POLLARD TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.

!; was in 1903 that Judge Pollard first applied
the temperance pledge as an alternative choice
for = vorkhouse sentence It was then in the
nature of an experiment. Long ago it passed
the experimental stage. and IL is now fixed
part Of the court machinery. Judge Pollard mas
had many copies of the Pollard pledge used IN
his court printed at his own expense, ana lhey
are used IN hundreds Of cases. In the four years
tie plan has been in operation more than SIX
hundred men and women have signed these
pledges Believing that an ounce OF preVehIlon p n
is worth a Mound of cure and that the law is
better conserved by the saving OF drunkards
than By their punishment, he never refuses 10

answer them, and in this way he has formed an
intimate epistolary acquaintance with many
men and women whose names are famous IN
works or philanthropy and reform. From time
to time he has heard that his plan has been
tentatlVry tried by some venturesome magls-
trate, and again that it had been urged upon
others by temperance leaders or sociologists.
When the judge last year went abroad on his
first vacation since his incumbency of the bench
ne found himself liOniZed in England. He had
reception of which the members of the Supreme
bench might we'll be proud and was in demand
for lectures and addresses. In a committee
room Of the House OF Commons the Hon. Left
Jones. N. p. president OF the United Kingdom
Alliance, acting as spokesman for twenty mem
herS. presented 10 him an address in which they
lauGed him for his methods in dealing with
drunkards and expressed the hope that many
courts, both in England and in the United
States would soon follow his example.
PATTERNED ON POLLARD PLEDGE.
This hope mas been fulfilled in England. Judge
Pollard's visit gave pereeptible impetus to agi-
ta;ion by the National Independent Temperance
party cf England 10 include in the new pro
baton for offenders bill a clause making IT
compulsory for magistrates 10 give first Offend
ers the option OF pledge patterned on the Pol
lard pledge" IN this cause many thousands Of
tracts were issued by the society, explaining
the Pollard plan, giving figures on its results
quoting extracts from the speeches of the Amer
lean judge in England and also telling of its
success in the few cases in which it had been
applied in England.
Although always a picturesque figure on the
bench, and at all times original in his dealings
with offenders brought before him. it is doubtful
If Judge Pollard realized when he first launched
his famous pledge system what repute it would
bring him and how it would become the theme
of temperance reformerS and the pattern Of
laws. He himself says that the pledge was act
uated by the guiding principles he has always
set before himself in the execution of his judi
cial functions

Judge Pollard called the woman before him

some wholesome advice on the proper way 70

with pad and pen on the desk before him, Whlle
the woman stood shamefaced before him and
her husband seemed far from pleased at the
punishment that awaited his erring consort. AT
last the magistrate had finished his writing.

The woman replied that she was willing.

written: 'T hereby freely and voluntarily prom.
ise that I will not again be guilty in any way Of
nagging or using abusive language toward my

This worst of all domestic curses may prove i

To Judge William Jefferson Pollard, of the

as the author Of ''Pollards pledge" which has
been enacted into the statute laws of Great
Britain a cure for drunkards, belongs the
credit Of evolving companion pledge which may

enough TO say whether il will be a success. but

fined, il has bright promise. Its possibilities are
SO large and rosy that oppressed husbands and
wives are already rising UP throughout the land

The first signer of the anti-nagging pledge
was a woman. But as a verification of Judge
Pollard's assertion that this peculiar domestic
vice is not by any means confined to the petit
coated partner of the connubial state, the second
signer in his court was man. The woman was
a defendant in the court on the complaint Of
,leighbors who testified that so peTsistently had
she nagged her husband that the peace and
dignity OF the district were disturbed and

his wife but many voluble neighbors asserted
that his wife had scolded him loud and long

no room for panic. The effect of this

time to come. Probably some recovery
may ensue later on in the security

mercial embarrassments multiply they
must he accepted philosophicalIy as a
part of the general reaction. Prices
in the commodities markets will now
have to take their share of the de-
cline. Extravaganza will cease and
economy will become the order of the
day. New enterprises will be suspen-

Will be a lessened demand for both
commodities and labor This part of
the process Of readjustment will be

the only way for substantial re-
establishment of confidence BY means
of such adjustments we should reach
a lower and more stable basis for
business revival later on.
Crops Valuable Support.
One important fact should moi be
overlooked. Our crops are bringing
profitable prices, and there is sure to
be a good demand both foreign and
domestic, for all that our farms have |
produced. This will prove a valuable |
support to business throughout the |
and will do much to offset any
reaction in the Industrial field. Many
securities are now at bargain prices, |
and small investors have collectively
considerable amounts Sc
'urity prices have also reached a point
where European buying must become

Reforms With Caution.
In this connection it is to be hoped
