MODEL FARM FOR
COUNTY JAIL?
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. We were lucky at that,
for the roads were unspeakably bad,
due to the rain of a few hours. Think j

the winter and Spring conditions
