HERE was one murder on an ayerage T every 34 hours last year in New York City, or 257 murders in all. In 70 of the larger cities of the United States there were 1,250 murders in 1911, and, taking the country as a whole, there were in the neigh- borhood of 9,000 murders in the tweive months, In proportion to the population there were five times.as many murders in the United States as in Italy, eight times as many as in Great Britain-and 15-times-as many as in Germany. Last year New. York secured one convic- tion in every nine murder trials; Chicago had the same percentage; i four, and San Francisco one in two.

Another phase, mittee found many. places OS eases. Not only is punishment for mur- der rare in the United States, but when it As inflicted it is long delayed. Of the mur- 'derers in 60 of the large cities in 1911 not one was executed in the vear that the crime was committed. In all the 70 cities under review there were only six murderers dealt within the same year that they committed their crime. These statistics sufficiently explain the movement that is now gaining headway in the United States, a movement for the re- form of-the-courts and the-overhauting: of the whole system of administering justice. Some critics insist. that the whole respon- sibility for a condition of affairs that has grown to a national disgrage rests with the judges themselves. They let. the lawyer run the courts, and in the matter of select- ing a jury, as the McNamara trial well, il- lustrated, would sit idly, by and permit months to be constimed. Soe . The eourts of appeal in many cases seem to suppose, that they exist for the sole pur- ose of finding technical flaws i ia -is-rarelyindeed, that no technical flaw can be found and the result is that most of the cases appealed are successful and new trials are ordered. Machine politics has set its mark not only on the police systems of the large American cities, but on the courts themselves, and the result is the ab- solute failure of justice as indicated by the Higures relating to murder. The prosect tion of the trusts is no such important work as the reform of the American judicial sys- tem, and there are signs that the people of the United States are becoming aroused to the necessity for drastic action. z SES AN EXCESS OF CHURCHES? Committee representing six of the Jargest Protestant denominations of church conditions in the west in connection with-the-home mission work of these de- nomiations. There are said to be 10,000 communities in the west which are absolu- tely without any church influences. It was largely to determine what should be done to reach such places that this commit- is now disclosed by the report that the ecom- which has 14 churches, 14 resident pastors and a 25,00( Y.M.C.A. building. ; Naturally, the eommittee was astounded at such lavish evidence of religious ferve and interest, but there seems to be a note of doubt as to whether quality has not been sacrificed to quantity in this and other like instances. And-yet such relative condit- ions are not uncommon throughout the en- tire country.

New York American Thousands of per- sous who gather along the Shrewsbury River to witness the annual ice boat and scooter races stared in amazement when something that appeared to be a rocket from the skies shot over the iee, passing the ice boats as if they were at a standstill. When the weird looking craft was brought to a stop at the north end of the course the crow 1 swarmed about the contrivance and Boston one in 0bile transformed into what may he cal- ee ed an autoscooter. The autoseooter was constructed by Fred Waters of Red Bank. 0: JUST A LITTLE FUN.

You go right upstairs and get down on your knees, she said, and tell God about that lion, and see what he says. . Presently Virginia came down. What did He say? asked the mother. Oh, said Virginia.
