Of 600,000 Only 75,000 Are in Jail. The Rest Are at
Liberty, Daily Tempted to Prey on Society. Inef
fectual Methods of Dealing With Lawbreakers.
Statistics show that there are
600,000 criminals in this country,
and that only 75,000 of them are in
carcerated, writes Detective Sergeant
Woolridge, of Chicago. Of this
£OO,OOO one-third are under 20 years
of age, one-half under 21 years of
age, and the chances are that all of
them will continue eriminalsthrough
the remainder of their lives. It is
Dlain that the ranks of the crimi
lals are recruited from young per
sons, and it is this fact that makes
%0 important the question, what
shall we do with our criminals?
If the jails and lockups in our
tuntry—4,ooo or 5,000 in number
—are in truth, as they have been
often aptly termed, in most cases
“mpulsory schools of erime main
tained at the public expense Wwe
shall have from this quarter alone
4l accession to the criminal classes
I each decade of perhaps 50,000
ained experts in crime. Surely, al-
Most any change in dealing with the
Young, with the beginners in law
breaking, would be an improvement
0 the prevailing system. Jails and
Prisons so constructed and managed
4 to keep separate their inmates
Vould afford an adequate remedy for
the evil. ynti] this can be done it
Would be far better to cut down|
largely the number of arrests and
Committals of the young. .
Professional pickpockets, burglars
41d theives, thoroughly known as
SICh by police detectives, are in all
the large citjes plying their vocation.
They haunt ay) great assemblies.
Recently on an occasion in Chicago
that drew multitudes to that city in
& day over g 9 professional criminals
Were identified, arrested, and held in
‘Ustody severa] days until the crowdB|
lispersed to their homes. NoO
Sl)e(,'m" crime could be provedl
3%ainst them., They were released
Vithout brosecution; but, of course,
ll;? “Ilts for false imprisonment were
"OUsht against the officers who de
laineq them, =
Education is an important factor
lin the treatment of criminals. In
vestigation shows that the educated
are 16 times less liable to commit
crime than the uneducated. Out of
599 criminals selected at random in
la New York prison 51 knew abso
lutely nothing, 34 could barely read,
214 could barely write a letter, 211
were reasonably well educated, 49
‘had attended high schools and col
‘leges, and but one was a college
graduate.
The professional criminal belongs
in prison, where he should be kept
at work *earning an honest living.
He should be kept there until he is
cured of his criminal habits i i
keeps him a convict until the enl
of his life. There is ample scope
for the indulgence of human feeling
and the practice of charity in deal
ing with our brothers, the criminals,
in testing days of temptation and
peril, when we see our convicts
passing out of the safety of the
prison into the dangers of freedom.
What has society, what has the law,
what has the individual done to pro
tect and encourage the ex-convict on
his discharge from imprisonment?
Ex-Convict’s Hard Roll.
Under the present system, in all
the states, a prisoner at the expira
tion of his term is set adrift with
a new cheap suit of ready-made
clothes, a railroad ticket to the near
est city, and a few dollars in his
pocket. he is to start out again in
life. He must earn a livelihood.
He must obtain employment. The
accident of his future may be de
termined by many causes. Whether
it shall be good or bad depends upon
numerous chances. How many grad
uates of Harvard or Yale, dropped
upon the world in such a fashion.
with all the benefits in character,
ability, and reputation college life
can give them, with no friends ex
cept such as beckon them to haunts
of vice and criminal ways of earning
a living, would get through the next
The Dawson News. Wednesday, October 31, 1906.
two years without being compelled
to beg, borrow or steal? How, then,
can you expect the discharged prison
convict, with the finest of good res
olutions but with no satisfactory
references as to previous employ
ment, with no friends of whom he
’can borrow, intoxicated with the sud
‘den sense of freedom, to avoid the
commission of new crimes before he
can earn an honest living?
Pity and Sentiment Wrong.
The convict on emerging from
prison should be no more an object
of pity than when he entered its
doors. The taint on his life is a part
of his punishment. It is not only
for himself but for the protection of
society, of mankind, that the future
of the eriminal should be a matter of
sincere and lasting interest. It is
cheaper and better for gociety that
he should be made a good man than
that he should continue as an out
law, under police surveillance, caus
ing further trouble and expense in
the administration of justice—an ex
pensive future inmate of prisons. To
reform criminals is a great and be
neficient work for the criminal, but
in a larger sense for society.
The system of indeterminate sen
tences has been a theme of discus
sion by all who have an interest in
this department of social science.
The system implies a sentence on
conviction that should not be for a
limited term as now provided by the
criminal law, but a sentence which
shall expire on the determination of
some proper authority that the con
vict has suffered punishment enough
to atone for the offense and to in
sure future good conduct so far as
it can be insured by punishment for
past misconduct. With the system
is associated a plan for the release of
prisoners on parole for a period of
probation to be fixed according to
the circumstances of the case.
The transformation of the crimi
nal into a serviceable member of so
ciety is the only effective protection
of society against crime. The mere
temporary caging of the criminal as
a wild beast is a protection to socie
ty for the time being, but if when
he is let out of his cage he is worse
than when he went in he may be
more wary and cunning thereafter,
but he will be more dangerous to so
ciety than before.
Many men are born criminals and
BIG SUIT FOR LOSS OF SKIN
Robbed of 42 Inches of Cuticle Un
der Skin-Grafting Contract.
Wm. G. Doll, who alleges that an
amount of cuticle much greater than
bargained for was taken from him
under a skin-grafting contract, has
entered suit in Chicago for $lO,OOO
damages against J. S. Atkins, George
A. Fackler and John C. Oliver, the
latter two prominent Cincinnati phy
sicians and surgeons.
The plaintiff says that he agreed
that a strip of skin one by six inches
should be taken from his leg, but
while he was under the influence of
an anaesthetic skin was cut from
both legs to the extent of 42 inches.
The case grows out of ,an auto
mobile accident in which Atkins was
injured, and it was fer his benefit
that the skin was taken.
early in life come to look upon the
officer of the law as a natural foe
and well-to-do class as natural prey.
As the representatives of this class
grow older and their ability devel
opes they aspire to the higher walks
in the profession, and finally come to
look upon small thefts with contempt
and common thieves with scorn.
They will spend a whole year in
planning a big robbery. Then there
is the great commercial criminal. He
generally winds up his career abroad
and remains deaf to all persuasions
to return to the scene of his exploits.
He is generally well bred and highly
esteemed, and, as a rule, started low
down on the ladder. He will enter a
large house, work hard for a small
salary,and eventually be promoted
to the position which enables him
to decamp with a large sum of
money. The reflection raised by his
exploits is that it would perhaps be
the better plan for corporations and
firms to pay better salaries and se
cure better men.

A DOG'S LONG JOURNEY.
Traveled Five Hundred Miles Back
to Its Old Home,
With nothing to guide it but its
natural brute instinct a Scotch col
lie dog, belonging to a man in Des
Moines, lowa, journeyed 500 miles
by itself from Valentine, Neb., where
it had been sold, back home again.
It is said to have reached the lowa
capital thin, run down, shaggy, and
footsore, but the same old dog, re
joiced to see his old master. The
Des Moines man will offer the Valen
tine man his price for the dog and
keep him. This is probably the same
dog which passed through Fremont
about two weeks ago and attracted
the attention of all who saw him by
his hungry looking and guant ap
pearance, but the accepted theory
then was that the canine was the
property of some farmer who had
lost the dog in town. If the animal
was the Des Moines dog he went east
on Sixteenth street, past the driving
park. Some of the boys out there
tried to catch him.—Tremont (Iowa)

HONOR TO DEAD NEGRESS
Most Prominent White Women of
the Community Followed Re
mains to the Grave.
In Alabama last week an aged ne
gress died—'Aunt” Clarissa. Fol
lowing her remains to the grave were
among other vehicles six carriages
occupied by the leading white women
of the community. On her grave
there were piled myriads of floral
tributes, the finest display of offer
ings of the kind ever seen in that
section of the country. Twenty-five
wives of farmers and business men
heard the sermon over the grave by
“Aunt’” Clarissa’s negro pastor. The
pastor, among other things, said:
“Much is said of the race problem,
of the present and future relations
of the black man and the white man.
I am willing to say that if all ne
groes lived the life this dead sister
has lived the race problem would be
solved.” \
“Aunt’”’ Clarissa was eighty years
of age at the time of her death. For
fifty years she had lived in one white
man’s service. She had cared for his
wife and children and grand-chil
dren. She was the person jn the
household who handled the money.
She bought the household supplies.
’She rendered accounting to no one.
She paid herself her own salary.
She saved all she made. She was
!more than housekeeper. She was
‘triend.
It is said that at the burial to the
sobs and tears of relatives were add
ed the manifestations of sorrow of
the white women, and that the lady
in whose home Clarissa had lived was
deep in anguish.
