THE HONOR SYSTEM.

By what course of reasoning the Arizona Gazette ar ryes ar the conclusion in the of Roy Meyers former inmate of the Florence penentiary who recently was arrested in New Orleans for Msappropriatng funds that the proof being crook at heart and his re- arrest s much more of vindication of the honor sys tenn than if he had been honest at heart n the first place, wronsfuy accused and sent to prison" is not clear in the absence of extended explanation To attempt to prove dproye the merits of the honor system SO dear to Governor Hunt by citing the Of
 single prisoner would be stupid but in it's application to Meyers how the of his latest oense did he benefit from it. or what was it's correctional elect defectiyes in the community?
 The high motives of Governor Hunt in establishing the honor system in Arizona not to be questioned The wisdom the action is another thing It is yet to be that any lasting benefits been Complshed On the other hand. much harm may have been done It would be impossible to define the of such harm because if it exists apprecabie quantity ii will be cumulative. It is contained in the iafluence which the honor system have upon minds of de fectves Before such unfortunates is paraded the fact that prisons in Arizona prisons literal sense that justice has relaxed almost point of amiabe p ability that sentence imposed by courts will be so tempered that it's punatve value will be lost Sentences are imposed not alone punishnents to offenders for crimes committed but also an almonition to others tha: the laws must he obeyed Fear of the law" is as automatic today before reformcrs were nspired by aItrustic purposes.
 The honor system inevitably disarms the severity held by most penoogsts necessary in dealing with criminals Its assume at the onset that all criminals are detectives and their next step is q sweeping effort to provide cure all for the various types of defectives who sent to prison The Iima uons imposed by prison precincts do not seem to enter into their calculations what good resultg may re sOuably be expected.
 if it be granted that some good results are obtaiJ through the honor system it is equally fair to make
 concession to those who believe that the moral ef iec Is harmful to many outside prison who are held ih restraint by wholesome fear punishment alone
 That Meyers did violate the conditions os bi parole proves nothing It was because he uas risa enough perhaps to appreciate the benefits which be could enjoy solely by being trustioIe that he s'rieuy on honor" But when his sentence was Chr, peed he apparently reverted ais vicious inclpatons immediately.
 S@htifnentalty and aItruistic strivngs were eIip mated from the honor system would there ba er,,a left to warrant its further consideration?
