AVo study crlmo too little from Its
n'lmiuclal moral and economical
standpoints. Too many good peoplo
aro only Interested In making a
Christian out of tho criminal and
where there Is no hope of that they
lose their Interest. Too many oth-
no looped for law except when
Invoking It for their own protec-
tion and they aro generally against
all people who favor law and or-
der. We have also transformed
them and their sympathizers Into
a dangerous political Influence

election this Influence Is felt no

punishments solely with the view-

better progress.
The hardened criminal is rarely
reformed and our most strenuous
olforts should be made to pnnont
the young from becoming criminal''
and to do this we - must suppress
those dons of vice where crime Is
taught.
Now just how we should go
about it requires both thought and
experience as well as a donp de
sire to accomplish the destruction
of crime and the reformation of the
criminal. If we can not make a
Methot.Tst or a Haptlst out of him
