Tin* f'hronicl? wants to commend
the police department for its efforts
in stopping the practice of autos racing
to aee who can 1m> first at a rtre
when the siren is sounded. They are (
publishing a notice in another place,
in this pa|>er to the effect that the regulation
will be strictly enforced..
Camden should get out of the hick
town class, and this is a mighty good
way to stop the racing to fires of fast
moving cars. At the sound of every
siren cars get in motion and not only I
hamper the firemen, hut in their mad I
race uru endangering the lives of pedestrians.
Making it Unpleasant for Criminals
New York State leads the way in
taking definite action to reduce crime.
Instead of passing new laws and
regulations to encroach upon the
rights and privileges of law-abiding
citizen*, it pussed the Baurnes law ire
l'Jlih, which automatically sentences!
a man convicted for the fourth time of j
committing a felony, to life imprisonment.
I
Naturally, there have been objec-1
lions to this law because it has
"teeth" in it, hut if crime is to ho)
reduced the number of criminals ami',
potential criminals must also be reduced.
There isi no excuse for a man ,
committing four crimes of a charac-;
ter to involve a penitentiary sentence.!
Why should the public be subjected to
the danger of meeting habitual cri-j
initials ?
New York has taken a step in the
right direction. It should be upheld
in its program to catch the crook,
keep him caught, hand him a fitting
sentence, and see that hu serves it.
Sentimental individuals claim thai
severe punishment does not deter the
riminal, but makes him hate society.
1 his apparently has not bedn the
' ase in New York. The certainty of
fo imprisonment foi a fourth felony
has stayed the hand of the hardened
criminal. He thinks twice before'
sentencing himself under such a law.'
What New York has done the rest
of the country must do if it actually
desires to overcome the criminal
elements: make crime not only un-i
profitable hut highly inconvenient i
and dangerous foi the perpetrator. j
