WRATH OF THE PUBLIC

The American people are so easy
going that they tolerate wrongs that
ought to be suppressed. Once in a
while when they become thoroughly
reused, they hit back in a most vio-
lent way at the people who take ad-
vantage of their good nature. 1t is
too bad that these revolts against
evils are so jerky and spasmodic
For instance, they have recently
been stirred to a high pitch of
wrath by an outrage committed in
New York City, when bullets from a
gangster automobile fatally shot
one child and wounded four others.
Blazing with anger, the people call
for the wiping out of the gunmen
who commit such cruel deeds. All
this show of wrath is fine, but it is
a pity that it does not work more
consistently.
Gangsters and gunmen will not be
Put down by sudden explosions of
popular anger They are the out
growth of certain habits of the
American peole, their indifference
to political corruption, their failure
to take an interest in government,
their absorption in their own selfish
interests.
To put down the outrages of gum
men and bandits, police forces need
to be divorced from politics and the
power of political pulls will have to
be abolished or much reduced. When
offenders escape because they have
influence with some politician, con-
ditions are created that encourage
crime! Fl
According to the Wickersham
commission, and many eminent legal
authorities, there need to be many |
changes in laws and legal proceed |
ure to facilitate the trial and con-
viction of criminals. The speed and |
certainty of justice vary greatly in
different states and cities, but there
are many localities where it is far
too easy for a criminal to escape
justice. But the average run of |
people do not get interested in such
a question. Sudden outbursts of
popular wrath will not put down
crime. It needs an organized move
ment with steady pressure from in
fiuential people and organizations,
to bring about the needed action.
