(From the Winn: peg Telegram.) Last year there w committed in the 86 out of every 87 the extreme penalt times -as many mur as in England in pr tion. The United S re 8,967 murders nited States, and murderers escaped . There aro eight ers in that country portion to popula- ates has oyer sev- enty murders per million of its popula- tion; Italy has less than five per million; Canada has less that' eighteen per mil- lion. Statistics of c ime are interest- ing as pointing to th rise and fall in different countries, d perhaps indi- cating preventive m thods which may ameliorate the condi 'ons of the future. There is obviously so ething rotten in the administration f justice in the United States, and it seems on the face of it to be the fact hat the electric chair is more and m*e becoming the last resort of the law for capital offenc- es. As the terrors of death recede from the criminally inclined portion of the population it would seem that safe- ty of human life 1 decreases. The chances are eighty -sin to one that ev- eryone who commits murder in the United States will esbape death. This is a sorry comment o the much vaunt- ed civilization of oi4r neighbors. In evolving new methods of justice the United States is Poste. ing crime. There is a lesson Or Canada in all this. Here our mure er record is al- together too high at resent, and the only hopeful feature to which we can point is the fact that it is not showing aper grave increase. Reading of the n.i.taken sentimentality which has be- come only too great a feature of mur- der trials on the other side of the line, there may be a tendendy here, too, to let our sympathies get the better of our sense of justice This we must guard against. In the; effort to build up a virile people, strong physically, morally and intellectually, we must ad- here strictly to that administration of the law which has made British justice the synonym of safety the world over.
