WHY NO MUCH CltlMKf
An epidemic of crime seems to have
broken out all over the country con-
fined however to the larger centers of
population. Murders are an everyday
occurence. Holdups rival the palmiest
daH of the early West when the gold
rush was on and the stage touch was
the only method of transportation
Women und girls are attacked nightly
on the public streets and the reign of
terror swteps on unchecked If tit why?
To an outsider the answer Is simple.
I'olltlts. Ho many of the law-udlblng
citizens of the cities refrain from vot-
ing that the undesirables are alile to
place complaisant candidates In public
office. These officials know that they
owe their election to this element nnd
treaoft pedal Is used wherever possible.
I'owerful politicians of the underworld
reach their slimy hands into the of-
fices of the'prosecutors Into the ranks
of the police and een Into the sanc-
tity of the bench Itself. NO court
witli very few exceptions seems to bo
Immune from their blighting Influences.
Hardened criminals caught In their
acts are freed upon the flimsiest of
pretexts ut the demand of the under-
world bosses. Honest police officers
are Intimidated and soon become dis-
couraged because of lack of convictions.
Justice no longer Is blind. It sees
the road of policy and travels the
only roud It sees. Wholesale crime
Is the natural result tn' the good old
western days the respectable element
of the mining communities resorted
to the vigilance committees to protect
themselves from the desperadoes. It
Is not too late for history to repeat
Itself. Texhoma Times.
