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.
Robbery In 1921, in all England
and Wales there were 91 robberies:

or advise others to disobey or des
troy such parts as they may not
like.
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. There were about j t(re , murder aD1 the Tarloa9 totm
three-fifths as many persons killed of theU a9 we , other crime9

American soldiers killed In battle in: methcds ,n whi.h the preceedIlIgg

About ,ooo more murders were f arther made theae and

ing the seven years from 1912 to
1918 than the total number of bat

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.
