A recent news item states that
Governor C. C. Young of California
believes that the average convicted
criminal should be pardoned only
after he has worked for seIf-refor-
nation. and has proven himself
Aorthy of release. 1t is this policy,
he said, that has caused him to issue
fewer pardons and communications of
sentence than most of his professors
in oface.~
Systems designed to help and urge
the criminal to reform and prepare
himself for a place in society, such
as the parole, pardon and coclmuta-
ton of sentence, are of great benefit
and value when intelligentiy and
conservatively used. But it seems
unquestionable that they have been
often abused, by mawkish sentiment
that has issued pardons wholesale to
criminals waiting for chances to
commit further law violations, with
the result that crime is encouraged.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS PAY
DIVIDENDS

The 1928 road building activities
exceed all records.
Thousands of miles of surfaced
roads are being built throughout the
country, and about 5000 miles grad
ed and drained.
A high degree of road service is
assured, by the fact that about 24O,-
600 miles of the total 2S8,000 in
state highway systems are this year
to be maintained under state high
way departments supervision.
Estimates give amount available
for road expenditures as being much
greater than last year From the
various sources, it is expected that
highway funds will be upwards of
$1,30O,DO0,0OO.
These facts should please every
one. Every dollar put into a mod.
ern highway for building or widen
ing is an economy and a dividend
paying investment The United sta.
ties highway system is the best in<the
world.

HOOVER ACCEPTS REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION

Herbert Hoover accepted the Re-
publican Presidential nomination
Saturday evening, with reiteration
Of his stand against repeal Of the
prohibition amendment or any mod
ification of enforcement that would
constitute notification and with the
exposition of a threefold agricultural
relief program.
The nominee repeated that he
stands for 1.-THE Efficient enforce
ment" of the laws enacted under the
prohibition amendment and added
that whoever is chosen President
has under his oath the solemn duty
to pursue this course"
For relief of the farmer he out
lined program embracing tariff
protection and increased and cheap
err transportation, supported by Fed
eral financial aid in building up
farmer owned and controlled corpor-
atoms to take care Of crop SURPRISES.
Speaking to a vast throng in the
Stanford University Statium, STAN
ford, CAL, and to countless thous-
ands in an unseen radio audience
over the country, Secretary Hoover
outlined his stand on prohibition
without making direct reference to
Alfred E.. Smith, his Democratic OPP
ponent, or to the New York Cover
nor's declaration for liberalization
of the VoIstead enforcement act.
Modification of the enforcement
laws which would permit that which
the Constitution forbids is nullifica-
tion, he said. This the American
people will not countenance."
Reiterating that he did not favor
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, the Republican nominee said
no one was to be critized for seeking
to change the Constitution by law
full means, but added that the Re-
publican party denied the right of
anyone to seek to destroy the pur-
poses of the Constitution by indir-
ection.

WILL FINGER-PRINT PROHIBI-
TION Law VIOLATORS

Prohibition Commissioner Doran
has announced that the department
plans to finger-print all prohibition
law yiolators and to place prohibi-
tion agents doing road work in uni
forms, so they can be easily identifi-
ed. At the same time it was an
nounced that violators will face a
stringent system of measurements
and identification tests, the purpose
being to make old Offenders easy to
watch.
The system standardized by the
American Police Chiefs Association
win be adopted in its entirety and
Harry Niles, assistant chief OF police
Of Portland, Ore. will have charge
Of the work. He has been loaned
to the prohibition bureau to put the
new naturalization branch into
effect.
In addition to finger printing and
measuring the prohibition law viola
tors, the records OF each offender
will be submitted to the department
Of justice to ascertain il they are
wanted for any other law violation.
The dry agents doing road work
will wear a distinctive blue cap on
which will be aslarge shield, with a
similar shield on the coat. In ex-
planning this action which was. taken
after six days conference OF ad-
illustrators who fully approved it,
Commissioner Doran said:
Heretofore agents doing road
work could not readily be identified
and motorists were in quandary as
to whether they were officers or
highwaymen. The new shields will
be quite large and visible for consid-
cradle distance and we are hopeful
that motorists win be able to recog-
nize that they are genuine federal
officers at glance.
Agents have been warned against
stopping automobiles promiscuously
and have been told that drawing a
weapon to stop a car, whether it is
suspected bootlegger or not. will
result in immediate dismissal"

GIVING LIFE TO THE TREATY
By Richard r. Wood

War having been renowned as an
instrument of national policy by fif-
teeen of the most important nations,
statesmen are beginning to consider
ways of making the remuneration
mean something by definite acts cal
culated to reduce the likelihood of
war.
Secretary of State Kellogg's trea-
ty has been approved by Australia,
Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia,
France. Germany, Great Britain,
India, Ireland, Italy. Japan, New
Zealand, Poland and South Africa
These fourteen nations and the Unit
ed States renounce war as an instru-
ment of national policy and agree to
use only peaceful means of settling
any disputes which may arise.
Other nations are expressing a de-
sire to join the agreement; they will
be welcomed.
Thus some of the most important
nations are making solemn prom
Use not to go to war. When the
treaty is ratified, they will be un-
able to go to war without breaking
that promise. Henceforth, when a
serious dispute occurs, the people
who are seeking fair settlement OF
it can appeal to the honor of their
nation, pledged not to go to war,
and to use only peaceful means of
settling the difficulty.
The treaty, however. does not pro-
vide the means of settling the diff
Guilty. That remains to be done
Reservations to the treaty have been
made, reserving to each nation the
right to selfdefense, and to deter
mine what self-defense is. Thus
the treaty still permits wars of self
defense, and therefore does not
solve the problem of abolishing war
1t creates an atmosphere more fav-
orable to the solution of the prob
lem.
Self-defense through the building
of huge armies and navies has done
much to cause war, in the past
Every nation tends to distrust and
fear other nations, military and
naval equipment Until some means
Of getting rid of this fear is discov-
cred, the world will not be free from
the danger of war.
Realizing this, the United States
has taken the lead in encouraging

the fleets of warships, were reduced
and limited. Attempts to reduce
and limit the fleets cruisers, destroy
ers and submarines have proved
more difficult. One of the great diff
ficulties has been agreement between
England and France as to the prin-
ciple to be followed. England want.
ed each class considered separately
France wanted a total tonnage as
signed for the fleet of each nation
with complete freedom, within that
total, to build big ships or small
ships, to build many of one sort OF
few of every sort.
The reasons for the French and
English views were technical, but
the naval experts considered them
serious. Reports that France and
England have reached agreement on
this serious question should n mean

indicates that statesmen in othel
countries are getting under the
weight of the disarmament problem.
and are anxious to make the treaty

peace of mankind.
