AN APPEAL.
Mr- Edwin Aumold, J.P., who is not unknown to Masiterton, is one of the /strongest advocates of .prison reform tihat the Dominion possesses. For years he has been a Visiting Justice to His Majesty's Prison in Wellington, and he has been brought into contact witih criminals of every type (and character. It was - largely thronf*jh Ims efforts fclrat -.a Prisoners' Aid Society was formed in Wellington. Nbw we find him appealing to the politk'imiis of the country to make adequate provision for tlie wives and families of those who are incarcerated dn our gaols. Such an appeal must meet with response from every Christian mail and woman in the community. Mr Arnold thinks tfcat tire prisoners should be made to work i.n such a. way that provision will be made for their wives and children.. Wlhether this is, or is not practicable remains to be seen. Certain it is- that the wives and families of criminals, | estranged from society through ■ no jifiault of their own, helpless TIT-a cold jiand uncharitable world, are deserving 'icf the assistance as well as the pity ;of the people.
