Julian Hawthorne and Prison Reform

Julian Ha@thorne. who is serving term the federal prison Atlanta, has written article for "Good Words" paper published in the prison. in which he deals with prison reform and his own ez- perfences.

Said he: ~vEe had offended the munty and communitv was taking the legal and conventional method make for it."
 The fact is that community sorry for Mr. Hawthorne than desired him t. be- r he alone were to be considered. commupity would have been glad t. let him go for the memory his dis tngushed father and for his prominence in the literary world: also that the offense of which he was convicted that misleading facts about q mine in which he was interested. was com naitted without full realization of the seriousness of it. MT. Hawthorne is being punished, not t. make him sorrl but deter others from the com mission of like offenscs.

 Thus far we agree with the people of Flagstaff and of all parts the state who desirous of showing what they have in the way of attractions. We believe that vacations should, possi- bIe be spent in Arizona. since they cannot be profItabIy spent elsewhere, but think that our Flagstaff friends are wrong in insisting that all sociability runs be made that direction That would be unjust in the southern part of the state-to Yuma, for instance which is on the California route Tucson, Douglas and Bisbee which are the Fl Paso

Now and Then

TWO decisions or the supreme court of the United States this week measure the effect "t an aroused public opinion upon our courts as well as upon all servants of the people The decision dered on Tuesday could not would not have been rendered ton years ago. Such q regulation the rv imposes would have been regarded ridiculous. t, Information it intended develop would have been held to be none of the peoples business. The courts would dismissed fl uncon@titations without king tae trouble to below the surface tY sec if there vas something in it of interest to the public and if its violation of the eonstitu- tIon Was not onIy apparent.
 Prt sident Roosevelt was time bitterly criu- cised for comments upon the injustice of certain federal court decisions which strengthened the de- lenses that the great interests were throwing up against the people.

 The manufacturers of adultarsted foods at first regarded pure-rood laws as an Unconstitutional in- terterence with their rights. some good lawyers thought SO. or pretendeI think but the pro Iriety of pure-tood laws are nowhere questioned now.
 Ten years ago the supreme court decision in the Minnesota rate case would have been impossi- be. Within much less than years there have been many decisions Iv the highest court of which that of last Monday a reversal in principle.
 We are not to understand that the courts are now reIuctantIy lowing the rule of the people, We mean that the mental attitude of the courts IS well as of the people has undergone a change. The constitution is held 10 be less sacred now than it ever was but there has come recognition of its true purpose that it was intended be nstru- ment of justice and not instrument for protect ing and perpetuatine injustice. The time s passing when wrong find asylum within its intricate folds. The constitution is being suaightened out SO that we read it more clearly and know what means.
