The editor of the Newport Express
and Standard, has given an inter-
esting editorial expressing his APP
prevail of the law which admits of the
placing on probation boys liable to
punishment for misdeeds. Both good
feeling and sound reasoning are evident
in that argument intended to promote a
general understanding of the difference
between old and new ideas in laws
designed for the protection of society.
Enlightened people today believe that
the general welfare can be the more
readily insured by such laws as tend to
help law-breakers who may still be sus-
ceptible to good influence. When such
persons at the very outset of their
career are sent to prison, in nine cases
out of ten they go from there the worse
for their experience, both as regards
their personal character and their
prospects in the struggle for the means
of subsistence; and thus heavily hand-
capped they must associate with hard
ened, cynical companions. The certain
right of the weaker members of society
to charitable consideration of the more
fortunate should be borne in mind by
those who are inclined to distrust lenity
to offenders as means for the better.
ment of social conditions, forgetting
that our religion obliges us to be
merciful and helpful
An exercise of the pardoning power
on the part of state officials, and trial
of the probation law will not, in every
case, be warranted by good results; but
giving all those liable to penalties a
helping hand is just as necessary as are
the noble efforts to cure sufferers from
forms of disease. All this and much
more was stated in the article men,
toned which is. sure to do much
good.

Sunshine for the HeIpIess

The New England Sunshine Associa-
ton is one of the smallest of the
societies of this character, having only
few hundred members and few
dozen workers, where some of the other
societies have thousands of members
and hundreds of workers. Since this
society has no reserve fund and but few
wealthy helpers, all of the work and
most of the expense falls upon the
officers and few workers. This con-
dition, however, often brings the work.

with the shut-ins than is possible in the
larger societies.

number for the entire year. and those
persons who live under the American

of one-half of this amount. Small and
