JUDGE SCORES
THE HONOR SYSTEM
An Oakland dispatch says: &:


Taking the ground that criminal is
not normal human being. but is one
who is morally deficient and opposing
the indiscriminate extension rf the
honor convict" system. Judge J. L.
Frick of the supreme court OF Utah
today addressed the convention o! the
American prison association.
AS soon as a moral weakling is dis.
covered our first efforts should be to
overcome his weakness before il forces
him into an active criminal career"
said Judge Frick Il entertain little
hope Of ever reforming confirmed
criminal.
I'm view that there are some among
those who are sentenced TO prison who
have Il sincere desire TO avoid further
crimes, there are many, among which
number are some prison officials. who
have conceived the idea that all men
are the same and since some can be
trusted all may be and. therefore. all
that is required to reform a criminal
is TO place unrestricted trust and con
lidenCc in him. That is, all that Is
needed TO reform him is to call him n
man of hOnor'-and. presto change. he
becomes man of honor. Such
method of dealing with confirmed
criminals is as peTniCous in practice
as II is illogical in reason. II treats
an abnormal human being as though
he were perfectly normal The result
is that II sets at large the most dan
gcrous criminals we have TO deal

inal himself TO thus deal with that
class Is merely 10 tempt them. To
say TO the confirmed criminal. Go; I
trust in your honor is n mere waste
of confidence. No man can yield that

TELLS OF VISIT TO
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

count of the recent visit of Professor

nedy TO study the fault scarp made
by the recent earthquake was pro-
ductive of some interesting informa-
ton. The fault runs along the west
side of the Havala (Sonoma) range.
which is on the east side of Pleasant
valley. The fault occurs on the buun.
Diary line between the steep slope of
the range and the alluvidc fan,
spreading out over the valley. The
fault is normal and the displacement
is supposed TO have been caused by
tremendous pressure from below. The
throw was largely vertical. with a
light horizontal swing 10 the north.

clearly defined erosion channel At
the time of the disturbance large jets
of water were forced upward in this
channel, as is shown by several large
water holes or mud cracks. The big
Sest throw took place at the Pearce
ranch, where a fault scarp of over
twelve feet is revealed. To the mort h
and south of this place he size of the
displacement lessons TO five feet. At
The southern end the fault branches
into several large cracks which turn
sharply to the west Slight disturb
ances are still being felt at Golconda
and Kennedy. Fortunately. the
shock took place in a sparsely settled
district. If the country in the Yicin-
ity of the displacement had been
thickly settled the earthquake would
have been disastrous.
In Grass Valley. to the north of
Pleasant Valley, there is an old fault
scarp showing a displacement that oc-

their outdoor life they gave the

ever offered in Hot Springs, 1t is a
bill of surprising excellence from
every standpoint with the greatest
galaXy of screen stars ever shown in

The first feature of the bill is the
perturbation by the California Mo

Rice's great human interest comedy
drama. Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage

carries one in rapid succession from
