He Ras advanced the homor system, he veiled inuendos which are poisonous and unfair and not according to the facts. | Judging by the way the papers are casting inferences, every parole has been granted in a dishonest way when the fact is that the board has acted STRICTLY UNDER THE LAW, a law which, to our way of thinging, SHOULD BE CHANGED. . For. ~Instance in Wisconsin and other states when a man goes to prison, he STAYS THERE for the term of his sentence, but in Minvis the LAW says he can and must get out if he complies with the regulations of the prisons. Yet when the parole board <tarries out the strict interpretation f the law, it is condemned and if it DID NOT comply with the law, you'd see the reform mocieties hollering their heads off and denanding that it SHOULD methods in prison have failed and hbe would put the blame on the We repteat; The parole law should be changed; until it is the governor and others in authority should not b¢é blamed for its as so. In other words, if it complies with the law it ig criti-- cized; if it doesn't comply with it there's a demand to (",fi. the poor prisoners a chance to again become real men." . In connection with all this gush one hears about the parole board and the "efforts to make it appear that the board has been ®wrofig," that bribery for paroles, etc., has prevailed to an alarm-- ing extent, one who studies FACTS cannot help but feel that those seeking to make their own point do not hesitate at any» SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE OF No PAROLE LAW .
