Mr.. Sartoris was just talking to me

PERHAPS I'm very wicked. sgd, to
enjoy 1t so much, when there are so

Society Must Help IF Man
From Prison Is to Reform
Mrs Huck Declares Money Spent on Reforming Criminals
Is Best Possible investment

I side world, and the governors in
terest in the inward fight.
In this respect particularly, but
also in many other phases of prison
rule, Governor Vic Donahey of Ohio
has been in the vanguard of reform.
He even employs a number of the
convicts whom he pardons to work
about his office and his home.
AS an ex-convict, I was met more
than half way be employers and new
acquaintance. 1 was met In this
way because I had every intention
of going straight.
How do people know? That I can
not tell but it is sensed by employ
ers and others who are constantly
meeting strangers, such as the
workers of the Y. w. c.. A, travel
ers' aid secretaries and hotel man.
ayers.
Most assuredly, the ex-convict can
come back. Society wants to help
him. and from my experience, the
individual does help him, that is,
if the convict has first won his fight
with himself.
First Fight
If he cannot win that first fight,
If he cannot bring himself to the
point where he wants to be good,
where he is willing to strive, to be
humble, even 70 ask for charity
rather han steal or break other
laws, then he and society are bet
ter off with him in Jail.
What Is wrong with society? A
good deal. though we are today liv-
ing in the best age that the world
has yet known.
There is more kindness, justice
and equality than ever hce--te. But
the room for improvement even now
is undimited.
+ Science and surgery have done a
great deal to reduce crime.
BIT as yet they have barely
touched the fringe Of the possibili-
ties that lie ahead. Society has been
over-cautious in grasping the solu-
tons that science and surgery can
offer for it's crime problems.
The subject is almost UNEMPLOYED.
If it is approached in an open-mind-
ed spirit, it may point the way to a
crimeless world.

From Illinois
C-7MoNG the prison reforms
a most desperately needed is
segregation of prisoners.
If inmates of our jails could be
grouped according to the degree of
their crime and their previous rec
ords, the prisons would turn out
fewer offenders with return ticket.
But segregation takes more build
ings, more attendants, in short,
more money; and the public is just
a bit dubious about the wisdom of
"squandering money on prisons.
That money spent on reforming
criminals is the best possible invest
ment for protecting public welfare
never seems to occur to the mass Of
the taxpayers.
Social Deficit
Every offender is a part of our
social fabric. Every wrong -doer
turned to the right is a social deficit
turned to an asset.
And society needs every asset that
money, kindness, intelligence and
science can bring it.
The pardon and parole laws
though still in their infancy are, l
believe, the greatest institutions of
the age in the development of JUS
tice and reform.
Through my own prison expert
ence, have come to know that the

he had expected, who is paroled up
on his honor, who is brought be-

EXCLUDES EVIDENCE
ILLEGALLY OBTAINED
BILL INTRODUCED IN LEGIS-
LATURE IS GIVEN APPROX
AL OF COMMITTEE.

ATLANTA, GA bill introduced
by Representative Paul L. Lindsey, of
DeKalb county, which would exclude
all evidence in court trials procured
by illegal search and seizure, has been
returned to the house with recon-
mendation for its passage.
The bill, introduced in the form of
an amendment is directed against the
practice of officers in searching prop
erty OF. citizens without properly
drawn search warrants and then in
Producing the evidence obtained from
the search in prosecution OF persons.
The practice is most common among
prohibition enforcement officers, it
was charged.
The laws of the constitution and
of the state of Georgia distinctly state
that no warrant shall be issued except
by oath or affidavit" Mr.. Lindsey de-
clared "In disregard OF this law Off
GERS are parading the streets with pads
of blank search warrants in their pock-
cts, and, after the search, the evidence
is admitted into court This practice
is an outrage to the constitutional
rights of Georgia citizens and should
be remedied."
Mr.. Lindsey explained that he was
an ardent supporter of the prohibition
law and had no idea of weakening its
enforcement. His opposition to this
practice of using illegal search war
rants was based solely on the pro
lection of the constitutional rights OF
the people" he declared.
