THEIR NAMES WITHHELD
ParoIed and Pardoned Convicts Not 10
be Made Known for Publication.

Under the amendment 10 the parole
law enacted at the last session of the
legislature paroles are now granted by
the pardon board direct. except in cases
of persons convicted of murder and a few
other specified crimes. The governor
has no duty to perform in connection
with these cases, and he is thus relieved
OF the arduous task Of investigating them.
The pardon board assumes all response
bility. This being the case the board has
recently adopted rule which is believed
to be in line with the spirit and princile
OF the parole law. Heretofore il has been
the practic of the board TO give out for
publication the name of all convcits
on whose applications for parole the
board and governor had taken favorable
action. These names will no longer be
given to the press for the reason that. in
the opinion of the members of the board,
such publication serves III many cases TO set
at naught the primary object OF the parole
law. This object is TO give convicts deemed
worthy of clemency their liberty under
certain conditions so that they may be- in
position to redeem themselves and re-
lieve the state of the burden of them and.
in numerous cases, of their families as
well.
II has been demonstrated in Michigan
and other states that by informing the
public that such convicts have been re-
leased on parole these men are seriously
handicapped in their efforts to make
living and lead upright lives. 1t causes
them to be pointed out as convicts and
II is practically impossible for them to
secure and retain employment which is
one of the conditions of their parole and
which is absolutely essential to. their we'll
being. In other words, if the people of a
community understand that one of their
number is a convict they are likely to
give him the cold sholder. In many

residence of Thcs. Gobel, Sr. looking

finished it will be as nice piece of road
as will be found in the county, making
a smooth, easy haul for heavy loads all
the way to Alma.
There are many other roads in the
county which would stand for a few
miles of improvement, and the impetus
which the good roads movement in Mich
igan has received during the past year
promises a speedy revolution in the mat
ter of highways. However we shall not

vented any escape of the infection TO

quarantine he was the sole power,
having the backing Of the state, and
he fulfilled his task most eXcellently.
Not a case of infection passed the
limit which he set.
The fact points strongly to the
proper method of handling the dis
ease. and reflects great credit both
upon the professional acumen and
the executive ability of DR.. Porter.
The state board of health deserves
credit for its unhinching support Of
