FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 80, 1909.
CRIMINALS AND THE CRIMINAL
LAWS.

There Is, we believe, In the COM
munity generally, better under
standing than formerly. OF the true
theory of the criminal law. And that
is, that the State does not punish
vindictively. Never for the mere
sake of punishment That, indeed,
would be a relic of barbarism and
would not be tolerated at the present
time in any enlightened community.
The criminal law is based upon
two cardinal principles. the one the
protection OF society and the other the
reformation, if possible. of the Of
fender. Hence we have for the trial
of youthful offenders. the Juvenile
Courts. with their large discretionary
powers, And also in our criminal
courts, the suspension of sentence
and the parole. All this. while keep
ing in view the protection Of society,
at the same time looks to the better
ment of the offender.
Now, while all this is to be com
mended, as being in harmony with
our better understanding OF the true
scope OF the criminal law. II is to be
deplored that there is In almost every
community. where persons are held
for grave offences. sort OF maudlin
sentiment that makes heroes out OF
criminals. investing them by NOR
bid sentimentality that often OBJ
structs the due administration OF the
criminal Law Persons who engage
In this silly procedure may suppose
they are prompted by high principles
of humanity. but II they so think they
are mistaken. They are indeed en-
emies TO the good order OF society,
and are engaged In that which will
breed criminals, and bring the law
into contempt Nothing will so re-
strain those who are crimlnally dis
posed as the prompt punishment OF
the guilty. And the severity of sen
tenee upon those who are convicted
Of crime. is merciful Intervention
for the protection OF society gener-
ally. and especially those who need
such energetic object lessons.
II the How of crime Is TO be stop.
ped, II will not be done by surround
ing the criminal with "A halo OF glory
but by promptly putting the stripes
upon him aud putting him behind the
prison bars.
