TUESDAY, JANUARY 20.
Paroles From The Bench.
There is nublished on this pasre today a coramuni
cation from Judge 6. F. Skipworth, of the circuit court
for Lane county, concerning paroles irom tne oencn.
Judge Skipworth bolieves that any effort to repeal the
law authorizing such paroles would be unfortunate, and
that suah an effort would not, becauso it should not,
succeed. With his opinion that the law ought to stand
this newspaper is in hearty agreement.
Anyone who has had contact with criminal courts
knows that cases corao before the judge in which, from
the broadest regard for public policy, it is desirable
that young persons, convicted for the first time of crime,
shall be kept from tho penitentiury. This is not true
in all first-time conviction cases, but it is true of some,
A ludicious nudge knows which they are. iiy exer
cising the parole power wisely ho saves from complete
wreck and restores to future usefulness young people
who could not possibly be so saved and restored after
a term in prison, with its stigma ana its evil associa
tions. There is no mere theorizing in all this. It works
but in practice, and any circut judge can cite examples
in uroof. No assault on the law permitting paroles from
the bench can bo maintained or justifiod, therefore, ex
cept on the theory that the purpose of the law's dealing
with wrongdoers generally should be punitive rather
than retormative.
The Coe caso in Portland was highly provocative.
. The paroling from the bonch of the two brothers, con
victed and confessed arsonists, was of an aspect most
sinister. Tho fact that Judge Hewitt, who granted the
paroles, has refused to offer cither explanation or at
tempted justification of his course, adds to the provoca
tion. Nevertheless, the law should not bo changed be
cause it has beon abused in this and a few other in
stances. "Wisely administered, it is a highly humanitar
ian and vastly valuable law.
' , . Mussolini's Latest Crusade.
Mussolini, fascist premier of Italy, is amuck again.
Perhaps one should say that he is amuck still, as that
is nearer his usual condition of activity than any other.
The other day ho suppressed tho newspapers that re
fused to lick his boots. Before that he inveighed loudly
and drove against, successively but not very successfully,
the communists, the socialists, the Catholics and the
liberals.
This time the object of Mussolini's ire is the Masons,
lie says they have been spreading alarmist rumors con
corning conditions in Italy. Ono might remark in pass
ing that it would take a pretty active set of "alarmists
to paint conditions undor Mussolini in Italy as any more
alarming than they are, but lot that pass. What Mus
solini has done just now is to introduco in the Italian
chamber of deputies two measures whoso purpose, his
inspired press admits, is to drivo all Masons from Italy.
Under the bills all associations, societies and institutions
in the country would be required to submit to tlio police
nil their by-laws and other internal regulations, and all
officers and employes of tho government would bo pro
hibited from belonging to any secret society.
'Mussolini is several centuries behind tho times. He
thinks an idea can bo killed. Ho bolieves human think
ing can bo controlled by i'ox'c. His wholo theory, of
government is built upon tho ideas of repression and
oppression. .
. Mussolini has not read his history aright. Had ho
done so he would know that there ia nothing original in
bis idea of persecuting peoplo for (hoir beliefs. It has
been tried at intervals ulong up 111 rough the centuries,
but nobody ever made a buccohh of it, nor of repression
of the press. Nobody ever will do so.
Mussolini is impossible His star already is begin
ning to wane. No wonder, as tho correspondent of a
Now York newspaper cables from Rome to his paper,
"tlio royal family is tiring of ono crisis after another
and the king has openly broken with the premier on
the subject of proroguing parliament."
Tho Masons will bo in Italy long after Mussolini
hns gone.

A Square Deal. .
(Salem Statesmen)
The Deonla of Oreiron want, an tthtn.
lutely square desl fur the three edu
cational institutions.
They want a university, an aarlcul
tural college, and a normal They
want tne needs ot eacn eupplied. Ed
ucatlon must be balanced, and the op.
portunlty for it must be equal.
'lbe stute normal at Monmouth has
been growing out of all proportion to
its income. It U no more than fair
thut it have money sufficient to take
care ot its growth. It Is up to the
legislature to see that Monmouth
gets a square deal along with the
other institutions. A grest work Is
being done at Monmouth, and above
all this, the state Is very much inter
ested in having properly trained
teachers.
ABE MARTIN J
"Raiding tha State."
(Sa)em Capital Journal)
A strong lobby is present at the
legislature working in behalf of bills
designed to protect holders of irriga
tion bonds at tha expense of settlers
snd the state. Governor Pierce brands
the program as "an attempt to raid
the state" and in this surmise he is
probably correct.
The lobby represents the Flcish-
akor interests, the Anglo-Puris-Lon-
don bank of San Francisco, .the con
cern that financed these districts by
purchasing their bonds through their
own brokers at a heavy discount, let
cost plus contracts at 15 per cent or
more profit to subsidiary concerns,
and peddled the bunds at or near par
to the public, because of state guar
anty of interest, with the result that
some of the irrigation districts got
only 68 cents on tha dollar to show
for their expenditures, snd the state
is out the interest paid, due to- the
protracted era of agricultural depression.
Spoliation and looting of irrigation
districts of Oregon constitute one of
the biggest scandala in the history of
the state. The reaction has been to
discredit irrigation anil halt the
state's development. The only ones
profiting have been those who manip
ulated the bond Bales and contracts,
and now seek state assistance.
It is now proposed that tha state
refund principal and interest on long
term basis, payablo pro rata, acre for
acre; that the sale of surplus water
bo permitted; and that managers be
sppolnted by the courts as receivers
to take charge of tho properties,
whereby tlio state would get nothing
for its expenditures for interest.
The lobby for the gsng Is headed
by Fred L. Gifford, grand dragon ot
the Kit Klux Klan, and it will be In
teresting to see bow many klanstuen
be csn lino up for his proposals.

THE AGONY OF HOPELESS
WAITING
Chapter BO
After calling up tho police station
and then trying in rain to get Kent
on the telephone, I rushed back to
Nancv. She was standing by the
window in the kitchen. She cowered
before me and kept declaring again
nnd again that it was not her fault.
1 hardly listened to her. 1 thought
only of the baby and of how I coma
posaihly find him.
"Nnncyl Look at me! Would you
know that man If. you saw him?" I
questioned wildly. -
"I I guess I would I don't
know," slit sparred without looking
ut mo.
I was frantic. I was hardly sane
or I would not havo done such a
foolish thing. Afterward I realised
my mistake.
"Nancy. T want you to find that
man. Hurry! You saw which way
he went You have got to find him
and my boy," I cried.
"Yes, Mrs.. Armour," she answered,
quickly drying away the tears with
the back of her hand.
I followed her out into the hall,
and fairly pushed her on the eleva
tor. I never noticed how frantically
anxious she was to go.
Then I rushed bark Into the apart
ment. I ilid not know what to do.
I was desperately helpless. I watit
ed to rush out into the street after
Kent Jr. myself, but I realised, even
In my erased state, that that would
not help any,
Then the telephone bell rang. It
was Kent.
I told him what had happened. As
I talked I atsrted to cry and I could
hardly make him understand ms. 1
begged him to hurry home.
He asked a couple of questious in
a strsnge, hollow sort of Totce and
then rang off suddenly. I wondered
if he had fainted. I stood staring
into apace and pressing my hand lo
my temples. I felt as if 1 were being
suffocated.
I sink down for a second on the
little chair by the telephone. Then I
quickly grabbed it In my hands, and
gave central another number.
It was Tom Barney's office. Some
one answered.
"NoMr. Harney had left the of
fice over a half hour ago," they told
me.
I went Into the front room and
stood staring out ot the window. 1
thought of a dosen more questions
that I might havo asked Nancy. I
wondered at what time It had happen
edand why didn't Nancy run after
the man or call out to some one to
help her. She had acted so helpless
ud stupid. I watched tho people
passing by on the street. A little
burst of wildest hope made mo almost
expect to see my baby thorn among
them. Then suddenly all was blsck
again. "If Kent would only come,"
I cried. He had not even said he
waa coming when I told him over tho
phone. I needed him so.
I rushed bark and forth watching
and listening 1 could not think of
anything else to do. Every hope
and possibility seemed to collapse
about lne.
I went to the telephone and called
up tha police again and asked ques
tions. I told them to do everything
in their power.
They were splendid. They asked
me It 1 kept a maid, and said they
would send a detective around at once
to get any Information. I wondered
at that, hut at the lime I did not rea
lise what an important thing it might
prove.
At last tho door bell rang furious
ly and Kent rushed In. His face was
ghostly white and drawn. I tried to
take hold of him, but he stumbled
past lne and threw himself into a
chair. He looked ten jeers older
and the agony on his face was inde
scribable. 1 thought he would talk,
ask questions. I longed for his sup
port and comfort, but he did not even
look at me or appear to know that
t wss in the room.

Parole From Bench
Held Justified
Judge O. F. Skipworth Believes
Repeal ot Law Authorizing; It
Would Be Serious Mistake.
NEWS OF NEARBY TOWM
Special Correspondence To The Guard From various Lavo utsincta in ft, j.
EfcGENE, Ore., Jan. 19. To The
Editor). In 1005, the legislature of
this state enacted a law granting to
the circuit court power to parole from
the bench. This statute has been in
effect ever since its enactment. Since
the session of 1905, the legislature
has enacted several statutes dealing
very liberally with those who are ao
unfortunate as to be incarcerated in
the penitentiary.
Coe brothera, residents of Portland,
were recently convicted in the circuit
court of Multnomah county for the
crime of arson, were sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of years and
paroled from the bench. The act of
the judge in paroling these men has
been severely criticised by many news
papers throughout the state as well
as by civic organisations. Some of the
papers of the state have gone so far
as to advocate a repeal ot the law
granting the circuit court power to
parole from the bench. A leading
Portland daily paper, in an editorial
recently, called the attention of the
legislature to the parole of Coca and
Indicated tbat some legislation should
be enacted by the present legislature
either by repealing the statute or
amending the same so that hereafter
there might he no repetition suub as
the Coo parole. i
It is not the purpose of the writer
to criticise or discuss tho Coe parole.
However, I am of the opinion tbat
It would not only be a tremendous
mistake, but ft gross injustice to re
peal the present parole Inw, This law
has been on the statute books of this
state for 20 years; in the main it has
been wisely administered by the cir
cuit court. No doubt but what there
have been Isolated caaes of the abuse
of this power, or rather a mistake in
judgment in applying the law. Merely
that there have been a few isolated
cobcs of a mistake in judgment on the
part of some judge in administering
the law, Is no argument in favor of
Its repeal. The low is neither unwise
nor vicious; but the administration of
tho snme should be with an effort to
carry out the full intention of the
statute and no more. There are nu
merous cases In which a parole should
be granted from the bench; particul
arly is this true In cases of young
men who oro first offenders nnd if
the crime for which they are convict
ed Is not of too aerlous a nature in
many instances such should be par
oled from the beuch.
Crimes for which paroles should
not be granted, or at least rarely
granted, may be classified as follows:
Murder in any degree; rape; arson;
burglary; highway robbery; robbery,
being armed with a dnngcrous wea
pon; assault, witii Intent to kill; as
sault with Intent to commit rape.
Mnny a yoling man has been sared to
the state as a good cltlsen because of
a psrole having been granted to him.
Even though there may be an occas
ional mistaks of judgment in grsntin;
paroles, yet that should not condemn
the whole low. The power of psrole
should be carefully exercised whether
by a Judge, tho governor, or by the
parole hoard. It Is the administration
of the law which is at fault, and not
the law. Itself.
I do not think tst the present leg
islature will either repeal or curtail
the power of tho circuit court to
parole from the bench.
