him that his funds had been invested

by a curious coincidence was also To-

He sat and waited until calluses

and devoid of interest. The only eX-
ed has no action and its story is trite
cuse for the production of play of
this kind is that it deals with a sub
ject sufficiently unpleasant to provoke
discussion; discussion brings patron
age and patronage pays bills; hence
efforts of this type seldom lack book
ing.
As far as the play itself is concern
ed it is not worth discussing. 1t is not
shocking, neither is it interesting, nor
does it serve any worth while purpose
The subject matter it contains is as
old as the hills and will continue to be
a problem as long as men and women
are men and women but a puerle eff
fort such as this. hopelessly weak ano
presented by lamentably incompetent
cast, is never going to help matters;
even though every word spoken on the
stage is true
We know that the conditions depict
ed in the play are true. They do not
only apply to San Francisco; it was
the same after the Parkhurst and
LeXOW campaigns in New York. Every
big city and most of the small cities
have gone through it; but no hack
writer turning out a slovenly compo-
sition on the subject is going to solve
the problem; he is no public benefac-
tor, but a nuisance and a menace and
the stage is better off without him and
the trash he writes.
Sex plays are bad enough when writ
ten by great men and enacted by ia
nous artists on the legitimate stage;
but when the mediocre author with
his potboiling trash turns to cheap
vaudeville to air his views it is even
worse. The solution Of this question
is great problem. it has to be recOg-
nized and gone after. Some people
have one idea in regard to it while
others hold a totally different one and
each are entitled to respect 1t may
be settled to the satisfaction Of every
body some day; but it will never be
through the agency of the vaudeville
stage.

 Three convicts, all paroled from the state prison within the past six months will be returned to the pen this morning by Under Sheriff Woolf and Officer Gaskin. They wifi be taken back for committing the same crimes for which they were fomerly sent over the road, all having been caught here, and all having pleaded guilty when arraigned."

advertise the great merits of some patent medicine, that only needs to be taken to prove its virtue. He says that those who advocate the killing of criminals raise the cry of protection of society as mask. Now, impugning peoples motives because they differ with his notions shows a narrow -mindedness hardly to be eX pected from a Professor A. M. Such evidence of a narrow mind is looked for among uneducated bigots, and is rarely to be found among teachers. He espouses the cause of Marshal PeterSon'S murdererS, and of the fel- low who threw red pepper into the eyes of an officer while in the dis charge of his duty. Marshal Peter son was a brave, conscientious off cer. The people of Mesa slept more peacefully when they knew that Pet erson was on guard. The loss of one such man as Peterson amounts to more than the hanging of twenty murderous villains.
 The ignorance of moral philosophy shown by the professor is only equal ed by his narrowness when he inn pugns the motives of four fifths of the people of the state. He says criminals are mentally wrong. If he would study sociology he would find that the element of fear is the last to desert the mentally unsound, hence they fear the rope. The fellow who shot ex-president Roosevelt fol- lowed him through six states to shoot him in state where they do not hang murderers The anarchist who followed the Empress of Austria TO Switzerland to stab her to death sald he did so because he knew they had no capital punishment in Switzerland Moral philosophy would teach the professor that murder is not the re- suit of one act or thought but is the full fruitage of many criminal acts and thoughts which have led up to the great crime. Pope says,
 "Vice is a monster of so frightful
 That to be hated needs but to be
 seen;
 But seen too oft, familiar with her
 
 face,
 We first endure, then pity, then
 embrace"
 The maudln sentiment that would pamper and make excuses for crime and find fault with our courts, and with those entrusted with the eXecu- tion of our laws, is breeding condl- ton that bodes no good for society or the criminal. When people lose confidence in the courts, just in that proportion dc they drop back toward the state of savagery, and justice IS often quite swift

at the pen for breaking promises of good conduct, and the sheriff has got ten into the habit of calling up the prison superintendent Florence for identification of all men taken under arrest The records show an increase of 62 per cent in crimes in 1913 over 1911, and an increase of 104 in the last two years oyer the two years just preceding statehood. So we are bound to conclue that Prof Colodny A. M, is writing on subject which he has not fully investigated and it would seem that the scientific me- thod of penology' must have slipped a cog in it's scientific whirl. The professor says that these convicts have found their maven under the hill" To this we agree. because ot the fact shown by our county records that they are anxious to return there.
 Prof. Isadore COlodny, A. M, says that preachers used to preach hell. but that now they educate people He had just said there were many educated ones in the pen. There is but one book that teaches hell or hea ven; that book mentions hell about forty times and heaven but five or ten times more. There are many people who express belief in that book. even at the expense of being called belated by the professor. He undertakes to tell us what Christ would do to the criminal. Christ taught the law of love, but to those who refused to accept that law he taught the eternal damnation of their souls. which is certainly many times worse than hanging by the neck un- til dead Yes, many people believe the old book that says, Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set In them to do evil
 The nrofessOr's second article is given mostly to finding fault with our courts and officials. He seems to take A decided stand against society and in favor of the criminal. l think we have heard this from other sources. This is the stock in trade of the gentlemen called anarchists. They make great complaint against society and want to take the law lnto their own hands, taking what other people have and appropriating it for their own use without compensa- tion.

The big distinctive feature of the program is the first installment of

This story is attracting probably more attention throughout the country than any other serial ever issued. from the conjunction of facts that it is from the pen of a famous writer, is played by Miss Pearl White, a famous actress. is produced by Pathe, d worlds famous company, and at the same time the story is running in serial form in forty eight of the greatest news papers of the country.
