Wasted Sympathy.

JUDGE WHITMAN, eminent jurist of the Court
of General Sessions in New York. recently declared
that it was impossible to reform criminals who were
thirty years Of age But the primary obstacle to
the betterment of conditions" says Judge Whitman
sis the foolish attitude Of the people who glorify
leased criminals and ignore those who have not fall
EN-, but still in need of the sympathy that is be-
ing wasted" We always imagined that when reach
ing thirty years, most young men ceased to plant
wild oats and began to think seriously Of putting in
something more tangible.
However with all due Difference to the views
expressed by Judge Whitman in regard to sympathy
being showered released prisoners, the opposite
rule seems to prevail. Ex-prisoners have always
complained bitterly of not being given fair show,
that they objects of suspicion and persecution;
but if conditions have changed rapidly that there
is now danger of him dying of too much kindness,
we cannot account for the change. It may be that

ing effect on the inhabitants of New York.

ONE of the phrases that is overworked nowadays
is that of "mawksh sentimentality" frequently
used by near students of the criminal problem This
shibboeth has gained such widespread currency that
everybody but the poor prisoner believes that the
criminal is being pampered by sentmentalists
Those who continually this yellow phrase-maw
ksh sentimentality that prisoners are be-
ing treated with too much leniency Kindness flowers
rich food etc. etc. OF course their is pardon
able for they are unlnformed to the conditions
they mention.
While it is true that occasional criminals
picture is published in the PRESS accompanied by
lurid account of the crime he committed, those he
had committed in the past and those he had planned
to commit ETC., such accounts do not arouse ro-
mantle, mawkish sentimentalty in favor OF the ac-
cused person On the contrary, such publicity in
variably contributes few years to the prisoners
stay in the penitentiary. He above all men deplores
such write-up; he knows that such artistic falry
tales we're concocted for the purpose OF preudicing
public opinion against him. and not stir up maudhn
sympathizers, Perhaps the prisoner, as ne receives

Labor Troubles.

IT is very likely that of the greatest strikes
in the history of this country will be precptated
during the coming summer, if the intentions Of rail-
road officials carried out in regard to general
reduction of wages. The unions affected by such
reduction are Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Firemen, Railway Trainmen, Order Of Railway Te-
legraphers, and Railroad Conductors, all of whom
say they will oppose to the last extremity any lower
ing of the wage schedule. If these unions call a
general strike it is easy to foresee the consequences
for it would mean stagnation of business turnout
the United States.
Undoubtedly every pressure will be used to pre-
vent such national calamity, because if strike is
called there will be of the most violent reigns of
awlessness that has ever occurred 1t is difficult to
estimate the number of people such action would
throw out of employment; but it is easy to presume
that with traffic at standstl it would reach into
the millions. This would be fine state of affairs
on the eve Of presidential election.

IT is evident that Chicago intends to make kid!
naping so unpopular that few persons will dare to
engage in it as business. Only recently judge in
that city sentenced man to thirty years and wom
an to twenty-five years Imprisonment for stealing
twelve. year-old girl. The crime of kidnapping chill
dren is considered to be one of the gravest the
calendar, for there are few crimes which more
heart-rending misery than that of separating child
from its parents. This is why most states increased
the penalty for this ofense, the object being to in
tmdate those who resort to this practice OF making
money.
1t is very likely that few sentences Of this kind
will have sautary effect in checking the desires of
this sort of social maefacors 1t would be foohardy
for right-minded person to kidnap child in Chi
cago if he knew what the penalty thereof would be
in of detection. While it is generally admitted
that this sentence is rather severe it must be
ceded that harsh necessary in order to
stop the commission of such crimes.
