When IL is properly employed, will be

Importance to US to bring this matter
to rapid conclusion
TO return to parole breakers They
must not be permitted to escape Where
violations occur we must be tireless and
unremitting in our efforts to apprehend
the cuiprlts. If we cannot do this, we
would better abandon the intermediate
sentence and bark back to the old time
sentence once more. In saying this I have
the interest Of both the prisoner and of
society at heart.
Our business is to build up, to try to
do what we can to uphold those who
are prone to fall; not to place temptation
IN the path of weak men. 1t is only an
exceptionally strong man who can safely
court temptation.
Politics and Prison Management.
1--WE hear much nowadays about re-
moving the judiciary from the realm OF
politics. and 1 believe the consensus is
that 1t should be removed. AS the
prison., in a way, supplements the bench
1t would seem necessary corallary that
If one is removed the other should be
also. However, be that as it may, it is
unquestionably true that politics and the
best prison management are as antag-
onistic as oil and water
ITO appoint a warden. deputy warden,
or even a subordinate official simply be-
cause he has been an active worker dur
ing the doubtful moments of a political
campaign, while 1t may be a friendly
act, is detrimental to the best interests
of society. / even question if it is good
politics; for there is nothing the opposi-
ton relishes more than the opportunity
to attack the party in power with the
weapon furnished by misgoverned state
institution. And incompetent men are
pretty sure to be poor managers. The
prison has nothing whatever to do with
politics. If it, is properly managed, it
cannot possibly be made an issue of the
campaign, and its management must
work for the best interests of the whole
state, no matter which party is in
power.
According to my notion, there is no
room for the theorist the lobbyist or
the quasi-sentimental student of crimi-
nology in the government of prison
1t is a business proposition and demands
practical men. The warden or superin-
tendent in particular should be conyersant
with every detail of prison affairs. He
should be one who started at the bottom
of the ladder and worked his way up
through superior ability. A warden or
higher official who has to rely on some

law, unless it is administered with more
system, care and conservatism than has
oeen exercised in the past, is destined to
become an object of ridicille for practical
men. "A law designed to reform criminals
winch when put into operation serves to
furnish desperate and dangero.; charac-
tiers with an easy means of escaping the
consequence of their vicious lives Is not

people, And. to considerable extent this
is what the 1ndeterminate sentence law is

with impunity.
Must Know the Sinners.
If we are to get the best results from
the indeterminate sentence and parole law
We must perforce devise some plan by
means of which we can make ourselves
!tinoroughly conservant with the lives, hab-
us, associates and temperament of those
IN our charge. 1t is not enough that a
convict has been a good prisoner. It is
not not enough that he has shown a DISPOSE
t1on to OBEY the rules and perform salts
factory work while he is in prison. Be-
fore ne is granted a parole we should
know beyond peradventure what his past

open. and If parole be granted can so

Is S; at present entirely too much negligence

farce. "
What is needed to prevent frequent
violations of paroles is active co-opera-
tion between the heads Of penal institu-
tons in the various states.i The means al
present employed to SUPERVISE paroled
prisoners are well enough SO far as they
go, but in many states are insufficient
and inadequate. The prisoner should not
only be carefully watched and his move-
nents noted, but he should be encouraged
70 persevere in his we'll doing. The war
den or the official appointed by him to
attend to such matters Should keep in
