J’ SWANN'S testimony before the Curran Coinmittee ba the Market Commiss dy great bdeae bat ele the Board of Aldermen renews the ancient controversy be tween the courts and the police administration as to which is| responsible for the comparative immunity granted to criminals. He} charges that the police are to blame, saying: \ ‘a mincing words, Crime is more rampant in this city now than it has! ever been in recent years. But while crimes are more numerous there are fewer arrest Some of the siatements of the Judge in support of his charge are so surprising 28 to cause laughter at the absurdity of such offences | in a city that has any police at all. Thus, in describing the organized aystem of larceny from trucks, he says one dealer told him of a loss of eight trucks with contents and horses in a single day. Further- | more he asserts his knowledge of one hundred recei of siolen goods | whom he hopes some day to bring to conviction. | be All this would be convincing enough were it not so easy to recall | There is no use} wer if \ ' | either do not punish at all, or impose light sentences, or suspend sen- tence, upon crooks whom the police have arrested and furnished « dence to convict. | The controversy has been going on for a long time, and is| decidedly unpleasant for everybody except criminals. If the Curran | commitee can find out which side is right in the controversy it is to Le hoped it will also seek some way of stopping the wrong. ——_-+ THE SCHOOL, THE CHILD, THE PARENT. O': of the current discussion of school problems has come « | its blue: revelation that in some cases parents have been known to be lax in the care of their children because they wished them committed to institutions and so be relieved of them, It is recom- mended us a means of putting a stop to such practice that the burden ys and penalty of truancy hereafter be placed on parents. When laxity of parental supervision no longer brings relief, it is argued that in} eelf-interest parents will be more attentive to their dutics. The issue is interesting ae an illustration of the complexity of | problems that have grown up around the original simple one of pro- \ * viding {rge schools for all children.
