Phone: Hackange Main 9400, Think of Them First “There is in Seattle tonight an honest woman, a loving woman, who has been on her knees all day, weeping and ying that the stigma of a prisoner husband should not Ge nosed upon her babes.” : ‘ Charles E. Houston, manager of the Pacific Coast Coal Co., of Seattle, made this plea for clemency in the federal court at Tacoma Monday night after he had been found lity of conspiracy to defraud the government out of about 000 by making collusive bids for contracts, te Judge Cushman sentenced Houston to a year in jail and to pay a fine of $2,000. ‘ One can believe that Houston was sincere when spoke the words quoted. One can believe his heart wrung with anguish at the thought of his wife and children enduring the social slights and snubs which are the portion of the families of “jail-birds.” One can believe that he was thinking, not of himself, but of his wife and children, when he made that plea for clemency. It is true that the wife and babies, waiting at home, will suffer infinitely more than will Houston, if the fight he is making fails, and the authorities ultimately land him behind prison bars. ‘ It is a pity. It is always a pity. The ingenuity of man has not been able to devise a way to punish the guilty with- out hurting the innocent, Houston's wife didn’t conspire to defraud the government. Certainly his babies had no hand in it. But they must suffer. A man may take his medicine, serve his time, and on re- lease rehabilitate himself in the eyes of society, and live a wseful and happy life. It is possible. But the wife and babies must suffer shame and sorrow always to the end The law must punish law-breakers. The innocent must suffer with the guilty. The law of society is as inexorable as the law of the state—and much more cruel. There is only one way to protect the innocent from un- deserved punishment. It is by being yourself innocent. > * 2 Hooray! Let’s Go Swimming Well, the American people are to have one swimming pool that it will be a perfect delight to swim in!
