I have la-en studying prison etatisllc,
nd I find the avernue pniirton la HO
women to l.laai men. Ill thn case of th
Coliiuilma ,t t penitentiary there ara only
women to nearly J.imnj men. At th
Wulein B-u!teiitiary In thl slate thrre
am Itf women to over I.uimi men. Talking
with thn oiurtentia warden of Ihla latter
institution a few dny alnee, I ake.t him
for hi theory and got It with readiness.
It wa with a mind mad up that be aa
a were. I. "It la largely owing to the lenien
cy of the court that mora women ar not
convicted."
"Hut," said I, "peopla must b ar
ralgned la-fom Ihey ran 1st convicted, and
there are promn Innately ao few women
brJUlit lit trial. Kit her Ihey do Dot Vio
late the law, or they are more clever In cov
ering up their track, and thUwith a clev

thl last l true ib-a them not atill remain
something lo la aaid for them from a
worldly point of view The spartan
taught their youth the sin wa not in
aleallng, but ill la-lug found out, you
know." And the warden aume.1 that the
hpartaiia wem not all dead yet, or at least
that their t.-rn hllin had lived after them,
but would concede nothing to women on
the ground nf morality.
Women am something of a laither to
most men, but to wardens In particular, I
bate com Iinled, nud having known them
both w Isely and well I aupisssg w hen one
urh ruatiMlian Insist that women of a
luw grade am worse than men of the same
grade we should accept his judgment
without niii-stlon. Hut what 1 want to find
out is why I hem am not a many women
a men of this same grade Warden
Wrluht gis-e further and la esarially pad
tlve that women in general are tint better
than men, and thai once Itnd they am mora
Incorrigible, and Itl hla experience that
there ara hot aoinany reformation among
women rouvicta a among the men, by
which we may Infer that women love
wnaTwdnliig.
Out of the flllln.-s.of hi knowledge Mr.
Wriuhl art; iu- that by the time women
land III the penitentiary Ihey am so steeped
In sin na in la-ipiite past redemption hem,
and I uot the Impmssiou be had not, much
hot, of them hen-after.
Hut let us wa alsiut the Inlipilty of wo
men. In the first place, them am more
women than men in thn world. Then-tore
if women am mum immoral than men
ought they not toouiunit at least au equal
numls-r nf crimes?
Hut they have not equal opportunity.
Tlu-y am not in th world a men am,
tin mfnm are not so lawt l.y temptation,
la Ihe n-ply. Hut we may deny this, since
there are now over Jon occupation for
women and all crowded until there 1
scarcely any rami, even at the top, where
as in Is.'iU there wem hut HI employment
in which women earned a living.
They am now by the hinuln-da working
shoulder to shoulder w ith men in all the
pmfosaiotm and a majority of the train.
And am they not subjected to Ihe same
temptation It la nowqiiite the exception
