THE PRICE OF RADIcAIIsM

LEGISLATION TO protect child from sweat-shop
work is still necessary
Cniia labor IN uncivilzed industries is abomina-
oie ana II employers of such are not humane enough
TO eliminate this evil, the state will have it to at
tend to-
Even So there is no occasion to go wild and en-
act legislation that will ban all youthhood from
work.
Under some conditions and amid some circum-
stances work, even on the part of children, is a
privilege from which they should not be divorced.
It's good for them for its physical enrichments
as we'll for the habituations it encourages. Pro-
teet them from its cruel punishments, to be sure,
but not at the price of putting premium upon
sheer laziness and thriftlessness.-Juan S. Miller

SENTIMENT NO ANSWER To
PRISON PROBLEM
CBY BRUCE CATION

(BY BRUCE CATION
The one thing more than any other which
stands in the way of our reaching sane
and workable prison program is sentlmeH-
tality.
Here is one problem which We do not
seem able to approach reasonably. No mat
ter when or how it comes up, we look at II
through a mist which our sentimental pre-
conceptions have spread before our eyes,
and this mist diStorts and conceals the
things we look at.
Now there are two kinds of sentiment
tally in connection with the prison prob
lem.
} One is the kind made families by the
man who suffers from excessive sOftness OF
the heart. To this man the convict is SIM
ply lucklesS, misunderstood child-a per-
son who has never had chance, and who
will forSake his evil ways overnight and
become an upright citizen, devoted hus-
band and father, and a pillar of the
church, if only someone will speak to him
kindly.
The mischief that this kind of sentimen-
tally is responsible for in our treatment of
criminals is so obvious and so widespread
that it needs no comment
THE other kind of Sentimentality is the
exact reverse of this. 1t is the hard-boiled
type. The man who possesses it thinks
that no prison routine can be too harsh for
law-breakers.
If someone tries to give prisoners decent
food, decent sanitation, and halfway re-
spectacle training for law-abiding life, this
man cries that the prisoners are being
"coddled."
He is against paroles, against ''trusty'
systems, against every effort to turn crimi-
nails into good citizens.
This attitude is just as truly sentiment
tai attitude as the other one, though we
don't usually look on it in that light.
1t is sentimental because the man who
has it is ruled by what he feels and not by
his brain. And it is just as great barrier
in the path of enlightened penology as IS
the sentimentality which springs from
maudlin sympathy.
Julian Alec, acting president of the Cali
fornia Board of Prison Directors points
out that the hope for an intelligent penal
program lies between these two extremes.
Our present system, which herds great
masses of men together, keeps them idle,
and mixes first offenders with hardened
old repeaters, simply creates fresh troubles
for US, he asserts.
1t is his idea that each state should es-
tablish work camps for such prisoners as
are not completely beyond reform.
1Eet transfer from prison to camp be a
reward for good behavior, he urges; lei
the convict in the camp understand that he
is being fitted for return to civil life; put
hove in his breast instead of hatred-and
we'shall approach a sensible solution of
our prison problem.
If we can lay aside these two kinds OF
sentiment and be guided by reason, we
may follow some such scheme as this . .
and save ourselves much trouble.
