T 1 unduly great, as measured by the records of other countries, and I is increasing every year much faster than the population, and i the number and proportion of convictions is decreasing both ab solutely and relatively. These somewhat startling statements ; were sustained by careful statistics, and there is no question of j the truth. of them, ne of the most striking failures of free ' Government, as administered in this country, is its failure to pre i vent and punish crime. That the fault is not that of free gov I ernment itself is shown by the fact that no such conditions ob tain in France, Switzerland or England. J Obviously, something must be done about it. We can per I haps get along without punishing many criminals. Those of them that make too much trouble are pretty sure to get shot, sooner or later, anyway. But we can not get along if the general belief j prevails that the law is not adequate to punish crime. The chief purpose of inflicting punishment legally is to prevent it being done illegally. The people refrain from .private vengeance only as they believe there will be public vengeance. Incidentally, civ ilized states use this public vengeance as an opportunity for the reform and deterrence of criminals. But the protection of soci ety against violence and anarchy decrees that the law be and be deemed adequate to do that which individuals and mobs will in sist on doing it if the law does not. man.

Rra&.hJJ CRIMINAL LAW REFORMS In a paper read before the CommonwealthClub in San Fran cisco last week, Professor McMurray, of the University of Cali fornia, presented some startling figures 01. the increase of crime and the efficiency of our legal machinery to handle it. Exactly the reverse condition exists in all civiliz9d' countries. Every where else the actual amount of crime is much less than with us, the amount of it is decreaiinff every year, and the proportion of criminals caught and punished is incrersinsr. In this country and especially in the state cf Oalifornia, where the statistics presented were most complete, te absolute amouat of crime is The Boston Advertiser remarks that it 'is not clear upon what grounds Holland insists that Venezuela should fulfill the conditions of the proctocol of 1894, in view of the fact that Hol land herself has notoriously failed to do this. That proctocol opened Venezuelan ports to Dutch commerce, in return for which Holland promised not to permit the harboring of Venezuelan rev olutionists in Curaco or permit the export from there of weapons or ammunition to Venezuela. The assumed attitude of Holland now appears to be that, as Venezuela has closed her ports to Curacao, Holland may allow any sort of a revolutionary propo ganda to flourish in Curacao. She has the cart before the horse. It is a well understood fact that for a long time dating far back of the present disagreement between Holland and Venez uelarevolutionists have lived in Curacao and spread their anti Castro doctrines thence. If the Holland government has not openly protected these Venezuelan revolutionists, she has cer tainly made no effort to check them or drive them from the isl and. Curacao has long been a hotbed of Venezuelan revolution ism. There has been nourished most of the anti-Castro agita tion. Curacao has been a political thorn in Castro's side. Castro has the weight of the facts on his side ,so far as the proctocol of 1894 is concerned. ucicuac in m xvojr uttmpuure, on trial in Indan for the murder of Mrs. Gunness, declares it will prove at th hearing that the woman is not dead. If that is true, some on6 is in great danger of going to the bright hereafter bv mean. I the poison route. So it is about an even matter, so far as th : i. , j j it. 1. .
