ALABAMA'S NEW PENAL LAW

1T was a hot time down in Ala
hama the other day, hot by the
mercury thermometer and by the
one that marks the rise and fall of
political emotions. For in the leg
islature, assembled at Montgomery,
there came up for discussion and
passage a bill that will change the
penal system of the State.
Alabama's penitentiary has hither-
to been under the supervision of a
convict board, appointed by the
governor. The stories of savage
cruelty practiced in the camps that
have crept about the State have
aroused a violent opposition to this
convict board that leases the pris-
oners to work in the mines The
new plan of prison commission, 4"
to be elected by the voters of the
State lifts the whole matter from
the hands of the governor; and that
vase where the opposition origin
ated The theatrical declaration Of
one member that the act stuck at
the power of the executive" was too
transparency PARTISAN to awake
any enthusiasm. The substantial
stories of terrible tasks imposed on
the convicts and fierce whippings
when thetasks were not accomplish
ed, were sufficient tproof that the
executive judgment had not been
sufficiently wise to master the situa-
ton. A change was necessary and
| the bill was passed by vote of
more than two to one. A second
law forbidding the leasing of con
victs is scheduled to pass immed-
lately, the attitude of the members
towards this commission bill BEING
evidence of its adoption.
One proof of the wider sweep OF
humanitarianism over the county is
the awakened interest in the Grim,
inal class and the desire to reform
rather than to brutalize those who
compose it. There is nothing that
so lowers a mans sense of morals
or his respect for authority as in
human corporal punishment durins
Incarceration. The stories from con
vict mines and camps are incon
trovertible evidence that we senc
too many of our missionaries abroat
and keep too few at home for ou
own moral perverts who are put il
authority over their convicted ant
helpless fellow creatures.
In this matter of prison reform
Alabama has taken long step for
ward, and the men who won vic
tory for the bill deserve the graft
tude and appreciation of the Who'll

The system has the agricultural nr
county high school as its keystone,
and its success has been almost

new methods. The schools are thor

boys to become scientific farmers,
and girls to become scientific home

Among plants natures limitations
