GIVE THE POOR
 CRIMINAL A CHANGE

A prison sentence is in too many cases the end of profitable human career. Judge Mckenzie Cleland of Chicago be- lieves great portion of this is both cruel and unnecessary. He says in Mcclure 8 for July:
 That many, perhaps d majority, of criminals can be wholly reformed with out Imprisonment, through the means Of a suspended maximum sentence with lit tie or no expense to the state, I am satis- fed beyond doubt; and this will be done when we can eliminate from the treat ment of criminals the desire for revenge and look only to the good of the individ- ual and of society.
 That a suspended sentence should be of greater value in bringing about the reformation of a criminal than prison term, is, I believe, reasonable and logical. When the criminal has served his sen tence, his supposed debt to society is paid. If he commits another crime he does so with the chance, in his favor, of a possible acquittal, a hung jury, light sentence, or a reversal upon appeal He is consequently willing to take risks which he would not take were the consequences sure and severe The most important el- ement in the defendants reforma ton, however, is his avoidance of the physical mental and moral injury which he would suffer by serving his prison sentence.
 Tn substantially every case that I in- vestigated, I found that, notwithstanding the efficient management of our work house, the offender had come out a less desirable member of society than when he went in; his employment was gone, his reputation was injured, his will weakened, his knowledge of crime and criminal prac- tices greatly increased. As one young girl expressed it: It is not a House of Correction, but House of Corruption |"

Work of Committees.

Owing to an oversight in the account of the annual reports of the city officials as contained in yesterdays Age-Herald, the annual reports of the street and mis- cellaneous committees of the City Coun- cii, of which John Morrison and J. F. Culpepper are chairman, were uninten- tionally omitted The work done by both these committees was of a very import ant character, the former in recommend ing and directing the large amount of street improvement, which has been ear ried out during the year, and the latter in fixing the license schedule, which was very difficult task on account of the inauguration of the prohibition regime, and the consequent withdrawal of a large amount of revenue previously derived from the saloons. Both of these commit tees and their chairmen deserve great credit for the excellent manner in which the work was done
