CANTON IS NOT THE WICKEDEST IN THE NATION Many Other Small Cities Like II, und All of Them Are More or Less Like IlJ Very Prohahly BLOW WELL AIMED j With Civic Governnienl Contaminated, Under-! world Struck at Second Agency Orderly Society ROIIKKT T. SMAl.l. I ICwrfilKl. ins. ? ,???> .Canton, Ohio, July 2i Canton la Dot the wickedest illy In Ameri ca. It Is bill a way station. fir [kim albly what railroad men would call a division point on a national highway ot crime. If the recently organized Na tional Commission for the Study ! and Prevention of Crime would Quit its headquarters in New York j and come to Canton It would get i some really valuable Information It would get a first hand view of crime in the rough. It would find itseir at an outpost or a cross road i of criminality. It would learn that the study of crime will not he sat isfactory If centered only In cities like New York. Chicago. 1'hlladel-. phla and San Francisco. Canton ' which has sent a red glare into ! the national skies these last few i days, ha* proved that vice and crime have their bony-handed clutches on the smaller cities and ! even the villages, and only th most sweeping arousal of public sentiment ever will be able to break the sinister hold. And worst of all. crime here in } Canton has struck at the very agency of public sentiment. Crime has boldly attempted to intimidate the Nation s press; has said that he who would turn the complacent .. ?f.jUl|tlr? against the vice ring must pay for his temerity with his life, his all. It has been well said In connec tion with the slaying of Don Mel Jett. the Canton editor, that the | nm agency of 'an orderly society ; Is government. The second agen- i ey. or possibly a corollary agency. ,hG newspaper, for without the ' newspaper to guard and guide pub- i 11c opinion, government would be deprived of Its greatest. Its essen fcJ.nl support. That L why the ?Bewtpapeie Of the country regard V"1' Canton case as one calling for the focusing of a public opinion which will not be satisfied until J the -underworld" has been shown 1 that It can neither control nor si- 1 lence an agency which supports government and stands between 1 fhe people and anarchy. The "underworld" must be made to understand that where th?' foflce sleep, the press Is awake ?nd alert :Vhat where courts com fromlse with crime, the press tands as warden for the even hand of justice. Crime Well Organized Canton is evidence that crime in America Is a sort of chain store affair. It is indeed a vicious cir- ' cle. Canton is not an isolated ul-i cer. Crime hero Is hut the out ' ?ropplng of an infected hlood ! ?treani poisoning the life or the nation Crime today Is a hlghly ?r*Mifcd affair. It Is unfortu-i aatelr . bet ter organized lhan the police system, or rather its system or co-operation functions on a bet ter scale. Communities sud com missions are too prone to regard crime as local. It Is far from that. The vice rlVig In Canton links up Cl??.l?.,?hrtrv-In"". Akr""' In Cleveland. Yotingstown.

Police departments everywhere are cognisant of the rising tide of crime. In. virtually every Ameri can city today pleas are being made for a larger and better paid police fpree. New York recently added something like J.000 cops Pittsburgh has been demanding at Ita.t 600 more hluecoats. i Washington but recently con vinced Congreas of the need of sev ersl hundred additional men y Cantou perhaps has been more eom placement than some other com i unit lea. That Is what stirred Mellett to action. That la what qadc him prefer charges against the chief of police and have him aespcnried. only to see him re gored through political Influence.

Tuesday ami Wednesday, it was announced today. In stead of playing a post sea son series of five games, as had been decided upon originally, it Is announced that the two nines' will fight it out on the basis of the best four out of seven games. Present Indications are that Thurs day's game will be played In Hert ford, and the subsequent game* in this city. The games here will begin it & o'clock. The decision to play virtually all the games here was prompted by the fact that Hertford fans ap parently attend games In this city better thau at home. It is understood that Kderiton's baseball team will be disbanded ilt once, but that Coleraln will con tinue to play, probably with Ahos kle and other clubs on the other side uf the Chowan Itivcr. In pre* paratiou for the series beginning here Monday. Hertford has taken over Kdenton's star pitcher. John son. confident that with him in the line-up. they can win the cup. Elizabeth City, too, is reported to be carrying on negotiations for one or more pitchers, though mem bers of the basoball associations were reticent on the Huhjoct today.
