MISERY DOES NOT ALWAYS LOVE

WERE it the province or desire
Of the editor Of prison paper to
exploit the miscarriage Of the let
ter of the law as laid down by
statute, an excellent material basis
is now open for controversy. In

present two cases are receiving
attention wherein delays, appeals
and other extraneous impediments
are being utilized to the full in
the vain hope of staying the just
decision of the sightless goddess to
whom "all thieves should look
alike" as it is inferred that she is
blind to material facts outside the
bounds of proper evidence. The
press of the twin cities, regardless
of political affiliations, speak in no
uncertain tones about the justice
of the original verdicts and the
folly Of the laws that provide loop
holes for fragrant delay and mis-
construction of evidence. One
Minneapolis paper AYERS that the
only remedy is to return to the old
English custom of but zone trial
for one crime" the decision therein
to be final so far as courts are con-
cerned, all further evidence or
mitigating circumstances to be re-
ferred to a properly empowered
pardon tribunal.
AS far as the opinion of the bet
ter class of inmates goes, none are
inspired by the vindictive spirit
that because misery loves COM
pany'' the formerly prominent men
now standing convicted of crime
should receive heavy imprison-
ment. If the object of the law is

For THE purpose of explaining
her theories of physical organism,
Miss Nearing, teacher of physi-
ology in the Matteawan, N. Y,
public school, put cat to death
by the use of chloroform and then
dissected the animal in the pres
ence of her youthful scholars. The
heart and lungs of the animal we're
carried about the school in a pan

the children. Many of the pupils
were forced to leave school on
account of sickness brought on by
the sight. The parents of the
children are making a just and
vigorous howl against such con-
duct on the part of the teacher.

it is doubtful if information given
in this manner can be of value to
little children. It is certainly an
excellent method of brutalizing the
young and coercing them into a
reckless disregard for animal or
human life. The great trouble
with such teacher is that she
looks only at the immediate result
Of the action. No apparent thought
was given as to what other effects
this ruthless taking Of life would
have on the plastic nature of
children.

IDENTIFYING SUSPECTS.

The following, copied from the
Chicago Record, is only one in
stance of the many in which the
police attempt to railroad" men
for the sake of keeping up a show
ing on the police records totally
disregarding the injustice they
knowingly commit:
Edward and Patrick Conway, ar
rested for "a street car robbery, lden-
! titled by the police as daring highway
men and by the police 'shOWn up" as
eX-cOnvlcts, were released Tuesday by
Justice Foster. They are confidential
employees in Armour'S packing house
at the stOckyards, and twenty-five wit
nesses swore that they were working
at the time the street-car robbery Oc-
CURED.
Two weeks ago Conductor Edward
DeGraff of the Wentworth avenue line
was robbed on the rear platform of his
car at 29th street. The following day
the Conway brothers were arrested in
downtown store, they having been
pointed ont by passenger who wit
messed the robbery. They were locked
up at the central station, where they
told straightforward story, which
was not believed. Edward has heen
employed by Mr.. Armour for fifteen
years and draws a salary of $4,000 a
year. Patrick has worked for Mr..
Armour for thirteen years and receives
large salary. At the time Of their
arrest Walter Conway, their uncle, who
for thirty years had been in Mr.. Ar
mour's employ, was lying dead at their
home, 29l7 Vernon avenue. The police,
it is said, refused even to send word Of
their arrest to their relatives. and they
remained in the station until they were
bailed ont the following day. The con-
ductor who was robbed identified them
as the men who held him up, but jus
tice Foster declared sit is case of mis-
taken Identify"
Had these young men not been
in such an invulnerable position it
is money to marbles they would
have received a long term at Joliet.
Had they happened to be out of
employment at the time the offense
was committed no earthly power,
save the confession Of the actual
robbers, could have saved them.
That conductor identified them
simply because he was 'plugged''
into believing that the real GRIM
inals stood before him, regardless
of visual discrepancies he may
have honestly entertained. Chicago
has simply adopted the New York
method of furnishing "some one'
when a crime is committed. It
matters not who suffers so long as
a showing" is made to satisfy the
dear public. This may be a good
scheme but we fail to see it's fine
points,

to reform rather than infiict pun
ishment we would be pleased to
see these offenders get off with a
nominal sentence, or better still,
suspended sentence that would
ensure positive integrity in the
future. No one can offer even a
plausible excuse for crime; in the
case of men holding remunerative
positions Of honor and trust, no
excuse should be offered. Yet
very often what turns out to be
crime was not intended by them
as such. Our wish is that for the
sake of their families, the indel-
IDLE blot Of "prisor. bird" be not
branded on their future. There
are number who will whine and
say that money prevents such Of
tenders from reaching prison, and
there are substantial grounds for
such belief. But it is not the
money so much as the willowy
fiexibility of laws that can be ex-
banded or contracted according to
the Technically making" ability
Of LAWYERS handling such cases
No one can blame any man for
taking every advantage Of lax laws
when his name and liberty are at
stake-providing always that he
has the wherewithal to pay for ex-
pensive litigation.

But it has all been grist for the

attracting attention. Julia Ma

A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION OF THE
CRIMINAL PROBLEM.

The giant strides of science have
been brought to bear on the octo-
pus of crime with what appears to
be very plausible solution for the
cure of the criminally inclined. A
very strong proviso, however, en-
ters into the application of this
material panacea: the particular
diseased section of the brain must
be first discovered; then by means
of combined surgical and psy-
chical operation this portion will
be endowed with normal memory
structures.
Prof. Elmer Gates, of the Smith
sonian Institute in Washington, is
the gentleman who declares that
science WILL put an end to all
crime. Prof. Gates announces, not
as pretty figure of speech, but as
an actual fact that the murder,
robbery and other evil emotions
that must of necessity originate in
the brain can be removed by sur
gical aid. Following we give in
part Prof. Gates own words in
speaking of his contention:
''Analysis of any of the exertiOns or
secretions from person who has been
angry for half an hour show the ex-
lstence of certain ptOmaines and
catastateS of poisonous character,
but these pOisOns are different in kind
from those obtained from the secre-
tions of person who has been sad for
half an hour, and so on with the diff
ferent evil emotions. The irascibe,
the depressing, the malignant and the
fearful emotions create pOisOns in
every cell of the body, while the good
emotions augment the nutritive
changes in every cell of the body.
Emotion exerts a profound effect upon
the chemical changes which take place
in the cells. The emotions modify
profoundly the changes in the vase
motor circulation of the blood. x
"a criminal propensity is simply
nothing else than dominancy of evil
memory structures, and as soon as a
larger numb"r of morally functioning
structures are put in the same part of
the brain there arises new dOmi-
nancy, and if this new dOminancy is
kept alive it will take the blood away
from the old structures, and cause
them to waste away. The time will
come when criminals will not be al.
lowed to grow up as criminals, but the
state will see to it that criminally-in-
clined children are cured during early
school years."
We have no doubt but that Prof.
Gates must be a man of good sound
sense and learning, otherwise he
would not be drawing a fat salary
from the federal treasury for his
scientific researches. We also hope
that his theory is practicable; but
we will say that personally we are
not anxious to be the first to un-
dergo an experimental operation.
We shall eagerly await further de-
