(Habitual Lawbreakers Should Be Prevented From Having Children, Says Chief Justice Oleson of Chicago. sheriff fails to apprehend or th prosecuting attorney fails to prosecute, the people of the county are helpless until the next election.

No state authority can. either suspend or remove any sheriff, prosecuting attorney or any other local official. No power exists whereby the stale can send any of its officials into the county to assist in preserving peace and order. Unless the emergency is grave enough to warrant sending the National Guard, the stat and the people are helpless. What are the results? A condition of lawlessness that borders on anarchy: the growth of intolerance of law and distrust of constituted authority; the un-American method of taking the law into private hand, worse still the growth of a public cynicism, the evil of which cannot be measured.

The abject failure of the state and local authorities to enforce the law is causing a cynical disregard of any restraint which is one of the danger signals of the time. i State Tolloe Proposed. The best machinery for law enforcement by state authority yet devised is a state police force. A state constabulary is the remedy, so far as remedy exists in the powers of government, against lawlessness. Such a police force can be trained.

It is not balked by a county line. It can police and protect the state highways. It can enforce the fish an I game laws aid outlaw the moon-shiner. It would have no local, perirenal or political tntanglements, Jt would be of especial value in preventing riots and disorder. It would have no fear of proceeding against It would be an ever-rres vit protection against lynching.

It would command and receive respect. In operation, such a force would practically nay its own way, even leavlm? out ef.foMf 'deration its great vain as peace efficcrs. It should be very n.celcrate force during ordinary "mcs, but capable rapid expansion in times of need. It should be under nor -political control. Its scl reason for existence would then be to enforce the law equally and equably In every rounly In the state, and without fear or fa von to protect evtry citizen In ine ercise of to life, liberty nnd property.

Continued ordered rule of law is in process of degenerating into mere personal license. The law all the law should either be enforced, or the obnoxious part repealed. It would be fruitless to attempt to assign a cause for this condition. Probably there are a great many contributing factors. Suffice it to say that, unless the state enforces the laws written on the statute books the state has its foremost duty, and abdicated its primary func tion.

Irohibition law Flaunted. It is notorious that the liquor laws are being flagrantly violated. This is bad enough in the cities where local sentiment does not sustain the laws themselvesi it is intolerable in the country' where public opinion demands enforcement. Certain facts stand out challenging attention: First. Both the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Missouri contain absolute prohibition of the sale, manufacture or transportation of intoxicating liquors.

Second. Every public official is under a sworn duty to uphold and maintain both the constitution of this state and of the United States. Every citizen of this state is under the implied obligation of his citizenship to obey the law, whether he agrees with it or not. Third. The State of Missouri has enacted an enabling act to back up jts constitutional provision as to prohibition, and the federal government has enacted the law known as the Volstead act.

These provisions are the laws of our country and must so remain until they are amended. modified or repealed. Every citizen has a right to his or her opinion as to the desirability and practicability of these provisions, but no citizen has a right to violate them no matter hat his personal views may be. Fourth. If the state and national governments do not attempt to enforce these laws, then they are guilty of gross neglect of their sworn duty and government by law has abdicated its functions.

This must remain the duty of government until the law is changed, modified or repealed. Favors Enforcing the law. The whole subject is one of extreme difficulty, but I am constrained to believe that It is the duty, both of the state and of the cation, to enforce these laws, leaving such enforcement to prove either the necessity of amendment or the desirability of repeal, whichever course may be developed. As long as the Volstead law remains on the books, it Is not so much a question of the desirability of the Volstead law as it Is the question of whether government by law and ordered liberty under the law shall prevail. The law may be wrong, but it is on the books; it cannot be explained away and.

it ought not to be abrogated by executive negligence. It is America, and not the Volstead Act which is on trial. Arson Too Common. The insurance companies tell us that arson is responsible for 50 per cent of their losses. Yet these losses are paid by soaring premiums, taxed against the whole people.

How-rare has a prosecution for arson in Missouri become during the last ten years? During the last five years the people of Missouri have paid to stock fire insurance companies alone in net premiums. The losses of the insurance companies during the same period have been $45,066,124. If 50 per cent of the losses are incendiary (and this is the percentage commonly estimated) then the state could pay the insurance companies twice the amount of their respective bona fide losses and still save $36,000,000 In the five-year period, or $7,200,000 a year. Drifting of Bill Awaits Indorse ment of Proposal by Central Union. The Building Trades Council at 2651 Locust street last night voted unanimously in favor of a primary' system for the selection of dele- gates to party conventions in which I candidates for the Board of Educa tion are nominated.

A bill for such a primary system will be drafted by a lawyer as soon as the Central Trades and Labor Union has indorsed this movement in Its meeting on January 14. The legislative committee of the latter organization will recommend the acceptance of the plan, according to Maurice J. Cassidy, secretary of the council. This will be the first action undertaken jointly by the two labor bodies, since they agreed about a month ago to have a joint committee for the purpose of acting In harmony in all matters concerning labor with the exception of wages. A similar bill, which -was regarded as favoring politicians, was defeated in the last legislature, accords Ing to Cassidy.

Friends of the new bill say ft will eliminate politics from selection of board members and Insure only desirable candidates. Tha present method of selection of candidates is by caucus of party committees. What Bill Proposes. It is proposed in the new bill that in each ward one delegate for every 700 registered voters shall be elected in the primary to the convention which will nominate the candidates for the school board. Such primary Is to be held four weeks before the regular municipal spring election.

Nomination of candidates through petitions is provided for 'at the same time, so that case undesirable candidates are selected in the convention, others acceptable "to the voters still can be placed on the ticket. The entire proposed bond issue also was unanimously Indorsed by the Building- Trades Council after a report of a special committee, which had been investigating the different items carefully, had been read. The proposed increase In wages for carpenters from $1.10 to $1.25 an hour, effective next May 1, and of increases for carpenters' foremen from $1.25 to $1.376 an hour was approved, as predicted exclusively by The Star some time ago. Other wage increases were approved in last night's meeting as follows: Marble and tile setters' helpers, effective next April 1. from 67 '4 cents to 85 cents'an hour; stone derrick men from 80 to 90 cents to 90 cents and $1 an hour; journeymen stone cutters from $1 to $1.25 an hour.

i The Elevator Constructors' Union, which was the first building trades organization to accept a wage cut voluntarily from $1.25. to $1.10 an hour, have obtained again their old scale of $1.25 an hour, effective since January 1, it was learned today, while the wage scale of their help ers has been increased from 75 to 85 cents an hour; Other Demands Approvexl. It was further learned today that the Carpenters' District Council and the Bridge Ornamental and Structural Ironworkess have submitted their demands for the approved wage increases to the Master Builders' Association. Stone masons, who have been receiving since last spring $1.50 an hour through a bonus of 25 cents an hour, the regular scale bein $1.25 an hour, are now negotiating to establish $1.50 an hour as the regular wage scale. Shortage In experienced stone masons and the fact that this trade always has received the same wages as the bricklayers, are the causes for the high wage rcale for this trade.

Our hills are being denuded of geme, our streams depopulated of fish. Much greater effort has been put forth in the last two years to enforce the game laws of the state, resulting in 1.004 arrests, 671 convictions, with 296 cases rending, yet the violations continue.

The local officials rarely attempt either prevention or prosecution of violations of game laws, and the deputies the fish and game department are inadequate. Use of National In lynching and riots, both the state and the local people are helpless. Nowhere is there any effective agency for enforcement of law and maintenance of order except the National Guard. The state owes an inescapable duty to the public to preserve peace and order. To fulfill this duty with the National Guard la cumbersome and unbearably expensive.

It would be infinitely better to prevent disorder than to quell a riot. The guard can never be called out until conditions have become serious; usually not until after great damage has been done. The National Guard should be callfd out only in the gravest emergencies. Road Building. The state highway system proceeding toward construction speedily.

Already there Is $20,000,000 worth of work under contract and hv midsummer there will lie in road contracts let. covering every county in this state. During the coming blennium a large mileage will be completed. The whole system will be maintained. Laws governing the use of these road will have to he passed.

ITow Is this system, which is to cost before It Is finished, to be policed? The local jurisdictions stop at county boundaries. How can criminals In high-powered cars ever be apprehended by local officials with their limited jurisdictions? There are many other considerations Involved In the problem of law enforcement which do now, and will in the future, confront us. The enforcement of the liquor laws, the protection of property against arson and incendiarism, the preservation of our fish and game, the maintenance of law and order during times of violence and disorder, the protection of the state highway system how are these problems to be dealt with? Weakness of law Enforcement. It is the weakness of government generally of state and county government particularly which Is responsible for most of the lawlessness In this country. Citizens; generally do not realize how small are the powers of their 'state officials.

Under the scheme of government in Missouri, the enforcement of the law is vested entirely in the local authorities. These authorities sheriffs, marshals, constables and prosecuting officials, are generally untrained in their work. They are all elected locally and share the common desire of mankind to offend none of their constituents. Their jurisdiction is confined to the boundaries of their county. The law-does not make it their duty to ferret out crime.

It is not necessary to cite Instances. Every one of us knows of dozens of instances wherein one or all of these officials, through indifference, political obligation, or downright bargaining, neither desire nor attempt to enforce the law. No law can be enforced without the co-operation of-three officials the sheriff, the prosecuting attorney and th court. When one or all of these three fails, anarchy results. Slate's Hands Tied.

The state government has no power over any of the three. Let It be assumed that in moft instances the courts will do their duty. If the1 -at- Brockman Expects" Tomorrow to Name Man Whose Bullet Wounded Three. A meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners and Gus O. Nations, chief prohibition enforcement officer in St.

Louis, to consider the. New Year's Eve raid on Hotel Chase by federal agents and policemen under the direction of Nations, was held at police headquarters this afternoon. Chairman Brockman of the police board said that at 10 a. m. tomorrow-he probably would issue a statement as to who fired the shot during the raid which resulted in the wounding of three persons.

Brockman made his announcement after a conference with Chief of Detectives Hoagland. The detective chief refused to make any statement regarding Hotel Chase affair, other than to say that he would report to Chief of Police O'Brien and was not at liberty to talk. Three federal dry agents and nine city detectives took part In the raid. All of the dry agents and eight of the detectives have denied that they fired the shot. Edward Sullivan a detective, two of whose ribs were fractured during the raid, refused to say whether he fired the shot.

He was seen yesterday at his home, 4565 St. Ferdinand avenue, by a reporter for The Star, but refused to go into the case, except to say he had made 'his report to Chief of Detectives Hoagland and that if anything were given out it should be by Hoagland. The Search Warrant. The search warrant on which the raid was made was issued on appli cation Nations, who stated that on October 3 he saw one quart bottle of whisky and two 'pint bottles of wine in the dining room of Hotel Chase. George V.

Berry, United States commissioner, who issued the search warrant, said: "Nations had a right to get a warrant on an application alleging incidents of October 3. The law presumes that the condition continues to exist until the contrary is shown, and the "commissioner can issue a search warrant within a reasonable time." The application for the search warrant stated that Nations had reason to believe that Chase Ulman. chief stockholder in the hotel, had in his 'possession, custody and control In a building at Kingshighway and Lindell boulevards (occupied as a hotel, dining-room and saloon) certain quantities of intoxicating liquor, to-wit, "whisky, wine, beer, gin and rum." The application than gave as a reason for this belief the statement that Nations personally saw liquor in the dining room on October 3. He applied for a search warrant to enter the premises, and "particularly the dining room and saloon" on the first floor of the building, and to search the place "and all containers Berry said this afternoon that he was positive the application for the warrant was made after midnight on New Year's Eve, and Nations said he made the application about 12:30 a. m.

Anti-Proliibltion Meeting. A meeting of the Missouri Association Opposed to the Prohibition Amendment was held this afternoon in the offices of Boyle Priest, Central National Bank Building. -The meeting was private. Executive members of the association atetnding the meeting elected two committees, one to draw up a resolution protesting against the unlawful method of enforcing the Volstead law. and the other to arrange a general mass meeting to be.

held at the Coliseum, probably next week, to obtain public opinion of recent raids made by federal prohibition agents in St. Louis, and to explain the prohibition law to the public. A final meeting will be held Sat- urday morning at 10 o'clock, to draw up the resolution. HenrTril Big Uaaee Hit Iteduced S40 Pben- lain far all New Columbia 'A CHICAGO, Jan. 4.

(By U. Chief Justice Harry Oleson of the Chicago Municipal Court, In a letter to a me-mbjr of President Harding's cabinet today, urged the necessity of fed rai co-operation in the move for sterilization of habitual criminals. Oleson is president of the research bureau of the Carnegie Foundation and a student of criminal heredity. "We must make our duty to posterity a part of our religion," Oleson declared in an interview. "The Chinese worship their ancestors.

We should worship posterity. "Sterilization laws have been passed In fifteen -states and effort are being made to get similar laws in other states. "The habitual criminal, in many cases, is the product of heredity. He is a to the race and should be barred from the produci tion of offspring. "Sterilization should apply to morons and others who suffer from the hereditary taint which causes the criminal tendency.

"In Illinois -we are fighting for a segregation law as a first step toward effectiveness of municipal "As an agency of citizen inquiry, however, the bureau urges that every opinion and argument, for or against the bond issue, be subjected to rigid fact tests. It will, therefore, publish such facts as it has ascertained regarding service performed, results accomplished and cost of present and proposed activities. Its purpose wify.be to help citizens answer their own questions as to how far and in what directions, the city should be authorized to create new indebtedness and to impose heavier tax obligations. "In the pursuit of its main purpose, the bureau has collected a good many facts that have direct bearing upon questions involved in the pending bond proposals. By presenting such facts to the community in briof and intelligible form, the bureau assumes that it will perform a proper public service; leaving the interpretation of these facts to the citizens of St.

For the interest and principal of the $76,000,000 proposed for projects other than the waterworks, the General Council of Civic Needs estimates the total tax requirements at $121,000,000. Comptroller Nolte estimates the amount as $114,000,000, "Besides this primary or investment cost of the proposed improvements, however, there will be added cost of operation and maintenance which certain of the projects will make necessary. To what extent the city can increase its tost of operation and still remain within the legal limit of its tax rate is a matter to which little or no attention has thus far been given. "The maximum tax rate in any year to provide these interest and principal payments on the bonds, according to the General Council, would be 4 7 cents per $100 of taxable property; according to Comp- Specials 35( Butterscotch Pecan Layer Cake Friday onlv. 60c Tea Rooms Elevator to Second Floor Tea Booms, with delightful sur- i sterilization.

Burks, discussing the series, said every effort would be made to present the data in an unbiased way, but that there is information which should go to the people in connection with the campaign in behalf of the bond issue. The statements that have been prepared or are under way will number some sixteen to twenty, according to Dr. Burks. All of them will be reviewed and approved by the board before being published. They will include consideration of the dire needs of various improvements, the cost of maintenance after they are made, limitation of the bonded indebtedness In connection with trie $76,732,500, which is the amount applying as limitation of the amount of bonds the city can issue.

ASYLUM AT FULTON CROWDED FIRE TRAP Continued front Page One. for hydrotherapy and no equipment for electro or thermotherapy. Convict Hospital Needed. "To begin with, we need a hospital for the criminal and convict Insane, so that innocent patients would not associate with homicides, pyro-maniacs, persona with homicidal or suicidal obsessions, and convicts who are transferred from the penitentiary.

Such an institution should be located in Jefferson City under control of the eleemosynary board. "Our next step should be the establishment of a psychopathic hospital, centrally located, to which institution all insane persons first would be admitted. There the cases could be studied and classified. Fer-sons suspected of cure should be kept there for treatment and the Incurables should be routed from that point to the institution in which they belong. "Many persons are committed to the state hospitals as the result oC having had typhoid fever or influenza who should not be In these institutions.

Some are discovered and cured; some, because of congestion and our limited medical staff, are overlooked in the shuffle and, consequently, forever lost to society. This would be averted if we had a psychopathic hospital. It would also save many persons who become temporarily deranged, from going through life -with the stigma of having once been confined in an asylum. 1.000 Acres of land Needed. "We need more land, and an occupational therapy building at once.

Occupational therapy affords the one great hope of restoring reason. Because our entire space is used for sleeping quarters, we are without a place to install equipment on a large scale and, consequently, have but 100 patients engaged in this work. There are 550 more persons who should be engaged in it. "In addition to these, there are 550 patients who should be at work out of doors. If I had an additional 1.000 acres of farm land I could employ every one of those patients.

If the state will give us these things w-e can restore scores of unfortunates to society." Dr. Young, an assistant physician who hf devoted many years to the study cf the insane, also discussed conditions in the institution. Cannot Study CaesL "We cannot study the individual cases because we are so crowded that classification is impossible." Dr. Young The manner in which the pa ionts are jammed together, like so many sardines, is shocking. Sanitation is essential in the treatment of mental diseases and real sanitation here is impossible.

'If we did not get the patients out of doors so they could have fresh air at- every opportunity we would have a heavy toll of sickness and death as a direct result."
