June 16, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 mn The Voter's Column By Hoyt King the witness stand yesterday to tell the part he plays in the politics game and of election terrors, of felonies waived, and of gangsters freed by writs of habeas corpus.' "Private citizens are making an in- If Charles Dickens were here today to write "American Notes," he would say: "I am thrilled at the tremendous physical and cultural growth of the United States since my visit in 1842-- this, in spite of bad political conditions. Crime and administration of law in the republic are about what existed in England in the time of the despicable Judge Jeffreys 300 years ago, maybe not so far back. "The Chicago papers for the past week have to say: 'A junkman was seriously wounded by an unknown assailant, who fired a fusillade of shells from behind the cur- tain of a touring car and sped on. 'When a jealous suitor had finished blazing away with his gun, his sweet- heart and his rival lay dead in the parlor. 'Two robbers today held up the Schulze Baking Company and escaped with $2,- 849. 'Nine bandits last night kidnapped John Wohl and three kept him prisoner until the six confederates early today finished looting his store of gems valued at $75,000. 'Mrs. Margaret Miller was robbed while returning from a movie with her daugh- ter. 'A middle-aged man bound Mrs. Smith to a tree on the pretext that she was to pose as an Indian captive about to be burned at the stake. Then he tor- tured her.' Sei "In each case the criminals escaped. While Chicago has 1,300 prisoners in jail awaiting trial, the judges are pretty busy trying each other.

"In view of above, what seems to be beyond explanation by the republic is this item: 'Public interest manifested in the selec- tion of eight of their judges yesterday was slight. The vote was less than one- fifth of what was available. In the entire county the total vote will probably not be found to have exceeded 300,000. In Chicago alone there are 1,228,000 regis- tered voters, while in the country towns, where, with three exceptions, registra- tion is not compulsory, there are easily 150,000 more voters.'" The greatest peril to the republic today is the indifference of the intel- ligent citizens toward matters of gov- ernment.
