THE GOOD OF THE WICKED.

week ago Philip O'Rourke, convict with six wears
still to in Joliet prison. paroled ON the 'honor
farm got drunk and decided>to escape It was not SO
hard to do because he was his honor and was not
guarded. He got away and not caught. Then he
began to think ftover The prospect six years more
of menal servude cannot be very bright A man who
has been convicted of killing another is not usually
thought to feel the ordinary restraints and duty
to society strongly 1t hardly to be
that this convict would return. But Philip O'Rourke
thought it over for week. He decided he was not
playing square with the boys" who had put him on his
honor and who would be his failure to keep
his word. And he returned. f... .tEs
That is something for to think about It is no
proof that every convict is hero it is proof that
every convict can be paroed with safety. But it may
well make ask: When have right to say that
man Is no longer anything but burden society that
he has longer the capacity for any good? With this
the law probably did not weigh very heavily Six
years Of freedom was worth taking chance for But
he felt his moral obligation play square with the men
who had trusted him and done their best to make His
imprisonment easier
