Among other things discussed by the experts in penology, who have recently been in the American Prison association convention, was the subject of murder and the most effective treatment therefor.

In discussing this question the prison officials were in agreement with the findings of the committees of the American Bar association and others who have studied criminology. The failures and delays in the administration of the criminal law have the effect of bringing the law into contempt and encouraging homicide. It is a well known principle that celerity in conviction and in the carrying out of the sentence is a powerful deterrent .to crime. A swift and sure punishment brings respect for the law and a wholesome desire to keep out of its clutches. England tries its murderers and carries out the sentence in a space of time that in our country would scarcely suffice for getting out an indictment. Shakespeare spoke of the laws delay but he never dreamed of such delay as is on daily exhibition in the average American criminal court. Another fruitful reason for bringing the law into disrepute is the deluge of laws that are poured out every year. During a recent five-yeperiod there were enacted more than 62,000 new and laws, during this same period more than 65,000 decisions were handed down by our higher courts, which made a mass of legal precedents that filled 631 large volumes. It would take more than a lifetime to read a single years crop of new laws and legal decisions. There is a plethora of laws to an extent that all laws come more and more into contempt. The prison officials also discussed the form that punishment for homicide should take. It developed that some of the prison-official-s were opposed to capital punishment, and others maintained that the jury should determine whether or not the death penalty should be imposed. Upon this subject there is a lack of uniformity in the laws of the several states. Both Maine and Rhode Island have abolished the death penalty, and Michigan, Wisconsin and Kansas have taken the same action. In the ma jority of the states the death penalty for murder in the first de cree is still the rule. Life is taken to teach that life should not be taken. The question of the treatment of the man who is serving a, life sentence also came up for discussion. The suggestion was made that he be shut off from all communication with the outer world and forbidden to receive either letters or visits. He might, however, be permitted to work and the product of his labor applied to the needs of his family or the family of his victim. It may be said that society would not permit such refinement of cruelty. Many a man who is under a life sentence still retains the affection of his kindred who seek to offer such solace as the law permits.
