said F. Emory Lyon, superintendent
Of the Central Howard association Of
Chicago. in an address before the Ma
tional Conference OF Charities and
Correction today, is the ..eynote OF
success in the administration OF either
parole or probation. The various
states have been slow to learn this
lesson in the inauguration Of parole
laws. In some states the law has
been merely d means for releasing
prisoners BY the tIcket-of-Ieaye' meth
cd. In some states no appropriation
has been made for the employment
Of parole officers; in no state has
there been a sufficient number pro-
yided.
The provision for parole as well as
for probation should be not as a re-.
lease from punishment or discipline,
but as a substitute for Imprisonment.
When properly administered, it is bet
ter calculated to teach the lesson Of
self-control. industry, honesty and per
sistent effort than imprisonment.
mot only should each state learn
from all others. Dat there must ulti-
mately be the widest cooperation be-
tween the different cities and common
wealths. In the course Of a single
month the Central Howard associa.
tion received men under parole aad
probation, not only from the instiu.
tions Of Illinois. but also from Mime
sofa, Wisconsin. Michigan. Indiana
and New York. Uniform laws in these
states would have made the task Of
this association much easier"

Va. were married in Rockville yesterday
afternoon by Rev. S. r. White Of the
Baptist Church, the ceremony taking
place at the residence of the minister.
