SERVING PUNISHMENT
SHOULD SERVE.

Governor Harvey announced last
Saturday that there will be no list
of christmas pardons" this year,
nor will there be any paroles issued
to permit prisoners in the peniten-
tiary to spend Christmas day with
their families.
Outlining his attitude in regard
to the treatment of prisoners the
following statement was issued from
the office of the chief executive:
"The governor stands for abso-
lutte humanness in the handling Of
the prisoners, but he believes in pun
ishment where there are offenders,
Just as children have to be in home
life. He stands for giving the pris-
oners every reasonable consideration
looking to their having the necessi-
ties of life, but he regards the pen
itentiary as a place for punishment,
and the verdict of the courts look
ing to the men being placed there
for a special time should be carried
out, with only such exceptions as
are potently proper and right. In
order that there should be no mis-
understanding of the situation the
governor is making this announce
mont in adyanca"
