During the past twenty years
no question has received a greater
variety of opinions than. "what shall
we do with our criminals?" Some have
advocated as the most perfect remedy
for evil doors, who menace society. to
lock them up behind prison walls and
punish them; deny them all the privil-
eyes of human beings; give them no
share of the worlds pleasures or enjov-
ments. Others have gone so far as to
advocate complete isolation from hu-

ant and narrow minded. Men of large
and generous natures, are disposed to
make allowance for the defects and
weaknesses of others; allowance for the
limited power of resistance of weak
and fallible natures to temptation and
error. The great Goethe, once said:
II see no fault committed, which 1 also
might not have committed" So, wise
and good people look upon the unfortu-
nate part of humanity, incarcerated be-
hind prison walls, as beings, who, in
the struggle of life were too weak to
successfully resist the temptations
placed in their way; and have, in their
whole souled generosity, looked about

Is there any more reason for poor
men having poor money than for
having ragged clothes, bad flour and
rancid butter? Is there any reason
why the poor should not have the
same standard of value as the rich,
just as they have the same Bible, the
same sunlight and the same atmos-
phere? For it is not the mere han
ding of gold that is of importance

wear out the gold. So long as the

the rich man, and when these are all
