greatest good to the greatest num-
Der is feasible, it would appear
that in dealing with the criminal
as an individual and society as
whole. no better mode of proce-
dure could be adopted than this
plan of an indeterminate sentence
governed by the minimum and
maximum limits enacted by state
legislatures. And it would also
take serious and unpleasant duty
away from judges. Many a judge
has tacitly admitted, by after eff
forts to have a sentence committed,
that he had imposed an excessive
sentence through lack Of a knowl-
edge Of circumstances leading up
to an offense. And all prison Of
ficials throughout the country
know, from actual experience and
contact with men, that all men in
their charge are not nearly as bad
as their apparent records" would
lead one to believe on first sight.

may be very expressive in the
hands of our leading itterateurs,
but when jotted down in the I'M
poetical style usual to law forms,
though showing remarkable viril-
ity and decision of purpose in the
writer, is not always in keeping
with the better intent Of humane
principles as expressed when the
other side of the story is known.

THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE

The better class of earnest people
ones who take a real interest in
social problems-have concluded
that there must be a screw loose
somewhere when one man receives
five years for grand larceny in the
second degree, while another, on
the same day, is given one year for
the same offense in higher degree.
The question, naturally arises:
Was there sufficient Nervousness
in the committal of the lower crime,
or such extenuating circumstances
in the greater offense to make such
a disparity in the sentences just
None claim that any judge will
unjustly impose an excessive SEN
tence upon culprit, although
some not unreasonable stress has
been put on the theory that ''it
makes all the difference in the
world at what hour of the day
sentence is passed, and how the
Court enjoyed the matutinal or
midday meal, as the time may be. "
Then, again, we have the ques-
ton: Is the presiding judge al
ways able to get at the inside facts
as to what led to the crime?
Taking a liberal view of these
matters would it not be we'll to
give earnest thought to the indie
terminate sentence plan now in
vogue in some of the states? In
this state it is practically in force
under the reformatory plan
and parole system, and has been
so eminently successful here as in
other states that the former bitter
est enemies of the system admit
its practicability as one of the
best solutions of the criminal
problem. BY it's general enforce
ment, with proper cooperative ar
engagements between states, it
would be possible in reasonable
time to weed out all confirmed Of
tenders and keep them where thei1
muscular and mental propensities
may, at least, be diverted into
channels not injurious to society.

WE WOULD like to have a neat
little eight-page pamphlet con-

our astronomers and scientists do
not know about those sun spots
that are large enough to drop the
world into without scraping an
icicle from the north pole. We
have been reading SO much about
the dangers of the sun spots, as
also the possible collision Of old
Terra with a smooth young comet
surnamed Temples, that, not being
at all nervous, we are interested
and would like to hear t'other side
of the story. These scientific
gentlemen may ''do a pow O
good' for the world, but they also
succeed in making terrible prevar-
icators of one another, to say moth
ing of the agonies and premature
deaths they cause among ner-
vOus women.

ENCOURAGING COMMENT.

HE MIRROR owes a debt of
gratitude to the enlightened press
Of this country for the encourage
ment that has always been given
our efforts to show that there is a
good side to the character and am
bition of many of those who have
fallen by the wayside in the race
of life Though unable to make
mention of or comment on all the
favorable notices given The
MIRROR, we assure the editors of
the country that we thoroughly
appreciate the value of the good
words they have so cheerfully
given us. AS a stimulus to our
local contributors. and to show
that the bright minds of the coun-
try recognize an earnest motive,
regardless Of its origin, we quote
the following concluding para
graph from a lengthy write-up
recently given our paper by the
Rochester IN. " Democrat and
Chronicle:
The publication of THE PRISON MIR
ROR is one of the most cOmmendabIe
enterprises ever connected with a Pc
nal institution. 1t gives the inmates
something to think about, and some
thing to do, that cannot fail to be of
decided benefit to them. A prison
should always, so far as practicable,
be refOrmatOry in its influence, to the
end that the prisoner may be a better
man at the end of his incarceration
than at it's beginning. This is not sem
timent. 1t is common sense. 1t is as
emphatically for the interest of soci-
ETY. as for that of the prisoner. Mime
sofa evidently has enlightened and
progressive men at the head of its pc
nal system. We hope THE Prison
MIRROR is paying enterprise. 1t de-
serves financial success, because it is
an enlightener and an uplifter of a
class of people who need help, not only
for their own sake but for that of the
communities in which they must live
after paying the penalty Of their
rong-doing.
