CURRENT COMMENT
Ask No Special Privileges.

The Vermont branch Of the American
Legion has given many instances that
| it possesses a level head 50 that the eX-
preston of legionaircs that they did not
desire the passage of legislation which
would exempt veterans of the World
war from the payment of poll taxes
comes as no surprise.
A bill providing such exemption was
introduced in the legis lature at Mont
pelier, was approved in committee and
was on its way to passage when its
progress was halted by members Of the
Legion who expressed themselves in OPP
position
The motive behind the bill was a
proper one, to be sure, but it is well
that it does not become law. The great
majority Of veterans are opposed to be-
ing created into a privileged class. They
have no desire to escape the ordinary
cares and duties Of citizenship, On the
other shand, they shave shown that the
duties 81 citizenship make an intimate
appeal to them. Respect for the Ameri-
can Legion increases by these demon.

as an incentive to increased financial
support and as agency to attract young
people to the institution. This prin-
ciple is recognized in many institutions

value of that agency in bringing about

The wide range of the criminal in
stinct that has been sweeping the
country since the World war is dem
onstrated in the robbery which has
been perpetuated at the Boston mu-
nicipal piggery, where the thieves have
substituted young pigs for the big
pigs, carrying the latter off to the
market, so that the guards Of the pig
gerry, when they came to count their
animals, found the tally accurate but
the size of the animals strangely
shrunken The wonder is that the
thieves took the trouble to substitute
the small pigs. They might have been
expected to play the whole hog or

That might be considered an ultra

James ~ Galbraith, who built the street rail
ways of Mexico City; and Major Griswold, sur
geon and veteran of two wars; and Alfred
Lenz, the sculptor; and Albert Payson Ter
hume, who knows more about eollies and the
editors of The Saturday Evening Post than
any other man alive--but why call the roll?
Every one has some achievement to his credit,
and most Of them are not unknown to fame
just had to have a glimpse Of what goes
on at those dinners, and Johns being out Of
the city when one of the dates came around
offered an opportunity. I happened TO know
that sometimes women were employed as extra
walters for these dinners, and luck was with
me when l tried for the job. There was one
man who might spoil everything, and that
was DR.. Aughinbaugh, president of the club.
He often had been guest at our home, but
one has to take chances in the search for
adventure and depended upon such dis
guises as woman can work with her hair
and clothes; also I saw to it that my tables
should be far removed from the one graced bv
the president
Before the tables were filed I'D I saw that
this was gathering Of real men-practically
any one of them could have gone into the cow
camps and mining towns which ] knew SO well
and have, been received as a kindred soul by
the regulars. There was delightful absence
of forn1ality, which was quite new expert
sence in my brief New York career. The
guests laughed and chatted and ragged each
other like schoolboys, and yet there was
sense of solidity and substance behind all the
jollity that made me feel that this was not
just an idle picnic. 1t is rule of the club
that nothing done or said at the regular meet
ings shall ever be published, but the rules did
nothing for me, and so here goes for the first
report of an Adventurers' Club dinner.
Not everything that I am going to tell you
was fully apparent to me as the dinner went
on. There were SO many wild tales buxzing
around in my head in succession and SO many
strange faces that I wondered how would
ever connect up the name with the stories:
and after the dessert was served I fingered
around the walters entrance and 'Istened i'm
on the talks. Afterward I extracted the nee
essary information concerning who's who
from my wondering John and DR.. Aughin-
baugh and others.

Prisoner Out, Court
To Parole Board

The intervention OF the Parole Commits
sion has been SO recent matter that the
public has not yet fully comprehended the
change that has been wrought. Justice is
no longer matter that concerns the criminal
and the court only. The Parole Commission
comes in for an assist, to reduce the matter
to baseball phraseology. Or, to state the
matter with technical correctness, the Parole
Commission is to be credited with the put-out,
the court assisting. For it is the Parole
Commission, under the indeterminate SEN
tence law, that fixes the time of the prisoners
stay In the jail, workhouse, penitentiary or
reformatcry. Thus it has really become the
final agent in determining just what the
prisoner--outside of those who are convicted
OF the larger crimes-nnust pay to society not
alone for actual infractions of the law, but
for lawiess instincts that never have felt the
needed correctional curb.
Perhaps the case of Happy will illustrate
the working of the Parole Commission and it's
need better than any set form of explanation
Happy" represented type that was hav-
ing all kinds Of fun with the old order of
things. He had job that paid him we'll and
TO which he could return after few days
variably prove disorderly Also He had been
sent TO the Island half dozen times for
short sentences before the Parole Commission
came into being.
When Happy" came under the working of
Chapter 579 he was sentenced under the IN
! determinate law. This meant that the Parole
Commission had the power to keep him in jail
for any term it chose, up to three years.
Happy got q year and half, much to his
amazement- When he came out he knew that
he was not yet done with the commission. He
was still under its jurisdiction for another
year and half. He must report to the mem
bers of the commission regularly--must let
them know his whereabouts and his doings
IL he failed to report or if he "fell off" again
he could be put behind the bars for the rest
of that three years. Of course, he could
beat it out of New York if he wished, but who
wants to leave New York? Better shoot

Of the indeterminate sentence law. II the
human brain did not work along certain Ines
and if there were not certain instincts Which
are infallibfe in themselves, there would be

shattered through the simple process of dis.
appearance. The commission has no powers
of extradition. If prisoner wants to escape
after his release on parole, it is comparatiyely
easy for him to do so. But the parole Of
fcers know that sooner or later the prisoner
who "beats it.. will be back in his old home
town. The homing instinct works more
surely and cheaply than any extradition rights
and privileges. Once within the jurisdiction
of the parole officers, the offender is put back
in jail for a while and then begins the round
of reporting until the commission, from its
eyrie in the Municipal Building is satisfied
that the offender will offend no more, and
that genuine reform has been effected
The commission gets countless letters from
its graduates" Men and women who are
among the 40 per cent on the good side Of
the ledger write in to tell of the jobs they
aree holding, and of the satisfaction they are
getting out of life. These letters, even more
than the official figures which show startling
reductions in the number Of commitments to
various penal and correctional institutions
since the Parole Commission came into effect
argue irresistibly for the indeterminate sys
