THEIR LITTLE GIRLS
(Portland Journal.)
One of the prisoners who pleaded with the parole board
for his release from the penitentiary a few days ago because
his minimum sentence had expired was guilty of what in legal
terms is called a crime-against nature..;,' . ;-....-i; '

JHor,e plainly, he was a sexual pervejt. Itlwas' ttie testi

evidence being acts since he had been confined in the institu-
tion.) . - -' :-

l. Another individual who pleaded for liberty was a man
past 50 who had ruined his own 13-year-old daughter and who
was self-confessedly so overmastered by his impulses that no
little girl, not even his own, could be safe alone with him.
There were others of the same sorry, sordid stripeThere
was also Tom Smith, who in nine years assaulted seven little
girls, because weak-headed parole boards and insufficient sen
tences permitted him to be at liberty most of the time when
all the time hie ought to have been at hard labor under guard.
The present parole' board gave direction that the perverts
before it'go" back and serve their maximum sentences. The
worst of them was suggested for commitment to the feeble
mnded institution.: But even to insist on maximum sen
tences was only to defer the evil day of their release and
their renewed menace. ; . . : E ;
' Men,' young or oldj whose very liberty is a threat, shojtrid
never escape full penalty. The "sheik" who takes girls on

own sake but for the sake of the -warning to others of his

,- The above from" the Portland Journal of Thursday shows
hat Marshall N. Dana, managing editor of that paper and
ately appointed member of the parole board, has been reading
up on the law and making inquiries
And he finds that "only in the most indirect and incom
petent way" can the present law function in the cases of what
it terms moral.and sexual perverts and habitual criminals.
What is to be done? There must be amendments to the
aw. - There must be profound study along these lines.
Our higher schools should maintain courses in crimin
ology and penology The treatment of crime and its related
subjects and the administration of the laws with reference
thereto should be raised to a profession. It is of primary
importance, and the world has been treating it in a haphazard
manner that is a disgrace to our so-called civilized countries.

Of course you have to be -a good cook to make good cake, but with
good materials it's, easy to be a good cook.
3 - For instance, a; good shortening like Snowdrift is a big help in
making good cake,' is'much easier to acam Snowdrift in with the
