INVESTIGATION

7 INVESTIGATION of the good roads
project and the charges preferred
Il against the highway commission
by the good roads advisory committee
is promised by the board of supervis-
ors.
Only one kind of investigation will
satisfy the public who voted for the
good roads bonds, and that is an abso-
lutely fair and square inquiry. 1t is
most important to this community that
definite information should be obtained
and submitted with regard to charges
preferred by the advisory committee
against the highway commission.
The public is entitled to the investi-
cation now promised, and the investi-
cation must be thorough and unre-
served.

THE COMET

"NPLANATIONS and photographs
Il are familiarzing the public with
IA the comet. That is to say. there
is general appreciation of the fact
there is a comet in the skies. But no
explanation explains the origin and
destiny of this mystery; and no Pho
tograph can help the human brain to
understand whence came the comet
and whittier it is bound.
It is not an accident There is moth
ing accidental in the universe. order
is heavens first law. 1t is orderliness
that enables astronomers to make cal
culations with a precision which to
the average citizen resembles pro-
phecy. The approach Of the comet
was predicted. Its movements are cal
cuatcd. But We must appeal to the
spiritual law in the natural world for
d satisfactory account of the comet
and an explanation of its purpose in
the universe And in that law human
beings, ongrossed in material pursuits,
have failed to perfect themselves.

KOHLER SPEAKS OUT

n OTHING, it has been said, is so
certain as the unexpected, and
~ many of our readers will open
their eyes wide when perusing the ad-
dress delivered yesterday at the con-
Vention of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police, held at Birming-
ham, Ala That Mr.. Koher has built
himself up large reputation by his
Golden Rule administration is true;
nevertheless the enunciation by a noted
chief of doctrines so utterly at variance
with practices well-nigh universal in
police circles will come as a genuine
surprise.
Whether Mr.. Kohler has been inilu-
enced by the published work of our
own Prison Reform league, or whether
the league has drawn inspiration from
him, we do not know. This much, how
ever, is sure-the address given in this
mornings issue moves on lines almost
exactly identical with those followed in
Crime and Criminals" regarded by
many as an Utopian if not a danger
ously subVersive book. For, speaking
with all the emphasis of official eX-
perience, not only does Mr.. Koher
roundly denounce the entire deterrent
policy, including capital punishment,
as a colossal failure; not only does he
insist, in Col. Grifiths oft-repcated
phrase, that prisons are universities
wherein are given post graduate
courses in crime but he also attacks
the entire system of definite sentences,
using the very illustrations, from hos
pital and insane asylum, with which the
book IN question has made its readers
familiar.
Furthermore, Chief Kohler declares,
as the Prison Reform league has been
declaring, that it is monstrous for the
state to imprison men for theft and in
its turn rob them of the product of
their toll; and he pleads vehemently
for the adoption Of such changes as
shall insure that tn, period OF incar-
ceration shall be utilized to equip the
prisoner for the industrial battle he
must resume when he leaves the peni-
tentiaTy.
Above all, we note running through
his address the charge that the state
demands everything from the indi-
Vdual While itself doing nothing for
him.
These are radical ideas, but their
enunciation by so notable 81 figure at
such a convention lends color, at least
to the suggestion that they arc enter
ing already the domain Of practical
politics Let the conservatives, how
ever, take heart vested interests are
far too strong to permit of precipitate
action. AS to which some of us, sick
ened with recent revelations, may be
inclined to add; "'Tis true, 'tis pity;
and pity It's, tis true"

it promises soon to have greater vogue
than either golf or bicycling did in

That birds, pecl1ing hopefully, but
