The Protection of Society.

The little penny seal is at work
again. that tiny bit Of paper that
looks like a postage stamp and that
can he used only on the back of a
letter. II, is a messenger Of mercy.
II il likewise a token Of intelligent
selhshness in the protection Of the
community from disease. For this
little penny seal represents a vitality
important work that is being con.
Quoted in every city throughout the
country.
Last Christmas 3,S5O,436 Of these
health seals were put to work by
Washingtonians. For them the peo-
pie Of the Capital paid 3s,504 .36,
and this money was used for nine
purposes. all connected with the cam
paign against tuberculosis: child
health education, the Summer health
camp for tuberculous children. school
luncheons for underweight children,
occupational therapy, nursing serv-
ice, health education, nation wide
health work in sfilia ton with the
national associa ton, informational |
publicity and the mainte nance Of an
executive office.
The record Of the work done in 1926
by these little penny seals is remark
able. Five trained health workers
conducted or helped to organize for
lAl~ \
1886 children to discover those who
We're seriously under weight, gave
PIG physical examinations and distrib-
uted hea lth literature to teachers and
Thousand Of parents and children.
The Summer health camp for tuber-
culous children was maintained for
seventy-nine days, with an average
attendance Of fifty.one. All of the
children improved and eleven Of them
recovered from the disease.
Measured by this one item alone
the penny seals did an invaluable work
during the year just closing. They
saved the lives of eleven children.
That fact should stimulate the sale
Of the seals this season, should cause
one of these little tokens of mercy
to appear on every letter, should
raise the total Of the sa les far beyond
that of a year ago, and should thus
make 1t possible to carry this benefi-
cent work further to reach more OF
the people who are menaced by, II
not already in the grip OF, tubercu-
losis
1t is not enough merely to buy the
seals. They should he used and dis

endeavor. Half a million should be

who brought up In the rear OF the

law. In cases in which extraneous
circumstances appear the power Of
the governor may he invoked.
In this Judge Lewis takes the
ground that the welfare of society is
OF paramount importance. In the
modern practice OF the law the tend
ency has been to give too much con-
sideration to the accused. He has
been afforded the benefit of innumer-
able technicalities in the taking of
evidence. He has been granted pro-
tracted appeals upon points Of law.
He has been given minimum rather
than maximum penalties when found
guilty, and his conviction is finally
affirmed. He has been granted parole
and probation and pardon and has re-
ceiyed the advantage OF curtailment
of sentence for good behavior"
which means merely compliance with
the disciplinary rules OF the prison.
He has had altogether the better Of
the situation. In New York state
reaction from this tendency to pro.
tect the guilty.
There are two phases to the effort
to increase the efficacy of the law as
preventive OF crime. The process Of
trial should be shortened and rem
dered more certain of results for the
protection OF society. The penalties
should be made more severe and more
positive. The Baumes law works to
the latter end. There remains to be
effected a auickening Of the judicial
process through the elimination OF the
closging practices which, in the guise
OF justice, actually defeat justice by
delay and by denial.
