OUR TOO EASY PAROLE SYSTEM

Five convicts who participated In the riot at Fol-
som Prison in California in September have been
found guilty of first degree murder in the death of
the prison warden and the death penalty imposed.
Three of those involved reported to have previ
ously received parole clemency which may give a
hint of why so many criminals turned loose on
society with the resulting increasing crime wave. Too
easy parole, and too easy conditions in of our
prisons major factors.
j. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigaton recently pointed out that records reveal that
80 percent of the l3493 most dangerous criminals
listed in the FBI files has been freed parole from
to eight, nine and ten times. He went on to
reveal further that startling it seems there is
such thing a life prisoner
THE average man who receives a life sentence for
murder spends only about ten years behind bars
and average sentence served by person convicted
of murder is only sixty months declared the FBI
chief and then he hit at what appears to be of
glaring reasons why such things as prison riots
occur, then he usually is granted the benefits
of private radio of the daily newspaper, selected
magazines, the latest motion picture shows orches-
tras travelling bands hand-decorated cells baseball
handball, football, basketball and any other amuse
ments which over-sympa hetic and sob-sster wardens
prison boards may contrive to make his stay in
prison enjoyable.
MANY of prisons today may well be cassed
as country clubs Many are badly manned and i'll
kept, Others hotbeds of vice and agitation. Many
easily accessible to escape like sleeves through
which the rats placed in them many depart almost
at will Such procedure does not create respect for
law do not believe that the majesty of justice can
appear in white and untrammelled garments long
such disgraceful sentimental convict-codding is
allowed to persist in alleged penal institutions.
Mollycoddling of criminals must be halted The pub
lie is in far need of security for life and limb than
convicted criminals of cemency."
Hoover has hit the of increasing crime d-
rectly the head-too easy parole and too easy con-
dtons within prisons. 1t is significant fact
that in the vast majority of the crimes committed
against women and children those who commit them
men who have served time in criminal insttu-
tons and have been paroled cured with time off
for good behavior
One more quotation from Mr. Hoover indicates
why there is crying need for a realignment of our
ideas and practices in the administration of justice
Figures for 1887 show a decided increase
in the felones committed this year against
the 1,333.526 major crimes in 1886. There has
been sharp increase in robberies, burglares,
arcenies and automobile thefts. How can
anyone say that crime is decreasing when
look at this record? Crime is not lessening;
1t is distinctly increasing The records of 1897
show that more persons died by manslaughter,
that more were murdered and these

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1887
Ill omens attend this last day of
the month, according to astrology.
Adverse planetary aspects strongly
dominate.
In the morning hours there may
be a sense of rebellion against the
powers that be and a growing dis
content regarding economic condi-

and to, forget troubles.
Women who serve humanity
should benefit today, but they will
meet many discouragements as
they seek to render relief to the
suffering. Nurses will be in great
demand.
There is promising aspect for
those who marry at this time, all
though many financial risks are in
dicated and many uncertainties are
discerned by the seers.
This is lucky day for shopping
and for preparations for the holi-
days which may be memorable for
happiness that marks the end of
another epoch in modern life.
Changes are prognosticated for
the coming year which is to be
crowded with world events of SUI

and devotion to duty are part of the ,

was well worth reading and ponder
ing about. for-like all these Coast
Guard stories-it hints broadly that
the human race can behave pretty
nobly whenever anyone in author
ity thinks to ask it to do so.
The Coast Guard is a police
ganization, in the broadest SEMI }
of the word. That is, it exists not
to enforce the law, but to preserve
order to lend a hand where hand
is needed, and to see to It that help
if you are at sea in a small fish
ing boat and a hurricane, unbe-
knowest to you, is coming your way,
the Coast Guard will hunt you out
and warn you. If you drift away
from shore in a rowboat and night
is coming on, the Coast Guard will
go and get you. If you are in a
steamer whose engines break down
Coast Guard cutter will come a.
long and give you a tow. If your
ship runs on the rocks, the Coast
Guard boys will be there to save
your life-at the loss of some of
their own lives, as often as not

life as it is in every biography of
member of that outfit; and it is
worth while to reflect ON what it
all signifies.
The Coast Guard does not exist
to make a profit for somebody 1t
/ does not give the government which
supports it any commercial ad-
vantage. 1t is not primarily a fight
demands. it can fight with the best
of them
It's existence simply reflects the
races instinct for order for mutual
help, for cooperative action to
make life safer and easier. It's
hired hands, who get neither
glory nor riches, cheerfully accept
the most shocking risks with de-
votion to duty not exceeded any,
where. And we, the taxpayers,
gladly pay for the maintenance of
the whole business.
