WHEN GARDNER WAS A CHILD.

The Bath Times in political advertise
ment asked Halbert Gardner to explain
Why, when in the legislature, he voted
against Woman Suffrage?
Why he voted against the Initiative
and Referendum?
Why he voted against the election of
United States Senators by the people?
Why he was silent when the order for
the investigation of giving railroad passes
to State officers was killed in the Senate?
And how this record squares with
Progressive" principles?
Thursday evening, August goth, Mr..
Gardner addressed a meeting in Bath and
gave very clear explanation of these
matters as the Bath Times had request
ed. He said that when these matters
were before the legislature he was young
and inexperienced and voted as he was
told by his Republican friends.
In short, when Halbert Gardner was
a young boy of some thirty years
he was led gently by the hand by the old
er and more experienced in the legisla-
ture, who exerted over him an absolute
control. Hal has grown up now and can
think for himself. When he was a mere
boy of thirty-seven he did jus: as he was
told to do. See him in the play hours of
the legislature beirg leased by the older
fellows; can you not catch picture of
little Hal? Says an older fellow:
"Hal, beat it down street and fetch
me Pippin. land down street runs
poor little Hal after the Pippin.
Says another older fellow, somewhat a
bully:
"Hal, take your cap and black my
shoes"-and down on his knees goes

USTIcE PARADED AS JUSTICE WHEN 1T SENTENCED GIRL BABY
OF TEN TO PRISON FOR LARCENY

FOR LARCENY
pressed on her plastic little brain but
that society was her foe?
And society that took a baby of ten
years and imprisoned her for larceny
has mercilessly punished her ever
since, but what has that punishment
accomplished? For twenty-six years
she has spent the most of her time in
prisons.
1t is horrible to contemplate. 1t
makes me feel as though in some re-
spects we are standing still and
looking back instead of forging
ahead.
Why, you mothers of babies, how
many of your little ones do not oc-
casionally take a penny that does not
belong to them? l took pennies when
l was hungry little girl. l remem-
Der one time when l, too, was ten, L
took all of five cents and bought a
chocolate Easter egg, but when
mother discovered it, she did not have
me sent to prison, but she patiently
explained that the five cents l had
taken from her would have bought
loaf of bread for my sisters and
my brother, and that because l had,
taken the money that didn't belong
to me, in my little stomach was an
Easter egg, while my brothers and
sisters wouldn't have even a piece of
bread.
And how bitterly cried, and then
ran errands for the neighbors until 1
had five pennies in my moist little
palm and mother understood and
took them from me, and called me
her honest little girl that would never
take anything again that did not be-
long to her. =.
And l never did take anything
again, but it wasn't because l had
been punished; it was because moth
er had taken the time to show me

OF TENTo PRISON
BY Jane Whitaker.
Woman of thirty-six in Jail for
twenty-six years"
1t was the heading of news item
in a paper, and l read it twice to be
sure that my eyes had not deceived
me. But no, the news item itself said
that Annie Alexander of Pittsburgh
had just been sentenced to the West
ern penitentiary for robbing jewelry
store. That her prison record in
cludes two terms at Morganza, the
first imposed when she was only ten
years old; two in Auburn penitentiary
and three in the Western peniten-
tiary. In each case she was COM
mitted for larceny.
That is the best answer l can give
to the woman who wrote to me sug-
costing that criminals should be pun
ished to stamp out crime.
1t is more than that, it is the most
terrible arraignment of our civiliza-
ton that has come to my attention.
Imagine imprisoning baby of ten
for a crime of stealing. A girl too
young to know that stealing was
wrong; too young to realize more
than that the thing she took was the
thing she coveted in her eager little
soul.
Think of placing her in prison with
criminals; a child that should have
been given love and care and guild
ance, a child that should have been
taken to her mothers knee and gent
ly told the wrong of stealing.
Thing of the cruelty of shutting
her away from the glad freedom of
baby days. Shutting her away from
her dolls, away from romps with
other children, away from love, away
from goodnight kisses, away from
every soft influence of life, she that
was just.a little baby thing with her
