H. Taft Scores “Sob Sisters’’ In Discussion > Os Cri m e Situation (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) » sentimentality of many develops into an obstructing public sympathy for bloortv-handed murderers who are brought to justice, leading to efforts to prevent the execution of sentences already pronounced. | “Such an exhibition as . tbht recently shown In Buffalo when a murderer. since executed, was cheered j because a jury disagreed may well be cited as an instance. t But 1 think the effect of such expressions of the weakly emotion may be exaggerated. “They belong ho the lunatic fringe of society. But if we can only get the murderers convicted and sentenced. I don't have any particular alarm about sending roses and cheers and apparent popular sympathy for those on their way to the penitentiary or the gallows.” . Th- chief justk. surges’* that '' ■ I 'which fiilde the newspapers and disI courages many people must in some I ( degree be attributed to the war as J an aftermath,”»but he suggested that j. "does not explain it all.” ( Mhile he did not take too seriously the maudlin sympathy complex, the i chief justice suggested that there is I however, “real danger in a lack of sense of proportion in associations j and persons pressing legislatures for measures which permit the parole of hardened criminals- through appeals to boards and officers that are not subjected to public scrutiny.” This he suggested, is a challenge to public prosecutors who should represent the interests of society against I any abuse of the parole pardoning power.” | “Then too,” continued the justice, “in the effort to avoid cruelty and to i reform criminals by measures of encouragement. reformers forget that i the chief end of punishment is to • protect society by deterring others . from committing crimes, and it dei stroys the main object to change a penitentiary into a free boarding • house with all sorts of entertainl meat. It robs punishment of its character as such and leads criming Is to l think that they will not suffer for law-breaking.” Despite the situation he pictured, , Mr. Tuft is optimistic for the future, and he observed in conclusion: I | “But all of this is now under investigation. Reforms are contemplated, able commissions are at work, the public is aroused and I look for great improvement in all the directions I have indicated.” Mr. Taft’s health now is such that he can take daily automobile rides or brief walks besides doing his work on briefs for the supreme court. The chief justice is proud of his estate here. His brother and another relative have adjoining cottages. Taft’s cottage is neatly decorated and his study and big living room ■ with cozy fire-place bear signs of Ms ; long career, including relies of his days ja the Philippines and pictures

reminiscent of his presidential days. hIH war board days and his court positions. I Out in the yard a aolden-haired ! baby grandson plays in a ‘’kiddle I cage’ and Taft sometimes watches him from his study window. i o-Self-Starter Worked Pekin, lil., August 24. (United Press)—Believing that every horse has a starter, if it can be found, a farmer proved his theory when Dobbin, having fallen into an open manhole, was awaiting the arrival of a derrick to rescue him, an the farmer, by a twise of the horse’s tail, caused it to leap high and wide of the trap. | But the farmer would not divulge the nature of the twist. 0 Mrs. E.
