ENCOURAGING CRIME.

The Atlanta Constitution breaches n
good sermon on crime, using as Il text
the mild sentences imposed on two Grim
mails recently in the public eye
There was Ponzi of Boston, the wiz
ard, who swindlcd thousands of people
out of millions of dollars. There was no
question whatever of his guilt, and of the
vast amount of Indebtedness and want
that resulted from his crooked opera
tons. POnzi was sentenced to only five
years imprisonment His time, by de-
cent behavior. may be reduced to three
and One-half years. 1t is considered
quite possible that Ponzi has a fortune
slowed away somewhere, saved from bis
plumber; and if so, when he leaves the
penitentiary there will be nothing to
prevent his living the rest of his life in
comfort.
Then there was the case of the New
England boOtlcggcrs who bought wood al
cohol from a Brooklyn undertaken, in
large quantities, and peddled it as wills

well what the stuff was More than 100
persons are known to have died from

the victims really totalIed several hun

why are there so many criminals

Of men like Ponzi by those who admins

The Constitution wants to know
what is being done for the benefit of the
future by judges who sentence whole
sale murderers and sight-destroyers to
serve comparatively nominal prison SEN
fences, and who make a practice of
permitting other dangerous offenders to
escape by payment of petty fines.
Mighty little, And still less when. as
happens so often, men imprisoned for
serious crimes are set free before their

The reason deer are so plentiful in
Windham county during the open sea-
son is because the inhabitants of said
county, true to their law-abiding up
bringing, do not shoot deer out of sea-
son-unless they are caught in the act
of destroying crops. The fact that one
of the county's chief crops is timber,
which deer do not destroy at the risk of
their lives. may also have something to
do with the case.
