The honor system received a severe
jolt when trrsty at Joliet, ILL.,, murdered
the wife of his jailor. Of course this may
be the exception that proves the rule, but
great caution should be exercised in giving
liberty to tonvicts.
We are very much afraid that sympathy
has gotten the best of our law makers and
that the Louisiana parole law extends to the
criminal more favors than safety warrants.
Objection is made that in the list of
convicts parolled since the law became op.
erative, there appears the names of several
criminals who have served only a small
portion of their sentences and that in conse.
quence their punishment has not been in
keeping with the gravity of the crime for
which they were convicted.
In this state there is wide difference
OF opinion as to what is proper punishment
for given crime, hence there is room for
doubt as to whether the portion of the sent
ence is proper or not.
We are not willing to subscribe to the
modern idea OF prison reform intoto, and
believe that the conviction for serious crime
should carry with it actual punishment and
that the convict should be forced to undergo
some hardships rather than reformed en-.
tirely by methods of kindness.
But the first question to be considered
in connection with the parole of a convict is
the safety of the public-a certainty that
the convict will not repeat the crime-and
the certainty that his release will not de-
stroy the deterrent effect on others, that his
conviction is supposed to produce.
There is q serious doubt as to whether
or not our present law meets these require
mentS.

Patriotism is noisy trait anyway, and
it makes the city editor particularly noisy
whenever he sees the boys about to nominate
Q few delegates: who do not exactly meas
ure up to the editors requirements. He
writes column after column of high and lofty
junk to get the people to call convention
and then he goes wild because he sees that
his convention will be run by politicians.
This fear that the peoples rights will be
trampled under foot produces great suffer-
ing IN the editor and the people should over
look the racket that he makes under such
distressful circumstances.

that the opposition to Secretary Wood
