-
low.
THE Judges, states attorneys, court clerks and roht-
clans must not be allowed to be bought by the accused IN
an effort to thwart justice. They must be invulneraole
to all approaches, whether Of bribery, politics or friend

utility of attempting such a drastic reform"
It is that final sentence that sticks In ones memory.

Il this were Chicagos hard luck alone 1t would not be

Analvzinp Crime

~ AA
On September /, the first governmental bureau for the
compilation of statistics on law violations began to func-
ton.
The bureau, according to the Department Of Justice,
does not represent a new idea. It has long been advo-
Gated and has been tried in a smaller way by various
police associations, but with little success due to lack
of cooperation between states. Its operation by the Fed
eral government will make it possible to analyze crime
statistics in this country and throughout the world.
Such a bureau may prove to be Of inestimable value
in the fight against crime. In the past we have gone
blindly forward without sufficient knowledge on which
to base conclusions. It is generally recognized that
scientific knowledge is necessary to society II 1t Is to
achieve the utmost In efficiency in experimenting and
convicting criminals.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the path Of crime
suppression has been the crime reformers themselves
with their incessant efforts to burden the American peo-
pie with more restrictive laws. It is to be hoped that
these well meaning zealots will learn from indisputable
facts that crime has increased in direct ratio to the In
crease In the volume Of legislation.

Encouraging Signs

There Is one bright ray Of hope that has been generally
overlooked in all the ~pessimistic discussion of the bust
ness depression. The cost Of living is now six per cent
lower than 1t was last year at this time and is at the
lowest point since 1918. In other words, general wages
could have dropped more than five per cent without af-
fecting the buying power Of the worker.
Also. 1t has been brought out by a number Of experts
that the employment trend, which was downward for
close to q year. has taken an upward turn. The coming

Why a Surplus Of Teachers?
(MinneapOlis JournaD

NNAAAulCopOAS
Every parent with a child In the public schools ought
to be interested In a survey under way by the office Of
education In the department Of the interior. It Is q
study Of teacher training, worked out by men high In
the world Of education, among them Dean Haggerty OF
the University Of Minnesota. The study Is broad In
scope. as Is indicated by its examination into the teacher
supply.
The federal officials have found that, instead of q
teacher shortage, there Is q large teacher surplus. A
statement Of the office Of education sets forth the
change:
The teacher shortage OF a few years ago no
longer exists in any Of our states. On the con-
trary. many Of the states have recently found
themselves In the novel predicament Of having
many well trained teachers unemployed. Most Of
the larger cities have thousands Of teachers either
unemployed or working In some other field and
waiting q chance to get q teacher position.
Teachers, school administrator, those who pre-
pare teachers, school patrons and taxpayers are
all asking what has brought about this over
supply. It was considered particularly neces-
sary that those who are responsible for forming
|. policies for the education Of teachers should
have facts upon which to base those policies,
instead q the unsupported opinions. which are
often colored by the apparently urgent need for
designed to correct the oversupply Of teachersA
have given but temporary relief and have some-
times even aggravated the causes.
Hence the survey by federal agencies. It Is as mucl
an undertaking by the teachers themselves, as BY tn
government. for 1t Is prompted by tho principal educa
ton organizations. The aim Is to improve the servc
given by teachers; but 1t can not Fail to supply data OF
which the public outside the teachers group will be abb
to act, in the interests Of the public schools and Il
furtherance, as well, Of the interests OF good teachtn
Ind good teachers.

FORT CONSIDERS
RACEFOR SENATE
No Decision Yet Reached,
Jersey Legislator Says,
in Statement.

Representative Fort of New Jersey.
one of President Hoover's strongest sup
porters in the House, said yesterday he
had considered entering the campaign
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton, but had reached no decision.
Ambassador Morrow, also close to
Mr.. Hoover, Is q candidate, as is for
mer Senator Frelinghuysen. The lat
ter has come out as wet, while the
Morrow position on prohibition remains
to be stated.
In a brief statement, Fort said he
had been surprised by published reports
that he might run, and added:
1T has only this much basis: sin
cerely believe that the future Of pro-
hibition rests In straightout discussion
and balancing of its merits and defects,
and on a searching analysis Of all pro-
posed alternatives
Some friends who know Of my con-
viction that on balance, prohibition Is
preferable to any alternative yet sug-
gested, feel that should become o can
didate to prevent the issue from going
by default In New Jersey. I have
reached no decision"
Fort indicated he would make o def
mite announcement within a few days.
The closing date for filing petitions for
the primary Is May 10. The primary
election Is June II.
