LESS CRIME AND QUICK JUSTICE Finger Printing Would Be Great Aid In Running Down . Criminal

If fingerprints were as compuisory as birth certificates thcre would be less crime in the United States and justice would be swifter, tl.e Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice believes.

Officialg admit, however, that the public will have to be educated to the idea before any federai fingerprint law can be passed. “Law-abiding citizens are beginning to realize that fingerprinting may mean death to a crminal, hut that it also may mean life and liberty to an innocent man, woman or child,” said an assistant to the bureau. . “A tourist losing his passport in a foreign country could mecre readily obtain a duplicate if hig f&ingerprints were on file in Washington. Every police station has finger printing equipment, and this can be done i 1 a matter of minutes. Ag soon as they are checked at headquarterg a new ‘passport could be issued without fur‘ther delay.”

Thig is not the only advantage of fingerprint registration for law-abid-ing citizens, it is pointed out. -

If there were sufficent demand by the public, fingerprints could be made at home and forwarded to headquarters but it would be far ca:ier to file the fingerprints ghortly afier the birth certificates and thereby, in thousands of instances, prevent crime rather than getect it, officialg argue. Human beings, many of them at least, would think twice before committing a crime if they knew that their tingerprints were on file at “Headquarters” and ‘lhat their conviction and punishment would be swift.

J. Edgar Hoover, Dire:tor of the Bureau of Investigation, says- “ Long since the time has passed when criminals hid in dark alieys or sulked in dark basements. The day of the mask and the dark lantern is over. Crime lives next dnor to vou. Crime dances with your sonss and daughters, These persons cf the under filth are not simpiy poor boys and girls or moral invalids, as rhe supersentimentalists would have us believe. They are marauders, who n.urder for a headline, rats crawling from their hideouts to graw at the vitals of civilizatiop. True, they are dressed as we are dressed; they live as we live and often bettr owing to th' rich rewards of their “prifeszion,”

but their standards of life are those of piggin a wallow, their outlook that of vultures.” Many Atitnded Centennial LaGrange celebrated her 100tu birth day Thursday and hundreds of visitorg from neighboring- towns and states, as well as most of thz “old timers’’ from the county gathered In town for the big day. ] The morning program opened with the pageant-parade, with around 40 elaborately decorated floats which depicted the history of the county from 1936 until today. A few of the highlights of the parade were the division of the county into townships, Indiana becoming & state, of first marriage in the community, the first Ladies’ Aid, first blacksmith shop, first school, first graduating class, earliest industries, the old singing school, stage coach, oxen team and covered wagon the circuit rider, the Pottawatomie Indiansg Ta‘Salle and his cortege first automobile and a dozen or more others. The address of the day was made by Rev. Charles Louig Deßow, M. E. pastpr in Kansas City and a former pastor here and at LaGrange.

Wheat PriCes Soar.

Wheat prices skyrocketed on the nation‘s leading grain exchangeg a 3 the northwest drought went unbroken and the department of agriculture issued a special crop report stating that “prospects for spring grains declined in the first half of June.” :

Wheat prices on the . Chicago board of trade were 3% to 3 5-8 cents higher within a few minutes after the release of the government report.
