IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS. i ; - ' "; Major fiytvester, chief ot poUc ot Washington City, has promoted a na tional movement for the Identification ot criminals. It ia proposed that there shall be co-operation between the po lice and detective organisations of th rauntrv bv which the criminal noouiitlon shall fee known, marked aad located. . A there are many crim inal occupations, the people who tot low each will be listed therein, their personality will be noteo and their In dividual Idiosyncrasies recorded as shown in their methods ot operating. This wiH result In mafcins known to tne officers of each city all the crim inal therein and the lines on which they operate. It criminal be com mitted all known criminals who pur sue that line wiU be put under espion age, and the probability ot the deed having been committed by an outside er wi cause inquiry elsewhere to see if e criminal In that line has migrated to new field. . With such a system in owrallor if a criminal like the murder of Mias Fuller be committed the police will know all the people In the city whose past conduct has exposed them to sus picion ot such a deed and they will be rounded up as suspects, no mat ter what may be their standing, says the Ban Francisco Call. - The detective force of a large city has extraordinary . opportunities for know lag the Jekyll .and Hyde sides of life. It has the means ot noting the habits of men who may practice that sinister form of crime. It may Mentify every psychopath and abnor mal and degenerate creature in the . city, and. as such crimes' are trace able always to that class, every mem ber of it may be compelled to account for his whereabouts at the time of the offense and to furnish means by which he may be exculpated or convicted. . It Is one of the unfortunat features in the psychology of civilisation that degeneracy appears in that awful form. It prevailed In all the high civ ilisations of the ancient world, except possibly among the Greeks. All of the refinements of modern civilization have not prevented its appearance. It to of such a nature as to require an enlargement of Jet -i.nl 'e training. Every detective force may well have a medical division, it which men are U. lined as medical detectives and the regular profession, by giving the of ficer the benefit of Snowledge that may be acquired -aly by the practi tioner, may give needei and powerful awistance In the fixing of such crimes upon their perpetrators. The density of our population is in creasing and the percentage of people who live in cities is sa ving rapidly upon the rural population It Is where humanity Is herded together that crime flourishes and degeneracy is found displaying its most revolting features.. Fo these reasons erl me must be sought, exposed and punished In the cities. The majority of burglaries, highway robberies, homicides, bank robberies, offenses " against , women, pocket picking, snea thieving and eth er offenses ooeuf hi icKleai - ' ' It is Interesting ,to note that cases of judicial and executive leniency have often' a tendency ' (to promote .some forms of crime. It has been noted that bank robberies have greatly mul tiplied since the parole of the Younger brothers in Mlinesota.' They were pro fessional bank, robbers, in robbing a Minnesota bank, many years, ago. they murdered the cashier who bad bravely defended his trust.. Instead of being hanged a sentimental Jury gave them life imprisonment, and after tlie lapse of years the legislature was induced to paas a special act to permit tbelr exit from the penitentiary. Of course no one suspected that they had any desire' to return to bank-robbing. They are reported to have made prop er use of their liberty. But the fact of their enlargement has neen taken by their Imitators as an official ex pression that modifies the turpitude of bank-robbing, and since It occurred there has been a regular epidemic of bank-robbing. In which many Uvea have been lost and but few arrests have been made. The protection of. society requires that detective machinery be reinforc ed by every possible means for identi fying every member ot the criminal population, and that the tuntshment of criminals be not interfered with by the Intrusion of maudlin sentiment. THREE COMING STATES. It is considered probable that before the next presidential election takes place the number of states will be In creased to forty-eight This wouiu add certainly four, and possibly five, votes to the electoral college. . Okla homa, the youngest and most popu lous of ths territories, has people suffi cient In number to entitle it to two representatives In the lower house of congress. Th census ot 1900 gave her a population of S9S.00O, and the pres ent estimate is iSO.OO New Mexico had 14,000 people in ISO, and at pres ent the population does not vary much from that figure. Arlsona lacks sev eral thousand people of the unit of representation In the states m the house, but there are precedents foe the admission ot states with fewer people than are required In the old states to constitue a congressional dis trict New Mexico has been cenled admission for the reason that its pop ulation, (hough of native Urth, had not acquired the American language. That territory was acquired by the treaty that gave us several other Am erican states, but the Mexican popu lation was so large that Americans have been slow in establishing their language and customs. In recent years good progress has been made in that direction, and the people of both na tionalities are anxious to be admitted into the union. The populous old states do not ob ject to the small addition the admis sion of these three territories would make to the number of members of the house, but they do object to the six senators' who, collectively, would represent less than 900,000 people. New York with a population of 7,000,100 has but two senators, while the three ter ritories mentioned. If admitted as states, would I entitled to six sena tors. But these populous old states make op in influence what they lack in votes in the senate. Y Tho nappy HOittQm NOMINATING A SENATOR. Says the Pendleton East Oregonlan: An esteemed Eastern Oregon Demo crat, William Smith, state senator from Baker county, has said to the Daily Democrat of Baker ?ity: "I al?o found that a number of peo ple object to the nomination of any individual for the United States ena torship on grounds that it gives an opportunity to the big corporations to t determine whether or not they could use him and if not they could com bine to defeat him.-' Certainly, Senator Smith cannot support this declaration to its logical conclusion. If the people should con ceal their candidates for the United States senate from the corporations between the time when the nominat ing conventions are held and the time when the elections occur, then why should not the candidates for '.he oth er offices also be kept in the back ground, dark horses, as it were, for fear the corporations will ascertain their views, and, if hostile, defeat them? Are we so securely within the grasp of the corporations that we must as a sovereign people conceal our Intentions from them? The Inference on the part of Senator Smith Is not worthy, that open, frank, outspoken, fearless man. And it is not in ac cordance with the views of the people of the country, who want that much of a step towards the election of Unit ed States senators by direct vote of the people. .- The. people should not have to go about their election because in mor tal fear of corporations. It Is really an attitude ot cowardice, and Is not consistent with the grandeur of our electorate. When our citizenship comes to a point when they must con ceal their desires from the corpora tions and slink along with "cards up their sleeves," then may the republic be dissolved and our boasted liber ties no more be heralded to the world. Louisville Courier-Journal: General Pearson should be wary how he car ries the Boer war Into the New Or leans camps. The American mule Is a very different antagonist from the British soldier.
