That part'of pa llf regulation, nxHary, a It l. mill always be more or Ini dltflle. We inust check evil tendint'ta before Hardly a day passes but bat we hear or read of a"me terrible crime thai haa been committed. Should not thla awaken the social reformer to a aenne of duty when an existing evil 1 foaiered and reared at our very doors? Indeed It should. That so- li-ty'a machinery for punishing th criiuliiHl class, with a view io sun pressing crime la unsatisfactory will be geiu-rully admiitrd. U, lia every offense that can be committed lo em'li is nsstgiird a penalty lu.il should at once be vindicative In vis iiing upon the actual offi-uder th sharp colisiMjuenci' of hla mlsileeds 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.

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.
