tive to manifest a true reformatory
spirit and act as check-rein on
evil propensities, which in confine-
ment have a tendency to develop.
The interest he has at stake in
complying with the conditions that
give him immunity from punish
ment are so vital that the offender
has every reason for using his ut
most endeavors to avoid influences
and surroundings that endanger
his liberty, which is the price of
their violation. The thought that
the worst fate that can befall man
awaits return to former habits,
could not but be productive of a
wholesome respect for every condi-
ton named in the allegiance that
saves him from the trademarks of
crime.
In combating suspension Of SEN
tence it is always urged that it
would be a loop-hole of escape for
the criminal classes proper, whose
knowledge of the weak points Of
law, gained from experience, would
enable them to devise means for
securing it's benefits, thereby de-
feating it's true object of protect
ing the accidental wrong-doer
The remedy for this objection
would be proof Of former good
character, of habits of industry,
sobriety and freedom from past
convictions. 1t is but necessary
to scan the criminal columns of
the press to find examples of this
kind, where friends, associates and
the acquaintance of social and
business life testify to the general
good character of an accused, and
intercede in his behalf. 1t is not
reasonable to believe that this
would be done if his character was
such as to warrant condemnation.
The confirmed criminal can never
produce this evidence. In his
habits he is migratory, and, by
reason of his shady calling and
lack of respectable connections.
utterly unable to sustain a sub
stantial claim to good character
In the case of an accused, who has
spent years of his life in and about
one community, it is not to be ex-
pected that he will relapse, espec-
tally when he has home, family
and financial interest in living ut
to the conditions imposed.
The sentence which deters crime
most serves justice best. All law
has for it's primary objects the
maintenance Of order, the protec.
ton of the citizen and the correc.
ton Of the wrong-doer. In the
discharge Of these functions il
should keep in view the one irrefu
table fact that when it brands its
victim it brands him beyond re-
demption, and refuses the proba
ton that might lead him to be-
come an honored citizen instead Of
a possible enemy to society.

Madison Lake Mirror.
A boy in Kansas has been sus-
pended for reading the following
essay on 'pants," says an exchanges:
pants are made for men and not
men for pants. Women are made
for men and not for pants. When
man pants for a women and a
women pants for man, they are
a,pair Of pants. Such pants don't
last. Pants are like molasses, they
are thinner in hot weather and
thicker in cold. The man in the
moon changes his pants during,
the eclipse. Don't you go to the
pantry for pants, you might be
mistaken. Men are often mistak-
en- in pants. Such mistakes make
breaches Of promise. There has
been much discussion as to wheth-
er pants is singular or plural.
Seems to me when men wear pants
they are plural and when they
don't wear any pants it is singular.
Men go on a tear in their pants,
and it is all right, but when the
pants go on tear, it is all wrong.
