East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-07-25

A subject very infrequently discuss
ed, bW nevertheless OF great import
ance and absorbing interest to all
thoughtful persons, no matter what
may be their points OF view, receives
the following presentment in the last
issue OF the Catholic Sentinel at Port
cIahd:
The American Federation of Catho-
lie societies., which assemblies this
week at indianapolis, has for some
time inscribed on Its program a de-
mand fer a division of the public
school hind in the various states OF
the Union. 1t is rightly contended
that Catholic schools every year
save millions OF dollars to the tax
payers of this country 1t is, there
fore, merely matter OF justice, says
the Federation, that Catholic schools
should be reimbursed by the state.
This demand on the part OF the,
federation has not met with very
enthusiastic response even Within the
Catholic fold. a feeling, which has
perhaps been intensified by recent
happenings in France, has developed
that state aid means ultimately state
control and that II is better to be poor,
and free than rich and In letters.
There seems to be no reason to believe
that the demand Tor Division of the
school fund win be taken up by the
Catholic body as a whole. not in the
Immediate future, at least. 4
Catholics. OF course. show little
disposition to permit Catholic schools
to share in public moneys. although
there is an occasional voice fontside
the fold raised IN favor 'of such a di1
vision.
1t is curious to note that Protes,
tants are wont to appeal to the con-
stitution of the United Suites in sup
port of their opposition to n division
of the school fund, in spite OF the
fact that that instrument has moth
ing to say about the mutter, and es-
pecially nothing to say about the at
titude OF the separate states toward
religion. Prutestants who so make
appeal to the constitution seem to

All the rich, full tones Of the hu-
man voice are perfectly reproduced in
the Marconi phonograph records now
sold by the Guernsey Music Store.
There is no metallic scratching, no
harsh jarring sounds, but the beauty
OF the natural voice is reproduced in
all its charm. The selection OF Mar

is one Of the best ever heard here.
All music lovers are advised to call
and hear them.

AS to printers ink and paper being
too costly, incidentally, l may re-
mark that Mr.. Osborn attempts 10

lessen the price of ink and paper, with

BETTER PRISONERS
Radical Suggestions Made by
Roland B. MoIineaux for Re-
form of Unfortu mates.
CLAIMS RIMiNAL LAWS FAIL
Should Aim to Benefit Prisoners, Not
Society, He Says II No Fixed
Period for Sentences.

Instead of shutting up prisoners to
protect society" and releasing them
worse than before, society should ur-
dertake to reform them as quickly as
possible, is Roland 3. Molineux's con-
tention in a remarkable article in the
current issue of Charities.
Mr. Molineux would have criminals
sentenced for no fixed period and re
leased only when fit for release by d
judge and jury in court of rehabili
tation." Some of his striking sentences
follow:

books on the subject he may yet be
able to see and understand. But the
question which he must answer is this:
Because he has made no effort AMI
consequently cannot understand these
things, is he justified in condemning
the single tax as an unknown and I'M

ed chaos of absurdities, contradictions
and uncertainties? / admit that pres

and equality? Is it not that-every
man has freedom of any other man
and-every man, may claim the fullest
| liberty to the exercise of his faculties
compatible with the possession of like
liberty by every other man? 1t is up
to Mr.. Osborn to show that our liberty
| is of this kind He accuses me in
these words: 'Mr. Knapp's plea for lib
erty means nothing unless it means
the privilege of enjoying to the full
some other mans possessions But
las usual he does not sustain his accd-
Stations. Why does he say, "even per-
sonal property rights. SO dear to the
hearts of single takers, are worthless
unless anchored to some fragment of
mother earth?'' Did | not show the
contrary to be true, by asserting the
fright of the man to himself and con-
sequently to the full product of his
labor? Is it my fault that the "land
auction scheme is the only plan of
Operating the single tax" that Mr.. Os.
born had ever seen? Am l to blame
because he looked not for another?
In conclusion let me say that in his
first letter Mr. Osborn came to the
fore, burdened with moral obligations

He tells the story of this conyicts |
life previous to Imprisonment and then
shows by witnesses all he has since
accomplished. The warden testifies to
his perfect discipline; teacher to his
having learned correctly to speak, read
and write the English language; pos
sibly he has even mastered foreign
tongue; also he is now expert in keep
ing books or he has worked in the va
rious shops of the prison, and instruct
ors pronounce him skilled mechanic;
also it Is shown that deposited in the
prison treasury are his savings, the
state having paid him for his labor.
Now, if you restore him to citizenship
he win almost certainly prove worthy
of 1t, because he has won 1t by the
sweat of his brow, the toll of his brain
and the intensity of his purpose.
The new criminal code would no
more recognize the logic or justice or
Christianity of ''life for life" than
it would the same qualities in inflict-
ing mayhem as the punishment for
mayhem.
Life for Life Not Recognized.
There would be a recognition of the
fact that there are two great classes of
murders, those of the heart and those
| of the brain. What a gulf between
| the two! Los D pride, self respect,
these are among the qualities, good In
| themselves, that have often led to
murder. Is it just to treat the man
| carried away by such motives exactly
| as we treat the man who has killed
another for gain?
The court of rehabilitation would
rarely release the murderer who had
plotted and calculated even after long
| Imprisonment. 1t might give another
chance to him that had killed in anger
and with provocation.
The objection may be raised that
| this system makes it comparatively
easy to get out of prison. Possibly it
does. But if also it makes 1t hard to
! get back into prison is not a greater
good accomplished? And that is ex-
4 actly what it does, for the liberated
man fully realizes how terribly sec
/ ond offense and conviction would count
against him.

/ ciples by what they do.-Butler.
