Reforming COnyiCtS

Probably taking their cue from
Missouri, the members of the Arkan-
sas penitentiary board have decided
to abolish the wearing of stripes
among convicts who make record
for good behavior. 1t is certainly
most commendable move and one
that will doubtless produce good
results.

By putting a premium on good

object of punishment is an expia-
