CHARITY

There is much wisdom in the let
ters written by the late Mayor Gay
nor, and it is always piquantly ex-
pressed.
For instance; one, Robinson.
wrote him short time before his
death to remind him of an incident
in Gaynor's earlier career that was
highly creditable to him as law
yer and a man.
Robinson had been pressing a
bill against one, Tragman, and
Tragman employed Gaynor as his
attorney. Tragman asked Robinson
to visit Gaynor's Office to arrange
settlement, and when they entered
the debtor approached his attorney
and began to talk in a whisper.
Presently Gaynor broke out into
distinctly audible words: You
can't do any such thing. | won't
be your attorney if that is the way
you want to do business. Futher-
more, let me tell you that you will
land in a state prison if you don't
look out"
Robinson was reminded of this
incident by the fact that Tragman
had just died in the penitentiary,
and he wrote Gaynor about it. In
reply he got letter in which Mayor
Gaynor said that he remembe red
the incident well, that Tragman
had gone out of his vision some
way and that he had not known
that he had gone to the bad.
Then came one of the sentences
for which Mayor Gaynor was fam
Gus; and in it there is expressed a
philosophy which most people
would profit by making their own:
Those who have been temp
ted too little to fall are not
competent to Judge those who
have been tempted too much
to resist"
What do those whose lives have
been lived out Of the reach Of temp
tation know of the lives of those
who have lived neighbor to it al
ways?
What right have those who have
been tempted too little to fall'' to
Judge those who have been temp
ted too much to resist2''
Much of the charity. and instinct
for justice that made Gaynor loved
in spite of his austerity are crowd
ed into that sentence. Duluth

OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW IS LIseRr

The heading of this editorial is
cut two inches deep in the granite
over the entrance to little coun ty
court house in Massachusetts.
Within the court house, in the
main entrance hall. Is companion
motto, reading, Ignorance of the
Law is no Defense"
If all of us live up to the first
saying, we need never fear being
sent to an institution like this again.
Observance of that concise motto
spells Freedom.
Any man, who has reached the
age Of reason, knows the difference
between right and wrong. Our con-
science is true index. Every one
of us has a conscience, though it
may be more highly developed in
some than in all of us. Cultivate
that conscience of yours. Make it
flourish and grow. 1t will surely
tell you when you are doing right
and when you are doing wrong.
When you are doing something
wrong. fagrantly wrong, you are
pretty sure to be disobeying that
injunction. Obedience to the Law
is Liberty"
You do not have to know the
law to obey it. So don't ever plead
ignorance of the law as an excuse.
1t won't go. Try. always, to do
what is right. What your con-
science tells you is right. What
He, who loves you better than any
one else, would put his stamp of
approval on as being all right.
Then you cannot go far wrong.
And, to you men, who are going
out on parole after this meeting,
revise the motto above, in this
fashion: Obedience to the Laws of
God and Man is Liberty"
Live up to it and you will never
again see the inside of an institution
like this, except as visitor. The

er will be treated the same as a
patient sent to a hospital. He
believes that public sentiment
is not ripe for such law at pres
ent, but the time is not far distant
when they will be. In comparing
Minnesota's indeterminate SEN
tence law and the working thereof
with the same kind of a law in
other states, he said that he was
fully convinced that Minnesota
could feel proud Of herself, as it
was on the best working basis in
regards to it's paroled prisoners of
any state in the Union.
Mr.. Wolfer, does not believe
that public sentiment is in such
a sad state as some would have us
believe, and that he was certain
that when man showed that he
wanted to make good, he would al
ways find plenty of people to take
him by the hand and give him a
lift.
Supt. Reed, of of the Reformato-
ry made a few brief remarks in
regards to the needs of the
Reformatory in preparing the
young men of that institution with
trades making of them skilled la
borers. He said that most of their
men were mentally equipped but
without means. When a young
man goes on parole it is one of the
most important times in his life
he is going out to try and regain
that which he has lost. Institu-
tions must be conducted on normal
lines and not given over to theoriz-
ing to make success of their en-
deavors.
The afternoon session was taken
up with the various other numbers
on the program. During the lun-
cheon hour the visitors inspecte d
the vavious departments.

WANTS ATTORNEY
FOR PRISONERS
Parole Board Chairman Would Have As
sistant to Investigate Pleas for CIem-
enCy.

enCy.
Charles e. Vasaly, chairman of
the State Board of Control and also
of the Board of Parole, believes that
a special assistant should be provid-
ed i'll the attorney generals Office to
investigate the cases of prisoners
seeking elem ency. He also sug-
gests that this assistant be author
lied to aid deserving inmates of the
peritentiary and reformatory in pre-
senting their contentious either to
the Board of Pardons or the Parole
Board.
IF we are to follow the old idea
of revenge-an eye for an eye and
tooth for tooth''-said Mr., Vasa-
ly yesterday, we must let all pris-
oners serve out the whole time for
which they were committed. But, if
we are to grant pardons and paroles
and endeavor to reform our prison
ers and give them hope of something
better in the future, it is time that
some official investigation Of the
various cases deserving of consider
alton be made.
1T often happens that the Judge
who tried the case, the prosecuting
attorney and most of the jurors eth
er die or move away while the man
they convicted is serving his time.
When this happens and he has no
relatives left to intercede for him,
bis case is almost hopeless. 1t is a
living death for such man and if
he is at all deserving it would be
better for the state to aid him lead
an upright life as free man than to
keep him behind prison walls.
Mr.. Vasaly says that at the recent
convention of the American Prison
congress at Indianapolis suggestion
was made that an additional copy of
the record IN each criminal trial be
made and filed at the penitentiary.
This would enable the authorities al
ways to have the facts in the case at
their disposal and in case Of an ap-
plication for a pardon would save
the prisoner large expense should
a copy of the transcript be deemed
necessary"

able to care for himself. To dis
charge man from prison before
he is rid of the disease or crime
germ that caused him to commit
crime is an injustice to the man
as we'll as society at large. If a
man is discharged before he. is
completely cured he will no doubt
be in the same position as the
patient who is discharged from the
hospital before cured; suffer a re-
lapse and which may terminate in
to more destructive and loath-
some disease than the first.
Before man is discharged on
parole the Board of Parole has in
vestigated his previous habits,
tendencies, circumstances of the
crime etc., and perfectly sure in
their own minds that he will lead
a correct life when paroled. Then
another thing demanded is an ac-
counting for every day of the pris-
oner's past life, and if man has
three or four years that cannot be
accounted for, it is a foregone con-
clusion that it is period in his life
that he wants to hide-perhaps he
was in prison at that time and does
not want the Board to know it.
But without a record of this time
the Board will not grant parole.
The duties which rest on the
Parole Board are very delicate, for
there is nothing more difficult than
to decide the character of a man.
The physical condition of a man
up for parole is also taken into
consideration. Then the Parole
Agent finds a position investigates
the surrounding and other things
essential to the welfare of the pa
rolled prisoner. A monthly report
is required from each paroled man
and in it he gives an account of
the money earned and the money
on hand. 1t is the business of the
parole agent to see that these re-
ports are correct.
What Reformatories and Peni-
tentiaries need are a number of
trade producing industries so that
the men will leave the institutions
better able to cope with existing
conditions. The call today is for
skilled labor, and of skilled labor
ers the prisons have but few. That
is one of our needs.
Another need that is partly filled
is the cooperation of society. The
citizens of the state were appealed
to help in the reclamation work
and every county in the state with
the exception of two, have sup
piled voluntary agents to help look
after our paroled prisoners-31S
volunteers in all. Their duty is not
to bother or interfere with the
prisoners, but rather to offer ad-
vice, help and encouragement in
right living, in fact they are to
act as sort of a BIG BROTHER.
There is no State in the Union can
boast of as much sympathetic help
for paroled prisoners as Minnesota.
Of the number of men in the state
who are discharged prisoners no one
knows, no one has any way of
finding out, but again l can say
that there is not State in the
Union that knows as much about
its paroled prisoners as Minnesota.
There should be a law in force
to make the automatic transferring
of prisoners from St. Cloud Re-
formatory to the Penitentiary and
the ReformaJory Plan of senten-
cling prisoners should be repealed.
