How to Curb Crime 1 1 'tuS week Liberty hag a very interesting article entitled, "If Canada can curb crime why not the IT. S.t" The author is Ernest Jerome Hopkins, former special in vestigator of the Wiekersbam crime commission, and author of the book "Our Lawless Police." We regret we haven't space to reprint the article entire, for it is most enlightening and worth while. The author effectively refutes the familiar contention that America can't handle the crime problem, as Canada handles it, because the two countries are essentially different, in tempera ment and character. We quote : My purpose In Canada was to solve, If I could, the greatest mystery on the American continent. Why Is It that, with crime rising to fantastic heights with us, It la growing no faster then the population on the other aide of the Invisible line? Here ara two adjacent countries that are alike In their language, morals, and fundamental law. Subtle differences exist, . but probably no two nations on earth are more alike at bottom. Economic conditions are Identical, Including the depression. Yet In the United states crime la What we know It to be, while la Canada the picture Is. comparatively speaking, white and clean. Our lives and property are highly unsafe; Canadian . lives and property are safe. In 1820 there were but twenty-six known murders In the whole Dominion, and In 1980 but seven teen. Any large American city can outmatch Canada's entire record of crlmea of violence In any given year. In 1929 in Chicago there were over 200 murders reported, there were 111 murder indictments and only 35 convictions. The pecentage of convictions in Montreal the same year was 72 percent, compared to about 15 percent for Chicago. A similar ratio prevails all down the line. IN THE author's judgment the chief cause is difference in criminal procedure obviously a condition that could be easily corrected. The basic laws in the two countries are the same, but the methods of enforoing those laws, are radically different, and the judicial set-ups are entirely different, also. In the first place judges in Canada are appointed for life, as are certain federal judges, and all U. S. supreme court judges in this country. As a result they are not concerned with poli tics, have no interest in whether their decisions are popular or unpopular, they have no interest in votes. As a result they are entirely independent, fearless, and only interested in one thing, SECUEING ABSOLUTE JUSTICE, AS FAE AS THAT IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. As a protection against corrupt or incompetent judges in this country, there is impeachment, and could be a properly guarded and restricted recall. IN THE second place, in Canada neither the laws of procedure, nor practice, are framed for the protection of the criminal. In this country for example, if the judge is unfair or incompe tent, the defendant has the right of appeal or reversal, but the state hasnt. This obviously gives the criminal all the best of it. In Canada the state prosecutor has the same defense against an unfair judge, or against improper rulings, as the defense. If an irregularity has occurred, against the state, the proseoution can secure a review from a higher court. Why the prosecutor in this country should not have the same right, it is hard to understand. THIRDLY, there is. the greater power granted the judge in Pnnnrln aa in Tr.nrlnnrl Tha Pnnnrlinn inc nnf nnlv has the right to instruot the jury on the law, he has the right to COMMENT on the evidence, giving the jury the benefit of his legal knowledge and his greater experience with crime and criminals. The jury oan refuse to follow the implication of the judge's comments, whenever it wishes, but obviously such power goes far toward accelerating legal action, cutting through red tape and pettifogging tactics, to arrive AT THE TEUTH. AND finally that is what the courts in Canada are after TTTBl TTf.TTTTT flriminnl low nvtr fhara in not onrr. nf complicated game, hedged about by a thousand rules, regula tions and technicalities until winning the game instead of securing justice, becomes the main objective. Under the direc tion of the judge, entirely removed from politics, the machine of jurisprudence grinds steadily on, separating the wheat from the chaff, essentials from non-essentials for one purpose and one purpose alone, to establish the facts, and to secure justice, fairly and promptly. Until the American people become sufficiently aroused to demand a similar system here, the United States will continue to be the gathering point and the paradise for criminals. Here is the author's conclusion: When tha United States waa Just arousing to tha menace of gangsterism, there wsa a typical gang crime in Montreal. Rob bers held up an armored truck of the Canadian National bank. A bank messenger was killed. That wss on AprU 1, 1834. Pour Italian gangsters were arrested that aame day. Three were arreeted the day after. That was quick deteotlve work. Three of the gangsters were turned loose for lack of evidence after the preliminary inquiry. But the detective work con tinued. Quite early In the game one of tha gangsters, named Nlerl, turned king's evidence. At least a half doeen officials, police and proseoution. knew It at the time. It was kept abso lutely confidential for more t&an a monta. It came out in the trial Itself. Early In May the whole gang was rounded up. The names aeem familiar Seraflnl, Oamblnt, Morrel, Tony Frank, Valen tino, Davis, Pernio. They had operated In Newark and New York. First, feeraflnl was tried alone on the murder charge: the Jury disagreed. Then the crown attorney, R. L. Calder, prosecuted the others Jointly on conspiracy to murder. All were convicted excepting Mary Seraflnl, who waa acquitted. Both these trtala were over by the middle of May. And the crime had occurred April II The convloted men appealed. Row long did that take? Two years? Not at all. By October the decision waa handed down and the convictions affirmed. Within six months from the date of the crime Seraflnl, Oamblni, Morrel, and Frank were hanged. Valentino, Davis, and Parlllo ara In prison for life. Cases of the same aummer mopped up two other gangs. Since then there hasnt been a gang crime in eastern Canada. I am not In the business of advising gangsters, but If I were, my advloe would be this: Keep out of Canada. Criminal Justice works there. AND MOST OF THE FEATURES THAT MAKE IT WORK ARB PERFECTLY ADAPTABLE TO THE LAW OF ANY AMER ICAN STATE I of such financial aid, and also to give local help to those fruit growers, whd for certain conditions, for which they are not to blame, federal financing this year, is not available. THIS good newa, together with yesterday's good news of the establishment of Medford as main headquarters for the forest conservation corps, should send members of the ancient and honorable order of pessimists and chronic crepe hangers to the tall timber WHERE THEY BELONG. All is not perfect in this part of the world, or any other there is still much to be done, many improvements to be made but everything is materially better than was the case only a few months ago, and things promise to get even better as time .goes on. So let's call off the Lugubrious Blues for a spell, change the tune, appreciate our blessings,' and by hard work and united effort, make the most of them ! Personal Health Service By William Brady.

She visits her physician once a month. He Insists that she enter the hospital for con fine ment. But her first baby was born at home five years ago, ahe waa attend ed by the same doctor, and everything was quite normal. Of course, she says, the doctor 'doesn't refuse to attend her at home If she Insists on remaining at home. But he does refuse to have a nurso if the par-lent Is confined at home. He days he can manage better without the nurse's assistance. He assures her everything is normal this time. "I don't want to go to the hos pital but I don't want to do any thing foolish either," says the per plexed prospective mother, who ex presses a doubt that assails thou sands of her sisters every day. The hospital la the place If there la any reason to expect difficulty or if there is any complication. The physician, of course, should be en gaged as soon as the woman knows or believes she is to become a moth er. In every Instance there should be an examination to determine whether there Is any complication, for the management of the case de pends on the individual circum stances. All this, clearly. Is up to the judgment of the physician. There la nevertheless a factor which prejudices the physician In favor of hospitalization, and that Is expediency. With the special equip ment, nurses, Internes and all, it easier for the physician and takes less of his time to attend obstetric cases In hospital. i But so far as that Is concerned, the physician's time and service Is his stock In trade. If a patient Is able to pay a fair fee, then the doc- tor should be willing to attend, the 1 patient at home. It Is a matter of : compensating the physician for the additional care Instead of paying for the gratuitous services of divers func tionaries In the hospital, or more often half-paying for most hospi tals do not charge enough to cover their running expenses. Another factor, which prejudices some physicians in favor of confine ment at home, Is the greater hazard of infecblon In the hospital simply because a greater number of persons enter the equation of asepsis In the hospital. The human factor. I am i thinking now of the home of the moderately well-to-do, folks who can and. do have every modern conveni ence in the home. Still another factor la the occa sional (believe It or not) presence in the home of older children. If the parents have made a bad start or none, which Is worse. In the edu cation of such children, there Is i never a better time or opportunity to teach them the wholesome truth 1 than this. Cut the myth and mys- tery and your children will bless your 1 heart. The doctor said he could manage , better without a nurse, if the patient ; is confined at home. That's odd. Probably the poor man has to take that tack to avoid some practlr.i) nurse the patient likes.. Mot that ' practical nurses are undesirable: some of them are thoroughly caps- Die. But the nurse assisting In n labor case must understand and prac tice obstetric asepsis, and the nurse learna that only by Instruction in a regular training school, la the lying- ' In room. 1 i My husband, a mail carrier, had tried everything under the sun with out avail. He suffered with chafing and Itching In the seat. Then he applied some of the Whitfield oint ment you recommend for athlete's foot.

The fungus or parasitic affection Is not necessarily confined to the feet. Side Ache. What causes children or adults to have a pain in the side after run ning? C. P. Answer' Physiologists believe It Is distension of the right ventricle of the heart the side that pumps blood through the lungs. With good train ing this side ache disappears. Prob ably the child should run shorter distances until she gets "second wind" efficiency, but she should keep On running every day. (Copyright, 1933, John P. Dllle Co.) Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One) spectacularly, they are bidding up the price of hops. THIS writer doesn't want to dis count the farm relief bill. It may be a fine thing. If it is, we are all for It! We ought to give it a thorough trial before condemning It. CERTAINLY we shouldn't con demn it before it la tried out.
