Owing to the fact that many'con
victs in the state prisons are serving
their second and third sentences in
confinement, the idea is rapidly
growing, that our penal system is all
wrong, and should be changed. A
plan something like the ticket of
leave system of England, it is
thought, would give better results.
Since all that is required is confine
ment, when an ordinary offense
against the law is committed, the
second and third trials are a wholly
unnecessary expense.
Let the
criminal be renjanded to prison, and
stay there until he gives evidence
that he will behave himself and be
come a law-abiding citizen, when a
proper authority eould give him a
parole. So long-'as he did not vio
late the provisions of his parole, i. e.
violate the law, could he enjoy im
munity from prison. But whenever
he is detected in the commission of
crime, which could be determined
by any juclicial officer, a
simple
re
manding' of the offender to prison,
should be all that is necessary, and
the expense and delay of our pres
ent generally tedious system done
away’ with In subsequent convic
tions. Another good feature of this
paroltior probationary system would
be, everyprisoner would know that
his own conduct would regulate the
length of his confinement, at once
forming a stimulus for good be
havior. Also knowing when he is
out on parole, that he is being
watched, and that his road back to
prison and perhaps hard labor, will
be shorter and more certain, than
when he was first committed, an in
centive to good behavior is thus
formed. Still another good feature
of this plan is, it Would do away
with pardoning criminals, except in
cases of a wrongful conviction. Or
dinarily, executives use their dis
cretionary powers in granting par
dons- sparingly, and only where
there is great cause for doing so, but
frequently the power is used entire
ly too freely, and when so used,
penal punishment becomes a farce
and is no preventive of crime. The
plan is woi thy of a trial at all events
and several state legislatures are
contemplating the enactment of
such laws.

Miss Adams, who lives near Sil
verton, Marion county, went horse
back riding the other day. Her
saddle had been hanging all winter
in the barn, and she noticed that
the seat of the saddle appeared as
though a stick might- be under it,
but could not be removed without
ripping the saddle. After riding a
few miles the horse became sudden
ly frightened and began to rear and
plunge. Upon looking around, she
discovered a snake crawling from
the saddle, and with its head strik
ing at the horse and then at her.
Realizing her situation she jumped
to to the ground. Holding the
horse with one hand, she killed the
snake with a club she held in the
other. It was found to be a black
rattle-snake three feetlong, and was
entirely too much warmed up to be
a comfortable companion.
