TRY THE LAWS WE HAVE.

One result of recent Investigations
has been a demand for very severe
penalties as a means of abolishing COM
mercialized vice-some are for fiogging,
others for life imprisonment. Such i'm
patience for drastic measures, says the
Springfield. Mass. Republican. is a
natural consequence of a reform wave,
but needs to be resisted. In emotional
with lynch law, which also has it's
origin in Impotence of results.
When the public is hot with indigna-
ton at discovering how bad the con-
ditions really are. which it has been
weakly tolerating the first impulse is
to pass harsher laws. But the evil is
one to be cured not by passing laws
but by enforcing them. If year in
and year out the police and the courts
and the public spirit behind the courts
and the police will not get offenders
into Jail it is of no use to prescribe
hanging or drawing and quartering-
society must not put it's anger at it's
own remissness into the penal code.
Mild laws suffice. providing they are
firmly and invariably enforced, and dis
proportionate severity Is itself one OF
the worlds old evils from which we are
trying to work away. To return to cruel
penalties would be a misfortune, and
there can be no excuse for such a re-
action until the efficacy of moderate
punishments las been tested. We want
laws that can be enforced at all times
and not merely while spasm of moral
zeal is at IFS height
