H Bliake, president, | said the reforms he and his confreres ! wish to éff=ct include a scheme for sepâ€" arating all prisoners awnaiting trial for icherges which hauve not been proved against theimn in the preliminary rixx\~estigation from the buardened and â€"wellâ€"«knuown criminals. _ Many of these men may be innocent, byt under the presen system they forever carry the taint of their surroundings. One of the greatest evils of modern times, Mr. Blake said, wus the daily newspaper, with its vile details of every brutal crime as instruction for beginners. _ Journalists tell the public how to poisâ€" on folk and how to cover up ecrime; they have taught young women how to _comuit infanticide without discovery, the public trial, too, was as bad. Noâ€" \thing was so disgusting to him as to have to sit in court waiting for another case while a criminal trial was in progâ€" ress. _ The court room is‘crowded with bovs and girls, and men and women ; the nudging, the ripples of laughter, as the beastly, abominable details weéfe elicited was horribletocontemplate,. The incentive to crime supplied by tha newspapers and the courts was inestimâ€" abie. In the majority of cases the criininal was made before he was twenuty. Prevention was better than cure. Boys arrested for treaking a glass, etc., should be denlt with in n fatherly way. They should not be thrown in with a lot of criminals to be forever contaminated. _A reformatory for druokards should be provided : the present $2 or thirty days‘ system was a cruel farce, Poverty was not a crime, . and not a single man should be in jail. because he is insane o# destitute Puorâ€" houses with work for everyone should be insisted on. The Penetanguishense Reformatory needed reforming; it must be placed on a better and truer basis. The refuge for young girls should be altogether separated from the woman‘s reformatory. It was unfsir to place the two in counection with one another.
