Or, Sept. 10. (FpeclaLV On of th cleareat proofs of the lack of lasting merit in Governor 'Wesfa loudlr proclaimed policy of leniency to state convicts Is tho fact that seven of 14 escaped prisoners have skipped Inre September 15. Thoso conversant with tb situation, which la trrowlnc worse, rather than better, by placlnc the state's criminal class on their -honor." declara that the executive's prison policy la sadly exploded, even during; lta experimental stage, by a simple comparison of results between tills year and last. Although this policy has been flaunted by the executive office from the first as one of the surest and at the same time the most humane modes of keeping criminals at the peniten tiary until their time Is served, or until they are relieved by the authori ties and allowed to leave. It la evident that Governor West has overstepped the mark and that his own pet con victs, whom he haa allowed fullest lee way, have turned upon him and by their own acts have disproved bis theories. Kiev a Flee la ISIS. As a simple matter of arithmetic In 11 11 convicts escaped. In 1911. with three months to go on. the very three months when prisoners are ex pected to take chances at a "getaway. 1J convicts have escaped and two other have violated their parole: this In fare of the fact that th adminis tration has stated that only a few have gone and that but three are still st large. As a matter of fact there are six convicts still at large outside of those who are In Jail or In other peni tentiaries for other offenses. One of Governor West's "honor men" In whom Implicit confidence was placed Is in the Walla Walla Penitentiary. No one, knows where the other six are. Hera is the record in blsck and white: C. F. Burnham. trusty, doing three years' time tram Washington County for larceny from a dwelling, escaped Slav -5; recaptured. Leon White, honor man. doing five years from Multnomah County for for gery. Fcaped June 12. Now In the Walla Walla Penitentiary doing from one to IS years for a similar crime. K.vcaped from the tubercular sani tarium. Jesse Hall, honor man. doing SO years from Multnomah County for as sault and robbery. Kscaped from the Mate Institute for the Feeble-Minded June 11 Recaptured. Oeorae Orlfflth. honor man. doing one and one-half years from Multno mah County for larceny from a dwell ing. Escaped July 11 from the asylum farm. Still at large. Few Are Recaptured. Bert Low. paroled man. doing fonr yi-ara for assault with a dangerous weapon. Paroled July J a. Violated bis parole and recaptured in Tacoma. tieorge Thompson. trusty parole, doing one year from Wasco County for obtaining money under false pretenses. Paroled August .

Kscaped Septem ber 22. Still at large. Frank Walton, honor man. doing three years from Morrow County for larceny. Kscaped September II. Re- caplureX Harry Beard, trusty, serving Inde terminate sentence from Lane County for larceny hv bailee. Kscaped Sep tember SO. fill! at large. Walter Wylan. trusty, serving two and one-half years from Baker County for larceny of horses. Kscaped Sep tember St. Still at Urge. It will be noticed that of th 14 listed above, six of those who escaped are honor men. Blind te Pablle Aeea. Governor West has Instituted. In his own shrewd political way. a new regime at the prison along with his new policy. which Is Intended to blindfold the public at large to Just what Is going on at th prison. For Instance he has Instituted Ore different classes of prisoners. These are honor men. trusties, paroled trusties, con ditional pardon men and paroled men. Heretofore In giving out news of escapes the executive offices have stated that "two escaped." "on escaped" or any convenient number, meaning any on of th five classes snd so couching the language as to Indicate that the number meant th enure number of escapes from the prison. This Is well Illustrated in the an nouncement that only three of the escaped men are still at large, mean ing of course only three of a certain class when the Inference Is drawn that ontv three have so fsr mad good la escaping from the prison this year. As a matter of fact more men have escaped during nine months In 1511 than escaped In IS months In Did. At the sam time Governor West openly announces that the guard system Is a failure and that his plan will keep more convicts at th prison. Th figures seem to belle this statement and as a general rule figures are to be reckoned with efttlmes. Caavtets Pt-. Her. Governor West has failed to pleas a. large number of people In another move be mad when be sent to con victs into the Jo Bakmgartnr hop yard to pick hops thle year. Arrange ments were mad to have th entire crop- picked by convict. When th usual picker arrived for Jobs th Jobs were not there and th pickers were politely Informed that convicts would do the entire work. A a result on widow, with four children, who has been accustomed to am enooal money with her family to send her children to school, was bereft of work at the yard. Other cases of a similar natur might be cited. 4 7 r tl SSI I ' T,.-t V" r- - " ' " - e.S. ; ifi we, "jj a fV.-tai.-- I v 1 - ft a- f ' . .. u i - .- i . -? . t sum?
