In an old international prison congress
report, the inspector of prisons for the
island of Jamaica. speaking of remark
able decrease in the number of female con.
victs. says: Il attribute this entirely to the
fact that orders were given that the hair of
women committed for hard labor should be
cut close. There is nothing in the world a
negro woman prides so much; she feels the
loss of it severely, and it is quite common
practice for many of them now before trial
to have their hair cut off and put by until
they come out of prison. when they fasten
it on again.

Puck is brisk in most things. but when he
comes to psychological questions he limps.
To the question. why do they number
convicts?" he answers. because they we
lost their good Names" The reason is this:
There were so many Joneses. Smiths and
Browns registered in the prisons that to
avoid confusion it was necessary to give
each number; thus. Jones No. /, Jones
No. g etc. But as the population increased
names were dropped and each convict was
given number.

1.-THE CITIZENSHIP OF CRIME,

What is The Citizenship of Crime ?"
A writer contributes an article under that
title to the October number of the Chautau-
guam. In this article we find the meanest
spirit we have ever seen expressed in print
against the eX.convict. 1t seems to us
wolf clothed in the garments of Christian
charity. But perhaps it is the result of i'm
mature consideration and transformation.
We prefer to believe such to be the case.
The sum and substance of the article is,
that ex cOnvicts should be deprived of citi-
zenship. yet everything possible should be
done to help them to way of right living.
The author begins with depression from
the stated subject. and we will follow the
authors course in our comment. We will
quote extracts that contain the gist of the
article. The writer says:
The sickly sentimentality so often shown to.
ward criminals is not only weak but dangerous.
The man who has broken the laws of his state or
country has also broken the higher law; he should
not be candidate for favors from weak mind ed
women pstted by those who fail to discriminate
between petty offense and a positive crime.
Looking at the matter in the abstract our
views and those of the writer coincide. but
we deny that criminals are favored and
