NORTHEN. H Is conceded on all sides nnd by all rlassf’s or our people that there are „me fundamental defects In our court methods for the administration of the , , ha t need to be corrected. What X,« e defects are many of ua know Ly through the miscarriage of Jus- ite os the result of some court trials ’,nd subsequent hindrances that oc- It certainly must be within the power of those who are learned in the law to •ingest to our general assembly the .memlments necessary and the new enactments required, that the people may he protected against lawlessness ,nd crime and violence and misrule. If ue preserve the peace of the state and enforce order In these troublous time* we certainly must have adequate law nnd such proper and positive ad- ministration as the Intelligence of the conservative people will commend nnd our community Interests demand. The general dissatisfaction and unrest throughout the state seems to Indicate that this Is not now the case. Again, it appears that we have not yet hod sufficient law to handle prop erly and effectively some of our most irauhleioms people. This Is Certainly true of "tramps," "vagrants" and ed ucated criminals, who are thrust upon our communities—the latter class hav ing been made outlaws by the very eystenis we have adopted for punishing the violators of law. To meet the first, wo need a more comprehensive definition of "tramp" ,nd "vagrant" and. then, wise, strln- jenl and Just laws for dealing with inch people. The Alabama law, recently enacted, meets more nearly my view upon this lubject than anything I have yet seen. In Alabama the following people are declared "vagrants:;’ "(a) Any per ron who wanders or strolls about in Idleness or lives in Idleness, who Is able to work, and has no property sufs ncient for his support: (b) Any lter- mn leading an Idle, Immoral or prof ligate life, who has no property suffi cient for his support, and who is able to work nnd does not work; (c) any able-bodied person having no prop erty sufficient for his support, who loafs, loiters or Idles In any city, town lor village, or upon a public highway or about a steamboat landing, or a railroad station, or any other public place In this atate, or any place where latoilcatlng liquor is sold, without reg- ula- employment: (d) any person trad ing op*bartering stolen property or who ..-I.,,, f.ill.r ant la sir DfirffTH OttV SDllit* the burden of proof upon defendants. I do not agree with the Alabama law In the punishment provided for "va- . .. unlawfully sells or barters any spirit uous, vinous, malt or other Intoxicat ing liquors: (e) any person who Is a l common drunkard: (f) any person who ii a professional gambler: (g) any able-bodied person who Is found beg ging; (hi any able-bodied person who •hall abandon his wife nnd children or either of them, without Just cause, leaving her or them without sufficient means of subsistence, or In danger of becoming a public charge; (I) any per is a prostitute: (J) any per- ployee of a house of prostltutln; (k) my persn who la the keeper, proprie tor nr employee of a gambling house: 111 nnv person who has no property sufficient for hl» support and wjio Is able to work and does not work, but hires out his children or allows them to hire nut." All these people are declared to be "vagrants.'’ The Alabairtn law put* grants." For such people we need work house that they may be taught trades and haw to work at them and kept constantly employed until their morals are so strengthened as to pre vent them from becoming a menace to our society and dangerous elements In the community. We educate and train the unfortu nates who are blind. • We educate and train the unfortunates who are deaf and dumb. These expenses we gladly Incur, In order that we may make these people helpful members of society. It Is much Jess expense to educate and train bad people to become good, than educate and train them to become more wicked and thoroughly destructive members of society, why not establish reformatories and work houses for all these classes of "vagiytnts” and keep them employed until they are ready to he restored to the community as forces for good, rather thttn pay out more money and then return them to society fully equipped to destroy. If we can properly train and handle all these people In Georgia, crime and violence will be greatly reduced. To free ourselves from the dangers that come from the second class nam ed, do we not need fundamental and tadlcal legislation? Our present penal system begins with the boys, and, through Its direct pro visions of law. the state actually help* men and boys to obtain complete knowledge and thorough practice In all criminal methods, by close and con stant contact with the most evil and wicked members of our society. Our whole penal system Is wrong, and the people must come to consent to a rad- cal change. Why not hove reforma tories and work houses to take the place of Jails and chalngangs and In discriminate leasing of convicts, so that the violators of law may he educated away from crime and not led, day by day, Into the fullest knowledge of all the methods of Iniquity and sin? If this Is not done, crimes will become more and more prevalent and more and more revolting. Should not the state see that criminals who are pun ished are not made human devils dur ing their terms of service, but better prepared and better equipped to be come members of a society that they will help to build and make secure? Can It ever be enpposed for a mo ment that the Incarceration of a white boy or a negro boy, one day or sixty days, in a Jail or chalngang or peniten tiary—crowded with expert criminals— will ever tend to make either one of them a better member of society In later years? Did It ever enter the thought of any cltlxen that the aver age lessee of convicts ever considered, for a moment, the moral character of the men who,' for a specified term, fur nished the muscle to dig out profits for him are In turn to compensate society by Increased theft and burglary and murder and criminal assaults, after the convicts become free and are thrust upon us again as unguarded and un- hfndi ’ ered members of the community? Everybody must know such convicts are loaded to the brim with Iniquity that has been packed Into them during their terms of service under our pres ent system. How long ehall we toler ate this method of punishment, that ■rows more and more hurtful to our society conditions and more and more MISS AMANDA MURDOCK-MAULL. Cincinnati girl engaged by Dr. J. Lewis Browne as one of the contraltos for the May-June Musical Festival. Miss Amanda Murdock-Maull Said To Be a Beauty as Well as Vocalist * of Note. On a recent trip to Cincinnati, Dr. J. Lewis Browne made a discovery In Miss Amanda Murdock-Maull, a con tralto of rare Individuality of voice, and Incidentally an American girl of more than average beauty. Although not as well known In this section os some other singers who have appeared here, It Is believed that she will prove one of the greatest hits of the May-June Festival, where she will appear at sev eral performances between May 29 and June 1. Headquarters of the festival, at 519 Empire building, Is receiving mnny in quiries dally from music lovers, and the sale of season tickets has been unusu ally gratifying at this stage. Not the least pleasing feature of the festival will be the singing of a chil dren's chorus of 100, which will be led by Professor B. C. Davis, of the public schools. On the great stage of the Bt. Nicholas Auditorium, where the festi val will be given, they will make one of the most charming spectacles of the occasion. threatening to our civilization as Christian people? Is It not true that the state, under this system. Is now educating criminals on the Inside who are to bo handled by other criminals on the outside and oftentimes mur dered without the authority of law? Again, can we, the superior race, confidently expect the security of our homes when we neglect to enact nnd enforce such laws ns will fully protect the homes of the Inferior race from outrage and ruin and shame? It Is quite well known that there are racial conditions now working moral corruption and social evils that our present laws do not seem able to reach this unholy, mixing of blood, to sny nothing of the Insuffer able evlle that come to our communi ty life from this source? Again, how has It happened that we have delayed all these long and cruel years end not framed an enact ment for the protection of victims of criminal aasaults, while giving evidence before the courts? Why have we not, Virginia law, that allows the evidence to be given, not to the grand Jury, nor In open court, but before the presiding Judge, the attorney general of the state and the counsel for the prisoner—the prisoner himself being present?
