robert G ingersoll delivered an address upon tle subject crimea crimes against the criminal in which at the outset he be demonstrated that puni punishment ament by torture and death have failed to abate crime crimea crimes were committed said be to punish junish crimes and crimes were committed to prevent crimes it is sate safe to say governments have committed far more crimes than they have prevented col ingersoll said we know diseases of flesh and blood are transmitted bjorn one generation to another Db eAses of the brain deformities of the soul or the tile mind mina are also transmitted I 1 am perfectly satisfied there are millions of pe people 0 ale incapable of committing certain c acnes nies and it may be true there are Did millions lions more incapable of practicing certain virtues virt nea we do not blame a man because he is not a sculptor poet painter or statesman we say eay he hag has not the genius are we e certain it does not require genius to be good coming coining down to the question of what can bo be done tor for the reformation of the criminal col ingersoll said he ile should be treated with kindness every right should be given him consistent with the safety of society he ile should neither be degraded nor robbed why should the state take without compensation the labor of criminals and why should they after having been imprisoned for years be turned out without the means of support bould it not bo be far better to pay these men for their labor lay aside their earnings put this money at interest so that when the convict is re released lemed he will have not merely enough money to pay his way back to the place ce from which lie was sent but enough ough to keep the wolf of crime from the door of his heart referring to the question what is shall ball be done with hardened or habitual ua I 1 criminals the speaker said put one thousand hardened thieves on an land wand it compel them to produce iodice what they pat eat and use and I 1 am almost certain the large majority would be opposed to thelt such a cc community m would be self supporting keep the sexes absolutely V apart those who are b beyond e ond the power of reformation reform aion S should houll dot have the liberty to repa reproduce d uce themselves th they e y should dwell apart r and dying f hould have no heirs te the d death b penalty inflicted by the government is a perpetual excuse for mobs the greatest danger in the republic is the mob and as long as the tile state antl acts the death penalty moba mobs will ill follow the example ii if we vie are to change the conduct of men we vie must change them extreme poverty and crime crime go hand band in hand tenements and flats and rented lands are in my judgment the enemies of civilization they put a few in palaces and many in prisons in closing col ingersoll said ignorance corance Ro rance filth and poverty are missionaries sion to aries of crime As long ai as dishonorable success ou honest effort as long as society bows and cringes before great thieves there will be little ones enough to fill the jails 1 tin the grippe bitin Di Allig the ali indians jan 21 the bond band of indians on st peters
