The suggestion that the con

Christmas dinner should have
come from some other source
than the. gang itself, but better
from there than from no where.
This ought to be done. Some
times a little kindly treatment
does more to reform a man than
months of work in convict
camp. Those men should be
made to feel that in the hearts of
the people there is a spirit of
sympathy for those who are
unfortunate enough to be on
the gang. To be sure the pun
ishment is necessary, and we
are not defending those whom
the courts have sentenced.
This is time OF good will,
however, and these men should
be reminded of Him whose
birthday il is by a little kindness.

plan eliminates all the features of
