- When committees are appoint
ed to inspect the .', state prison.
when men of influence' iit the
prison, and when anybody not fa
miliar to the conrlcta appear in
side the premises, the prisoners,
naturally anxious to create a good
impression, arouse sympathy and
possibly pare the way to a pardon
or more lenient rules, behare so
well that their conduct would be
fitting, in the most; exacting, sur
roundings. -
About 600 men are confined and
of these there are 40 who, accord
Ing to those in control, are as des
perate as the escaped men. " Thus
the guards are In the position of
men handling high explosives, in
constant danger of an, explosion.
The psycological effect of confin
ing men ia to mak;e their ; wlta
sharper and their acts more' cun
ning as their only thought are
of release or escape. -
There are the ' usual forms of
punishment to undergo for Infrac
tion of rules' and then there are
men who, by their good beharior
and proper conduct, hare . been
niade "trusties" after sufficient
lime has elapsed to get a reason
able knowledge of their character.

"Trusties' should be confined sep

they desire to act right and give
no trouble.
. A man's crime does not decide
his character. A murderer may
have ' no criminal instincts. He
may nave lost nis temper in a
fight over his sweetheart; whereas
a thief .may plan always to get
something for nothing regardless
of the inconvenience and suffer
ing he may cause Innocent persons.
Second degree murderers seem to
make the best behaved convicts.

is so far behind the times In every
thing that the . legislature is to
blame. : It Is probably only a ques

fluence, has been advocated ' by
Warden Dalrymple and other war
dens who preceded him.
The guards are paid only $90 a
month and that Is hardly sufficient
to attract: many able-bodied, re
liable men, especially as the .state
pays no pensions to their families
if guards ; are killed r or injured
while 1 on .duty. - While the war
den's salary. Is small it Is greater
than that of subordinates and
therefore any guard might be am
bitious to succeed the warden if
trouble should arise and the. war
den be forced to resign. ' That Is
inside politics. A promise to des
perate convicts might easily start
trouble of this nature.
In the present", administration
such politics have been suspected
by the warden, whose long exper
ience j in . the commissary depart
ment under other administrations
interest overlooked by those prone
to critise. The parole officer, and
the guard on No. 7 tower have' re
signed. Tom White has not yet
explained his attitude in the mat
ter to "the writer's knowledge and
the guard on No. 2 tower, said
to have deserted his post, might
clear up some matters. Let it be
hoped that the truth will. come
out and the guards which behaved
well will, not be blamed tor any
who acted otherwise in the great
est outrage in the history of the
Oregon penitentiary.
