THE PAROLE SYSTEM
AND THE DETERRENT

a good, or, rather, bad, way to discredit justice itself with the
criminal classes. The principal aim in criminal justice is to make
a deterrent for crime. 1t is no satisfaction to society merely to
lock a criminal up and pay the cost of his keep. The desire is to
stop crime and its great expense. If a criminal system serves to
deter men from crime by fear of the consequences it does its work
we'll Remove or modify that fear and crime is encouraged.
wholesale releases from State prison of convicts guilty of heinous
crimes must necessarily have the effect to lessen fear, and thereby
promote crime In yielding to any sentimental consideration or
consulting an economical reason the State loses sight of the pri
mary purpose OF justice, namely, to lessen crime by fear of the
law. The criminal sentenced by a judge should be made to know
that he will get the full measure of punishment. The man who
is meditahng a crime should be made to reflect that if he is de-
tected and convicted he cannot hope for clemency. There should
be no compromise in justice. The interests of society demand that
none of the safeguards against the commission of crime shall be
relaxed, as they unquestionably are when convicts are set at liberty
in troops and battalions.

VEST

Dear Sir-My attention has been
called to what I must designate as
absolutely unwarranted articles in
the daily papers concerning gentle
men who, when no one is willing to
get up and give them a seat. prefer
to stand in the rear of trolley carr
rather than in the front. Some
~overzealous critics of these gentle
men have at times had the bad
taste to call them hogs, street a
hogs. 1t is outrageous, sir, but too
true. I blush as / write this coarse
epithet. blush for the man who uses
it without knowing the motives
which may actuate those at whose
heads 1t is hurled. Now, isn't it
altogether likely that If a man
wanted to stand in the front of a
car he would go there in the first
place before the conductor said
anything to him? This is supposed
to be a free country and If such
is the case a citizen should be able
to do as he pleases without having
to incur the crude criticism of those
who would have him do differently.
1 do not mind saying, sir. over my
own signature, that when I find 1t
necessary to stand in a street car.
and that necessity will never arise
unless all the seats are taken when
! get on the car, ] shall continue
to stand on my rights as an Amer
lean citizen and near the rear door.
Your obedient servant,
col. /. NJ. BoNEHEAD."

THE MUCH BAITED
STANDARD OIL

the Ohio Supreme Court, and the New Jersey corporation was
formed in 1899, with such improvements as the astute Standard
Oil lawyers could devise. Suits have also been prosecuted against
the subsidiary companies in various States, among these Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. In the criminal suits during the
Roosevelt administration there were indictments with S193 counts,
and it was upon one of these that Judge Lands in Chicago i'm
posed an aggregate fine of $~29,240O00, which was set aside on
appeal. And the end is not yet. The Standard has a treasury of
millions. with a big crop of expert lawyers, and the United States
Supreme Court is to be appealed to.

Praise for the Real Builders.

To the Editor OF the Star:
Sir-I have watched o for sew
eral days the workers on the Fire
mems building at the -Four Cor
ners. We all know that after the
building is completed the president,
directors and other officers will be
the recipients of much glory on the
erection of the fine structure. The
thought then came into my mind
that these brave. loyal, honest toll
ers, who are risking their lives on
the high girders, would not share in
this ovation. So let my wee little
voice rise up and speak words Of
praise for the men whose hands
and brains are the actual builders
of this rapidly rising structure.

A NEW IDEA MAN
o GOVERNOR

ter Martin or Austen Colgate for the party nomination. In only
three counties has the New Idea any organization or any consider
able s-rength-Essex, Passaic and Hudson. In the last guber-
material election these counties poled 1888 Republican votes,
against 1880 in the other nineteen counties-less than one half.
If a New Idea candidate should capture all the delegates in the
three counties he would have to get delegate support from other
counties to secure a majority against a Regular candidate in the
nominating convention. But in the primaries last September the
New Idea was beaten in Essex and Passaic, and it failed to get
control of the organization in Hudson. In all three counties the
party machinery is in the hands of the Regulars. To overcome
the formidable difficulties presented for a New Idea candidate for
Governor requires a man of exceptional ability, character, popu-
Iarity and aggressiveness, and probably no man comes nearer to
dning the bill than William Parmenter Martin. His candidacy
would at least put life and animation into the Republican pi,
naries

To the Editor OF the Star:
Dear Sir-Last week the Board of

the City Hall all foreign flags.
This is rather a broad statement Of

effect will bear this Interpretation.

Gil has aroused any interest. I am

The above notice, Which reaches
this column just before going to
press, seems to offer a pleasant
and agreeable opportunity for some
young man to become a millionaire.
Anyone equipped with ordinary in
telligence, who is at the same time
honest and sober, a reasonable per-
centage of the time should see In
it a great opportunity. One mill
ion dollars is g. fortune not
to be sneezed at. Even In these
days of quickly acquired wealth
few men, excepting those fortunate
enough to be employed in the
custom house, could hope to garner
so large a sum without several
years of unremitting toll. No
money is required to begin the
search, and the work can be done
after hours, at home, provided the
home is near the haunt Of the hook
worm. We have no feeling what
ever in the matter, as the hook
worm has invariably treated US
with respect and courtesy, but we
do not hesitate to urge young men
not to overlook this chance to gain
a comfortable fortune. Let their
slogan be, Get the hook worm"
