GEOGRAPHY OF CRIME.
Murder a Product of Lack of Civ
. . . Ulzation. "
rhe .Restraining: Influence of Religious
Sentiment Countries Where the
Most Murders Are
Committed.
Murder, geographically considered
is the product oS lack of civilization,
writes Prof. Oettinger in his "Moral
Statistics." Whenever a state of pov
erament is in a state of disorganization
the people become demoralized, educa
tional and religious progress is at a
standstill, and murder is bound to in
crease. It is essential to lay great
stress on the religious feeling of a
community, because comparatively few
murders occur in Turkey, a country
deranged and unsettled in its af
fairs, wherein a large proportion
of the people are lacking in civiliza
tion and culture. But the Islam faith
is productive of a certain religious
sentiment in these uneducated masses
which prevents murder, the greatest
crime against human and divine laws.
Compared with Turkey, Greece, once
the seat of civilization, but now de
moralized and degraded by Turkish in
fluence, without the prohibitive power
of the Mohammedan religion,manifests
the truth of this assertion by rolling up,
in a population of less than 2,000,000
people, 310 murders, and 478 felonious
assaults, an average of one killed or
maimed for every 3,800 souls. This
number overshadows demoralized Ire
land, where for a number of years the
most terrible agrarian crimes, mur
ders, arson, etc., have been committed,
the outcome of the atrocious feeling
between landowners and the peas
antry. Another country with a large per
centage is Spain, and an increase in
bloodshed goes hand in hand with its
gradual decline. A glance at the crim
inal statistics of the United States
demonstrates that murder reaches its
highest percentage among the unedu
cated class, who can neither write nor
read. In the state of Texas, for ex
ample, one murder occurs to every
eight thousand five hundred inhabi
tants. In Illinois this percentage is
considerably lowered, one murder be
in,? quoted for every fifty thousand.
Germany of late years shows an in
crease of murder cases and assaults,
, born out of socialistic tendencies. The
-murder percentage of Great Britain is
comparatively small, with the excep
tion of London and Ireland, and per
sonal, safety in England and Scotland
is commended on all sides. Even few
thefts are committed in the level por
tions. France, Sweden, Denmark, Bel
cam, Holland and Switzerland record
murder statistics similar to those of Ger
many. No substantial data can be
-obtained about Russia, but the strik
ing increase in political murders, sig
nalized by the nihilistic and socialistic
era, needs no comment. No state in
' th-? jvsiifld rolls up more revolutionary
Attacks and crimes at the present time
than Russia. During the year 1SSG-87,
the last authentic report that could be
obtained, three thousand persons were
deported to Siberia for life.
As with suicide and murder, it is with
thef t.geograpiiically speaking. Lack of
culture and civilization is synonymous
with increased theft and dishonesty,
not so much on account of the immoral
and depraved condition of the people as
because cf lack of protection. Theft in
Sweden and Norway, in Denmark and
the extreme north is exceedingly rare.
The oriental and southeastern states
show an alarming amount of theft, and
next to America Turkey, Russia, the
Balkan states and Hungary contain
the most crooks.
Fraud'in all its-various denominations,
ranging from high-grade swindle in
its manifold phases down to small
shady transactions which hover be
tween dishonest practices and techni
cal evasions of the law, has its home
principally in the large cities of the
world. London is a perfect mecca for
swindlers, while throughout England,
with the exception of London, busi
ness dealings are characterized by
sound principles of honesty. Compar
atively little fraud is practiced in the
northern and western states, as Swe
den, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Holland, Belgium, France and Switzer
land rank favorably in this respect. In
Germany a striking decline is noticea
ble in fraudulent transactions. The
same conditions lack of civilization
and education which prevail with
other crimes pertain to fraud. Spain,
Italy, Greece, Turkey, and,: above all,
Russia lead the line.

Land of
tie Setting Sun
Is still a mysterious and unexplored country to many a resident
of the cyclone-ridden East and the "barren Rocky-mountain region,
but who, though possessed of a desire to see the great Empire of the
Pacific, has up till now failed to muster the necessary energy to
make the trip. It seems to them like a great journey, that along the
way still linger the pitfalls and dangers of "border days. But this
Empire has made gigantic strides since, 1849. It is not now alone
the land of gold and glorious sunsets, but a stretch of country given
to mellow fruitfulness, comprising all products from the luscious fig
and orange of the tropics to the mammoth red apples of colder climes.
Wasco
County, Oregon.
There is still thousands of acres of G-overnment land left in Wasco
county, capable of raising apples, peaches, grapes, prunes, and small
fruits. Three hundred dollars clear money has been made from an
acre of prunes, and $1,000 an acre from the humble strawberry. It
will pay those who imagine that Uncle Sam's domain is exhausted,
to make a trip to the "golden west" and see for themselves all that
is to be known. There is no excuse for putting off this trip till a
later time. An attraction is presented which of itself will pay for
the trip. This is j;he
