CRIME AND THE LAW—
Some of our explanation* of the
Increase in aim*. u» well an huh,
of our notiuun o( (rime in g<ii<'rul
are hit hnrtl liy recent futures on
crime in England and the United
Staten
What are we to make of the far'
that in England crime in decreasiua
just us rapidly and remarkably as in
the Unite,| Stales it is increasing'.’
Figures madi puldti b> the Unite,|
States department of collimctt, show
that more than twenty prison in Kur-
land ami Wales, over a Mill’d of iln
total number, have been dosed, 'toi
lack of patronage." mu,, 1!*I4. Then
are now only forty prisons in use
there, ami these are by no means ful
ly occupied.
In the United Stales the pnpula
tion of the federal prisons at Atlanta
I -aveiiworth and M, Neil Island in
creased from 2.500 in 1913 to 7.17u in
102.’..
While English prisons and Jails an
being closed those of our own country
are overflowing. The Nebraska stat.
prison is crowded with twice as many
prisoners as it was intended for. and
many others, for whom there is u<>
possible room, are fanned out in coun
tv jails.
Meanwhile as the prison population
mounts, the number of serious crimes
committed that go undetected au,l un-
punished glows in e(jtial or even
greater proportion.
• • •
W, used lo think many of us Mill
believe—that crime grows out of pov-
city, of ignorauce, of intemperance, of
ill health, and of other diseases and
maladjustments of the body politic.
Abolish ignorance, poverty, drink, dis
eased bodies, we have been exhorted,
and crime will sink to negligible pro
port ions.
Yet ih. United Slates is dry and
England is wet.
The United States is prosperous,
with little grinding poverty autl few
slums, while Kutfiand is gripped in
poverty and disfigured with slums.
The average level of bodily health
and well being is high in the United
States and lower than in many gen
< rations in England
In the diffusion of education and
popul.11 enlightenment and informu
tiou the United States is well in ad-
vance of England.
England, as a matter ot fact, s
1 ull' and industrially is in a bad
way It has a permanent unemploy-
ed class of more than a million and
a i|ii«rti r people, and the number is
growing What with enforced idle-
ness. unprosperoua industry, crushing
taxation, the large excess of women
over men in its adult population, it is
tailoring under an almost uubearahh
hurdm. There is hopelessness, sul
leu dissatisfaction, chronic under
nourishment, to , untend with.
Yet England tarries on. as a nation
of orderly, law abiding people. Tie
law is respected and enforced. Trine -
of violence are so rare that they hard
ly compare. In iii’iuher, with lik-
crime* in n single American city lik>
Chicago or New York or St. Louis.

Why the difference?
It cannot be due to forma of guv
crumt-ni, for the government of Eng
land is comparable to our own.
And the favorite explanation—"ou
account of the xvar"- is clearly value
less. For England was in the war
too- far more deeply in it. .suffering
immensely more in loss of life and
treasure and sett led conditions than
•lid the United States.
There does exist what is comiug
perhaps to he a fundamental diffci
el, e between English and American
society. In England the body of law
grows slowly. Changes, additions
are made with great caution. Such
as are made are not only clearly in
dicated as necessary, but as a rule an 1
us clearly in accord with popular tie
maud. Tlie law is an outgrowth ot
habit ami custom and experience.
Therefore, for the great body of or
dinurily decent and well-meaning pet,
pie it is rather the easy and normal
tiling to respect and obey it. Ami
those who do not obey are punish
ed.
in tlie United States laws grow so
rapidly that nobody can keep step
witli it. Neither caution nor moder-
ation is exercised in changing it ami
adding to it. it has come to he, in
no small measure, an instrument of
organized minorities. Instead of fol
lowing* habit and custom, it is used
to create, modify and change habit
ind custom.

I And this may explain a great deal
| of the difference in extent of crime
I in tlie two countries.
Hut is it any part of tlie reason!
why murder, for example, is so com i
mon in tlie United States and so rare
in England? Why law that all normal
people recognize as a good law is vio
fated here so much more frequently
than there?
On first thought one would say
no. of course not. But it is well not
to lie too hasty in deciding.
tor. Just possibly, the answer is
Vos.
Anyhow, some thoughtful people j
believe so. And they argue that un-
just laws, silly laws, unpopular laws,
unnecessary laws, tend to bring the
whole body of law into disrepute, so
,that good law. along witli th,. had.
Moses its hold on people, its influence
over them, their respect for it. Law}
becomes no longer a thing to be rever-
enced in and for itself. Tlie measure
of its restraining influence as a whole,
thereupon, is no longer moral, but
i merely physical. And iis physical in-
fluence is lost in proportion as tlie
ability and disposition to enforce It
dwindles.
This may not be the only explana-
tion of why England Is law-abiding,
though plunged in misery, while law-
lessness strides in seven league boots

Reliable news
If “So-And-So” told you that “Somebody” said
“Such-and Such” was a good buy—you probably
wouldn’t buy it.
But if you read an advertisement in this paper
about the merits of that product—you’d have confi-
dence in it.
A(hei tisements arc re? liable. Phe merchant or
manufacturer who signs an advertisement knows that
he must keep faith. He knows that when you come in
to buy you will expect the goods to be just what he has
claimed. He realizes that if he deceives you once, your
trade is lost.
Never was there a more severe test of the worth of
•i product than advertising! You can pin your faith to
an advertised product everv time. It. invites the in-
spection of millions and it must be worthy or it cannot
live.
