AMERICAN LAW.
‘‘The chief defect of American institutions is generally admitted by American citizens to he connected with the administration of the law and the preservation of order,” writes Professor Robert S. Knit, C.8.E.. LL.D., 11 istriographer-Roval for Scotland, in the ‘‘Glasgow Herald.” ‘‘The British visitor to the Doited States at once recognise that police probelms are more difficult there than at Home. The enormous extent of the country and the- lack of racial homogeneity in thi' population, the existence of land frontiers, and especially of the Alo.xiean border, and the defects of a federal constitution, all create opportunities for the criminal. Co-operation among the States involves delay, and delay is a boon lo the wrong-door and a grave handicap to the police. There are other reasons, most of which are connected with the less pleasant side of American political life, and with the public attitude towards the law.
