sentence" declared Rev. James Dona-
hue, city missionary of the Catholic
church, st. Paul, in an address Mon
day at the old state capitol building
before the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty. Father Donahue, who for
merly lived in Minneapolis, said that
the lenient treatment given criminals
was becoming real peril "Mawkish
sympathy" was the way he character
lied the present day attitude toward
the criminal by the public. perhaps
in years past the prisoner was treated
too harshly," said Father Donahue;
''but just the opposite is true now"

Judge Leary of the municipal court
Monday abandoned the plan adopted
for the court by Judge Montgomery a
few months ago, that workhouse pris-
oners be sentenced so that they would
be released on Sunday. Judge Mont
gomery suggested this plan because
he believed it would have a good eff
feet on the prisoners in that the sa-
looms would not be open to tempt
them. Judge Leary said this theory
was correct insofar as it affected pris-
oners who had homes in Minneapolis,
but that it wrought hardship on pris-
oners who were without homes, work
or funds. practically IS per cent Of
the prisoners at the workhouse are
homeless and destitute" said Judge
Leary. "The moment they are released
from the workhouse it is up to them
to find work SO that they can live. If
we release them on Sunday it is prac-
tically impossible for them to find
work They must live, and the result
| is that some of their number commit
robberies that night. agree with
Judge Montgomery that it is good
plan to release men with homes on
Sunday, but transients should be re-
leased on week days, when they have
opportunities to find work"
With the schedule at st. Thomas al
most completed Coach Ryan is work
ing his charges hard with the idea Of
keeping intact the wonderful record
that they have made so far this year.
There has been no letup in number
of days and the Saints have attained
a polish and precision to their plays
that speaks no good for the remaining
teams on the schedule. The purple
and gray squad is working with tn ;
idea of going through the season with
out their goal line being crossed and
to date they have been successful. in
this they have record that is seldom
equaled. They have not had touch
down chalked up against them in two
years and but six points have been
scored against them, these being the
result of field goals. 1t is record
that they have a right to be proud of
and it accounts for lot of the fight
ing spirit that has been shown by the
team Today (Friday) they will line
