CHICKASHA OKLAHOMA FRIDAY MAY 28 1909.
THE PROBLEM OF ELIMINATING
THE CRIMINAL.
The provei bin poor rue not 1 lie
only folks that "ye have always with
ye."
There is the law-breaker who slays
-with us just as faithfully and ptrsist-
iiUy. No stale no community Is
' -without iJhe vicious element of society
Jilt has no regard for law. To re-
strain this element is the constant ef-
Jort of government but they are never
thoroughly quelled. Even in the oldest
communities where order should be
most thoroughly established the worst i
types of crime are not infrequent and
petty offenders are always plentiful.
But evidence is not lacking that Ok-
lahoma has more violations of Jaw than
ivhe is entitled to and even if this is
not true it is still a problem of first-
class importance to eve.ry citizen to
consider the mutter of reducing crime
to a minimum for the better preserva-
tion of peace and the protection of life
and property.
What are you going to do about it?
Nearly everybody will give you a rem-
edy and they are all good but none
mill fill the bill completely. The de-
sired end cannot be achieved by any
spasm .of reform ; it canntit toe brought
About In a day or year but it must
be by the "here a little and there a
little" process.
Law Is nothing more than crystal-
lized public sentiment formulated In
statutes by the representatives of the
ficople and tt therefore derives its en-
tire force from public sentiment. It
. Is evident therefore that tie first pre-
requisite of law ecforeeiiint Is a pub-
lic sentiment that will not condone or
tolerate any form of law lireaklng.
It must be thoroughly ground into the
public conscience that disregard of
law is essentially anarchy and as-euch
constitutes a grave menace to the
peace and well-being of any commu-
nity. The man in the jury box mo -it bear
his share of the responsibility for the
conditions that exist. A Juror who
takes an .oath to try a case according
to the law and the evidence and who
for any reason disregards either must
be reckoned with as the most undesir-
able citizen of them fill. Peace offi-
cers and public prosecutors may do
their duty but it will come to naught
If the juror's conscience is not of the
quality that makes him do his work
according to the letter and the spirit
f his oath.
The "laws" delays" and the mass of
technicalities that surround the opera-
tion of courts aTl of which appear to
work to the benefit of the accused
rather than for the protection of the
public constitute another element that
impede the curbing of the criminal.
It is a hopeful sign that some of our
high courts show a tendency to disre-
gard purely legal quibbles when the
evidence shows that the substantial
Tights of the accused have not been
jeopardized and the following up of
this rule ought to put a good many
more criminals behind the bars.
Too free an exercise of the par-
don power also lends aid and
encouragement to the lawless. If after
long delay and tedious following the
course of justice through numerous
courts the criminal by hook or crook
till has hope to evade his Just dues
through a lenient pardon power he
is going to have far less fear of the
law. It might help some to cut out ihu
pardoning business in Oklahoma for a
few years.
The people juries prosecutors
peace ol'ticers and the pardoning pow
er each have a part to perform in the
problem of tooting out crime.
