.28 1 Portsmouth, N. Monday, July 19, 1915. An Unusual View. The question of the treatment of convicted criminals is receiving much attention at the present time. There are many who feel that things should be different and the tendency in tlie agitation for changes seems to be.

toward lighter punish inent. Many of the reformers are'inclined to regard crime a disease and to contend that treatment rather than punishment-is is needed. This is the view taken by a writer in a communication to a prominent New York state paper, who believes the time will come wheirthe present methods of dealing with criminals will be regarded as barbarous and unsound as those which prevailed in the" early days of -civilization. he-believes the world is growing better, and that "there are more people who belieye iii corrective punishment, or treatment, as it ought to be against punishment for revenge, than there were a "generation ago." i It is a common error for those who feel a the law is too hard on its violators to regard (lie penalties inflicted.by the courts as in the nature of revenge, whereas they arc nothing of the sort. Even the extreme penalty of death for murder is not inflicted in a spirit of revenge, but for the protection of society and as a deterrent to such as would not hesitate to kill if they thought they could escape the penalty.

All talk of revenge in connection with the legal punishment of crime is unwarranted. The writer of the communication in question maintains thai-prison sentences should, not, be Prisoners should be confined only until such they are this should be.decided by a commission, "A person who is'a'menace to society should be confined as long as he is a menace," says.the writer, who evidently feels thai one sliould be released as soon as. he ceases to be, aanenace. But lio man is much of a menace to society is behind prison bars, and it is consequently safe to believe a definite terms will continue to be imposed for some lime to come. With the power of pardon and parole there are already quite sufficient means for shortening prison sentences, to make all sentences indeterminate and leave Ihe rest in the hands ol a commission would be a long step toward removing almost entirely the fear of the law, which is not as strong as it should be under Ihe conditions thai exist.

In Ihe light of such a glaring and grievous illustration it is folly to talk about equality before the law. This is a hard year for fish. West Virginia.there is com-, plainl that whiskey seized by officers of the law and emptied into the streams is killing the fish, and some of the northern states are growling about oil washed from the highways destroying the denizens of the slreams. The waters are indeed troubled, and it looks as if they would not be stilled cither by oil or the fruits of the still.

One'paper remarks lhai "al least the 170,000 women who are to work (he farms of England will have no lime to weep." But such things have been known as women working- and weeping at the same time, and il not necessary lo go to England or to Ihe scene of war lo prove il. The New York Sun explains'at length the and says it--the expression and not Ihe article--can be liseti without compunction, as "there is no profanity about it. 1 This should afl'ord some relief to persons who like lo be good but do not always feel that way. Spain has ordered a strictly up-to-date submarine which will be built in the United Slates. She had plenty of them, such as they the tinie of her late squabble wilh this country, but the trouble with' them was that when they went dowivfhcy wouldn't come up Attorney General Gregory is a i lo provide employment for federal prisoners at Ajlaiila and (ogive a part of their earnings to'lheir families.
