Why We Punish Criminals to Safeguard Our
Rights and Persons and Property
By M. K. THOMSON, Ph. O.
E P U N IS H crim inals because we
don’t know w hat rise to do w ith
W
them.
T h e word punish la significant. I t
harks back to the tim e when revenge
w as th e dominating motive. "An eye
fo r an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
W e look upon tbe crim inal as an ene­
my who must be destroyed. Fear, an­
ger, revenge are the common motives
th a t actuate our attitude.
Crim inals a m also punlubed fo r ths
purpose o f making examples o f them
w ith the hope th a t thia w ill bave a
restraining Influence on others. Un­
usually severe and even cruel forms
o f punishment a m meted out to crim ­
inals largely on this basis.
Society is slow to learn the lesson
th a t the severity o f ths punishment
does not deter crime, tn fact the
mom severe the penalty the less
chance them Is o f obtftinlng a con­
viction before a Jury. One authority
states that during the Eighteenth cen­
tu ry when 160 different offenses were
punishable by deatb in England crime
flourished. H e adds that even when
pocket-picking was punishable by
death, a public hanging, where every­
body was looking upward, was a fa ­
vorite place for pick-pockets to ply
th e ir trade.
According to the crime records of a
large American city only 15 per cent
of those trie d for felony were actually
sent to prison. From another great
American city the records show that
fo r every 160 murders committed tn
th a t city only one murderer was ex­
ecuted.
W e punish crim inals to safeguard
our rights and persons and property,
to get even with the offender, to make
an example of him that others may
be discouraged from following bis ex-
ample, and finally to help reclaim the
crim inal himself and make a decent
citizen o f him, insofar as that Is pos­
sible.

H A V E Just received a new book
dealing entirely w ltb the question
of marriage, analjrxing. Investigating,
testing m arriage as so institution, and
purporting to find out w hat is wrong.
As m aterial for Investigation, two
hundred normal and Intelligent mar­
ried men and women were selected.
They w ere each given, with assur­
ances of privacy, a questionnaire of
four hundred questions, the first one
reading. “W h at is there In your m ar­
riage that Is especially unsatisfactory
to you?” the others Including a v a ri­
ety of pertinent questions, designed to
get at the reasons for failure to be
up his arms w ith the sleeves pushed
back.
The man was so surprised be al­
most dropped the meat he was cook­
ing Into the fire. Then, before he knew
himself w bat was going to happen,
See-kls bad told the man everything
About the bogan where there was
no father, and the mother who cried
because the f«od was gone, and about
the work that he wanted to do. The
man put out his arms and gathered
Nah-wah Into one and See-kls Into the
other and his voice was very gruff
when he spoke.
“W h at is the name of your mother r
he asked.
“M alle la her name and my father
was called Lupo of the Red Rocks,"
The man did not speak for a little and
then he cleared his voice w ith a big
noise—
“I believe,” he said, “that your
mother, Melle, la my very own slater.
F o r a long tim e I have looked for
her. I have been fa r away In a
strange country and now I have come
back to look fo r a home place. W e
w ill go now before It la too dark to
find the tra il."
And this time they did not get lost,
and the new uncle had money and
other things th a t brought the smile
looks back to the mother’s h e a rt
ady.

"B u t lo o k !” said Nah-wah, and
there was a tremble to her voice that
she tried hard to hide. “Look, now
th a t la the very same rock we have
passed before. See the place on the
top that looks like a bird on a n e s t r
See-kls, who was one year older
than his sister and fe lt very much
as I f he were a man, nodded. H e had
aeen that rock and he knew w ell w hat
I t m e a n t They w ere lo s t and already
the sun was going down In a bank
o f rosy mist behind the far-aw ay hills.
This day, be remembered now, had
been a very strange day from the first
peek o f the sun into the open hogan
door. T he sound th a t had awakened
him was one th a t he had never heard
before—« sobbing sound th a t made
an ache-place to come into his h e a rt
I t was his mother crying. Never had
he thought mothers could cry like
that I
“A l ee," he had heard her say soft­
ly, “W h at w ill we do w ithout food,
my little ones?”
So It was food th a t they needed!
T h a t was strange, always they had
had plenty of food. See-kls fe lt sud­
denly th a t he grew very old and very
wise. H e was the man now, he must go
and find food so that his mother
would not cry any more. H e had told
Nah-wah that he was going and she
was so eager to help that he had let
her come, too. And when the mother
was not watching they had started out
over the desert.
See-kls had no great plan, there
was no tim e fo r t h a t H e would go
u n til he found some one who needed
w ork done th a t he could do and they
would pay him in money and he would
buy food. I t was very.sim ple. Only
the desert seemed very much larger
now than he had ever thought i t be­
fore, and they were tired and hungry
and very,very thirsty. Nah-wah pressed
tigh t against See-kls, and blinked fast
to keep the tea r things from coming
in her eyes.
“Do not have fear," said See-kls, and
he tried to make his voice very strong
like a man’s voice. “This is a good place
to w a it until the light comes again.
H e re Is a flat rock where w e can
sleep and nothing can come near that
wo cannot see. W H A T IS T H A T I"
T hey both had jumped a t a crack­
ling sound In the dry sage.
“I saw a thing," Nah-wah whis­
pered. “Through the sage I saw i t
I t is a bear, See-kls,” and she began
to tremble so th a t her teeth made a
noise when they chattered together.
See-Ms was frightened, too, but ha
tried hard not to show It and they
waited close to the rock, watching
w ith big eyes the place In the saga
from which the sound had come. See-
kls pushed Nah-wah behind him and
stood very still, his heart pounding
louder than ever he had heard It be­
fore.
Nearer and nearer came that sound
and then through the sage pushed the
head and shoulders of— a very fa t
brown burro I See-kls fe lt foolish now
that he had been frightened and Nah-
wah came tim idly from behind him.
