Who said anything about hard times, Damnable is a strong word, but it is not too strong to express the Just disgust and indignation of the Tampa Tribune against the fools who point ‘“‘empty” guns at other people, with the result of killing one every now and then. Al] sensible people feel that way about it, and they also feel that mighty strong language is neceded to express their opinion of the father who doesn’t teach his boy any better. NSNS The time is at sharp lookout and hand to take the keep a neces- burglars and safe-crackers who in- vade the South every winter and are especially active in the smaller cities and towns. We note that they have already appeared in a Georgia town and successfully ‘“cracked” a small bank, and in western Florida a nest of scoundrels has been discovered and a conspiracy revealed to rob bhanks on a large scale. They work wit nitroglycerine or “soup,” as they call it, and it takes incessant police vigilance to head them oft. i O e s Wiith the weight of evidence over- whelmingly against it on its theory that the shark is not a man-eater, the Pensacola Journal reaches out for every scrap of support it can find, even among the well-known humorists of the press. It now quotes the Punta Gorda Herald to the effect that nobody has ever been attacked by a shark in Punta Gorda waters; and yet it is perfectly well known that Editor Jordan of that paper has an incurable infirmity in the way of “fish stories”” and ig nev- er so happy as when he Is taxing the credulity of his readers with one of his grotesque piscatorial yarns in which he ascribes habits and tastes and even conversation to the fish totally at variance with the well- | known facts of sub-marine life. el The personality of the venerable Count Zeppelin is so strong and masterful and his great dirigible air ship has so deeply touched the imag- ination of the world and its love of the romantic and the wondcrful that whatever concerns him has a pe- culiar interest for the public. An ‘Illinois paper now makes the state. ment that when the Count was in this country in the early sixties as an adventurous young German trav-[A. F. eler, he fell in love with Dixie, en- listed in the Confederate army and fought through till the close of the war. It js fascinating to think of this great old man in the big war now raging as a “Johnny Reb.” in a grap jacket under Lee. Sy S PRIMITIVE BRUTISHNESS OF OUR PENAL LAWS The new maxim in penology is | that penitentiaries and convict farms are for the treatment of erime with a view to its cure—not for the punishment of criminals. It is| shocking to think that through | thousands of years in which the'- human race in various stages of , civilization has been dealng \\'I(h! its criminals, the only idea has been ' that of brutish punishment, the re. taliation cf the savage for an ianry‘ done, and there has been little or no! thought of reforming the criminai and preparing him to leave his place ¢f punishment a better man than! when he entered it and with his' reason convinced that crime doesn’t | pay. In some parts of the country prog- ress is being made away from this'! cruel, senseless and primitive notion, but for the most part the world h:\a{ stood still on this vital issue, and to “get even” with the eriminal by his | Physical punishment continues to I»e: the policy of States and peoples pro- ‘fessing to be humane and enlight- ened. This is not onty bad for the convict, but very much worse for so- | clety, for when he comes out of prison he is confirmed in his hatred! of the forces that punished him, and, these i.'- | covNTY OF WRIGHT. THE EVENING TA%- Edison Fountain Pens with exceptions here and there, he is in all ways a more dangerous ele- ment in the community than he was before. No effort has been made to reach the good that was in him; rather has it been suppressed, and with as- sociations of the worst kind he 1s hardened in his ecriminal purposes and his chief mental employment is the development of a cunning that will “beat the iaw” when he is again at liberty and ready to renew his criminal life. We are turning such fellows loose every day from the conviet camps of Florida, and the authors of many of the worse crimes committed in this State are ex-convicts who over into fiends by the brutizhness of ‘'mere physical punishment and the constant atmosphere of crime and sullen resentment in which they lived. We need many reforms in this world and e:pecially in this part of the world, but none of them is more urgent than a new system of penol- ocy that will reverse the present or- r that makes liberated convicts more dangerous criminals than they were before. —_——— INTENTION TO APPLY FOR LETTERS PATENT.
