There was never a time in the history of the country when crime was more rampant than now. The news of the day is fraught with accounts of murders, suicides and other bloody crimes, robberies, forgeries, briberies and all the perpetration in the catalogue of bandit and crime. And the reports of these criminal happenings that appear in the newspapers comprise but a small fraction of the whole number of the worst kinds of crimes committed every day. Comparatively few murders, for instance, are considered of sufficient news value to be transmitted by the Associated Press as general news, yet the number reported day by day would be appalling if the public had not become so familiar with the news of crime as to regard it among the commonplace events.
