INOGTERMlNATE SENTENCES
Foor Policy of Treating with Men
Who Wreck Banks.

Yesterday, in Chicago, Stcnslaud
and Herring. the bank wreckers. were
sentenced 10 the penitcnt.ary to indie
terminate terms for embezalcment and
forgery. Stensland who fed the coun-
try. WAS captured in Tangicr and
brought back to stand trial He con
fosScd his guilt and admitted that
Tor ten years he, as president, and
Herring, as cashier had been using
the funds of the bank in spcculntions.
II was an extremely fragrant case,
and il exemplary punishment is eve.
iustitiahlc it certainly was there. says
the Baltimore News.
But does sentence for an indctermi-
nate term give the impressive warning
that makes punishment exemplary?
The theory of the indetermnate sen.
tence is that a criminal should be
kept in confinement so long as he is
dangerous TO society, but that If he
gives satisfactory evidence of refor-
nation then he should be released.
Can there be much doubt that in the
case OF criminals of the class of Stems
land and Herring that they are entire.
~ penitent as regards their past con-
duct? If given their liberty they
are not at all likely TO repeat the acts
that got them in trouble. and indeed
it is unlikely they would ever again
have the opportunity. The suffer,ngS
they have endured have probably
been sufficiently reformatory without
the indeterminate sentence, and the
pratical question is whether the sem
tencc will exert the deterrent inilu-
ence on others, which is tho chief
purpose of punishment, and which
gives it preventive value. That is
very doubtful.
Sentence for a term OF years is
something which the mind can grasp
and which furnishes material 10 the
imagination. When one reads how a
man who mas had the handling of
millions and has lived in luxury mus
now wear striped clothes and do
prison labor for ten years, the fact
OF punishment becomes terrible
reality, and this feature Of the case
must act as powerful deterrent on
all men in posts of financial respon-
Sibility But to read that all indie
terminate sentence has been imposed
does not produce the same effect.
It presents TO view 4 loophole Of cS-
eape: there is still! chance left. and
Willingness to take chances is char.
actcSistic trait Of the spcculator
Hence. whatever may be the abstract
merits Cr the indeterminatc sentence
it seems to be lacking in just the
quality needed fer the impression o.
This particular class of crime.

whim granted by a doting mother, with
money in unlimited quantities at his
command, Harr Thaw grew from a boy
who was strong neither in body nor in
mind into a degenerate. From his
schooldays he has been source Of con-
slant trouble and worry to his mother,
who was necessarily called to get him
out of trouble.
Insanity In Family.
In the summer of 1904 the newspapers
OF the country printed story Of the
finding of Harriet Thaw in cellar in
Philadelphia, living in the direst pow
erty and insane. She was an aunt of
Harry Kendall Thaw, and soon after
her discovery she died, raving maniac.
SO far as is known, she is the only
member of the Thaw family who has
been mentally affected. ;.r
Cigarets to Blame
If Harry Thaw's mind is proved un-
balanced, his friends declare, that the
excessive use Of cigarets will be shown
to have been one Of the leading causes
Of his affliction. Thaw has smoked Gig
arets since he was in knickerbockers
and, while q student at Wooster uni
versity, Ohio, he ran away to Europe
in search of a new brand of cigarets
and some new tobacco. He came back
with trunks filed with them and prac-
tically demoralized the college with his
lavish hand. It was in 1887 and 1883
that he attended Wooster university,
then patronized largely by Mrs. William
Thaw. Young Thaw was known as the
cigaret fend. =.
