.oAMENT
SsARY EVIL
n or PSYCHOLOGY
KS THArslr SHOULD
BE ABOLISHED.

"a City, Dec. 21.--"Punishment II
ecessary evil, a temporary make
It, with no sound psychological
stifcation, and society should looi
onward to its final abolition as an IN
stitutiOn and the substition OF otnel
and more scientific corrective meas
ures."
This is the striking statement which
DIR. Ellsworth Faris, assistant prores
sor OF psychology, in the University OF
Iowa, made at the meeting of the
American Psychological association al
the University Of Chicago this week.
DIR. Faris analysed the theories al.
vanced as reasons for punishment ano
showed how each is without souno
basis. "Bentham and Mill advocated
punishment for deterrence on the
ground that men act from fear OF pain
and from. love of pleasure" Dr. Farls
said. This can be shown TO be un-
tenable. We act as the result OF In
stincts and impulses, and the criminal
usually. acts without counting the
costs. To threaten the criminal with
penalty may deter him in his sober
moments but it will have small eject
on him in his passionate hours.
\. Another justification for punish
anent Is that the natural impulse to
resent an injury demands the punish
ment OF the criminal. The objection
to this is that il an offender belongs
to our own group we do not resent IT.
liz he belong to totally foreign group
we destroy without punishment. Inc
instinct. of resentment does not oper-
ate save under very abstract and DIS
connected circumstances. 1t Is only
when the criminal is an unknown and
neutral stranger that the strict punish
ing attitude is assumed But society
now refuses to deny some part even
in the formation of the criminals
habits. The criminal is, therefore,
therefore, within the group and in
sstinct of revenge is not natural.
"A, third psychological justification
for punishment is the feeling within
the criminal that he ought to be pun
ished. Everyone feels that ne snoulo
make atonement for his wrongs But
this can be shown to be due to seeing
inflicted and to being
blamed for offenses. 1t is not an IN
stinct. but is the result Of social inter
course.
IA final justification of punishment
is that N produces reformation. Inc
testimony of those best qualified to
Judge renders this position very doubt
full. Criminals come out OF prisons
better sometimes, but always in spite
OF and not on account of the prisons.
IT is the kindness shown them, or the
interest taken in them, that produces
the reformation"

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-10-20

No one at all familiar with the az
ricultural resources of Vermont can
help feeling disappointed, not to say
ashamed, at the state S exhibit at the
national dairy show. This does not ap-
ply to the work of the boys and girls
but to the showing in the Vermont
tent. Not only were the exhibits medic
ere in quality but their arrangement
was poor and the decorations were
cheap and tawdry. The Reformer does
not know who was responsible for this
contribution but it does know that If
failed entirely to give an adequate idea
of Vermont s achievements in any line
Of agricultural endeavor. When the
state is again called upon to produce
evidence in this direction let us hope
that it will make a representative eff
fort.

THE FLOUR RING PIN

The Touring pin is a deadly form Of
concealed weapon, which in tha hands
of brawnJ wife with long standing
grievance, is ohC of the most terrify-
ing objects in existence. Society has
often been asked why il is that our
state legislatures prohibit man from
carrying an automatic six-shooter in
his left hip pocket and ynt allow the
Touring pin TO lay around The house,
where it can be used to intimidate nus
bands who have done nothing except
to become ihv'goratingly picked.
The Touring pin was created for the
sublime mission of making pic crust
In the early stages of civilization It
was impossible to secure bakers pies
and save the coupons with which to
secure an aluminium teapot. As re-
suit, our forefathers were constantly
troubled with variable-speed indiges-
ton, as can be seen at once by consult
ing any photograph album running
back to the Henry Clay period When
one thinks of the intrepid, tungsten
steel character of the pie crust made
before the invention of the Touring
pin and remembers that it was eaten
morning, noon and night, he becomes
filled with admiration for his ancestors
and their rugged, shrapnel-proof appe-
tites.

Addison Runs Over Mountain.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
We will bet a red apple that not
one resident in 100 in Windham coun-
ty can tell without looking at the map
or at a state directory, what counties
are passed through in going by the
regular railroad route from Brattle-
boro to Montpelier. The answer of
most well-informed persons will be
Windham, Windsor, Orange and Wash
ington. But there is another. If you
don t know what it is look it up and
you will have one small item of infor
nation to your credit for the day
Brattleboro Reformer.
Not many railroad travellers know
or stop to think that between the sta
tions of Braintree and Roxburv a cor
ncr of Addison county juts across the
line. Query: If East Granville should
furnish a governor sometime, to which
side Of the mountain would he belong ?

GOAT AND PEACOCK.

you're a stupid Goat" said the Pea
cock. "Your very family name means
that you have no sense at all. OF
course, it's shame, and I'm sorry for
you, but | am thankful that | am not
goat" And the Peacock Strutted
around the Barnyard and looked at the
Goat in the Field alongside with a
very plying look.
you needn't feel sorry for me at
ALL" replied the Goat, ''and what's
more | don't want your sympathy. It's
useless to me. l only like things that
are useful. I'm no great hand for
beauty"
Il should say not" said the Peacock
as he looked admiringly at his own
lovely Feathers. "No one would ever
say you We're beautiful, would they,
poor old Goat?"
stop calling me poor old Goat, or
I'll give you a good poke with my
head"
For little while the Peacock said
nothing, but still he marched around
vainly spreading his Tail
DNAoIC MAIL CdI1c ulOnS WITH
lots and lots of Paint Brushes and
Paints and Boards. He sat down on a
little Stool he carried, and then he said
TO himself:
"Ah, I've just been longing to find
Peacock like that one over there to
Paint. He'll make such a beautiful
Painting. He is certainly exquisite"
The Pencock was very happy when
he heard the Man admire him and he
edged up by the side of the Fence near
where the Goat was walking.
Listen to me, Goat" he whispered
Don't you speak to me for long time
Not while the Man is sitting on the
Stool. For he is going to Paint
Picture of me and he calls me e-x-q-u-i-
Site. l should not want him to think
that such a wonderful Peacock, who
was so lovely to look at that he had
to be Painted, was any Friend of a

this favor. If you promise not to speak
to me | will not call you stupid for
three days, and | will even say know

Vermont a Creditor State.
(Rutland News.


OF the total deposits in the Yer
mont savings banks and trust com
panies-over $102, 1000, 000-nearly $49,-
100000 is loaned on real estate out
side of Vermont, as against $23,-
l45,s22 on real estate in Vermont.
Some of the comment on this compare
tive showing leans toward criticism of
the financial institutions for loaning so
much of their available assets outside
the state, but the Rutland News has
no idea that the criticism is well
founded. Vermont is q creditor state.
Only a minority of our people are Dor
rowers. The probabilities are that all
Legitimate needs at home are taken
care of by the banks and that they
are compelled to do the bulk of their
business of loaning money on real es-
state and other securities elsewhere.
Indeed, there is no evidence adduced
that any Legitimate application for a
loan by any Vermonter at a fair rate
of interest has ever been refused 1t
is possible that the banks collectively
might stimulate the development of
new home industries, thus necessitat-
ing the borrowing of a greater amount
of money, but that is an entirely diff
ferent phase of the money situation
1t would probably be to the interests
of the banks to develop a strong com
mercial department whose object it
would be to foster and promote new
industries in Vermont.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
BIG ATTRACTION TOMORROW.
Carefully Selected Cast in The Princess
Pat, Comic Opera.

The Princess Pat, John Cort's pro
duction of the Henry Blossom Victor
Herbert comic opera, with Miss Ruth
Welch and a carefully selected east
after its highly successful run of 100
consecutive performances at the Cort
theater, New York and - weeks at
the Park Square theater, Boston, will
be the welcome attraction at the Audi
forum matinee and night, tomorrow
Messrs. Blossom and Herbert have be-
come so well established as eollabora-
tors in the sromposition of light and
comic Operas-thaa any work from these
gifted men attracted more than pass
ing attention; They have to their cred
1t such other pronounced successes as
Mile. Modiste, The Red Mill, The
Prima Donna and The Only Girl The
five productions are the only ones on
which Blossom and Herbert have col
laborated. They have all proven posi-
tive hits artistically and have been
wonderful money makers, both for pro-
ducers and authors. The story of The
Princess Pat has to do with the fiirta-
tions of the Princess Patricc di Mon
taldo (nee Patrice o 'Connor), who is
called Pat, for short Her husband has
of late displayed a lack of demonstra-
ton in his affection for her, and to
bring him to that condition again as
well as to save her friend, Grace Hol-
brook, from a marriage to a man many
years her senior, but disgustingly
wealthy, she starts little affair with
the old dutfrr that serves to accom-
plish her purpose, but, in the mean
time, created havoc with the happiness
of her husband and the majority of
others concerned in the play. The book
contains an abundance of scintillatinp
lines, while the score of Victor Herbert
is, as usual, a joy to hear. There are
20 numbers, and every one of them is
distinctive of the brilliancy of the
celebrated composer.-Adv.

parative figures are not expected from
less fortunate communities like Barre,
Montpelier, st. Adams, st. Johnsbury
and Bennington.-Br Reform
er.
The Reformer appears to be pushing
in chips looking for a raise. As to
Brattleboro s increased postoffice re-
ceipts it is perhaps due to the fact
that after one experience people do not
90 to Brattleboro, but merely write let
tiers, while Bennington and other towns
they are glad to visit in person-Ben-
nington Banner.
Sherlock Holmes was never IN it with
the Banner oracle in deep analytical
reasoning. Men in the postal service
will be interested in the Banner s dis
covery that revenue is produced by
handling incoming mail.

The report that the allies have

ing Athens and Piraeus, by way of
forcing King Constantine to yield his
Will to that of the Greek people, indi-
Gates that the end of the anomalous
position of Greece is at hand. Constan-
tine has done all in his power to aid
ms brother-in-law, the Kaiser. He has
oqcered the army with men of German
Sympathies. He has made important
concessions to the Bulgarians, giving
them among other things fortress
which now blocks the allies from APP
preaching the Bulgarian capital. But
the people s leader, Venizelos. is al
ready at the head of a provisional
government that controls most of the
nation outside Athens-and the allies
are looking after Athens. Constantine
will have to give in or lose his throne.

The Touring pin is made with two
handles and can be thrown a long dis
tance with merrihg aim. Many a chestv
husband has uttered some disparagino
remark to Il long suffering wife and
started for the front gate on the dead
run, only to be pinned to picket fence
by Touring pin hurled with discon-
eerting accuracy from the summer
kitchen. The poet has said that wo-
man s sole defense is her virtue, but
no man who has ever tried to dodge a
revolving Touring pin at distance of
ten feet will concede anything of the
kind
The Touring pin can be used for a
variety of purposes, and we owe nany
toothsome dehcacies to its brute
strength. For instance, if it were not
for the foning pin we would never
nave had the oyster patty, which is
made by taking one unresisting oyster
and surrounding him with cracker
crumbs Thousands of people are cat
ing oyster patties every day and fish
ing for the oyster, without giving any
credit whatever to the humble Touring
pin. The bread-crumb turkey DRESSING
Is also due to this modest device,
which Is so often perverted from its
sacred mission and made to perform
deeds of tragic violence

The Germans are playing their
strongest game in the eastern theater
of war, but the fact that they do not
make decisive progress indicates that
their fortunes are running low. They
seem to have lost their initiative save
against the Rumanians, and even on
the Rumanian front the results are re
ported against them in the past few
days. Exhaustion to large extent
will determine the result of the great
war.
