DO NOT ABOLISH THE PAROLE BOARD
r
. The( convention of district attorneys of Oregon passed a
resolution on Friday calling: for t ie. abolitiorf of the parole
board or restriction of its power. , -'
; The parole board ought not tope abolished-f- .V. '
. But the law under which it operates should be amended.
, - . It should le amended ina waythat it ill scarcely i be
possible at the present time t0 havfe it done. Yet every mod
ern penologist and " criminologist who has made 5 a ; study "'of
i these things with ' an open mind, including practically all the
high class; prison off icials in jthis jod other advanced coun
f triesil agree that it is thejright way 4 ;
' ; - That is, that prison commitments should be indetermin
. att ; absolutely so. v p - ;"(; y j--'- - j
But the most important complement of this system must
be a scientifically operatingi parole jboard, administered under
the rules of common sense and humanity as well of those of !
a1 r ic legal requirements. I In fact, such would i necessarily
be a condition precedent! j ' ' j : '
- It is as much the business oj the state to reform the
v ma n convicted of crime as to confine him for the sake of
. protecting society against his activities
And in fact in Oregon; under jour Constitution, we: have
:t nut the right to adminkte4justicl;retributively f J!
. For the wise founders of our ktate wrote into our fund
amental law these words :'Laws'fo,r the punishment of crime
" shall be founded on the princples,of reformation, and riot of.

Oregon is under the inew'dispejnsation. v It Is not "an eye

'C- , would be a feather in jthe cap, of; Oregon if he should
i be the first state to step bul and go theholevway maice all
, ?;co mitments for felony absoluteljl' indeterminate. . - ; . .
That is the scientific ,'way.'lqfvixaji guilty: of crime can
. be turned from criminal way! merely by administering a long
v I or a short (sentence, like so nany pills iro many drps of
, j medicine-for, some" physical ailmept. V Thi ong term or .the
. short termjls not " the' required thfng Ifoi: what society fneeds
c in handling the convicted man. He can either be made over
i into a self supporting and law abiding citizen or he cannot.
" In most cases, he can; perhaps irt mote than 85 per cent of
all cases- : v. ' - i :j :-- 1 4 -
And if he cannot he should never be "given his frepdom,

WAITING FOR SECOND WIND
. ! -
The ambitious man may wisely take as his slogan the
advice a famous college athletic coach always bawls, to his
men when they enter a contest: ' T ' ' , ' '
"Don't stop running unil your second wind comes." - --
No man becomes an athlete who quits when his muscles
first commence to groan under exertion '
' The man" who always 'stops kt the first sign of fatigue
never' accomplishes notable! things. !f . s I '
; No. man becomes powerful or. effective in. the emergen
cies of life unless he has trained himself to continue until the
second'wind comes. s , , fi, ' "-?..,- .
No man becomes a scholar who stops studying when the
subject loses interest and when hie. become weary of it. :,
- No- man becomes a waiter fho abandons his ambition
when his first stories are ' returned. , , j,;' ,' , 1.
The sick and debilitated may succumb to the first fatigue
but a healthy man will gain in power and courage by strain
ing himself to his limit and resting later
;, As witness John F Stevens Thomas A. Edison, Henry
: Ford, 'and scores of thousands of others. .

Surplus energy too little energy. ; This is'youth and age
, The main difference between youth and age is not; as we
are to!d, that youth looks forward to life, and bid age to
death . , . . ' ' , '
r But in the fact that in youth thcj juices of the body are
fresh; its structures are lelasticl. and its adrenal, thyroid
pituitary and other glands, as wfell as the flexibility of the
bones and joints, impart 'a .feeling of ' vigor, ready ; courage
and recklessness . - f 1 ' j .
; ; Whereas the declining mobility of the, structures of the
aged sends to their consciousness a feeling of uncertainty and
fear which is expressed in over conservatism 'and a clinging
to the accustomed. Our radicals; our innovators, are young.
