CHANCE FOR OFFENDERS.
Judges Predisposed to Impose Mini
mum Sentences,

The modern administration of crimina
affairs runs no risk of offending in the
matter of extreme punishment" said Jus
tice Gould Of Criminal Court No. to-
day in discussing the recent ruling of
the United States Supreme Court revcrs-
ing the action OF the highest tribunal il,
the Philippine Islands. which had affirmed
an unusual punishment under the old
Spanish code on Paul Weems an official
in the lighthouse service in the Philip
pines.
Judges in these days. and especially
in this Jurisdiction. are accustomed to
impose comparatively light sentences
wherever there still exists chance for
the reformation of an offender Even
when the habitual criminal is dealt with
his sentence is rarely the ma ximum pom
atty of the law. The extreme penalty is
imposed only in cases where it is ap-
parent to the court that the only way
to keep the criminal from proving upon
society is TO put him where he will he
