Wo rksli o i) Reformatory I * I Method Being Discussed by Attorneys of City Model farms and workshops as sub stitutes for penitentiaries and refor matories in the reformation of crim- I inals are heartily advocated by many I well-known lawyers of the Dauphin j county bar. j The farm-and-workshop reforma ! lory method was the subject of con siderable discussion at the annual ses sion of the Pennsylvania State Bar Association last week in Pittsburgh and the plan was endorsed by the bar committee. The committee made an exhaustive ; report on the revision of the penal laws and some remedial legislation was recommended for presentation to the next session of the State Legisla ture. The abolishing of the county jails in every one of the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania for all pur poses except that of detention is one ol the important moves suggested by the lawyers. j The real object has a double ineen- j live —the inauguration of a modern I system of penology with a view to! producing better citizenship and the 1 reduction of cost of maintenance of [penal institutions. i Among the local barristers who talk ed on the subject were A. Carson IStamm, a member of the law firm of I Olmsted and Stamm, and president of the city school board; John Fox Weiss. : | former district attorney of Dauphin ! | county and a member of the com mittee on revision and amendment which drafted this suggestion; 1 Charles H. Bergner and Jesse 10. B. ; I Cunningham, formerly deputy at jtorney General. Opinion Differs Expressions of opinion on the part; of lawyers and jurors in this citv seem ! to indicate that the idea, while re garded by some as an excellent step to lie taken, from the humanitarian standpoint, to others does not appeal at all. but is the result of hysteria and "soft" sentiment. One prominent lawyer spoke in highly commendatory : terms of the now State Penitentiary in Center county, near Bellofonte. and j of its warden, John Francies, as an J example. Francies, he said, has in- [ augurated recently a new method of! handling the criminals under his care. [ using the merit system and treating! them more as men than beasts, as- I suming that they have enough intel- j ligence and human feeling to recog- ' nise the humane treatment that they j receive and act accordingly. A. Carson Stamm, taking the view-j point that reformation of the wrong-' doer is the only real justification for j punishment, made the following state- ! merit anent the above recommenda-1 tlon: Reformation Objective "Any improvement in the penal i system that will make for better citi- ! zensliip and reduce the cost of main- j taining penal institutions must be wei- ! corned. There are or have been at least three theories about punishment j for crime—vengeance, an example to deter others, and the reformation of I the wrongdoer. The tirst two are happily fast becoming obsolete. Yenge- | ance is hate; and to punish one for i tho sake of deterring another hardly i appeals to a sense of justice. The only real justification for punishment for wrong-doing would seem to be the re- j formation of the wrongdoer and his! restoration to his rightful place in so ciety. Anything that will help ac- I complish this end must be a good > thing." John Fox Weiss, a member of the I committee on revision and amend- j mcnt that drafted this suggestion, de- j clared his belief that the proposed \ step is an advance in penology that is j certainly worth a trial. On the other hand, the confidence that Charles H. Bergner, well-Known lawyer, and J. E. B. Cunningham, ex deputy attorney general, have in the advisability and efficacy of such a move was best cxeinplied in the short expression of opinion which each i made. The former exclaimed, "Per-1 feet rot," and the latter answered in ! an equally forcible way, "Poppycock." j Easier to Commit Crimes? "Criminals," said an eminent jurist i recently on this very subject, "feel tho; disgrace, not of having committed the j crime for which they are sent up, but | of the actual going to jail. If you are going to fix up all these lovely re ceptions and things for them, you are going to take away in a cer tain measure the disgrace that attends being put in a place of detention. Take away this disgrace, which is the only one. that the criminal feels, and you have made it much easier for a man to commit crime." The plan suggested by the commit mittee, which also advised that the legislation necessary to bring about the changes be introduced at the next session of the Legislature in 1917, in cludes the establishment of six sec tional farms, in different portions of the State, and the extension of tho employment and compensation theory to a county or intcrcounty plan, us ing products raised or manufactured by the inmates in the counties com prising these various districts.

THE OHIO BLOCKADE Only two months ago, in the State of Ohio, the writer was delayed over night at a small country town by a j thunder storm lasting barely two | hours. The roads became tempor- I arily impassable, but the people took iit as a matter of course! After four teen hours' delay we started, and by steady going made four miles in the first hour.
