In June of this year, reads the

President Harding in his coming mes

information as TO whether sufficient
votes can be obtained to shelve the

Present indications are that in
response to the Presidents request the
votes will be forthcoming. Mr.. Hard
ing's message to Congress on the sit

House has passed and sent to the
Senate the tariff bill, which probably
will be July 81.
Opponents of the bonus bill claim
that the total soldier expenditures
made since the arinistlce take away
all justification for another heaVv

Treasury Department was sl,4l4.-

nature, were still maintained.
-'The bolshevik revolution, on the
contrary, attempted to destroy all

fered by Americans in this connec-

present or future, looking to the

1--WE respectfully urge that when

Cested is one beneficial alike to Rus

chief advantages must accrue TO

and 300 are under twenty-ope years

Under the management Of James 4.
Johnston, warden, San Quentin has
become noted as a prison institution

asked Warden Johnston to write his
views upon crime and its cure. He

OF the wreckage. While the scien-
lists are searching for the cure-all
for crime and criminals let US give
some common-sense attention TO the
question In the home. tho church, the
school and the playground and in our
daily associations
PREVENTION NEEDED.
Prevention Is much easier than
cure, less difficult, less costly. II
Is about time we turned our atten-
tfon to preventive measures such as
medical and dental inspection IN the
schools; education that really nts
for citisenship; vocational training;
measures that will prevent unem-
ployment; war on the habit-forming
drugs and excessive use OF alcohol:
strict regulation and control OF the
sale of firearms; recognition of the
fact that youth Is the time of law
lessness. that criminal tendencies as
sert themselves early in life and
should be checked early by proper
training In the home. the school
and the church.
REHABILITATION Is GOAL.
The policy that prevails in the
State today is one of strict dis
cipline and training, but without
harshness or cruelty. The prison
directors and the Warden believe
they can contribute most to the
fessening of crime by managing our
prisons in such a manner that they
may possibly wean man from crime.
We regard 1t as our boundep duty
to take the man received by COM
mitment and strive in every way
possible from the day of his en-
trance to train him for better cit
isensnip to the time when he will
again have liberty.
We endeavor to supplant sickness
with health, ignorance with knowl-
edge. Incidence with industry and
