HUGHES SAILS

WITH PACT JOLT
Declares Article Ten of
Covenant a Mischief
Maker

TRENTON. n. J. Sept ls.--In a speech
vigorously attacking the League or Ma
tions covenant as IL stands, particularly
article 10, Charles L, Hughes. former Su-
preme Court Justice and candidate for
the presidency Ia 1916 today signalized
his entrance into the campaign for Hard
ing and Coolidge.
"ArtIe.e 10 is mischief maker he
said in addressing the New Jersey Re-
publican State convention.
.It belongs 20 the category Of alliances
TO make war aud Is opposed to American
principle. II viii serve to make disputes
and not to heal them- Article 10 is really
the vice Of the covenant"
Judge Hughes contended this article
imposes an obligation on the slgnatories
OF the treaty that is perfeeslg cieafa -
The obligation Is immediate" he de-
clared. 1T awaits no action OF the
lea que TO impose it. IT Is Of no avail TO
call the obligation moral one. II such

Independence Of all members OF the
league had validity. 1t would create just
as legal and just rs binding an obliga-

Combating the argument that under the
Constitution Congress alone can declare
war. Hughes said:
"If the treaty we're made without res
ervation the Nation would be bound to
all the other contracting powers TO use
the proper organs of Government TO
accomplish whatever is necessary to
make good the engagement
He contended tis- President might, un-
der article 10, plunge the country into
war without waiting ror congress: "but,'
he continued, eft has been Aurged that
the league couHcil might not advise the
United States Of military force. There
is no security for this for plainly the
council might so advise and force might
be plainly needed II the guaranty was
to be made good"

THE Constitution OF the state pro
vides that the penali code shall be
founded on the principles OF reforma-
tion. and not yindictive Justice (Article
/, section 1S). /; also provides that no
person arrested or confined In jail shall
be treated with unnecessary rigor.
(Article /, section 15).
These principles were wrftten into the
Constitution by our forefathers because
they instinctively desired to avoid the
barbarities Of the prisons of the old
world.
America to them was a new world
ITO them man, whether he be prince or
pauper, sultan or satrap, was a human
being.
His body was thinking thing cou-
ceived in the likeness OF its creator, and
they ordained that the brutalities of the
torture chamber, the galley ships and
the inquisltion should never blot the
fair name of Indiana.
"They believed that man was a hu
man being and that no matter how low
he might fall he might be raised
"They believed that he should be
treated humanely, sufficiently fed,
clothed and cared for, so that no matter
how great his misfortune he should not
be embittered or hardened by mistreat-
ment in the enforcement OF the law.
This is the spirit Of America-the
spirit found in every state.
SAYS SOCIETY OWES
DUTY TO FALLEN.
Criminals are wards of society. So
ciety owes them a duty which America
has never attempted to shake off.
Each individual has and feels that
duty.
at is more than a legal duty, 1t is
moral a religious duty.
owing to the very nature Of the
case, however, each individual cannot
perform that duty, and for that reason
we elect officers to take care of the un-
fortunates, but the manner in which
that duty shall be performed has always
been guarded with the greatest scrutiny
and a jealous sollcitude by Americans
"In Marion County the officer whom
we elect to take care of our criminals
Is the sheriff.
"Often, owing to the crowded condition
of our institutions, it becomes necessary
for the sheriff - care for mental de-
fectives.
s'you have read of the horrors of the
prison ship of England. the galley shin
of France, the torture chambers OF
Spain and the barbarities OF the heather
Chinese prisons.
