A NEW PENITENTIARY t . -,. t - :v . : teortiana Teiegram,) -4 ,-f": - ; "As. public attention i; focused pon .b9 state penitentiary at Salem, the eondltipna thereare found to een' worse than was at itfirst suspected - Laying asi4e for the' moment all questions of Prtson - management and discipline, the building and equipment are shown to be woefully inadequate;;. " ' rA .,.---,!-'; - .. 'The main building was completed ;in 1871, fifty-four years ago. "lli internal architecture is a surTira of almost unattractive period, and its internal arrangements are almost medieval in comparison; with ,; modern prison "standards. A building never 4well adapted to; its! pur- 'pose, it Is now worn out.. We hear of woodwork; that crumbles tinder " the hand. The fire haiafd Js such thatj one shudders to think of the result of a real conflagration in that -dilapidated and crowded build 'jng whose inmates muet depend upon, wooden stairs for.fireescapes. V 'The arrangement of the interior such thaJt jis impossible to segregate the prisoners; rThe youthful offender, sent up as the result of some hasty and Imputoivect. beeomjfts immediately an apt student in the Univewity of Crime which the' Btate supports at the Salem penitentiary. THe hears exaggerated tales of the criminal exploits of ' old hands at the game, and blorious reputation as ja hard-boiled yegg, "..ew buildings should be so planiied, that this school of criminal ity, jam be broken up. There should M room and equipment soj that every man may be kept at work, not simply listlessly employed at r some time killing occupation, but actually at work; hard and intereat- lne enough to leave no time and opportunity for mischief. ! "There have been several attempts to secure from the Legislature an' appropriation for a new penitentiary. Economy is- one thing; " blind, unreasoning parsimony is another. The taxpayers are J now ' awaking to the fact that the truest, wisest economy lies in the erection bf aleauate buildings in which to house the Oregon penitentiary. In such 'building,' many present difficulties of administration would certain types of shallow emotionalists he should not be held accountable. - To the casual reader the message expresses ridicule"or condemnation of the American government and her institu tions under which we live. If, as the message indicates, Jones was a victim 1 of the system of government under which he lived then it follows from the message that this government forces youth and young men free to go where they please, worK where they will, and at wages which they themselves set, to assault, rob, and even murder. It means that jthey are forced into anarchy. : .. The message signed R. R. Graves amounted to danger ous, propaganda. It suggested the Russian red without fur ther explanation. Such statements encourage suspicion, hatred and defiance toward government. , . i : If the "sympathy writer desires to offer "constructive criticism for the betterment of this government he has unlimited opportunity and the right to do so. But he should be required to make clear his reference to a "system which claims Oregon Jones a victim, under the Stars and Stripes. Ci Newsiirit Brief Stay ton disappear." l,i I The above-from the Portland Telegram of last evening is V:' K But the lack ' is Some elections I a?-" The United States shipping board has sold a number of vessels -left over from the Wor war to Henry Ford. No doubt criticism will be heard of their having been sold at a price which means a loss to Uncle Samuel. "r7 It stiouldfbe borne in mind, however, that these vessels ha v6 been for some time deteriorating in value and that the expense of keeping them in repair is growing rapidly. . The sale means less drain on the public treasury and in the hands of the present owner an advantage to industry. f,miUS BANG'S LOVE Adele Carriaon's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE lopyrght by Newspaper Feature Service; CHAPTER F88 very good.

"'a ' ? a. 1 latest Dreax news got cold, tney mignt do 50 again 1 But the Legislature is chargeable with some; neglect; the present, and preceding ones v J- f ' Warden Dalrymple asked the present i winter for $19,000 for. fire .fighting aparatus. This should have been provided. It 'would ihave included a sprinkler ' system. ; 4". l ' ' I ' I He asked for lS.OOO'forf itnprovenierjts. This would .have enabled the construction of an of f ice building outside the wall, in which the arsenal $ould have been placed. Also, I a' new guard post in the f ront. And a new garage. These are .. .all very necessary. The of f ice and the arsenal, ought boih to ; be' on the outside of the wall; should never iave been in the .'main. prison building.' -jvji -': """ kC.;':. i:!:-"; i : And the wall should be mafie: more secure, lit should be . L higher, perhaps. And there should be either a wall or a high 4 fence clear around the flax, warehouse, and perhaps the flax i stacks too. 'h ' ' " , ' 1 - li built ; or at east 5 , ; , In one way, a new penitentiary is being the Industrial" part of it. The shops are all, new now, since the fire,. including the scutching mill and all the other oper ations ;of machinery, outside of,; the. brick warehouse, which Is klso new. The plan is to do all jthe work inside the present wall, excepting the retting and drying 01 the flax. .1'.. A new building for tailor shop and shoe' shop is planned. This will reduce the fire risk; of the mam building, very materially. The water wheel and dynamo and electric light ing; and power systems are new; they are saving something like $1000 a month. . 11 ' If there is no turning back', with the flax plant !and other industrial operations, the time will hot be' very far away when there will be employment for evey prisoner; and a wage for every one allowing a, system like, that at Stillwater, Minn., which is the best prison system in the world. j - :r Yes; we need a. new penitentiary. But, with some im provements, the institution might get along very well With the plant it has. And that is the only plant we are sure of. Th "Evidence" the Officer Showed Madge and Katherine A wall from Mamie greeted the young State trooper's statement that, her father and mother were in the "hoose gow," and 'that he had frightened the children into obedience with his revolver. "Oh, let me go to the children!" she pleaded, and I spoke quickly. "What harm can she do? And the children must need her ter ribly." : - ' y ' , "She can upset the evidence." the young trooper replied amaz ingly, "if she's as strong and as quick as her mother. But come along" he pulled the girl toward the house "and remember that if you try any monkey business, I shoot." ! "Oh, I won't do anything!" Mamie sobbed. "Just let me go to the children.". "Better come along,' the young officer flung back superfluously at Katherine and me, for we were close behind him, "and see what we found in the house here when we came in a little while ago." He flung open the door to the dilapidated old house, and we saw before us a dingy kitchen whose furnishings were a stove, a table and two broken chairs, i But on t,he stove was a queer copper con trivance from which liquid was dripping, and on the floor stood two washtubs with a brownish, muddy liquid, covered with white flecks. "Dot vere my tub go,rt Katie's voice sounded behind us, and the officer whirled to face her. "What's this? he said. "Another one? What d'ye mean, your tub, and who are you?" .5-.. SYMPATHIZER SHOULD EXPLAIN '.VfcMT '" 5-- --Uv.i-s !i i I On the casket of .Oregon Jones lying n the mortuary ; was placed a floral piece consisting of a generous buricjh of V dahlias.' On a card attached to the of fenng, afterward giv P. iene;al circiiUtioh through, the press, were these written WQ With! Sincere Sympathy to Ye i Brave and Koble-Victim of the System." R R: Graves, j 4 i Whether this message to a notorious convict whose dead body thefrarr object of most .extreme, morbid- curiosity I was a message of sincere sympathy; fpr.an individual sacrificed to crime And strife or whether it was an expression of ridicule of . and -opposition , to the existmsr order of government is " , If therriter tried to express general sympathy for weak and misguided wrongdoers' generally his, words are very mis leading. If he sympathized . v with Jones as an individual driven to crime - by social or economic circumstances! his sympathy was misplaced since thousands of other men have been. .born, 'reared and lived to his age in Oregon and; who have been and are honest, productive citizens with homes of their own founding and real assets of the state. ;. 4 - If this sympathizer made his offering as a result of maudUn sympathy so obviously expressed over' criminab by an effort at nonchalance. "But you can't blame me for being shy of these dames. The woman I found here wit hthis still was as quick as a cat. She had one tub partly upset by the ' time I got through the door.' The girl. Mamie, looked around the kitchen wildly. "Where's the children?" she quaveringly. ' . "In here." " ' As he threw open the door to another room as bare as the first, we saw six forlorn little children, like the steps of stairs in height, the eldest, a boy of perhaps ten years, the youngest, a baby of but a few months, held in the arms of a little girl of eight. All were seated in a row on a wooden bench, with their feet dangling and their little faces were streaked with tears. ''Oh." said Katherine pitifully, going over to the group. "How cramped this child must be hold ing this baby." w .The young officer looked un comfortable. That he was natural ly a kindhearted boy was patient, but he was so impressed indeed obsessed, with the importance ind dignity of his assignment that he had lost all sense of proportion. - "If you'll -be responsible,, Jot them. Ma'am." he said uneasily. "I'll be glad to let them down and moTe around the house. There's nothing they can do here. Ve searched every room before' my buddy took the man and woman to the village. "Funny thing about this." he exclaimed. "We never exnected to find a still here. We were hunt ing for something else in here, which we didn't find and stumbled upon this." - Katherine and I exchanged significant; glances. Was there something after all In Junior's prattle about a man getting out of a window? ? (TO BE CONTINUED) Special meetings were begun at the local Methodist . Episcopal church' Sunday evening which will continue nightly throughout the week. j -Mrs. II. A. Beauchamp was a charming hostess at her home one day last week when she enter tained the members ' of the Re bekah club. Mr. and Mrs. E.

Katie put her arms akimbo, and faced , the young fellow unabashed.. . I mean dot s my. tub, - you foony boonch of eoup greens," she began truculently, but with a swift movement I thrust her be-' hind me, whispering an imperative command for silence, and faced the the young officer who had bristled like an Insulted tomcat at Katie's Impertinence. "She is my housekeeper Offic er," I said jquickly. '"and she means that the people here came over to borrow one of our tubs this morning saying they had an extra washing to do " s , "Vashing!" snorted the Irre pressible Katie.

"But you must apologize to the officer for what you said just now." - ' "Vy, vot I say?" - Katie , de manded with just a little too ob vious innocence, and she looked the young officer straight in the eyes. "I no remember say notlngs. Eef you tell me rot 1 say dot's bad, I say I'm sorry all over dot.' The young -State trooper swal lowed his offended dignity. There was nothing' else to be done in the face of Katie's apparent guileless- ness. . ; .. "-..i .' ' A Significant Fact. ' - "If she's "your ' housekeeper, ila'am.
