If not a like. relative proportion would be found in the criminal statistics of these respective countries in relation to crimes be: low the grade of murder. And to what shall -we ascribe this astounding disproportion in the number of murdersthe greatest crime known to menin this and other countries of similar advancement. enlightenment. and general civilization to that of our own? Is it due to the existence of bad laws or the inefficient enforcement of good ones. to the increased and increasing number of adventurers. "deadbeats." malefactors. and criminals who have immigrated and are still coming from other countries to ours. to the heterogeneous character. the antagonistic elements. and immiscible components of our variegated population? Is the lawlessness of which we complain and by a contemplation of which we should be awakened and alarmed due to any or all of the causes we have enumerated? I apprehend that all of the suggested causes are contributing factors in producing the lawlessness and crimes of which we complain.
