| Seattle and Vancouver Murder
(From the Vancouver Sun)
According to newly-prepared statisties, the United
States had an average of 8.5 murders per 100,000 of pop
ulation per annum as compared with Canada'’s 1.8 mur
ders per 100,000 of population per annum between the
. years 1912 and 1921.
. The yearly murder average per 100,000 runs 8.7 in Bos
ton, 1.7 in Montreal and 1.9 in Toronto.
But the really interesting averages are those of Van
" gouver and Seattle, 1.7 and 7.0 respectively.
. The populations of Seattle and Vancouver are very
" much the same. The difference between the people them
selves, their habits and their ideals, is very slight., Why
" then should Seattle have nearly five times as many mur
" ders a vear as Vancouver?
The only possible answer seems to lie the difference
. between American and Canadian systems of justice,
~ American justice doesn't get results, Canadian justice
_ with its non-sentimental bias and its disposition toward
" a rigid application of capital punishment in all murder
. cases, does get results.

~ ability to be a “good provider.”
. It's the old cave-man system: “Come with me, fair

fetch in plenty of meat and lick all comers.”

PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT IN SIGHT
BY MARY W. GREEN
Upon the Scotch broom's branches bare
Liko lances fell the sleet,
And March winds lashed with ley breath
And sped on winged feet,
The slender limbs In forture writhed,
And to the ground they bent;
But thankfully they rose again
After the storm was spent.
The yellow blooms sprang into life, ’
Lured by May's soft wiles,
Till hill and dale were all aglow
With glorious golden smiles.
The Soul, crushed, tortured, lashed and stung
By cruel woes was bent,
Writhing in agony, to earth;
But when the storm was spent
Lifted ngain her prayerful eyes; :
God's love and gentls rain
Of mercy woke hgr selfless self,
And cased the bitter pain.
And lo! around, below, above,
Shone sweet forgiveness and love.
