rruntinff There Are Better
Reasons in the Other Cases
Than There Are in Mrs. Pope’s
The power to pardon, parole or com
mute the sentence of nn inmate of a
prifton waa placed in the governor of
meet, NOT to CHEAT the ends of jus
tice.
Clemency by the chief executive is jus
* MSad. of conrne upon n show 112 that .ii,
nan in prison is innocent of the crime
for which he is paying penalty,
-Clemency by the chief executive i? jus
tified by a showing that a in an n prDvn
is broken in health to a point that fur
ther confinement would prove fatal
Clemency by the chief executive ; jus
tified, we would say, when complete refor
mation has been, effected and those who
arc innocent would suffer most from the
man’s continued incarceration.
Gov. Ferris is about to leave office with
a record of having released more m n
from prison than any of hi.s pretit*. >-s>,»r s.
‘He punched pardons, j»aroles and com
mutations of sentence Thursday, to the
number of 39, bringing the total for hi>
administration to 433 and passing the
record set by Hazen S. Pingrce, of 352.
This is the age of advanced penology
which is all right.
We are for it.
It does not call sos freedom for a con
vict before he has Served the term of
his sentence.
The governor may indorse it, too, but
we do not understand that clemency is
extended in any of these cases in the
spirit of co-operation with the new sys
tem, or with the idea of contributing to
ward the discipline of any prison.
Unless the governor has advised with,
worked in sympathy with and gained
the approval of those of our prison offi
cials who look upon their responsibility |
as that of making over men and fitting
them for usefulness, we would say that
he has done this advanced penology
more harm than good.
Gov. Ferris dismisses the subject of
his wholesale releases with a statement
to the effect that he knows the facta con
nected with his acts of clemency and his
critics do not.
By going no further than that, he im
nUea that his critics are not entitled to
the facts, either.
It happens, however, that the facts in
the case of Mrs. Nellie Pope, whom the
governor has let out of the house of cor
rection are as well known here in De
troit, where her horrible crime was
committed, as they are to the governor.
Mrs. Pope conspired with her lover
•gainst the life of her husband.
She enticed her husband to her side,
and when his back was turned, at a sig
nal from her, the lover rained blow after
blow with an axe upon her husband’s
head, battering it to a pulp.
She called her daughter to help her
remove from the bk>od-spatted walls
* and floors the evideuce of the crime.
The lover, unquestionably the weaker
of the two and the dupe of this woman,
die&in prison, paying the penalty in full
for his part in the foul killing.
The motive was Pope's life insurance,
aome $16,000.
In prison Mrs. Pope was far from a
model prisoner.
Superintendent Jacobs says she h*d n >
respect for prison rules, was m*-an and
•urly and constantly making trouble
among the other inmates.
The ends of justice, the security of
•ociety and the deterrent force of the
maximum penalty for this woman’s
crime would have been served better had
Gov. Ferris left her in prison.
, The woman was taken to ti e Salvation
Army Rescue home, tiecoming an object
of charity the minute she left the prison.
In the other cases of clemency ex
tended by the governor there may have
boon better reason than there wa« in the
Case of Mrs. Pope.
At any rate we hop*' so!
She has been let go against ih«» wishes
Os her daughter and against the advice
of her phyaic4an and in oposition to the
judgment of Alan H. Frazer, who prose
cuted her.
** the governor’s good offices were,

Iron in the Soul
BY DR FRANK CR*Ntf
(Cop> right, 1915, by Frank Cruna)
\ ou need iron in your soul.
Ju>t as you need iron in your body. v
\ml the Rest form in which to get iron
is not any kind of iron tonic, pills, or
incttirr , hut such combination* of iron
us occur m rmtunil foods.
So you do not need any Spartan cult,
iny artificial ttuiing Up, Under the spell
>f some fad hut daily iron that comes
from right living.
What I mean by iron is that hardness
>f will, that rigidity of punxtse, that lirm
oil mastery, which makes life strong
ind positive and edicicnt.
To he nn re sjH'ciflc, what you need ia
i nn»re virile will.
That means t** have yourself so in hand
h. t when your judgment says “1 must,**
vou obey gladly, without struggle ur
friction.
Mo*t of our unliappines.s comes from
rd ness of w’l. rhe will is clogged by
S ores. It moves laggardly, creakily, if
At #l9
w < 'ii jt "t to operate a> tensely
and promptly as a steel spring.
What lot "f pain and fancy misery
a ( Tin just because we cannot move
sw : f > t a- ‘ne thing we ought —and
enjoy it!
Men. w men, and children are w-tiining,
pulir . rnd lining, v rithing, all U-eaiue
fh* y have developed strong desires and
no will to handle them.
How can K get iron into my soul**
bbxxi ?
o
The fir-* thing to do is to realize that
the better and more permanent satisfac
tions «> f life are those we get by overrom
n not those we get by yielding.
Man ! essentially h master Tne ego
is wretched when it is not dominant.
V* 1 the hr-t of .dl to dominate is one’s
-elf .
h T in. -terv is not the secret of
never on! . , but a!s«* of joy.
Tiv happy, cheerful, contentini per
son is not the one that everlastingly
| ‘has -tra.vU rries, sugar and cream, and
its *>fi a cushion hind sewn a tine seam.**
No one fv* r got to heaven nor into a
heavenly stat* of mind (permanently) by
self-indulgence.
Ih-ci|:in* is ti»' father of happiness.
Right on the hee’ of self-pampering
follow the seven devils of perversion,
with th*’ir seven whips of pain, and
their neven poisoned prods of self-con
tempt.
Then, having realized the need of self
'll., story, you must practice it.
Aral do not take it up as an exercise
mart from your life, lik*- dumb Ik*lls, but
;>ut it into your daily program. Plan to
:>e daily at something that calls for co
ercing self.
Do regularly omething hard. William
lames used to sav we ought to do every
lay two or three things we particularly
Ijsliked— just for practice.
, * r! ■ rk in play,
n eating, and drinking, in music,, in art.
dijke up your mind what you OITiHT to
ik' and dr.j yourself into liking it. Oth-
Twi.se it’s downstream for you.
Change your deaires. Do not forever
x led by the* none by your cravings.
Re-enthrone your intelligence, and put
j he sceptre of will in its hand.
Why?
So that you can be happy. It’s the
! »nly way.
i he pits of wretchedness, world-weari
and boredom are full of the slack
ts and weaklings. The drunkards, dope
victims s ( .x |M*rvert>, loafers, and all the
nnumerable company of the lost, are
hey that have n o iron in the soul.
