How would it suit Mr. Elmore to lira
it all fishing to wheels and seines and
traps, with a proviso that all glllnet
ters who were so disposed could drift at
will in the rapids through the dalle
and over the cascades. Yesterday's
Oregonian.
The "argument" presented In the
above lines is quite apiece with that of
the whole long-winded article on the
overfishing of the Columbia of which U
1st an extract The Idea Mr. Elmore evi.
dently intended to convey was that fu
ture regulations of the salrmu Industry
must be framed with rjterenee to the
habits and peculiarities of the fish.
Salmon packers have adjusted their
methods and appliances -for taking the
llsh to' these conditions; why should not
the laws Intended for the increase and
preservation of the industry also take
them into account? The .Columbia
river is not like a stick of timber which
ran be turned end for end; it must be
dealt with as it lies. The cascades and
upper reaches of the river are where the
fish go to si awn; it is th?re the supply
must be replenished, if nt all. Mr. El
more's suggestion was to let this spawn
ing ground alone and conllne limiting
operations (o that portion of the river
where they may do the least harm.
The huntsman who goes into the open
field to shoot full-fledged 'luall extermi
nates his game in a very different and
less pernicious way than he who ruth
lessly Invades the hedges to break up
the nests and destroy the em
bryo offspring of the breeding
Mrds. The Columbia river fishwheel
has been pronounced by every author
ity the wickedest and most detriment
al contrivance for taking fish ever In
vented by man. It catches not only
the breeding salmon, but the young)
fish as well. What use to es
tablish hatcheries, when no . eggs
can be obtainei? Nine hundred mil
lion eggB could have be taken from
the fish destroyed by wheels last
year. Located at points in the
strong currents, which the breeding
salmon cannot avoid, and provided with '
false channels artfully laid to deceive
the instinct of the spawn-laden fish, not
one in thousands can escape the cease
lessly revolving and insatiate maw of
this devilish snare. Let the men who
own these exterminating devices come
to the lower river If they will. It Is no
argument in their favor to say that
their apparatus is not suited to the
slew currents prevailing here, but rath
er an argument against the injustice of
thtlr use anywhere. If wheels are not
adapted to lower river conditions, let
these upper river fishermen take their
chances with the same appliances used
by their fellows below. In this way
arid this way only the salmon can be
preserved for any fisherman, and all

IS CRIME OX THE INCREASE.
Chicago Times-Herald.
All sound-minded people who occa
sionally feel the obligation to rise aboe
their own personal interests to consid
er the problems that affect the general
welfare are Interested In knowing
whether the world is growing better or
worse. Is morality on the Increase?
Are the principles that underlie the
general scheme of Christian ethics be
coming more widely exemplified in the
business and family relations of .lien?
A favorite way of answering these
questions Is to compile statistics of
criminology from prison reports. Sta
tistical evidence of crime in the Unit
ed States, taken from reports of gov
ernment censuses, has been collated as
follows:
frtsoner
Per 100.000
Census. Prisoners. Population.
1S50 S.T3T 2S
I860 19.0i 61
is;o 3901 Si
1SS0 ...3 09 UT
1JS0 Y.9 . 122
If we were to accept this as a rellabli
measure of the quantity of crime, we
would be forced to concede that crime
is on the increase in the United States.
That these Igures are not trustworthy
as a measure of the crlmiucl tendencies
of the people it ahown by Rolanl P.
Falkner In the July Forum. Mr. Falk
ner demonstrates In the first place that
there was no approach to accuracy in
gathering prison statistics until 1SS0,
and hence no value can attach to the
comparisons made in the above tables.
Massachusetts. Michigan. Ohio snd
Pennsylvania are the only states fur
nishing approximately accurate records
of the commitments to prison. In
Massachusetts the statistics show that
penitentiary offenses gained on the
population up to 1SS9 and have since
failed to keep pace with it; that in
Pennsylvania, the progress of popula
tion and crime has been uniform, while
in Michigan offenses have outstripped
the population in growth.
But suppose the statistics were accu
rate, would they necessarily indicate
a weakening of the moral character of
the people? Does a larger prison popu
lation In each state show beyond ques
tion an Increased criminal propensity
In the community?
As a matter of fact the attempt to
measure criminal tendencies by prison
statistics is futile. If we applied this
rule to some of the mining communi
ties in the early days of the far West,
where many crimes went unpunished,
it would have revealed a condition of
advanced morality and respect for law
and order that would have shamed the
New England cities.
A heavy increase In the number of
penitentiary inmates in a state does not
necessarily mean a deterioration in the
moral tone of the people. On the con
trary, it may prove the opposite. For
it must be remembered that as civil!
zation advances the new statutory defi
nitions of crime necessarily increase
the number of punishable offenses,
and this has a decided effect upon
prison population. It was only a few
years ago that Massachusetts adopted
more rigorous measures for the pun
ishment of drunkenness. In that state
drunkards are committed to penal es
tablishments, the same as all others
who commit crimes against society. In
18&5 the punishment for drunkenness
was doubled. As a result the commit
ments were fewer, but a year after
ward the statistics for any one month
showed a larger number of Inmates In
the penal establishments than for the
corresponding month of the previous
year. ,
Would It be safe to conclude from
this that drunkenness is Increasing fas
ter than the population in Massachu
setts? On the contrary, the statistics
show an awakening of a popular ab
horrence of drunkenness and a great
er determination to punish offenders
of this class.
The word "crime," moreover, d"-s
not mean the same thing to the mor
alist and the statistician. The iat'er
includes all classes of punishable of
fenses. There Is no doubt a slight in
crease in all offenses punished by law,
because a quickened public conscience
demands a stricter enforcement of law.
But there is little doubt, as Mr. Falk
ner says, "that crime in its deepest
moral sense, as we are apt to picture
it." has decreased.
