ROSEBURG, OREGON,
CRIME AND
Year by year our crime bill grows, until now, according
to such authorities as Mark Pi'pntiss, who organized the Na
, tional Crime Commis&ion, our annual payment to lawless
. ness is larger than the combined total of farm products,
I larger than the entire European debt to this country.
, Yet this increase 'searcoly
lethargy or lack of corrective effort on the part of penal
-authorities. . The. lust few weeks have seen important 'devel
opments toward uie curoing or crime. - .
At San Quentin penitentiary, California, has been
; adopted a practice which many hail as a revolutionary step
; in criminal rehabilitation. It is plastic surgery for the faces
; of those convicts who feel that their appearance is against
s them. The underslung jaw, the squinty eye, the mashed
; nose and the low, apish brow mark a man so that he has no
chance tq make good, they say. "
. y, A far cry from, the day when criminals were deliberate-
'... ly disfigured so that all who met them might know their true
t Character. Nowadays the plug-ugly can have his face lifted
, i and beat back to respectability by getting a job in the movies.
jjawlessness, It's,eems, U only skin deep.,: ? .
' v.; Missouri has, adopted a law permitting punishment by
J deati for holdup with a .'deadly weapon;. When one bandit
. has been put to death, the profession should become less pop-
ular but at a great cost o? victims' lives. If a bandit knows
;: his own life will be the forfeit if ho is caught; will he risk
'.- letting his, victim go, to direct pursuit and identify his as
jsailant? Certainly not; he will kill him. , ,
y The Michigan house of representatives, considering
; crime legislation, dismissed humanitarian proposals and
1 adopted the whipping post. : For armed robbery, ten to twen-
ty lashes "on the bare back, well laid on," are to be admin
'1 istered every six months of imprisonment. U
','. '. A brutal,. Uncivilized form of torture, prisoS reformers
1'call it. They are right, but it works..' Some men's minds
icaiuiQt grasp moral lawi - Bijt their innate animal instincts
;. 'always keep them in fear of soiring, physical pain. f
r ; ' Now they are' starting a' campaign ; to elevate; purify
nd refine jazz music! The, National association of Orchesi
j ;'tra Directors seolsa to" prbvc' tyat jazz contains the germ'dt'
c'real Amorican music, that it is a significant phenomenon of
J 'present day life., They might save their effort. . Of course,
t ! jazz. reflects modern American life; and the iiora! fact that
j it reflects it accurately is the thing that keeps it from being
j( "first class music. Qur life nowadays is flippant, hurried
(ahd superficial;' So is our music. It expresses us all too
wen,, it is, Dniiiaut on vno sur;acc out utterly wtlhout real
depth or significance. Itefinc it? Elevale it? Try lifting
yourself by your own boot-strays. When we have become a
peoplo capable of the depth and insight that characterizejd
the Germany of Beethoven and Wagner or the France of
Saint Saens, we shall produce music worth comparing with
theirs j and not before then. ;

The. traffic commissioner in a large city has announced
that horoafler ho will pay no attention to traffic accidents
;in which podostrians are injured unless those accidents oc
cur at regular cross walks. Cross 'walks are protected, he
says, and any pedestrian who wants to avoid accidents can
confine himself to them. Perhaps he's going just a bit too
far- Yet there's a lot in what ho says. It is certain that the
nian on foot could do a great deal toward cutting down the
accident toll.
