all of the beneficiaries of the pension
fund for policemen and firemen to re-

Auditor Tweedale said yesterday that
81 600 is needed to pay the benehCiaries
in full. The Police Court fines are one
of the largest sources of revenue for the
pension fund. Dog tax money, money
from the sale of abandoned and condemn

AELLsrRoM AND THE CRIMINAL.

Warden F. 0. Hellstrom, of the North Dakota
state pententiary, made notable address James.
town. Sept. %, at the w. c. T. U. convention.
The warden has proved himself to be Of the
capable in his class in the entire country
and his plea in behalf Of the criminals notable
He says that penal laws are crude and ought
be revised In the first place. the children should
be taught the evil effects of alcoholic drinks and
narcotics, in the schools and the fact be instiad
in the minds of the young that nothing but shame,
poverty and degradation possibly result from
their He would have the laws made with the
object Of completely abating the traffic He would
not tolerate the Red Light districts in towns aud
cities He pays his respects to the churchgoer who
looks wise, pays his pew rent and then talks about
the necessary evil He would teach the young that
it is disgrace to get something for nothing aud
to unjustly reap the rewards of anothers toll. So
much for the youth.
After crime has been committed great care
should be taken in the sentencing of criminals.
The first offenders should be given consideration.
The warden would establish city, county and state
camps and allow the first Offenders to work at build
ing roads and drains getting fair wage for the Ia
bor paying back to the state the cost of the action
against them AS further punishment, the wages
in extreme could be taken away from tho GRIM
inal altogether. Many would reform without
the disgrace Of having to go to JAIL where there is
often little chance for improving the criminal.
Punishment the warden says, should be the last
No criminal should ever be sent to prison
without giving him opportunity to become pa
rolled. A man commits highway robbery; he is ap-
pretended and convicted. and the judge, by way of
cure. gives him five years in penal servitude At
the expiration of the term he is discharged regard
less Of his mental condition; regardless of the fact
that he may go forth more dangerous and cunning
than before; nothing done to prove his worth; 10
chance is is given him; no one cares. On the other
hand he may, at the expiration Of year, be in
the right mood to go and make an honest ef-
fort Let the laws tie made SO flexible that his worth
may be PUT TO THE TEST. 1t is not near so dan
gerous to temper Justice with Mercy, as it is to
exact the SHYLOCK's POUND OF FLESH
