"I'm convinced," he said, "that that trouble in this country lies. in the judiciary, We have the most pedantic system of law in the world. It's God-awful. In Illinois a murderer, after con- viction, has 25 to 1 chance that he won't be hanged. In England it's 25 to 1 he will be. Imagine the imbecility of sending a man Ilke Machine Gun Kelly to prison for fe. Hang him and have done with him.
"We've got to Ro back to old-fashioned hanging to get any where, We ΒΙΟ developing tremendous class of boys who almire gunmen and brutes of various kinds. Such nonsense as women sheriffs. We have no pro per civil service for jailers. Three fourths of them are dumber than their prisoners and- just as crooked."
WHEN THE BILLS COME IN,
Mr. Mencken" said he doesn't understand what President Roosevelt is going to do next year "when the bills start coming in."
"We're not heading for Com minism," he said. "I think we're headed for Fasciani. Not the kind in Italy and Germany. It will be worse here, because the blackguards will be in the van. We're definitely headed for a man on horseback. I'm sorry about it, but there's nothing I can do it the moment. I have yet to be convinced that the new gang in Washington is any better than so many Wiggins. I don't mean they're thicven They're Just unwise. I wouldn't trust my money in their hands."
BOOB SHOW.
Mr. Mencken intends to act to work soon on revising his book. "The American Language," con- sidored by many to be his most Important work.
"And I want to do some active newspaper reporting," he added. "The United States produces boob showa nt the rate of nine or ten- 20 year. It's either a Scopen trial, a Congressional Investiga- tion or an International Con- ference. I glory in such things,"
