CLAIMS CRIMINAL LAW FAILS WATSON HARDWARE CD j Should Aim to Benefit Prieonere, He Says, Not Society—No Fixed Period For Sentences — Criminals to Be Freed When Deemed Fit For Release by a Court of Rehabilitation. Instead of shutting up prieonere to “protect society” and releasing them worse than before, society should un dertake to reform them as quickly as |K>s.silile, Is Roland B. Mollneux’s con tention in a remarkable article in the current Issue of Charities. Mr. Molineux would have criminals sentenced for no fixed period and re leased only when fit for release by a judge and jury In a “court of rehabili tation.” Some of his striking sentences follow: The United States spends fl.OOO.OOO,- 000 a year to achieve a failure. Annu ally it spends $000,000,000 more on a fruitless and farcical contest with crime than it does on all its works of charity, religion and education. Our criminal law alms to benefit so ciety. In this It falls. It should aim to beneflt the criminal. In this It could succeed. We endeavor to cure crime by a system childishly futile. As veil might we sentence the lunatic to three months In an asylum or the victim of smallpox to thirty days in the bospi tnl. at the end of these periods to turn them loose whether mad or sane, cured <>r still diseased. Conventional prisons are universities wherein are given postgraduate courses in crime. Because he knows something of evil we send a man where he will learn all of evil. civilization will have advanced a step when for the first time a prisoner appears In that court [of rehabillta tionl. He tells the story of this convict's life previous to imprisonment and then shows by witnesses all he has since accomplished. The warden testifies to his perfect discipline; a teacher to his having learned correctly to speak, read and write the English language; pos sibly he lias even mastered a foreign tongue; also he is now' expert in keep ing books or he has worked in the va rious shops of the prison, and Instruct ors pronounce him a skilled mechanic; also it Is shown that deposited in the prison treasury are his savlugs, the state having paid him for bis labor. Now, if you restore him to citizenship he will almost certainly prove worthy of it, because he has won it by the sweat of his brow, the toil of his brain and the intensity of his purpose. The new criminal code would no more recognize the logic or Justice or Christianity of a “life for a life” than It would the same qualities in Inflict ing mayhem m the punishment for mayhem. There wmuld be a recognition of the fact thht there are two great classes of murders. thoJh of the heart aud those of the brain. What a gulf lietween the two! Love, pride, self respect, these are among the qualities, good In themselves, that have often led to murder. Is It je.st to treat the man carried away by such motives exactly as we treat the man who has killed another for gain? The eour of rehabilitation would rarely release the murderer who had plotted and calculated even after long imprisonment.

Since taking Hollister’s Rock Moun- t.dn Tea at night ~ Gaffney Drug Co. Why Kansas Farmers Are Able tr Ride In Their Own Autos. For a K ;nsas farmer to harvest r. single crop which brings him $30 or $35 an acre is no unusual tiling in these days, provided he uses the l>esi Judgment in preparing his land and se lecting his crop and then gives them care, says a Cottonwood Falls (Kan > correspondent of the Kansas City Star But when a single crop nets him more than $30 to the acre, and all this without the least bit of w r ork or care on bis pan and even against his own Intentions, then it is one can see what the Sunflower State is really capable of. This has been the fortunate lot o! John Crawford, a Chase county farmer living near Clements. Mr. Craw'ford has a twenty acre field of alfalfa. This summer he cut the first two crops, which yielded between two and three tons of hay to the acre. When the third hay crop was ready tc cut, be was so busy putting up his oth er crops that the alfalfa field had to wait, and not until it had stood so long that It w r as no longer good for hay did he finally get around to cut It. Regretting that he would have to lose the hay. Mr. Crawford decided to let It go to seed. A few days ago he cut and thrashed the crop and obtained seventy-seven bushels of seed from th ? twenty Hen's. Thirty bushels of tl.c seed he sold at once for $y a bushel, and the balance will bring at least $S a bushel. Resides the first two hay crops, which have made $12 or $15 to the acre, and the seed, which is worth at least $30 more, the alfalfa field wil now make excellent pasture for stock Railroad Fare to Fair Cut in Hall October 28 to November 1 BAD BLOOD THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE Bmy p«rt< ~ when this Ufs'i Bad richaflBB w% ai i pare blood i» i i body is fed < fustulari that the add or th»i i fooult of moxfatd.
