A Judge’s Words
To 2 Young Felons
The Vidalia Advance in south Georgia published the
following the other day and it was picked up by another
splendid Georgia weekly newspaper, the Waynesboro True
Citizen, which reprinted it last week. It is long, but if you
will read the first few sentences we guarantee that you will
not put it down until you have read it through. Here it is:
Every once in awhile you read something so good you
want to do what you can to give it maximum exposure.
This is one of those times. Unfortunately, the message is a
universal one in today’s America.
The article that follows has already appeared in print
twice that I know of. Originally published in the Marks
ville, Louisiana, “Weekly Tunes”, it was then picked up
by the Bethesda-Chevy Chase (Maryland) “Tribune”
where it came to my attention.
It concerns the remarks of a judge in lowa to two
thoughtless teenagers. It’s entitled, “Message for You, Son,
from an lowa Judge” ... and maybe it should be reprinted
in your local paper, too.
“These are words which anyone’s son might never hear
until too late. An lowa attorney presents them as adapted
from remarks made by a district judge while sentencing
two high school boys. The youngsters had thoughtlessly
made a practice of ‘borrowing’ autos to go joy-riding. The
article is presented here for parents, who may wish to im
press their own sons with the importance of obeying the
law. These are strong words, but much easier to take
second-hand than from a judge, however kindly, speaking
man-to-man from the bench. Here is the text:
“ ‘You come from good homes, both of you.
“ ‘E , I have known your father for many years and
I have for him as much respect as for any man I know. I
do not know what attitude be has taken about this at home,
but since your arrest he has gone about his work with his
face as full of sorrow as if there has been a death in his
family.
“ ‘You retain his love, but you will never again have his
full respect and confidence. There will never be a time
when you are away from home when he will not have a
fear and wonder about what you are doing.
“ ‘H , Mr. R tells me your family is as good as
E’s. You may be sure that things I say apply equally to
you.
“ ‘Now you have been convicted of a felony. A felony
is a crime for which you might be sent to the penitentiary.
In this case I do not have to send you to the penitentiary.
The law gives me the choice of sending you to Anamosa
for one year, to the county jail for six months at hard labor,
or fine you S3OO. Because you are only 16,1 can send you
to Eldora instead of Anamosa.
“ ‘Because this is your first conviction and because you
are not infected with veneral disease, I am permitted to
give you a parole. The law does not allow parole for per
sons infected with venereal disease or for offenses other
than the first. Never again will any court have the right
to parole you.
“ ‘But if you never see the inside of the penitentiary or
jail, you will not have escaped from the penalties of your
crane. You stand convicted of a felony. The record of your
conviction will be here as long as the courthouse stands.
“ ‘No amount of good conduct in the future can ever
erase it. Next year, or ten years from now, or when you are
old men, if you are ever called to be witnesses in any court
of law, some lawyer will point his finger at you and ask this
question: “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”
And you will hang your head and admit that you have, be
cause if you should deny it, then the record of these pro
ceedings will be brought up from the vaults and read to the
jury. And the question will be asked of you for the purpose
of casting douht on your testimony. Convicted felons are
not believed as readily as other persons.
“ ‘lt may be that some day you will have a chance to get
a job in one of the expanding countries of South America,
and you will apply for a passport. You will not get it.
Canada might allow you to come in for a two-week fishing
trip, but you will not be allowed to stay. No country will
allow you to become a resident. Your world is O, so much
smaller than it was.
“ ‘Some day you may seek a position in the civil service
of your state or of your nation. On the application blank
you will find this question: “Have you ever been convicted
of a felony?” If your answer is not truthful, it will be de
tected, because appointments are made only after investi
gation. The record is here to be found by anyone interest
ed.
“ ‘Some day you may want to take a position of trust,
where a surety bond is required. On the application for the
bond will appear this question: “Have you ever been con
victed of a felony?” And while you go from one bonding
company to another trying to find one willing to take a
chance on you, the position will be filled by some applicant
who has not been convicted of a felony.
“ ‘ln a few years you will be 21, and others your age will
have the right to vote, but you will not. Your father may
be a candidate for public office but you will not be allow
ed to vote for him. The members of your political party
will not be interested in you, because you will have no vote
to give. You will be a citizen of your state and your country
but you will have no voice in public affairs.
“ ‘lt may be that some day the governor will pardon you
> and restore your rights, but it’s goings to be humiliating to
ask him. He’ll want to know your whole record. It is a bad
one.
“ ‘Your country is calling men to the colors. Its need is
such that men are being drafted. But the army will never
accept you nor will the navy. Military men are proud of
the service; they will not permit it to be debased by the
enlistment of convicted felons. You may serve your coun
try in a labor battalion, but never behind the guns. Yours
may be drudgery of war but never the honor that comes to
a soldier.
“ ‘I am granting you a parole. A parole is in no sense a
pardon. You will report to the men who have accepted
your parole as often as they may ask, and at such times as
they ask. Your convenience is not a matter of importance.
You will answer full and truthfully any questions they may

certain places or with certain companions, you will follow
their suggestions without question and without grumbling.
“ ‘You will obey your parents. If your parents send you
to bed at 9:00 o’clock you will go without complaint. You
will perform such tasks as are assigned to you. Your parole
is a fragile thing.
“ ‘Should the slightest complaint of your conduct reach
this court, your parole will be revoked immediately and
you will begin serving your sentence. You will not be

picked up and taken to prison without notice to you and

ANSWER®
Sex Not Evil
Do you think that we ought
to teach our young people that
sex is evil? it seems to me a
contradiction to preach to them
that sex is nasty and wrong,
when they know their parents
participate in sex. How can
we, logically, tell our children
that sex is taboo, when we
married people practice It reg
ularly? R . I#
Nowhere in the Bible do we
read that sex Is sinful in the
marriage relationship. Just as
a man does not practice law,
medicine, or psychiatry, with
out due accreditation, one does
not participate in sex until one
is married. It is as simple as
that.
The evil of sex is practicing
it outside the bounds which
God has set for it. Os course
children are warned about the
mental, and physical
repercussions of promiscuous
sex. This protects them against
hurtful experiences, and is pro
per. They should understand,
(and I believe they do) that
just as it is unlawful for them
to drive a car without a driv
er’s test and a permit, it is
improper for them to engage
in sex outside of marriage.
Since sex is an expression of
affection in the marriage re
lationship, children would be
disappointed and disillusioned
if they thought their parents
did not engage in this expres
sion of love. Psychologists
point out that one of the chief
causes of frustration among
growing children is their par
ent’s lack of love and affection.
The Bible says, "Let love be
without dissimulation”. But coi
tal love is restricted to the
married.
