Comrades.

When Justice Boyle Of the children's
court decided on Tuesday that Tom.
a ten-year-old boy, should not be
separated from his dog Rags during
his stay in an institution to which he
had been committed as q waif he
showed qualities of heart which
proved that devotion to the law had
not made him callous.
Boy and dog we're alike homeless,
the former turned adrift on the world.
To Rags, however, he was a beloved
master to follow as long as life lasted.
Ever since puppyhood on the East
Side Rags had been the companion of
Tom, and 1t will be written in letters
Of gold in the book of good deeds that
when there arose the danger of q
forced separation the lad refused TO
go without his faithful dog.
Tradition and custom were alike
shattered when Justice Boyle signed
the papers committing Rage to the
institution on Staten Island along
with his master. but nobody can
fathom the joy which his action gave
to the devoted friends, for which bet
ter days would seem to be dawning.-

PRISONERS FOR

Express Appreciation of

In response to the attitude taken
by the Republican state Conven-
tion last Tuesday, at Dover, in plac-
ing planks in the party platform
favorable to the establishment of
more sanitary quarters for women
inmates of the New Castle Work
house, and the establishment of a
parole system for worthy prisoners,
q special meeting OF the Honor
Court" at that institution was held
and a resolution OF commentator
and thanks for the above named
action was adopted.
The Honor Court called seven
prisoners who have been persistant
violators of the rules and regula-
ton Of the Workhouse. made by
the trustees. and informed them
that they would be denied all privi-
leges allowed good prisoners, IL they
commit future violations Of the
rules. as they did not intend for a
few TO iDiure them in public opin-
ion.
They set forth the only asset at
that institution. which would work
for the benefit Of the prisoner. is
good behavior.
In the Courts opinion. under no
circumstances should prisoners be
placed on parole. except those that
would be an asset TO society and a |
means of support to their families |
we want only worthy prisoners
considered as eligible to parole"
they set forth.
They oppose any consideration i
whatever for the pardoning or the
paroling of any prisoner, who would
probably prove menace 10 soil
ciety.
They are opposed to the parole
OF any prisoner found guilty Of
certain crimes against women. and
that they only ask for a second
chance for worthy men.
Warden Plummer expressed him
self as much gratified at the action
Of the convention in endorsing these
planks, which he said he considered I
OF vital interest 10 the inmates of |
the institution. i
