Success O. Woman's
CLUB Work Shown

At the business meeting of the
Woman's Club of Lakeland last week
very gratifying reports We're made
as to the entertainment OF the State
Federation. The pitality com
mittee reported $50 women placed in
homes at the various hotels and pri-
vate homes of our city, while others
who were visitors were not enrolled
in this number.
The financial report was carefully
itemized and due credit given for
every one Of the many kindnesses
rendered in this line that have thus
placed our Lakeland Woman's Club
free from any financial strain in the
matter. AS a summary 1t may be
said that there has been earned and
accumulated since Oct. 1 $719.09.
and the cost of the Federation meet
ing was $679.75, leavisg balance
in the treasury of 1884.

portunity to thank the Lakeland

with exceptions here and there, he
is in all ways a more dangerous ele-
ment in the community than he was
before.
No effort has been made to reach
the good that was in him; rather
has it been suppressed, and with as
sociations of the worst kind he is
hardened in his criminal purposes
and his chief mental employment is
the Development of a cunning that
will beat the Jaw" when he is
again at liberty and ready to renew
his criminal life. We are turning
such fellows loose every day from
the convict camps of Florida, and
the authors of many of the wors,
crimes committed in this State are
ex-convicts who have been made
over into fiends by the brutishness
of mere physical punishment and
the constant atmosphere of crime
and sullen resentment in which
they lived.
We need many reforms in this
world and especially in this part of
the world, but none of them is more
urgent than new system of pencil
oey that will reverse the present or
der that makes liberated convicts
more dangerous criminals than thew
were before.

PRIMITIVE BRUTISHNESS
OF OUR PENAL LAWS

The new maxim in penology is
that penitentiaries and convict
farms are for the treatment of crime
with a view to it's cure-not for the
punishment of criminals. It is
shocking to think that through
thousands of years in which the
human race in various stages of
civilization has been dealing with
its criminals. the only idea has been
that of british punishment, the re-
taliatlon O. the savage for an injury
done. and there has been little or no
thought of reforming the criminal
and preparing him to leave his place
Ct punishment a better man than
when he entered it and with his
reason convinced that crime doesn't
pay.
In some parts of the country prog
ress is being made away from this
cruel. senseless and primitive notion,
but for the most part the world has
stood still on this vital issue, and to
get even with the criminal by his
physical punishment continues to be
the policy of States and peoples pro-
Tossing to be humane and enlight-
ened. This is not only bad for the
convict, but very much worse for So
ciety, for when he comes out of
prison he is confirmed in his hatred
of the forces that punished him, and,

With the weight of evidence over

the Pensacola Journal reaches out
for every scrap of support it can

the effect that nobody has ever been
