THE liquor men are afraid that if the Governor's recommendation for increased license is adopted they can't stand it. The United States government has recently in- creased the tax on whisky to S1. 10 per gal lon. The State and county retail license is now S450, not including the city license. It costs about 5000 to open sa loon in Bir- mingham. This is about 10 per cent of the average sales of a saloon. The United States exacts special license of $25 from retailers and S100 from wholesalers. The wholesale house is taxed about S720. The State derives comparatively but little revenue from liquor license. Whisky is only sold in the larger towns of the State. Prohibition prevails in 70 per cent of the territory of the State.

GREAT ADVANCE IN pENoLoGY!

The science of penology Is making
rapid strides these days. Charles Dud-
icy Warner has discovered that the
best means of elevating the youthful
criminal is by strap about the wrists
with accompanying padding. Bishop
Potter has discovered that high moral
ideas are best inculcated Through the
hide" and now comes the esteemed
Sun with another discovery that goes
to the bottom OF the whole matter and
teaches society how radically wrong has
always been its method of dealing with
offenders against its rules.
Brutality of discipline, such as is for
hidden in the case of regular felons In
State prisons. is necessary, The Sun
says, In the Elmra ReformatOry, an
Institution devoted entirely to the most
dangerous class, the youthful adult
felons men below the age of thirty, the
period of n criminals life when he com
inits crimes of violence. acts upon his
fierce impulses and hears no voice OF
reflection or judgment"
At last, then. the enigma Is solved.
The whole trouble has been that ever
since the Elmira Reformatory was
founded we have been considering the
young men sent there az civilized and
reasonable beings. Because they were
all first offenders. young clerks who had
yielded to temptation, spoiled sons who
had lacked paternal control, lads led
astray for once by unfortunate associa-
lions. boys of the street driven by hum
ger TO petty theft, we have taken it for
granted that they were worth saving:
that they needed guidance and encour-
agement, rather than punishment. We
have thought to lead them by kindly
treatment to higher plane in life and
especially to save them from the fatal
brand of State prison.
But at last We are set right. These
boys and young men upon whom We
have wasted so much trouble are, To
quote The Sun, "a savage class of
felons," needing much more severe pun
ishment" than convicts in ordinary pris-
ons. 1t is the good, kind, easily man
aged, nice old habltual criminals who
should have had our pity and our help.
and not these youthful adult felons,
who, having committed but one offense.
are odthirsty for more.
Let this immemorial wrong be righted
at once!
Sing Sing, Auburn and desolate Dame
mora for the savage class of felons'
who have too long monopolized our kind
ness. For the professional thieves, bur
glars, highwaymen. murderers. poisoners
and wife-beaters. the peace and JOY OF
Elmira and Brockway!
