counly, Ulilo, July 6, 1(143, beinB the
son or ('inner und (.'uthcrlne (Trus
eler) MeKlnnls. Ho remained with
his parenls on tile fanu until the

Kood an eiliieulion us the schools of

At this time he joined un eilliiri-iint
party und stinted across the plains,

ufter the usual hardships and diffi
culties with Indians. Kor a while he
eitKi.Kcd in work on farms und
and to an outworn and antiquated
judicial system. The truth, he adds,
"is hidden behind a barricade of
technicalities."
"The widespread defiance of prohi
bition laws has brraight us face to
fnee with an acute nhase of a chronic
national ailment- There are those
who insist that the present crime,
wave is solely due to prohibition,
while others, like ex-Governor Miller
of New York and Senator-elect Ed
wards cf New Jersey, insist that pro
hibition is responsible for a part at
least of our contemporary lawless
ness. "But the record will show that we
have always been a lawless nation.
During the Boer war, England lost
22,000 soldiers on the battle fields or
by disease in South Africa. During
exactly the same periral of time we
lost through homicide 31,000, or
fl.nflfl more than wore killed on the
Tnglish side during the war.''
Other comparisons cited by Mr.
Conally in suport of his statements,
include these:
In 1003, Germany, with a popula
tion of fifty millions, reported 322
homicides. In the same- year, the
homicides in the United States, with
a population of eighty millions, num
bered 9,000. More significant still,
in that year the convictions for mur
der in Germany were 93 per cent of.
the total, while in the United States j
the convictions were only a little
over one per cent. t
It has been estimated that in the ;
administration of justice ill the !
United States the odds in favor of;
the murderer increased from about
171 in 1885, to abcut 080 to 1, in
1920.
With the population of seven mil
lions and a quarter, London, in 1916
had nine premeditated murders. Dur-
rrctuhtltitf then took ii. sebool leaeh-, ;tl 'F ',,! T,j' m-.
j premeditated murders, nearly 12
times London's total. In that year'
Chicago, with Its two and n half;
millions of people, had 20 more mur-1
ders than all of England and Wales,

is on this point that tho constitution- I

Tho case was peculiar In that n
