Ourselves to Blame Whatever regret may he felt Governor Pnrnell's vein of Ihu hill fur a constitutional convention may properly be tempered wilh a nic-nsure of relief.

That tliu Arkansas constitution could bu improved to lit present day conditions is above question, bill whether the product of such a convention as was proposed would lie nil improvement is another matter. Perhaps, as Governor Parnell said, it will be better to wail until conditions have improved and the proposition may be attacked in cooler and more scientific fashion than would be likely now. Fundamentally it is not the constitution of Arkansas thai is responsible for the shortcomings of our government or the economic difficulties which we like to attribute to the government. In a democracy the faults of the constitution, the law, and of the government, are the faults of the people. They have the right and the power to correct wrongs from which they suffer, and have no one to thank but themselves for failure to do so.

If this writer ever heard a good word spoken of the Arkansas legislature liu fails to recall it. No group of men in this stale has been more condemned. A good part of the criticism has been just. The amazing thing is that while we recognize the evils we do nothing to correct them. We can have the kind of legislature we want when we are ready to supplant indifference and cynicism with positive and constructive action.

Just so in the matter of the constitution. When we find out what wo want and demand it we will get it. But to turn loose in convention a lot of small time politicians, chosen wilh no more cars than has been exercised in the choice of a good many members of our general assembly, to draft a now basic law for the stale of Arkansas, would get us nowhere. Perhaps a good many of us have the wrong point of view. We think of government as something that we ought to "get something out of." When quit expecting favors from government, mid instead demand simply good efficiency, and a sincere devotion to the general will make progress.

OUT OUR WAY Crime In Great Britain It must have been ft jolt to complacent Englishmen accustomed lo discussing over the lea tables Ihe frightful doings of American gangsters who jnit victims "on Ihe spot" and take others "for ride" to hear what Justice Mc- Cardie ol' Hie English high courl hatl to say the other day. Serious crime in Great Britain, according lo Justice McCurdie, is making an alarming increase. He points out that there is more house-breaking, shop-breaking, embezzlement and blackmail in England loday Ihan at any time during the last GO years. "In my view," said Ihe justice, "there are far more persistent criminals than in previous years. I am satisfied that the criminal loday is a cleverer man Hum the criminal of a ago." Slatistics bear out these statements.

In 1017-in England there were indiclablo offenses known to police. By the end of 1928 Ihe iigure had risen lo Rnl though in Hie former year persons were prosecuted, in 1928 there were only prosecutions. JMnjor General Sir Wymlliam Child.s, long chief of the detective branch of Scotland Yard, concurs with Justice Jlc- Cardic in his view of (he situation and adds: "The whole trouble is that ordinary respectable citizens receive all the attention which the police ought lo be giving to the professional criminal. Give the ordinary citizen more freedom from the clutter of petty offenses and let the police turn to the real menace to society." Americans, with nothing to boast of when the subject of lawbreaking is mentioned, can only deplore England's crime increase. With thorough appreciation of the seriousness of the situation, however, men and women in the United States can probably be forgiven for hoping that, facing the same problem, our British neighbors will be less inclined to judge life in America by tlie racketeers' warfare, by gun-girls and by Chicago's pineapple bombs.
