Robbing post offices eeems to have become a business, aa 1.593 were robbed In the last fiscal year. In addition there were 940 robberies ol street and rural free delivery boxes, to say nothing of other depredations. Statistics of crime In general show a great increase In recent years. This, perhaps. Is In pan the result of more accurate statistics, but the incursion of certain classes of Immigrants has helped swell the criminal lisu. It la a condition of things which should cause something more than deep regret to every good cHlzgtf. Civilisation should lessen crime, and probably would do so were right methods followed. Habitual criminals ought not lo be turned loose to prey on the public. And yet. says the Philadelphia Press, the worst crimes committed are the work of old criminals. Hardly a week passes that some experienced convict Is not arrested charged with a serious crime. If such persons were kept under surveillance innocent persons would suffer less and crime Would not Increase out of all proportion to the population. The statistics of crime show that there is more of it In the United States, relative to population, than in England, France or Germany. There is too much leniency In the treatment of criminals In this country. There ought to be much less crime proportionately here than in Europe, but that is not the case. Politics has something to do with the toleration of offenders. If there were no political machines ruling cities there would be leas

crime.
