THE IOLA DAILY REGISTER, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1933. IOLA, KANSAS PAGE FOUE OUTLINE: OF OUH FOREIGN POLICY IlEYS OF COLONY IOLA Mill REGISTER THIS CURIOUS WORLD ABOUT $7,000,000 IS SPENT ANNUALLY IN BLOWING THE WHISTLES OP LOCOMOTIVES ON THE RAILROADS OF THE UNITED STATES. CMIMNGV 6SVIPTS ARE IN FLIGHT ABOUT IO HOURS OUT OP EVERY 2.4- IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THEY COVER. BETWEEN SIX AND SEVEN HUNDRED MILES DAILY. A STUDY of modern standard type locomotives shows that it requires about 8090 pounds of steam to blow the whistle for one hour, during which time about four tons of water would be evaporated and 1199 pounds of It is estimated that all the locomotives of the nation put in a grand total of 11,200 hours of blowing each day, using something like two million tons of coal in one year for this one purpose.

Watson, Margaret Cannon, Marion Robinson, Emma Hutchinson, Etta Adams, Lizzie Schuette, Della Hall, Mrs. H. N. Knowlton. Miss Grace Fitzgerald, and Mrs.

Fred Ireland abolish it altogether would be as stupid as it. would be barbarous. In the first place, penal institutions would have to be doubled or tripled ia size if paroles and pardons did not. keep them down even to their present overcrowded condition. Society is alreay paying a pretty price for these institutions; to have it doubled or tripled would be no joke.

In the second place, granting that society has suffered from pardoned prisoners, how do we know how much society has suffered from prisoners who have NOT been pardoned who entered prison doors as pretty good citizens that had made a mistake, who served their full terms, and who came out as Utter enemies of society, hardened, educated, and trained in all the lore of crime? The chances are that half the prison population of the United States could be turned loose tomorrow with nothing but benefit to everybody concerned if we only knew which half to turn loose. On the other hand, the chances are that a goodly portion of those who serve their full terms, pay their debt" to society, and are released automatically constitute a greater menace to society than would many a man that has been sentenced for life. Some who are sent to prison are mentally and temperamentally unfit to associate freely with human beings and never will be otherwise. SUch. ones should be sentenced for life or painlessly dispatched like a horse with a broken leg, regardless of whether the expression of that mental unfitness happened to be a robbery, a murder, ora sale of boot-eg whisky.

Others who are sent to prison could be paroled! within a month with absolute safety to society and with nothing but infinite benefit to themselves. They find themselves there through weakness, circumstance, a costly error, a misplaced trust, perhaps a complete miscarriage of justice. They are not mental perverts or moral degenerates. Every day they spend in prison makes them less fit to return to society, not more fit. If these facts are undeniable, as they certainly must be, how can any one insist that all pardons should be abolished just because a certain percentage of them turn out badly? About the only generalization that can safely be made about pardons and paroles is that they never will be handled perfectly until development of the science of psychiatry has made it possible to explore mens minds with accuracy, forecast reactions and conduct, tell with certainty whether they are anti-social misfits or not; when, in other words, we can tell in advance rather than in retrospect, by examining his mind rather than his record, whether a man should be in prison or out of it.

Obviously, mental science has not even approached this point yet; it seems to be more than likely that it never will completely achieve it. Nevertheless, definite and important progress has been made along that line and more progress certainly is to be hoped for. It is no idle dream at all to suggest that eventually all parole boards and pardon advisors will be mental specialists, not jurists and politicians. But even awaiting that time, it is preposterous to suggest that all pardons be abolished. The right system of pardons and paroles is the only hope of a final solution of the prison problem.

It is to that end that persevering energy and thought should be directed. Items from The Register of July 31, 1908 5 5" J. A. Robinson returned last evening from a business trip through Colorado, Montana and North Dakota, visiting Denver, Billings and a number of other important cities.

CHRIST ALL-ALL ROR CHRldT Bible Thought for Today RIGHT REASONING: Let us reason together, salth the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18. FORGOTTEN MAN. There is a forgotten man in the program of the N.

R. A. He is not the employer who is sacrificing profits and reserves in order to create- new employment and buying power. He is not the man who will be benefitted by these sacrifices, who will receive a Job or an increase in wages, who will constitute this new buying power. He is the man between, the one who had a job yesterday and who still has It today, whose wages have neither been increased nor decreased.

Nothing has been said about this man, and yet he is the one in the last analysis upon whom lies the success or failure of the N. R. A. He is the present purchasing power. And he far exceeds in number and potency any conceivable new purchasing power that may be created by the N.

R. A. What is this man going to do the coming five months? Is he going to spend his wages down to the last cent? Is he going to be irritated at the higher cost of goods, even though he knows it is all a necessary part of the program, and restrict his purchases? Is he going to be possessed of a fear that it is all bound to blow up pretty soon and put every penny he can away in a sock against that time as a result? Upon the answer to these questions, we predict, depends the success or failure of the N. R. A.

program. If the man whose income is not affected by the N. R. A. will fall in line with the movement, accept the slightly increased cost of living with a smile, go ahead and spend his money like a sport -there simply is no possibility, of failure.

If he pulls into his shell, restricts his purchases, puts his money into savings Instead of merchandise it is upon his shoulders that the blame for failure will rest. ABOLISH The favorite indoor sport of edi torial writers is generalization. And among subjects upon which to generalize, none is much more of a favorite than the crime situation." Unlimited horrible examples can be produced as a basis for practically any conclusion. The latest horrible example Is the Barrow brothers. Both had served prison terms and had been pardoned.

One of them, "Buck, was turned loose upon society again' through a Ma Ferguson pardon only last March. Since then the Bar-rows have been conducting a campaign of terrorism, robbery, and kidnaping alcng the highways of states in the middle West. They broke into a national guard armory in Oklahoma and stole enough weapons to arm a regiment of bandits. They had two machine guns with which they sprayed death on posses that sought to capture them. The murder of two officers at Joplin was only one of their many recent crimes.

The generalization has Instantly been made that pardons should be completely abolished. Once a crim Inal, always a criminal" has been proved by the Barrow brothers. Why should society subject itself twice to the ravages of desperadoes it once had behind prison bars and could have kept there? Heaven knows the pardon system has been used with Just about as low a degree of judgment and efficiency as anything connected with American Jurisprudence, but to Good Sized Crowd Attends' Ice Cream 5 Social field by Boy Scouts Saturday.

When Senator LaFollette, two years ago, proposed national planning. doubting Thomases said it was impossible in a competitive society. Perhaps the absolute elimination of waste is unattainable. But even the beginnings of planning will save huge values in wealth and human security. With a controlled industry and a planned public works program, America can outgrow its Topsy age.

Cleveland Press: For 150 years the United States, like Topsy, Jes growed. ---Result: Sprawling, Jerry-built cit ies, with streets often almost inaccessible to modern traffic germ breeding slums and half-vacant skyscrapers; industrial sore-spots like the soft coal coves, one-industry cities, over-specialized rural regions; waterways competing railroads; billions wasted in uneconomic subdivisions, abandoned towns, useless schools, needless highways; billions more wasted through the unwise use of land and reedy over-exploitation of forests, gas, oil and mineral wealth. Today comes a gleam of collective Intelligence, the beginnings of na tion-wide planning. Under Title I of the national recovery act it is possible for some 7.000 trade associations to for self-discipline, to plan their businesses, to conserve their raw materials and gear their output to probable need.

Under Title the $3,300,000,000 of public works money can be spent with conscious effort directed toward a national building plan. Secretary of the Interior Ickes has just named a national planning board of three experts to guide his public works administration in its spending. The type of men he has selected gives promise that this will be more than a pious gesture. Cities like New' York. Chicago and Los Angeles are building with the aid of planning councils.
