Ticious. conduct by the courts and their officers of the proceedings un der the taw, would it not have been better ,'or him to have asked all) persona to join with the American j Bar association In the efforts it isj o earnestly making to prevent Im proper practices and to raise the Ideals and work ot the courts and of American citizenship generally? Mr. Buckner as Federal District Attorney solemnly aubscribed an oath ot office to support the Const!-. hld tution of the United states; not some parts of It with omission of other parts; and It seems that he was "particularly charged with "sup porting" that particular part known as" the Eighteenth Amendment. His oath does not mean that he may "support" it only when In actual performance of some official duty. and then In social activities lent- manded," probably for getting caught rather than for committing the burglary. This. could all be enlarged upon: but let us compare some "enforce ment" in America with some other countries. ' 1. Cleveland in isis wun only one- tenth the population of London, had twice as many murders as London had. Los Angeles in 1917 with only one-twentieth the population of London, had 10 more murders than London In 1922. bad 17 homi cides, only 9 of which could be chargeable as murder. New York in 1921 had 260 murders, and Chi cago had 137; while throughout all England and Wales there were only 63 murders.

But let us credit him with good intentions both in his official du ties end in his talk before the club he was addressing; and, yet, with equally good intentions examine the situation ax to enforcement of oth er laws. It is a matter of common obser vation and notoriety that there Is but little pretense toward obey ing automobile laws; and that lit- cago the same year 2417. Burglary In 1921.. in all Eng land and Wales 113 persons were tried for bnrglary, and 105 or 92.8 per cent convicted. In New Tork ccanty, there were 2,660 burglaries reported: 565 tried, and 349, or 61.5 per cent, were convicted. Henry Barrett.. Chamberlin. mem ber of the Chicago -Crime -commission, read a paper before the Am erican Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology In 1920. He called t:e is mora ior sen pro.ecuuu attention to the appalling lack of from any regard for the other fel-,,aw (o memetll m Chicago rela-lew-s rights.

In 2? of the principal cities, inj lnr0 tv5re were 30.046 automo-; biles .? .-' n: cne in each 30 regts- tered In New York; one in each , 22 in Chicago; and one in each 31 in Cleveland. i In Los Angeles in the first three' months of 1922, there were 940 automobiles stolen ot an estimated, value of 3673,000. A large pro portion were recovered by the police but all with some accessories gone or otherwise damaged or wholly wrecked. I Thefts, roberies. burglaries etc. in general are about as common as jazz music, and successful prosecn- Hons about as rare as patriotic or' melodious music. See below tor1 some percentages of conviction. The statistics given below have been gathered from numerous au-! thorities. Including Hon. James M.I Beck, Solicitor General of the Unit ed States, formerly United States' Attorney General; Charles Freder-I Ick Carter, a Current History writer: reports cf the American Bar associa tion; Mayor Devers of Chicago: Los Angeles police statistician, and other reliable sources. ' Some losses by theft, burglary and hold-ups: Boston in 1920, 11.-' 630.009; Baltimore In 1919, $1,-; 347.402: Washington in 1920 i tl.00S.875: Chicago In 1921, $3..; 974.326. It is estimated by expert authority that in this great land of liberty, including the liberty or right to own personal property,1 there is annually stolen, with and without violence the neat little sum of I302.78S.000. This for the most part by professional thieves; and does not Include any of the millions obtained by fraud. Let us consider enforcement, or Impossibility of enforcement.
