the case in view of the fact that paroling
power was vested in the board of managers

ernor. DIR. William Wands, Smiths step
father, and Mrs. Wands. his mother, never
lost hope however. and continued working
for Smiths release. Their reward came

Governor Mount does not approve the
action of the parole board of the Indiana
Retormatory in parolng Winnie Smith. He
was Informed by a Journal reporter yes
terday that this action had been taken.
He was very much surprised and seemed
disappointed.
Il would not have taken such action, =
said he. II was asked to parole him IL year
ago but did not think that the case war
ranted it. ! hope that the board will be
cautious in granting paroles" continued the
Governor. There is grave responsibility
placed on the board by the ndeterminate
sentence law, and there is danger of abuse
unless the law is most carefully adminis-
tered. l hope the parole will not be extern
sively granted
Governor Mount said that the law could
not be well amended so as to reduce the
discretionary power of the board. Whether
1t is properly administered in the spirit of
its beneficial intentions depends largely on
the character of its administration. The
boards action is entirely without the juris-
diction of the Governor

In Iceland there are no prisons and
the inhabitants are SO honest in their
habits that such defenses to property as

nor are there any police in the island.
Yet its history for 1000 years records
no more than two thefts OF these two
cases one was that Of native, who was
detected after stealing several sheen.
but as he had done SO to supply his fam
lily, who were suffering for want Of
food, when he had broken his arm, pro-
visions were furnished to them and
work was found for him when able TO
do it, and meanwhile he was placed IN
der medical care. but the stigma attach
cd to his crime was considered sufficient
punishment.
The other theft was by German.
who stole II sheep.
But as he was in comfortable circum.
stances and the robbery was malicious
the sentence passed upon him was that
he should sell all his property, restore
the value of what he had stolen and
then leave the country or be executed,
and he left at once. But though crime
is rare in Iceland and its inhabitants
are distinguished for honesty and puri-
ty of morals there is, of course, provi-
sion for the administration Of Justice.

III s courts; next, by appeals to the |
court of three judges at Reikiavik, the |
