EDITORIAL
THE COST
OF CRIME
——■- 1
We find in the current issue ol
“The Journal of the National Edu
cational Association," an article bj
J Edgar Hoover, under the captior
of “Tyue Cost of Crime,", that is wel
worth reading In this article
Mr Hoover gives facts and figures
in regard to the prevalence of crime
that should arouse every citizen ir
the country who wishes to see law
and order prevail andthe tremend
ous cost of crime minimized W<
quote:
“When we consider that there ar€
in America 3,500,000 persons whose
' chances in life have either been han
dicapped or absolutely ruined b>
theirf attempts to defeat the law, we
begin to understand what crime real
ly costs When we realize that
£hese 3,500,000 perpons annually rol
up a total of " 1,500,000 Serious
crimes each one of which affects the
victim in gome morale mental, oi
physical manner, we are shockcc
even more Beyond that, we must
consider the social and financial
wreckage brought upon an entire
family when one of its members are
sent to prison" ,
According to the figures quoted by
Mr Hoover the crime army of Amer
ica includes more than 700,000 boys
and girls of less than voting age,
who, at the very threshhold of life,
were cut off from worthy careers
Think of it, instead of being an as_
set to their communities and to the
country as a whole, they are a dis .
tinct liability both morally and eco
nomically It is not necessary to
read between the lines to realize
that the cost of crime is a ghastly
one and contineus to grow in magni
tude from week to week and month
to month Our laws are not being
enforced and we are leading in the
wrong direction' Unless somthing
is done to stay the hand of crime
the time will come and not far dist..
ant when the criminal courts will
be crowded with the young crimin..
als and many of them will land in
the state prison and wear the stripes
of the onvict Should this occur
there will be ittle hope of reforma
tion in their lives They will go the
way of the confirmed criminals who
have no hope for the future

Sanford to lajigthew tire eity school
term from eight to nine months by
issuing a supplmentary tax to take
care of the ninth month If the
money spent in the courts to sup -
press crime in the town could be
directed to the support of the
Bchools we believe that it would take
care of the increased cost of the
term We further quote:
“The time has come when proper
respect for law should be a prime
element of ail education, in the
church, in the home, in the school,
in the college, and in our daily life
Children sould be taught the filthi.
ness of crime They should be
shown the utter lack oif reward; the
fear in which a person must live if
he is pursued; the career of bribery
and underworld ehicanry he must
purse if he is to escape apprehen
sion Children mat be shown that
crime brings punishment and there
is no way to escape it“
