WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.—-The
leading Republican potytteians art
more afraid of A1 Smith than of
any other Democrat.
Time was when the impartial
analyst wondered bow much of
that oft-rspeatsd assertion could
he traced to Smith propaganda.
But beeaqee of the way the Re­
publicans themselves have acted,
it*« h«rd to doubt it any more.
Privately, some of them admit it.
They appear to have been, fig­
uring on Smith’s nomination for
a long time back. They hope the
Democrats wifi tear each other
to a frazsle before they name'hlm,
but they don’t see how the nom­
ination can he kept from him in
the end and they believe t h a t
Smith will give them a hard cam­
paign in which they will win by
no great margin at best,

Crime and the Human Touch
In announcing his appointments to the crime
commission the last of the week, Governor Young
of California laid particular emphasis to the out­
standing humanitarian element in each one of the
men appointed, intimating that this “ human touch’’
characteristic of the men was one of the .deciding
factors of their selection.
, The nlission of the crime commission will be to
go deeply in the matter of crime in the state of
California with the idea of locating if possible its
cause, using the results of the investigations as a
basis for the future handling of the crime problem
within the state. 1
In view of the fact that the governor does well
in picking out men who he knows have developed
the humanitarian instinct sufficiently to be-able to
look at their duties as members of the commission,
not as “ roaring lions seeking whom they may de­
vour,” but more pf a sympathetic spirit with the
desire to help the criminal to see the error of his way
and not that an outraged public might secure re­
venge.
If the law enforcing machinery was seeking the
best v tf f possible to increase erime, they could
hardly fall upon a better method than the so-called
“ hard-boiled” system of dealing with criminals. If
there is anything which would be likely to Cause a
fellow who had once gotten into trouble with the
law to embark on a farther career of lawlessness,
at the first subsequent opportunity, it would result
in: being badgered, -browbeaten, insulted, belittled
and humiliated by a two-by-four jniniqn of the law
e< the “ hard-boiled” variety. Especially when, jus
the officer is., more impelled
by the desire to show his authority than by the
mere desire to uphold the dignity of the law.
There should be no 'desire for revenge in the
state’s attitude toward the criminal. The intent
of punishment on the part of the state should be a
make a > better citizen out of the criminal rather
than a worje criminal. It might he a hard matter
to attain the first results, but it is a mighty easy
matter to kick the criminal farher down in the scale
of crime.
If the members of the new crime commission
are to bring about the greatest results they will
give the humanitarian instintfts, which as inferred
by the governor entered into their appointments,
plenty of room for expression.
This does not mean that they are to be moved
by maudlin sentiment, but rather to remember that
even a criminal has a right to be recognized as a
human being, and treated as such, with the possi­
bility of touching that inner Bpark, which when
once fanned into a flame, becomes*a guarding star
to genuine good citizenship.
*
Making money is not the highest of motives, but
the desire to make good financially and render
service that shall be profitably rewarded, leads to
a lot of good work being done. It is a motive that
should promote work for horns town progress.
The more a town prospers, the more valuable
any job is likely to become. Business men can pay
better wafees in a prosperous town. There are more
chances for promotion. If you acquire property or a
business, home town growth makes the same more
valuable. It is for the personal interest of all of
us, to co-operate with every movement for civic
progress.
