we call evil and crime originated In the
struggle for existence. Such traits of

when such habits have been partly over

adaptations to them, there still con-
stantly. recur reversions to the primitive
type. the evolutionist seems justified in
concluding that criminal tendencies, in
herited or otherwise, may be the result
of conditions that once forced man to
adapt himself to them in order to main
tain his existence Hence crime must al
ways have existed, but was not always
recognized as such. The men of the
thirtieth century will condemn many of
harmless.
1.-THE modern scientist has shown us
tnat traits OF character that have not
only become useless to man, but are
The struggle for existence continually
forces man to adopt new methods to meet
new conditions; and as he slowly changes
from one mode of existence into another
old methods gradually take on the ap-
pearance of evil, while new methods, bet
ter suited to new conditions, are termed
good. Hence evil and crime are necessary
concomitants of the law of evolution
or at least of superorgonic evolution
lndetermlnate Sentence and Parole.
"Philanthropists, humanitarians, theo-
rists and practical prison men are agreed
that the indeterminate sentence and
parole law presents the most feasible
method of dealing with criminals
The underlying principle of the law is
sound. 1t presupposes that the offender
although he is for the time being opposed
to society and its laws, yet may be trans
formed into a social being if the useful
traits of character are encouraged and
the vicious ones discouraged 1t deals
with the criminal. not with the crime;
and to appreciate the necessity of this
one need but remember that life is cumu-
lative. Nothing is isolated in this world
There is a cause for each effect. And a
large and emotional school of so-called
crfminologists to the contrary notwith-
standing, there is no such thing as acct
dental crime. Accidental criminals are
creations of fervent and overheated i'm
aginations.
But while the indeterminate sentence
and parole law is based on a scientific
principle. and while it has been productive
of much good in the past, and is accom-
plishing much today, it viii not do to
make a fetch of it and look upon it as a
panacea of all social ills or the solution
OF the eternal problem of crime. Admir-
able as it IS in theory, it cannot be gain

Lynching.
There is a spirit of Iawlessness
abroad In the land which has grown
TO such magnitude as to concern every
thinking person in the country 1t has
manifested itself in lynchngs. In the last
twenty -one and one-half years 2941 per-
sons nave been lynched in the L ted
States. These lynchings have not been
confined to any particular section nor
nave they been the result Of any particu-
lar crime. We cannot look with indif-
ference on the widespread moral obIique-
ness indicated by mob rule l need not
say it Is ineXcusable The excuse that
Justice is slow and uncertain is not in
accordance with the facts. In no part OF
the United States would 1t be difficult
to select a jury to adequately punish
those who now fall victims to mob rule
and furthermore it is inexcusable because
1t eXertS influence on the criminally in
clined. Violence begets violence. and dis
respect for law and order propagates it
self.
I'VE need to get at the root of this
matter, to discover If possible why our
country has been subjected to this con-
flagration Of mob rule within the last
two decades
"Lynching Is frequently condoned on
the ground that the better class of citi-
zens compose the mobs that perpetrate
the outrageS. Even If this assertion were
true, l cannot see how it could be ac-
cepted in eXtenuation of the crime; but
there never was anything less proved or
less probable. Every person who makes
one of a lynching mob should be treated
as a murderer. / do not say that when
they are so treated lynching will cease;
but 1 am convinced that the knowledge
that swift and sure justice will follow the
commission of a crime has a salutary
effect on all lawbreakers."

DISCUSSES PRISON
REFORM AND LYNCHINC
Warden WoIfer, of Minnesota,
Gives a Strong Address Be-
fore Prison Association.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 3.-The Ma
ttonal Prison Association of the United
States held the opening session of It's
annual congress here tonight, the dele
gates crowding Music hall almost to
suffocatinn. The opening session was
devoted for the most part to responses
by officers of the association. The con-
gress will continue for six days, and
nearly every state and Canada is rep
resented.
The feature of tonight's session was
the address of the president, Henry
Wolfer, warden of the state peniten-
uary, saltwater, MINI. He said:
Il do not think there is any line of
human endeavor in which more rapid adj
vance has been made during the last CEN
fury than in prison reform. There is still
much to be done. There are still penal
institutions in So-called civilized coun-
tries. which are turning out hardened
criminals by the score; but we have public
sentiment with us now and 1t will only be
little while before these reactionists
VIII be forced to get into line.
The education of public sentiment has
peen our most difficult task Through
our efforts to protect society from the
cr!mlnally inclined and to protect the
criminal from himself, we have learned
much, not only of the must apnroveI
it ealtment of criminals, but of crime

II do not believe penology can be re-
duced to science. 1t is hampered with
too many ifs and butts and hows. To
and at the same time have In view what
Is best for the Individual criminal, and
Tor society, would lead to results alto
or penology should be the protection of
society and the reformation of the crimi-
nal. And the treatment that viii be con-
cuclVe to the reformation of one crim-
nal, may prove altogether abortive when
applied to another criminal. Even in the
