Paroles In State
On Merit System
Continued from Page One.)

upon discovery of wrongful convic-
ton, Commissioner of Paroles Edwin
Gill pointed out today. Another rea-
son for not awarding any holiday pa
roles is that this custom, still adher-
ed to by governors of other states,
has very bad effect on prison NOR
ale, in that it tends to make the pri-
soners who failed to get paroles and
len, unhappy and more difficult to
handle. Gill pointed out.
"After studying the Federal parole
system and the plans used in other
states, Governor j. c. B. Ehringhaus
and I have become convinced that the
granting of paroles at Christmas time
or any other special season, merely
on the basis that it is Christmas, was
one of the worst things we could do
Gill said. "In fact, we have reached
the con clusion thai paroles should be
granted only after Ca~c'ul investiga-
ton of the record and past history c.
every prisoner and then only when
their records show them to be worthy
of parole and capable of making an
honest living when paroled, or when
there are extenuating circumstances,
such as the discovery of new evid-
ence not presented at tn etrial and in
dicating lack of guilt or wrongful
conviction.
"The result is that the prisoners in
the State Prison system now know
that if they make good records and
show a constructive attitude, they will
have a chance at parole, also that
that those who do not d"@o~Ve pa
roles will not get any. This, IN turn
helps to keep the morale Of the prl-
soners at a high level all the lime.
But if the gov emo and 6''oulo
grant paroles to 200 or 200 2lon ers
at Christmas time, without investlgat-
ing their cases or going into tnelr
records merely because friends or re-
latives asked their release, the cnan-
ces are that, more than half of those
l paroled would be among the worst
prisoners we have and those least de-
serving of paroles"

20 Years Ago Today-Russian posi-

counter attack by Austro-German
forces.
The Russians were engaged in an
attempt to force back the Teuton line
and make the passage of the Carpa-
THAN Mountains easier Once the
Carpathians were crossed by Russian
forces, Germans would be taken in
flank and forced to abandon their Of
fensive against Roumania. But a
Russian success north of the Carpa-
thians was not forthcoming, although
Brusiloff, the commander, was pro-
claiming, THE war is won -. Russia
has not reached the zenith of her
power Next year 20
The hoary hand of winter lay upon
the Carpathians, and had the men
who faced each other there from the
endless lines of trenches been in
their peasants homes they would
have been content to stay under cover.
But nc man could endure inactivity at
such time. So there was fighting
under the most terrible of condi-
ions.
