to gird the democrats for victory In
1912.
Senator Hitchcock's organ now
comes bark with another argument,
which It thinks a clincher, namely,
that if Nebraska goes republican this
year the result will be bailed as a
Taft victory, and used as the founda
tion of a campaign for s Taft
delegation to the republican na
tional convention. The Intimation
Is that republicans In any way dissat
isfied with Mr. Taft ahould vote the
democratic ticket to prevent this ter
rible calamity. But If Nebraska
goes democratic this year with the
aid of republican votes, Mr. Bryan,
and Mr. Hitchcock's organ, and all
the little democratic organettes, will
Immediately acclaim the result as a
democratic triumph1 and Invite every
one to come Into the democratic
bandwagon for 1912.
The democratic solicitude Is not
over who may be nominated at the
next republican national convention,
.but to beat whomsoever may be nom
inated with the democratic nominee,
whoever he may be. On the possi
bility of carrying the country for a
democratic president these democrats
hang their hopes on carrying Ne

governor and state officers, and a
democratic United States senator and

can be legally done in California,
now that the state has engrafted
woman suffrage onto Its constitution.
If Jury service goes hand in hand
with voting, it Is not at all unlikely
that one or more of the fair sex may
sit upon the fate of the McNamaras.
If California meant what It said when
It declared that It deslrod women to

Taking Chances on Criminals.
The governor of Oregon Is receiv
ing much praise for his merit system
of treating hardened and other peni
tentiary convicts and the warden of
Nevada's state prison seems to have
adopted similarly lenient methods.
Both permit convicts to go to work
in open fields unguarded and free
handed. The Nevada warden has
even extended the courtesy to life
prisoners, while the governor of Ore
gon says ho has accompanied prison
ers equipped with large corn knives
for work, while he was totally un
armed and unharmed. The Nevada
ofllctal has apparently gone him ore
better by giving a long-terra convict
money for his railroad fare to an
other town to do an errand. At the
federal prison in Atlanta and else
where tho bars are said to be sim
ilarly let down.
To us, this seems like taking un
necessary chances without assuring
results. Humane and sanitary treat
ment of prisoners does not call for
quite that sort of thing. Prison re
form does not have to transcend the
bounds of safety. Thoughtful peo
ple, as well as sympathetic, believe
In treating the criminal with humane
consideration, and they take Just as
much Interest In every reasonable
effort to make his lot better aa does
the emotional man or woman. There
always danger, however, In ex
tremes, even In so righteous a reform
as the care of prisoners, and this In
novation strikes us perilously near
that limit.
Justice as well as mercy, Judgment
gs well as Impulse, has to be observed
In penology. Before giving liberty
to the hardened criminal It Is well to
remember that he was on probation
longer before entering the prison
than he has been since, and failed.
His Interest Is not alone to be reck
oned with, but society's as well.
Brotherly love can be ahown and
taught criminals without inviting
disaster.
