1'or the execution of these statutes
a cosily establishment ia maintain
cd. There are conns for the trial o
criminals and for the ln-aritiK of ap
pi als in ihclr cases. Th'Te are prosi
ctitlng officers charged with the duty
of bringing to justice all who violate
public and private rights. In theory
the system is complete, but the prac
tical difficulty is that the laws are
not enforced. Officers of the law-
are neclient in falling to detect
criminals and sometimes ooniving at
crime. Jurors avail themselves of
(.hallow pretexts for acquitting pris
oners, and the guilty are permitted
to escape through legal technicalities
Delays that often defeat justice are
tolerated, and sometimes a false pub
lic opinion, a public sentimentality
shields convicted scoundrels from
final judgment. Often it happens that
men w-ho are themselves criminate
gain control of some part of the ad
ministration of Justice, or at least
have powerful political influence over
those who are charged with the exe
cution of the statutes. Surely a radi
cal reform is needed in the working
of the machinery which society has
provided, at much expense, for its
own protection, but the student of
affairs who has a habit of looking
at causes as well as effects, realizes
that a deeper and more radical re
form is required. It is not enough

report of firearms are heard and the
gleam of the knife seen so often;
that the burglars are so busy with
their ingenious tools; that the pick
pocket acquires such dexterity in
the art of appropriation. Such are
the surroundings of thousands at the
age when character is forming. That
their development into criminals is
envitable in the absence of something
like a miraculous interposition. To
state the case in a single sentence,
bad boys make bad men. The dis-
cipline of bad boys, then, is the grave
duty of the social reformer. If this
duty be neglected all other reforma
tory measures are vain. The disease
must be treated before the diseased
become subjects for the penitentiary
or the gallows. The discipline of bad
boys Is the only sovereign reir
