states and Japan is believed TO have re-
suited from the events in the House OF
Representatives last week connected with
the passage OF tho Burnett immigration

the House To include in the bill the pro-

Japanese into the United States. but even
more by the non-partisan appeal OF Rep

The evidence shown that in dealing with
such large matters OF international inn

THINKS NEW YORK JUDGES
TOO HARD ON CRIMINALS
superintendent Of Prisons
Wants Them Shorn of
Some Power.

Albany, Feb. S-Prison sentence without
term for first offenders, leaving 1t TO the
Board OF Parole TO determine how much
longer than one year any particular con-
Wet should serve, will be recommended to
the Legislature by John B. Riley. Super
intendent of the State Prison Depart
ment This is in line with the recommen-
dations of the Prison Reform Association.
Certain judges. especially in greater
New York" said Mr.. Riley, sentence
convicts for much longer terms for the
same offence than are generally imposed
by judges in other sections Of the state.
The prisoner who finds upon comparing
notes with his fellow convicts that he is
called upon TO serve ten years while his
associate is only required TO serve two
years and six months for the same Of
fence feels-and has the right TO feel
that a gross injustice has been done him.
II am strongly Of the opinion that the
penal law should be amended so that first
offenders, except for murder In any de-
gree and possibly some other repulsiVe
crimes, should be given a sentence with
out term, leaving it for the Board of Pa
role 10 determine how much longer than
one year the convict should serve.
III accounting for a decrease OF Sl,21S
in the net earnings OF the prisons in the
last year Mr. Riley names as an i'm
portant factor the dsquiet among the
convicts arising from recent investiga-
tons. Many of them were impressed
with the belief that their condition would
be improved by refusing TO comply with
the prison regulations" he says.
The prison population is only S. in eN-
cess OF last year. the total being f,oA.
OF this number 1,4i5. about one-third OF
the whole. are aliens. and Mr.. Riley
pointed cut that the proportion of aliens
is steadily increasing each year He will
recommend that provision should be made
for turning over aliens charged with
minor offences who have recently arrived

Washington. Feb. S.-Another memoer
Of President Wilson's Cabinet has Niclo-
ed TO the financial Inducements OF the
Chautauqua platform. William +. VIII
son. Secretary of Labor will lecture Tor
the same organization for which Secre-
tarv BRYAN worked last summer
Secretary Wilson will he billed with
the same attractions which we're mead
lined with Mr.. Bryan when he was cX-
,ensiycly advertised by the Chautauqua
management with the Tyrolean Alpine
yodlers and the prince OF jugglers
II is also announced that he will appear
"on the same platform and same day
with Clifford PinchOt, Progressive candi-
date for United states Senator in Penn
~ lvania.
Or. Paul VI. Pearson. OF Swarthmore
College. director Of the Pennsylvania
Chautauqua Association. in announcing
the added attractions Of the circuit, says:
Secretary of Labor William 3. Will
son and Clifford Pinchot arc the latest
accessions to the Chautauqua PLATFORM
and. to add a picturesque touch TO the
announcement, il is stated that they are
to 30 up to Pennsylvania and TO contend
with each other on the same platform

uphold the Democratic cause and Mr..
Pinchot will support the Progressive
platform. on which he is a candidate for
the United states Senate.
Secretary Bryan explained. in response
10 criticism about his leaving his Official
duties to lecture on the Chautauqua plat
FORM that his salary of $1,000 year
was insufficient TO meet his needs. de-
spite his income from other sources
President Wilson at that time declined
TO make any comment on the subject
Secretary Wilson is absent from the
city. but it is understood that he is de-
pendent solely upon his salary of $4,000
a year. having no private income.
Dir. Pearson says in his announcement
Of the appearance of Wilson and Pinchot:
Making A partisan speech on non
partisan platform is no new thing in the
Chautauuua This method means that
the people should pay for their own po-
litical campaigns instead Of letting the
corporations and big business pay for
them. The people provide all the cost
through their Chautauqua tickets. in
GLIDING the compensation Of the speakers
themselves. Thus a man is able TO make
an appeal for votes without having TO
draw on his own or his friends bank
account. Chautauqua puts campaigning
on a democratic basis.
TT is perfectly logical for the Chau-
tauqua to present political addresses.
None of the voiced good causes for which
Chautauqua stands. such as peace tenn
perance, child welfare and good citizen
ship, can be made effective without the
machinery of legislation and Of law en-
forcement. SO the people should be
given a free opportunity TO hear the
case Of all parties and men that appeal
for their suffrage. After they have heard
all sides presented they may vote as
they please without being subject to the
old fashioned partisan influence"
