GOVERNOR GLENN ON THE RE.
FORMATORY.

There has been some criticism Of
Governor Glenn'S position on the prop
ositiGn 10 establish n reformatOry.
There may be some misunderstanding
of his position. Therefore we print
below exactly what the Governor said
upon that subject in his message, as
that is the only expression which he
has made. He wrote as follows:
youthful criminals should not be
confined with old and vicious offend
ers, for such association hardenS their
natures and lessons the chances Of
yer retaining them. / will, there
fore, throw no obstacle in the way OF
establishing some kind of a reform
atory for young offenders, provided you
find ii expedient and the State can
now afford it.
AT the last session of the General
Assembly, in order to protect youthful
criminals all | could do, | sent a
special message and got the Legisla-
ture to pass a law allowing me to
grant u conditional pardon, or rather
pardon on parole. Under this author
ity. | nave k several young crimi-
nails out of prison and got them good
homes where they are being properly
trained. Under this parole, if the
criminal remains of good behavior,
he is free; if he violates his parole,
he is returned to prison. The law
has worked well. and with h help
of good people in securing suitable
homes, / believe | can reclaim the
hayward boys without cost to the
State.
'TherefOre. as this is a matter of
grave importance and no mistake
should be made, and as for the present
| a by parole pardon provide homes
for young criminals, would it not be
wise for you to appoint or have the
Governor appoint a committee Of wise
and humane men to take the whole
matter into consideration and report
to the neXt Legislature if a reforma-
tory is absolutely needed, and if so.
to recommend the kline most suitable
for such criminals. and then with all
necessary information before them.
there viii be Slight chance of there
being any mistake maGe?'
