PENAL REFORM.
TO THE EDITOR Or THE PBBSS Sir,—Chas. Reade's book, "Never Too Late to Mend," and your correspondent . "Ex-99's" letter in Saturday's daily is well worth " reading and digests ing, both giving a true meaning of prison life and the living after. It has been said, "Nothing is worth having that has not been fought for," which describes the taunting person's respect for a fight. Having lost and won brings one nearer to that saying, but it is an ill day for the fighter, win or lose, when having paid the price of his misdeeds he meets the keep-down-at-any-price person; Let bygones be bygones when a man has paid the price.—Yours, etc., J.P.H. September 16th, 1929.
