THE MURDER RATE

According to report recently given
out, the city of Quebec, with population
of approximately 100000, was the scene
of only one murder ina whole year.
In the United States there are on an
average approximately 10 murders each
year out of each 100000 population, while
in the cities of Memphis, Jacksonville and
Birmingham the annual rate during the
past 10 years has averaged nearly go MUIR
ders per 100000, or GO times that Of Que
bee.
III spite of the earnest efforts of
sociologists and publicists to determine
the cause and suggest remedy for the de-
plorable crime situation, no appreciable
Roadway has been made in that direction.
Attempts to explain crime as an after
math Of the war fall flat when it is con-
sidered that the homicide rate i'm England,
Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zea-
land and other English-speaking countries
averages only about one-tenth that of the
United States, yet all these were in the war
from beginning to- end and suffered from
its effects in every way UNNECESSARILY more
than we did.
It is declared by a recent writer that
only one murderer ont of 160 is executed
in New York, while 20 out of 100 are
hanged in London. This may have some
thing to do with our high murder rate.

FACTS VERSUS FANCY

Dabbling with spiritualism or other
supposed occult ideas are dangerous to
ones integrity of mind, according to DIR.
William ]. Mayo, eminent surgeon and
medical scientist, who points out that many
have been misled by imaginary phenomena.
He mentions Sir Conan Doyle, Sir
William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge as
three outstanding examples of men Of
science who interested themselves in
psychic phenomena and came to believe
in the reincarnation of the dead. But he
points out that these eminent men got that
way late in life, after their mental powers
were on the wane.
DR.. Mayo further points out that many
things we experience today and under
stand as perfectly natural phenomena
would have been attributed to the super
natural if they had been produced in
earlier times. For example, if Someone
had invented the radio during the Dark
Ages he would have been considered in
league with Satan and would probably
have been burned at the stake. So, he con-
cludes:
Whenever we do not understand ex-
listing phenomena let us lay the lack where
it belongs-to the failure of the under
standing which the future may clear up
and not allow ourselves to prostitute in
telligence by talking about fairies, ghosts,
spirits and reincarnation Of the dead"

WITCHCRAFT IN 1884

Recent news reports of '.witchcraft
murders" in which the victims were killed
because they were supposed to be exerting
evil Influences upon their neighbors. have
again brought to light unbelievable pre-
valence of superstition in this land of
civilization
Investigations pursued in consequence
of these killings have revealed that in GER
tain sections the belief in witchcraft and
magic is as common as that which pre-
vailed during medieval times in Europe. or
among African natives of the present
One of the murders recently reported
was committed in order to obtain posses
sion of magic book in which was
printed: whoever carries this book is
safe from all enemies: can not die. nor be
drowned in any water, nor burn up in any
fire, and so on.
It is estimated that in the United
States not less than 10000 professional
priests and priestesses" of voodooism, for
tune-telling, and other charlatanry make
q living by playing upon the ignorance and
credulity of superstitious people They
even number among their dupes many per-
sons of wealth, education and social pres
tige. There il no accounting for how they
ret that way.
