_ - ORIGIN Oi"
For many centuries the quest
for the origin of evil has engaged
.the attention of scientists, tlieoiog-l
ians and reformers 'but the unfath-
omed mystery is still unplumbed. l
It was no doubt in or-der that-
some. light might be thrown upon
this mystery that the system ol`_
dominion prison stattistics was first
instituted but, so far as statistics
furnished up to date go, the result
is still far from satisfactory.
~ _According to the' prison returns
for the fiscal year just ended- tlicre
were 1463 convicts in Canadian
prisons as compared with 1094 at
the close of the previous year.'l`liis
sho-_ws a satisfactory betteriiient. lt
is.. however, when the data suppos-
edly responsible for the coiwiciioi'|
are being delved into that the orig-
in of evil again becomes elusive.
Of the 1463 .convicts .iol profess-
ed Christianity, hfty were .non
Christians and twelve had no
creed of any kind. As the religious
inain uurevealed there is no peg
here upon which to hang a theory.

The group is definitely classified
.\bsiainers 286; Temperate 745;
liitcinperatc 432. This classificat-
ion at least partially absolves the
with the intemperate, perhaps be-
cause tlie latter is incapable of car-
rying out a crime worthy of the
peiiitentiary. `
.~\.nother definite classification is
given in the conjugal state of the
convicts. The unmarried convicts
have a clear majority in the pen-
nitentiariesi their number being 892
while the comparative innocence of
the married state is indicated by
the fact that only 504 married men
were jailed during the year. This
latter fact may be attributable
rather to the home training receiv-
ed by the married ment than to any
inherent virtue. ln any case 'the
long sought foi'___origin still reniaiiis
in the trackless void.
