Excerpt from Evils and Remedies in the Administration of the Criminal Law: Address, Delivered Before the American Academy of Political and Social Science at Philadelphia on April 9th, 1910

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:

None of the many difficult problems that confront the present generation is more urgent or perplexing than the reform of the administration of the criminal law in our country. Our wealth and importance in the financial world have increased by such leaps and bounds that we have completely outgrown the laws which were enacted to meet the earlier conditions in our history.

It will be no easy task to secure the changes that are necessary to meet and curb the cupidity of the criminal rich, nor to enforce those laws when enacted.

Strange to say the chief obstruction to the administration of justice in criminal cases lies in the undue shelter afforded by our Constitution.

The prescribed remedies against crimes of violence are, on the whole, fairly administered, though there are still many abuses capable of correction. It is in the attempts to punish the crimes born of greed and cunning in the financial world that the machinery of Justice has broken down and the law is administered in a spasmodic and hysterical way.
