HOMICIDE RATE INCREASE
The homicide rate in the South is al
most twice that of the country as a whole,
according to a recent statictical report is
sued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. For the country the rate is 9.2
per 100,000 population- The rate is lowest
in New England, these states having less
than two per hundred thousand. Florida,
with 26.4, is the highest, though Mississ
ippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana are
cither just above or just below the twenty
per hundred thousand mark. Leyington, Ky.,
Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., and
Birmingham, Ala., all had high rate—from
fifty to nearly sixty per 100,000. The high
rate in the South is explained by the sharp
increase of homicides among Negroes dur
ing the past few years. In the entire coun
try during the period from 1926 to 1930
more than eight times as many Negroes as
white men were slain per unit of popula
tion, and almost seven times as many Ne
gro women as white women. Two-thirds of
these homicides were due to firearms. De
claring that this alarming rate of homicides
is "the most acute symptom of a deeply
rooted national lawlessness which reflects
our historical backgrounds, racial mixtures,

industrial conflicts, limited educational sys

organization," the statistician recommends
the prohobition of sale of firearms and the
elimination of environments which encour
age crime.—Nashville Christian Advocate, i
MOLOCH RIDES
Wendell Gold Leaf Farmer.
We civilized creatures of the twentieth
century read with horror and loathing of
the* ancient worship of Moioch. Fcr into
the red hot maw of the idol god were toss
ed live infants. We shudder to think of
such barbarism, and yet in this year of en
l lightenment we sacrifice lives daily to a
grimmer and more hideous idol . The
great god SPEED,
In the daily press we see the mounting
totals by the week, month and year of those
whose lives have been snuffed out, those
who have been maimed for life, those who
have been made to suffer agonies needless
ly, and all that we may add a few miles per
hour to our headlong pace across the coun
try.
With our magnificent roads, and with the
modern, efficient, steel framed cars ade
quately equipped with braking power, we
should say that a speed of fifty miles per
hour is relatively safe for the conservative
driver. But we are in such a hurry that we
cant be satisfied with even this terrific speed
and must perforce go sixty or sixey-five
miles per hour, and so the terrible list of
the dead and injured mounts daily.
And there is a remedy—a safe and sure
remedy that can be applied and has been
applied—the automatic governor, sealed in,
and set for only a maximum such as may
be agreed upon by congress as safe. This
system has been adopted by some of the
largest truck fleets, and proven practical.
Why not adopt it for the United States by
congressional action? The only reason why
there is objection is that so many of us
want to go faster than is safe. And so we
continue to make sacrifices to the god of
SPEED.
