THE
CONVICT HIS FAMILY-
LAW.
GOVERNOR WEST Is to speak at
tho Opera I Ion ho this evening
upon tho pnrolo uyBtom which
ho has Introduced In Oregon penal
institutions.
Thero Is no doubt that thuro U u
vast Hold fur reform In tho present
methods of handling our criminals.
A feature of tho parolu Bystom that
.commends Itself to thoughtful mon lu
that It remedies a Hurlous wroug that
heretoforo scorns to have escaped tho
thought of those charged with tho
punishment or prisoners.
It Is urged that convicts must not
bo kopt lillo, that thuy must earn
thulr living and that tho peoplo
should not bu taxed to food and clotlio
an army of crimlualH.
Let us hco how thin works. Tho
state arrests a man who lu a drunk
cm iiunrrol hau stabbed a companion,
llo Is hurried away to prison. Ho
Is brought Into court, tried and con
victed. Ho is sent to tho tttato poul
tontlury for llvo or ton yearn or for
life. All tho whllu u young wife and
four or llvo llltlo children aro left
without their natural protector or
Hiippurt. They huddle in tho corner
of tliu rpurt room. Thoy hoar tho
lawyer lashings or ItiKubrlous
yawps. Thoy listen to tho verdict.
Tho cauo Is closed. Tho young father
is bundled off lu one direction lu
chains. Tho young family Is turned
off In another In tears. Tho state
takes tho time and earnings of tho
one to itsolt, leaving tho others to
Ktnrvo. Tlio mother dies of despair.
Tho boys grow up thieves. Tho girls
grow up harlots. Tho law Is vindi
cated. Tho taxpayer Is protected.
Tho criminal cIiihsoh are ruplonlshod.
Is it not dnmuablo? Does not tho
society which tolerated such monstro
nltlea deserve tho evils which It en
tails upon Itsolt? The state has no
right to tnko that man's labor from
his wife nnd children and give thorn
no equivalent. It Hhoilld punish tho
guilty, not tho Innocent. Hory dol
lar that la divortod In this way from
tho natural needs of tho helpless to
tho uses of tho publlo Ih bnso blood
money that should and does carry
with It tho curso of (lod.
If Oovonior West can contribute
anything to tho solution of this great
nud grave problem which confronts
Eocloty ho will havo rendered an In
cstlmablo sorvlco lu promoting public
welfare. It Is a hopeful sign when
our public olfloluls are devoting their
time and thought to tho solution of
such practical problems lu tho bet
terment of civilization.
ulntlon nlone, whon compared wlth
that of many of the other western i
states at the time of admission, these'
now states were entitled to their
stnrs.
An Interesting political Incident U
recalled In connection with tho final
successful appeal of Xow Mexico. In
tho seventies statehood had been
voted for Now Mexico In both houses
of congress, when Stophen B. Elkins,
nt that tlmo delegate from tho ter
ritory, happened to publicly congrat
ulate Julius Caosar Burrows on n
bloody shirt speech, which so anger
ed tho southern democrats that thoy
had tho bill recalled.
With tho admission of theso states
tho west has now such n preponder
ance of lnflucnco In tho Sonnto that
leadership cannot but drift away
from tho Now England group. It
hns been ono of tho anomalies of our
system that tho real domination of
congress hns always been with tho
little Now England states thnt nil to
gether could bo bundled up nnd lost
In cither Now Mexico or Arizona.

wT IS EASY to prench rest; to get

of tho hardest tasks, somotlmo?,
that n mortal enn undertake. For

MACON, On., Aug. 26. In nn

Injured. Sovernl persons wore more

IT SEEMS that tho people nro for
over ongnged lit working out the
details of our great and growing
democracy. Government is progres
sive. New issues nro constantly nrls
Ing, nnd many nu old problem comes
back for rc-solutlon, or at least for
readjustment. 'The evolving order,
both social and political, forover
compels us to pny tho prlco of intel
ligent vlgllnnco ovor all of tho pro
cesses of associated life. Onco we
thought It dangerous to admit the
populnco to participation In affairs
political. It looked llko Inviting tho
rabblo to n Jubllco of dohnuchery and
shnmo nnd certain rovohitlon In tho
ond. Tho old aristocracy did not
take kindly to a division of respon
sibilities nnd spoils, when audi divi
sion could only menn disaster. At
first tho oxtenslon of tho Bitffrngo
wns opposed nB nn astounding lnno
vntlon. Public cducntlon wns equally
opposed nB n futile menns of trend
ing Intolllgenco whoro It would do
moro ovll than good In awakonlng
discontent nnd passion nnd noblo
nsplrntlon through a diffusing Bys
tom of education, thnt wns Utoplnn
to begin with, nnd worso than nils
chlovous If nt length n pnrtlnt suc
cess. But wo have oven freed and
enfranchised the blnck man for his
betterment, wo sincerely hoped; and
public education has grown Into tho
grandest nnd most nll-succorlng
Htrticturo of paternalism that tho
emerging world has over known. All
of our splendid Institutions nro tho
outcome of public education nnd In-
crensed polltlcnl power, nnd demo
cracy novor was so sanguine. Not
that It never makes mlBtakes. I
would not deny that It does. It lias
long since been moro thnn half sus
picious that It went too far In extend
ing the suffrage) to tho llbornted
Blnvcs. But our atrldont democracy
corrects Its mistakes, or adjusts Itaolf
to them ns wlsoly ns It mny bo.
But it Is forovor on tho try, nnd
will bo till tho end of tho chapter.
Evils lu plenty nrlso nnd somehow
thoy must bo mot. Where old reme
dies seem futile, or out of tho ques
tion because of Inapplicability to now
conditions, popular experiment be
gins, and Innovations iuovltably ap
pear. Ours by law nnd growth Ih a
purely roprosontntlvo government. It
Is the only known effective Instru
mentality through which a huge
democracy can handle itself. Aud
yet It Is ovorywhoro felt that that In
Btrumontnllty Is seriously Impaired.
A phonomonnl development nnd nu
awakened greed with Its nmnzlug
contingent of graft accounts for tho
situation. Representative government
hns lost to nn alarming extent its re
sponsiveness and Its prestige; and It
Is tho purpose of tho peoplo to ro
storo tho old representative Idea and
function to their ancient effective
ness. There can bo no mlstnko about
that. Domngoglsm has nothing
whatever to do with tho widespread
movement. Tho only quostlon Is: Is
tho movomont in harmony with, or
in antagonism to, tho representative
function?
I havo chiefly hero tho recall idoa
of tho movomont in mind, Is that
helpful to, or destructive of, tho rop
rosontatlvo principle? Tho Initiative
nnd tho referendum, which are far
moro vital and about whoso purport
and political scope thero Is a differ
onco of Intelligent opinion, aro omit
ted from consideration. Our thought
Is; What Is tho charactor of tho ro
call aud 1b Its extension to tho Judi
ciary helpful, or especially and
alarmingly dangerous?
That the recall is something radlc
nlly now as a polltlcnl device is not
ignored, but thnt fnct nlono should
not bo prejudicial, olso wo Bhould
nover move forward ulong nscen-
slonnl lines. Progress forovor means
somothlng now. Men nro elected to
office such hns been our wnyward
drifting often by cliques and rings,
whoso creatures they become. Their
object is organized public plunder.
Often corrupt political alliances aro
so formidable that they are beyond
easy publlo control. Conditions cov
ering whole states need not be nam
ed. Under circumstances so over
whelming bad so reeking with
political turpitude It would bo portl-
nont to ask "Whnt quick and effec-
tlvo remedy hns tho victimized pub
lic for malfeasance and maladminis
tration In office?" The old ono of
Impeachment seems too often utterly
out of tho question. Or at least so
far off as to bo reasonably such. It
Is a most difficult thing to prove cor
ruption whoro It is absolutely known
to exist. Call a corrupt official,
whether senatorial or other, to pub
lic account nnd sec. It Is not sur-
..-luimr thnt Roosovelt Justified tho
recall In Cnllfornln. The wonder Isj
ho did not call for Its invocation In
many another state. It Is a condl-(

not an academic theory.
Caesar's wife should bo above sus
picion nnd so should tho public olll-
clal. Whether legislator or oxocu-
iivn. hn Is iiresumnhly elevated to
nffln. n ilo tho will of tho people.
To call him down nnd out Is not lu
Itself unreasonable. But moro bus-
tilnlnn without tho fact of criminal
evidence, nnd uninformed popular
clamor, Bhould havo no place in tno
statute of recall. Tho solo object of
Biich a law should be tho swift deca-
nltntlon of any ofllclnl who Is known
to havo entered upon tho enreor of a
malfeasant. If ho Is known to havo
yielded to tho pressure of corrupting
Infiuonces, that significant fnct should
constitute his official Waterloo, oi
course, ho should havo full redress
for wrong Inflicted by ucccss to tho
courts. No such law could bo wIbo
ly administered, no matter how man
nnd enroful ita restrictions ns to cri
minal ofllclnl action, without pre
serving recourso to legal remedies,
should tho decapitated wish to avail
himself of them.
With tho Damnscus blndo of tho
recall suspended ovor his head, it
Bhould seem that the olllclal would
bo n llttlo chary of his actions and
solectlvo of his Influences. At least
ho ought not to fall to, sco tho
"Imngo of denth" In n Jackpot. It
ought to be n most effectual memen
to morl to ono who must move among
a thousand Insistent corrupting for
ces. It ought to make for better
government nnd purer nnd more ex
ulted public llfo. It Bhould nnd It
will Invito Into public llfo n bettor
class of mon, whllo it holds In check
nnd minimizes tho sordid alms of tho
predatory hordes, with whoso mis
demeanors Boclety nnd polltlcB havo
bo long been unblessed. Thus far.
on the whole, I llko tho recall.
