Student's Story Published Early Spuds Potato growing in the United States dates back to 1719 when stock brought, from Ireland was grown successfully in Lon­ donderry; New Hampshire. The following is a story written "by Bill Howard, a student at Harrison, school, Wonder Lake, that appeared in the; May issue pf the Illinois History magazine. This is aV publication for te^ns sponsored by the Illinois Stjite historical society. The title of the May issue was "Reform Movements in Illinois". WISE AND HUMANE John Peter Altgeld Was . born in 1847 in Germany. He was brought to America ami settled near Mansfield, Ohio." In. 1864 he joined the Union Army and served a short time as a private. For a while after that, he taught school Then he studied law and served as a judge of the Superior court in Chicago from 1886. to 1891. In a speech in Chicago in .1890, he proposed some chariges in the existing system of punishing criminals in Illinois. For 10 years Massachusetts had had success with a probation system which made a distinction between har­ dened ' criminals and men who could be rehabilitated. , Altgeld began a personal crusade to reform Illinois' pepa! system. In describing the i806*s system of law enforcement, he said, "We proceed upon the theory that if the of­ fender pays for or expiates the violation, then that ends 2 He can go right oft and violate thevlaw a second time.": His system was to punish and fine the violators and imprison them only when necessary. In addition to/his com-' mentson sentencing, Altgeld raised numerous specific objections against the penal system. Arresting and imprisoning were done too brutally, he said. Police officers treated their prisoners roughly and abused them. Even prisoners who were later proved innocent Were beaten. He also did not like the treatment of youth; young people were treated just as badly as adult criminals. They woe beaten and imprisoned just like the worst briminals. Some of the • prisoners had broken the law because of an inability to adjust to society. They were not really bad people, and Altgeld suggested they should.be given a fair chance to start a new life. Aitgeld's ideas concerning penal reform were new to Illinois when he wrote Our Penal Machinery and Its Victims. His ideas were not accepted with great support because they contradicted the existing theories con­ cerning criminals' treat­ ment. His ideas were far too advanced for his time. He served as governor of Illinois from 1893 to 1897! While governor, he set up a ptogram for wide social and political reform. His ad­ ministration enforced laws on .factory inspection and established a state board to settle strikes. He also im­ proved the public shcool system and passed in­ dustrial and prison reforms. Aitgeld's ideas for reform were ahead of their time, and the majority of people wondered if it was wise to change so much so quickly. r But time has proven Jjbat' Aitgeld's reforms were not only wise bijt- also humane. liEN WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS DELLIIQU0 MERCHANTS OF FINE WINES ; izi A \A/ dtc ion CLIENT INTAKE Director of the Illinois Department on Aging Peg Blaser announced resump­ tion of client intake for Illinois' Community Care program of in-home services for the state's elderly on May 15.
