adult life. ii Is all the easier TO reform
the criminal.
This criminal is really unbalanced in
some part OF his nervous system, espe-
cially is there a disturbance in the func-
tionai activity Of the Central Nervous
system. We know that the neurons OF
the system are controlled and fed by
the hormones. those strange chemical
substances OF the body. which go to
keep every organ working properly. But

from legal or moral point Of view. and
placing him upon honor. or probation,
was inviting the disaster which followed
unerringly
When it is understood that the in
grained or habitual criminal, the pre-
destined pervert, who began lying and
stealing when he was six years of age
can no more control his impulses than
could this poor deluded v K. how
can any sane man think it wise. or even
possible to put criminal of this type
upon his honor?
Honor implies high moral sense, but
the criminal has usually not manifested
any sense of this lofty moral view. but,
on the contrary, has shown in every
way that if he is not immoral he is GER
tainly immoral For the impulseive GRIM
inal is rather to be placed among those
who lack moral sense. and are immoral,
reared in morality. still violate the moral
law. and place themselves in the rank
If the immoral.
There is every reason to treat the GRIM
inal no matter what his type. humanely.
Penologists have long since outgrown
the idea that Imprisonment should be
made cruel punishment for the wrong

course, be the reform of the criminal
wherever that is possible, but we must
not try to do the impossible. and expose
the innocent TO the murderous outbursts
OF criminals out of mistaken pity.
Nor should the prison be made too at
tractive, so that Imprisonment loses all
Of Its deterrent power. The hardened
criminal actually laughs among his fell
lows at the philanthropists who strive
SO hard to soften his terrible fate"
The prospect Of Imprisonment should
not be pleasant prospect, If it is to aid
at all in preventing the thoughtless and
careless from committing crimes.
The honor system breaks down at
times even in SO fine an institution as
Annapolis, where great stress is laid
upon high ideals, and the students ara
supposedly selected from among the best
families In the land. If this be the
case how can we'll balanced men and
women deem it advisable to introduce
an honor system among those proven
destitute of all sense OF right. There
may be some method Of selection de-
vlsed hereafter for separating the sheep
from the goats, when the honor system
might be applied to the former, but as
yet we are in no position to draw this
line clearly, and the honor system seems
out OF the question for tested and~tried
criminals.

CARNIVAL DRAWS CROWDS
Nearly 5000 Visit Attractions at the
Rutland Fair Grounds

Merry throngs of spectators esti-
mated at nearly 5000. thronged the

Tuesday evening and visited the var
ious shows OF the Capt Latlip Carni-
val company which is showing there
under the auspices OF Rutland lodge
of Moose, all OF the various conces-
sions of the big show doing good
business Practically all OF the
shows had double performances.
The Lnken's wild animal show con
tinues to be the feature attraction
The little lion tanner captivated the
big crowd and was deserving OF a
great deal OF credit for her clever
handling of the fierce beasts under
her care During the entire act there
were three lions, bear, leopard
and a panther in the cage with her
and her only means of defense was a
revolver, loaded with blank cartriges
and a small pointed steel bar
During the show all of the lions
We're restless and showed disposi
tion to start something. and the big
lion Pete was only subdued by a
fierce lashing with a whip and the fir
ing of the revolver several times, al
most in his face The lion had a par
ticularly bad record and no person
has ever been able to touch his body
according to members of the show
The pony show was also clever.
Many people We're attracted Tues
day evening by the diving girls which
is a big feature of the show and Miss
May OLoughlin, in particular, drew
considerable applause
Franks circus side show which con
solidates 10 shows in one had fine
list of performers and attractions
rarely ever seen in the big circuses
This includes Frank Blasser, the
broom king, who claims to make the
smallest brooms in the world and
makes his product under the eyes of
the audience, completing broom in
less than three minutes. Mr.. Blasser
has been with big circuses for over
SO years and was in Rutland 2S years
ago with the Pawnee Bill Wild West
show.
Another feature is Miss May Blass
er. the snake charmef, who also has
large variety of snake pelts and
other curiosities on exhibition. Nine
Electro. who claims to be filled with
electricity through the peculiar effect
of being struck by lightning, Marcel
lice, an East Indian hynotist; Lion
ettte, fancy paper tearer and ]
Openshaw and magician are also in
cluded in this show.
The carnival is to be in Benning-
ton next week under the auspices Of
the fire department and will be locat-
| cd on Morgan park.

THE COUNTY PICNIC
Willard w. Bartlett Trains Prospect
i've Contestants

Willard w. Bartlett secretary of
the Bennington County Improvement
association. for a number OF years
in charge of y. NJ. c. A. work in New
York city, and experienced in athlet-
ic sports, has kindly consented to
train any persons desirous of enter
ing the contests at the county picnic
and field day at Arlington, Friday,
June 25 1t is not too early to begin,
nor is it too late. if acted upon soon.
The committee on publicity is anx-
ious that no one should be left out
who is planning to enter into any OF
the numerous sports for that day. II
makes an appeal to all the Sunday
schools to make an effort the coming
Sunday and the first three days OF
the coming week to canvas among
the scholars and secure all the names
possible, sending the list of same to
Mr. Bartlett as soon as possible. The
more scholars enlisted the bigger the
attraction and the greater the sue
cess of the picnic.
The grounds at Arlington are being
put in fine shape and everything thus
far points to an even better time than
was enjoyed last year. Not one word
of unfavorable criticism has been
heard about last years picnic and
thus far, no cold water has been
thrown on this years. Remember
everybody's welcome, whether they
belong to Sunday school or not; il
is designed to make it county affair
open to every citizen, every boy and
every girl. Will you not join the var
ous committees in helping to make
it everything that it should be?
