DRESSING
I- " There were 481 inmates at the! Oregon state penitentiary
-at 3 o'clock yesterday, and there jwrjll be perhaps 530 or more
by the first of April, and thin the ifrumber will likely decrease
towards the summer season, as mischief finds less work for
jiicfle hands to do, for there will be less idle hands oil account
of greater activities in out"of doors occupations
- , - And thus the population of the prison fluctuates from
4 season to season. j
j S On the average, one man is 'dressed in" every day, and
another.man "dressed out.'' Those are the terms used at
i the prison; a man being dressed inf when he doffs the suit he
'wears to the institution for, the prison gray, and dressed out
! when! he doffs his gray habiliments of servitude and dons
.again the clothing Worn in freedom. i
vrt' ThinVof that r : j j
One man each day entering again the ranks of our citi
'zenship after having been confined behind prison bars for
Lweary months or long years,.' again to take up the tangled
1,'threads of daily existence a bettrman or a worse one
" Chastened and sobered or embittered and vengeful.
l The attitude of the normal I man who is dressed out of
lthe prison will depend largely upon the treatment he has had
iiwhile behind the frowning walls and the great majority of
those who are dressed in and dressed out are normal men,
;amenable to the influences anl (the environments of $he
average reader of these lines. Perhaps 15 per cent of them
,.are sub normal, through bad or moron birth or through faulty
training 6r vicious environmentsj-f
V . And the 85 per cent of the normal men are amenable to
' the good influences of proper treatment and training. They
may be dressed out better and
-jirhen they were dressed in-;
1 , .And the greatest conserving and reforming influence is
;-work. This is being proved in all; the' prisons of the country
. which attempt to provide worklijor their inmates arid the
'.best example of this is the 'penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn ,
t 'where all men able, to work; are given employment at a small
wage. The men thus have funds' to keep their. families to
gether on the outside and the . fray of the men is regulated
partly by the number or the needs of their innocent depend
ents on the outside, running from 50 cents a day for single
men to $2.50 a day for men wiih large families, jln a few
. cases, the prisoner who has killed his. brother man must
! allow his wages to go to the family of the dead man. Those
havfng no families accumiilate Jtneir wages : for a; nest egg
''upon released ; A ear approach jio this system is being fol
lowed in a number of other prisons in this country and
already they are either self supporting or approaching self
-support. The Stillwater prison has been self supporting
since 1905, and has a $300,000 surplus in its revolving fund.
rNot a cent has it cost the taxpayers of the state in that time.
1 Thi .Missouri r penitentiary is pelf supporting,vandi. has a
; $D,000,000 surplus. " p r j ; j 1 1 ;i ;-
f . The "Stillwater system1 is beuig followed at the ' Oregon
prison. Our revolving fund law is. copied from the Minnesota
j-. law, to the extent that our Constitutional provisions would
allow, r Governor Pierce said in iis Jackson day speech at
I" Portland Ftiday night that the j Oregon prison can be made
self supporting. It can. -t wil be, if no change is made in
, the revolving fund law. The tine when will ; depend upon
i, good management " and ti e vision of : the members of our
! ; Legislature for more machinery and appliances; will have
J to be secured.. In time, the "revolving fund can provide them,
j But faster progress towards sef support can be made with
t some 1 wiselyrapplied funds1 or credit from the state treasury
I for machinery" and appliances, -jrchich would pay from 50 to
500 per cent in savings made to jthe taxpayers, i 1
, - . Some of the men being dressed out of the Oregon prison
I now have several hundred dollars to take with ' them ; from
t-"wages in the flax industry, and others are helping to support
their families oh the outsjide It ;tsJ
j And when we shall have reached self support and a wage
i for every man, we will have attained as high a percentage of
i reformations as is the rule at, Stillwaler 85" per cent ; the

ENCOURAGEMENT
- Laws are generally made

! :. . . -... ; 'I
purpose. '
The plain citizen should
reauired morallv or ethically to
ed to do it. There are various ways in which j informational
help rnay be given officials without encouraging or partici
pating in a spy system. ' ;
Officers may require the
zens in making arrests. ,:
The official's duty is not
ly, impartially and as required by the Jaw itself, but to obey
the law; the same as private individuals are required r to
obey it. i " ' '" 1
Officers whose duty brings them counte" to the delin
quent,) the lawless' and the criminal, are subject at all times
to mojre vindictive, irrelevant and dishonestl criticism than
almost any other class of people. And this criticism coming
from these sources is difficult to combat and the better class
of citfzens should make sure of the authenticity of it before
condemning their protectors or official servants. .
There is altogether too free use of misrepresentation
directed against both officials and private citizens too much
vitrolic babble injurious to human character1 and position.
And 4hile we possess the means for removal of officials in
a legitimate way, those who kndwingly or ven carelessly
malign them should be. promptly and effectively punished.
And Ithbse who without justification spread) poison gossip
about their neighbors, should be punished &Uo.
That a man or woman, the moment he or she accepts
public office, should be subject to unfounded villification
and abuse is not only a travesty on justice but a disgrace in
popujar government. .
If those damsels who daub their faces with paint, their
lips and eyebrows with dazzling hues could see themselves
as others see them the panorama might be changed for the
better. .
RADIO DRAMA GIVES

noises and speech were synchron

nore than one way4 There were;
no complaints this time about the
touthrn station.
Beating of horses lioofs. ring

scuffle, revolver shots, heavy
breathing, hissing wind, claater
and sputter of a starting loco-
motivj are only some of the in
numerable "accessory noise" - that
go into the broadcast play to give
it intense realism' These and
music, the most highly organized
character of sound,? raise it from
dialogue to a high form of drama
with all the thrill3 and color of a
stage success.
Pacific Coast producers have
decided that 35 minutes is' the
maximum time the ear of the ra
dio operator can be kept. So with
only an hour and 45 minutes for
presentation of a three act play, a
great part of its plot must be un
folded through suggestion.
To 'test power of music to sus
tain interest and preserve contin
uity of plot, an experimental
drama was given in which the cli
max came in Act 1. Reversal of
dramatic order seemingly did not
forfeit Interest of patrons. Many

JUSTICE
The fact a deputy sheriff m Ari
zona has to exercise Over a section
larger than Chicago the entire
function of upholding the 14w
among men who draw a gun fast
and shoot faster, keeps their
marksmanship keen.
Even then, their marksmanship
doesn't always save them, arid
they sometimes cannot count for
aid on those whom they might
expect to be their backers. j
For instance, there always was
a feud between Deputy Billy DOb
son, up in Pinal county, and bid
Justice of the Peace Kroll.
Every time Dobson's Studebak
er a sheriff always drives a Stud
ebaker out here hove in sight,'
it was an offense to the justice
before whom Dobson must bring
his prisoners. The deputy was
known as a quick-firing, expert
pistol man, who could do all the
frontier tricks of accurate shoot
ing with his stubby-barreled 4$.
, Kroll was reluctant to "start
anything" with a man of Dobson's
repute and his known marksman
ship. So, one day, a stranger
showed up around town, One
Frank Nort. j
He went around with Justice
Kroll a great bit, and didn't seem
to have' anything much to do, ex
cept drink measly and villainous
whisky. Kroll was known to buy
his food. At', every opportunity
Xort managed to get into an argu
ment with Dobson. j
Nort finally began to tell around
what a bad man he was, and how
no deputy sheriff would get in his
way.
"If you mean me," Dobson told
him, "you will want to be fast j on
the trigger, or Jesus Combari, the
grave digger, will have a Job.'
That sobered Nort for a while,
but Kroll began to nag him and,
filling up on bad liquor one day,
he accosted Dobson : ! .
"Say your prayers, deputy,; If
you know how; you're going to be
talkin to the angels in a ittin
ute." f. "v i '. , - ; 1
At 40 feet, they began shooting
at each other.' Expert marksman,
as he was, Dobson fired four shots
at that range' and never touched a
hair of Nort's bead. He was job
viously trying to shoot the gun
out of the loafer's hand, but ihe
gun was in his eyes and Nort shot
him dead. . , i
