Men have been assaulted, robbed and killed on the street within a few hundred fee: of a policeman—and the murderers have escaped, Io Chicago the condition of lawless- ness and violence became so bad that the police “rounded up” all the crimi- nals of whose existence they were in- formed, kept the suspects under straint during examination and dismissed with a warning those could not lawfully be held, In almost every city in the country crimes of violence are increasing, Ev- ery year one person out of 10,000 living in our larger cities is murdered. Twen~ ty years ago it was only 20,000 and our murder record was even then shameful. ly bad. There can be no doubt that the serious outbreak of crime with which our cities are contending is one of the bad results that follow a period of war. Murder and robbery are far more common in European cities than tliey were in the days before the war, though nowhere, unless it is in Russia, is the death list so shocking as it is in the United States. Murder occurs most frequently in the cities that have a large negro or ‘an une assimilated foreign population ; which is only saying that it thrives among the less edicated and less firmly settled eles ‘ment of our population. Itis owing in many cases to causes of friction that do not exist in the more homogeneous cities of England, France or Germany. Bat in some instonces it attends on incapa- city or worse in the city government. There are cities in the United States where thugs and robbers and gunmen ere tolerated and, wherever possible, left unmolested, because they have influen: tial protectors—usually paid protectors ~on the police for or in the city govern. the city of New one a incide Of Many premeditated day. mtal y nial to re. then who HALL.
