The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1907-10-11

The anRdal congress OF the Nationals
Prison Association attracted many prom
inent officials and students of criminol-
ogy to Chicago. The report Of the COM
mittee of preventive and reformatory-
work advocated a complete revision of
our criminal code. 1t is held that the
system OF fees charged in the defense
and prosecution of criminals is wrong. A
wealthy criminal should not be permitted
to pay for his defense p dollar more than
the State pays in defending a criminal
without financial backing. In he opinion
of the committee one of the greatest So
cial evils of to-day is the privilege which
the rich have of escaping punishment for
their acts.
Warden butcher of the Colorado State.
'eformatory argued against having prs
oners constantly watched by armed
guards. While admitting that in certain
cases it might be necessary, he thought
that the display Of firearms in penal in
stitutions was fraught with grave dam
gers and with evil consequence The re-
suit Of this policy was inevitably 70 mark

the criminal law. Throughout all the.
addresses at the congress the prevailing
tendency was in favor Of those methods
which lead toward the reformation and
betterment Of criminals rather than those
which are actuated by a spirit of revenge
and much attention was paid to, the asso-
Citations being fonned throughout the
country for the purpose Of helping ex-
~convicts to their feet.
Attorney General Bonaparte. address,
ing the Prison Wardens' Association On
Wednesday, advocated the death penalty
for habitual criminals mad for attempts
to commit capital crimes. He argued that
the primary purpose of punishment was
to assure obedience to the law, and that
in inficting punishment the State looks
not to the past and not to the individual
who now suffers. but to all the :ndivid-
uals who may hereafter fear to disobcy by
reason of the sutferings of the one now
punished. The habitual criminal, h. said,-
was a product of modern civilization, ass
our ancestors would have hanged him for
his first felony. He did not favor hapg-
ing men for trifling o~ffenses, but he WOULD
have society cease to nOurish and shel-
