PUBLICITY FOR CRIMINALS

Governor Ely of Massachusetts, has sent to the
state legislature list of Bostons public enemies
which was compiled by the Boston police depart
ment. There are 20 names the list and accom-
panying each name is short record of the GRIM
inaPs career. Two of them have been killed since
the list compiled but all the records show long
careers of crime and few punishments for the
crimes committed.
If the document proves anything it is that there
is something to be condemned in the handling of
crimes and criminals in the city of Boston, 1t may
be the courts, the police and other peace officers
the pardoning board or executive clemency. All
may share in the responsibility And what is said
of Boston may be said of every other city, large
and small, in the United States
Just what Governor Ely expects the legislature
to do with the report is not made plain in the
stories In Boston papers, but the plan of publicity
seems to be one of merit. If the police department
of every city would prepare such list of public
enemies and transmit it to the governor of the
state who would in turn send it on to the legisla-
ture the effect might be wholesome. The governor
might be convinced that too free use of the par
doning power encourages crime; the legislature
might be impelled to investigate the criminal laws
and stop the loophoes for escape of criminals; the
police department would gain the confidence of
the public; the people would know the miserable
creatures that prey upon them, and the criminals,
dreading the sunlight of publicity might feel re-
straiat which at present is unknown to them-Tho

LIQUOR REVENUE IN CANADA

There has been much said about the revenue
which may be derived from the sale of liquor. The
Free Methodist has the following statements con-
corning Canadas success in dealing with the liquor
traffic:
To collect S35274, 39O~ liquor revenue, in 10
years there was expended in British Columbia
$139, ,7S8
To collect $14,S72, 191 liquor revenue, in seven
years there was expended in Alberta $S4,315,10
To collect $13,55s6S3 liquor revenue, in six
years there was expended in Saskatchewan $685.
445, 139.
To collect S12,26O,251 liquor revenue, in eight
years there was expended in Manitoba $57,487,-
OS7
To collect $43, ,458 liquor revenue, in four
years and five months, there expended in On
tario $235, 575,32O.
To collect $6S,O32,472 liquor revenue, in ten
years there was expended in Quebec $3.50 ,944 914.
To collect $5,329,7SS liquor revenue in four
years there was expended in New Brunswick $16,-
666,s44.
To collect $774,358 liquor revenue, in little
over one year there was expended in Nova Scotia,
S5,6O2,S23
This shows how liquor for revenue only has
worked in Canada. At the present time we have
no proof that it will work any better in the United
States.-S. S. Nelson in Charlotte Observer.

FIGHTING THE PREACHERS

Preachers are getting more than their share of
critical shots from that part of the public that does
not want their leadership in the prohibition ques-
ton.
The famboyant activities of very few ecclesi-
astics have probably coored public judgment about
this matter tending to bring unfair and improper
prejudices to bear against all clergymen
Preachers are opposed to repeal of the prohibit
ton amendment as a general rule. With few ex-
ceptions, they stand united in this position, with
out UNCONVENTIONAL differences or any form of dis
unity
They have right to their opinion and to their
position. They may be differed with fairly and in
telligently, but to scourge and fail them with
sharp bludgeons of unsparing denunciation be-
cause, forseoth, they are following their con-
Sciences is dealing with them neither according as
their cloth demands, nor fairness dictates.-Char-
lotte Observer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WHO is THE BIGGEST FOOL IN THE WORLD ?

The caption of this editorial will no doubt gain
the attention of the reader and he or she will cast
about for the answer. Many will pick some ndl-
vidual who is regarded as half-wit, some will say
it is their rival in love or business, while still
others may get closer to the correct answer by de-
Gliding upon themselves.
In summing up the matter, we are inclined to
believe that the public is the biggest fool in the
world today-always has been and most probably
always will be.
We say that the public is the biggest fool on
the grounds that the public is always swallowing
the bait of some sucker angler. People are too
prone to bite at something new and fashy without
taking into consideration just what sort of trans
,,ction is being enacted.
Oue concrete example of the foolishness of the
puzzle IS the way people sometimes make their pur-
chases They often buy from some salesman they
have never before seen heard of and pay two
times the price and get one-half the quality they
could get by trading with mercantile firm they
know carries reliable merchandise.-Wilkes News.

gently through a mass of decaylng
vegetation and humes and the run
off by the ~treams and rivers was
more gradual and less disastrous.
But the removal of a large per
centage of the trees from many
areas, the complete clearing in
others, the frequent forest fires,
destroying the ground-sponge and
the underground, and the building
of roads and trails, have all con-
tributed to quicker and heavier
surface run-off, and this has
brought about the flooding Of
streams, overlooking fields, and
croding slopes. The damage has
not yet assumed the ruinous di-
mansions it may reach unless pre-
ventive measure are taken in time,
thanks partly to Mr.. Vanderbilt
and to the federal government,
partly to our own state depart
ment of conservation and develop
ment with its fire prevention la
bors, and partly to the fact that
our relative isolation before the
day of good roads retarded the
commercial denudation of the for
csts; but every passing year wit
nesscs more and more of that de-
mutation. Farmers arc cutting
firewood from lots which long es-
capped the axe; pastures are being
extended higher up the hills; and
forest fires are still too frequent.
The hcav-. rainfall happily does
comparatively little damage to up
land fields and gardens which are
reasonably well laid out. The soil
dries with remarkable CELEBRITY.
The clay soils also retain moisture
a long time, so that when the top
soils arc dry, vegetation still bcnc-
fits from the retained moisture.
BY learning how to protect deli
cate young plants until they can

the heavy rains rarely damage cab

crops, unless the slopes are not

right way. The problem then is

STERN REMEDY NEEDED FOR
KIDNAPPING
(By BRUCE CATTON)

No society in which kidnapping for ram
som becomes as common racket as it has
become in the United States recently is Of
fering its citizens anything very substan-
tial in the way of security.
No crime emphasizes the helplessness of
a community as does kidnapping. There will
always be human passions that will result
in murder, there will always be desperate
men who commit robbery, there will al
ways be weak men who commit forgery and
defalcation, there will always be gamblers
and panderS and confidence men. The
most society can hope to do is keep such
crimes at minimum.
But kidnapping is different. 1t cannot be
an organized racket unless the society in
which it thrives has demonstrated its utter
inability to protect the lives and persons of
its citizens. Its appearance is the gravest
symptom that the machinery OF law en-
forcement can display.
Today we have just about reached a
point at which we must discuss some ex-
tremely revolutionary revision of our whole
system of law enforcement.
Police methods could not be more dis
organized than they are now. From New
York down to the smallest hamlet, each
police force is entirely independent. There
are AZ states, each with separate juris-
1iction. The powers of the federal govern
ment to coordinate and direct the war on
crime are very limited. The cards are
stacked in favor of the racketeer. He could
rot ask for better set-up.
The editor of the Daily POst-Tribune of
la Sale, H., recently suggested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that changes be made in
The law so that federal agents could take a
hand in all kidnapping cases, and not just
in those where the victim is transported
over state line. This is an excellent pro-
posal, but it may be that we need to go
even farther than that.
1t may be that we need to follow AttOr-
ney General Cummings in his scheme for
a nationwide federal police force. 1t may
be that we need to surrender our old fond
ness for local independence and make
every cop in the land part of a great cell
tralized organization, just as we have al
ready put our national guard under fed
eral authority.
1t is perfectly obvious that we have got
to do something. The kidnapers could not
operate as they have been operating if the
existing machinery had not proved it's ut
ter inadequacy.
