Newspaper Page TextTHE CQ1ID0.1 GLOBE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 29,1892. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY. OREGON. THE CRIME HABIT. From the statistics of homicide given in the census bulletiu. there has been more or less speculation as to the causes of crime. It is shown that ignorance, lack of knowledge of a trade or business, idleness and intemperance, usually credited with being the four great causes of crime, are relieved of this responsibility by the statistics, which show that 66.56 per cent could read and write, 82.21 per cent were emyloyed,and only 19.87 per cent were drunkards, says the Oregoman. The statistics of murder are less valuable as an indication of the cause of crime than is usually supposed. In the first place, hom icide is not the kind of crime that should be studied if one is seeking information . about the criminal .classes. Every keeper of a peni tentiary will say that murderers are the best class of prisoners he has. The commission, of murder is no sign of criminal habits or in stinct. It is generally the result of special v causes. Occasionally, of course, J' murder is committed in the course of perpetrating 6ome other crime, such as burglary or highway robbery, and the mur derer my then properly be assigned to the habitually criminal class; but nine-tenths of the murders committed are special deeds whose perpetrators do not belong in the ranks of the habitually criminal. For this reason statistics of homi cide are not valuable in determin ing the causes of crime. It may be said, as well, that the penitentiary is not by any means so good a place for the study of crime and its causes as the police court. The statistics of the Oregon penitentiary for the last three months of 1891 are typical, and poiut to conclusions as plainly as though for a longer period. ' Dur ing that time 77 were commited from the various counties of the Btate. Of these, 67 could read and write English, 2 could read and write their own language, but not . English, and only 4 could not read or write at all. Of the character of crimes they committed, 10 were crimes against the persDn, such as murder, assault, rape, etc., and 67 were crimes against property, 37 being for grand larceny. It is crimes against property that are committed by the habitually crim inal class, and statistics of such crimes are far more valuable than those of homicides, Only 18 of the 77 were registered as hard drinkers and one as a morphine fiend. Eighteen were recorded as having a special trade or occupa tion, : Religious faith is recorded as 16 Catholics, 24 Protestants, one Confucian, and 36 with no creed at all, between 65 single and 12 mar ried. These figures are practically val ueless as giving any indication of the causes of the commission of crime. The religious test shows about half and half between those that claimed to adhere to some religious faith and those that did not. : Ihe statistics of intem perance, as taken, mean but little. Eighteen out of 77 were hard drink ers, but it is the common experi ence that the influence of intem perance upon crime is not confined to drunkards. The labor figures mean little, since men lie about each matters, and all who did not give a special occupation were class ed as laborers. The fact; that 65 of the 77 were unmarried is quite sig nificant. It is directly in line of common observation that it is not good for man to be alone. The young man who assumes the re sponsibility of a family und feels that he has an object in life, that others are depending upon him, and that some one loves him and respects him, rarely finds his way within prison walls. That experi ence is reserved for the young man who shirks his responsibility as a Member of society, and prefers to have a "good time" and to go it r.Lile te is That this is the dividing line is shown also by the fact that a large majority aw; men below the age of aU, and that nearly all of them have a fair edu cation. It is not ignorance that has led them into crime, nor is it drunkenness, nor is it lack of relig ious teaching. Ignorance and drunkenness get into the police court and the bridewell; intelli gence goes to the penitentiary. In temperance is a feature, but not necessarily a cause, of higher crime. The fast life an unmarried man is tempted to lead, which life passes down through wine, women and Bong to the commission of some crime against property, leading to the door of the penitentiary, is nearer a universal cause of crime of the legally grave sort than the oth er. Larceny, forgery and embez- lement are the crimes that fill pen j itentiaries, and they are committed in an overwhelming proportion by young, fairly educated, unmarried men. On this point the statistics do not lie. This does not mean that all are clerks or professional men. On the contrary, a large pro portion are men whose employment is some form of manual labor, but who prefer to have a good time o nights and Sundays to supporting a wife and children, and gradually find their good time costs more than they can pay, and are led to add to their income to some form of larceny. If one wants to see how igno rance, intemperance, idleness and Jack of mechanical knowledge af - feet the commission of crime, he should go to the police courts. There, he will see vice and the ha bitually criminal classes. For Ev ery person sent to the Oregon pen itentiary the police court of Port land has before it a score, aud this is true of ajl cities, the larger the city the worse being the conditions Here is the real fes tering sore of crime and vice. It is this that society is anxious to be rid of aud whose statistics are in- x ,j; , i ,i . terestlllg Only C3 tney may point out the way hv reveahnethecausfi. ! aI. i i. .

It is not in the penitentiary, the 1 high-school of crime, but in the po lice court, the primary and gram mar school, that one may observe the effect of ignorance, intemper ance and idleness. Here one of the evil effects of unrestricted immigra tion also may be observed. If so cial scienVsts want to learn how 1 nn.,;rnJ 1 ! the crime habit is acquired, let them leave the penitentiary and go to the police court. The Famous Ross Bucks.

It is distilled from plunta growing ittmn the hanks of the Congo River, in South Af rica. The first knowledge that we pos evys oi this wonderful oil is found in some of ihe writings of Covilhain, o Por tuguese navigator and African explorer, who was sent out by the King of Abvs siniu obout 1488. ' He sneaks of it won- d.er'?!

As the world has progressed, more explora tions have been made in Equatorial Af rica, mid suffering humanity has been greatly benefitted, as well as medical sci ence being advanced by the re-discovery of this wonderful Congo Oil. It was lirst brought into civilized Eurooe bv a meni- 1 "rot the expedition sent out from Lon-t,-,;-! in 1860, under t,ie command of Cnp- '.iiii tiDene, wnose explorations reached far up the 'jo vo River. The secret of its production was jealously guarded un til upon the death of the party in whose possession it was, when it was given to a pariy named Hattee, who formed a company known us the Congo Oil Com pany, having its headquarters at Zanzi bar, South Africa, with a branch in .New York City, and thus placing upon the market this most wonderful of all reme dies, liy its useall pain disappears, but it is particularly recommended in Hciat- tca, Kiieniuutism, Neuralgia, Etc. It is wonderfully penetrating, and to use it once is to become a friend to it nlwnrs. By its use thousands who are suffering can bo relieved. It is the cheapest lie cause it is the best, and one bottle of it will go further than a dozen of the many so-called cures for these ills. It is pure ly for external use.
