Secretary McSherry Visits
Penal Institutions,
) Notes Methods
Irl S. McSherry. pecretary to
Got. A. W. Norblad. has Just
returned to Salem from a trip
Into California where he visited
Kolsom penitentiay, one of Cali
fornia's two state prisons, where
he espefially studied the parole
nd pardon system used in Cali
fornia. "FolRom penitentiary," said
Mr. McSherry, "is for second
termers and more, and there are
n. 22.000 prisoners within the walls
whtfb Inclose 4 2 acres. There are
two walls, one within the other.
Between the first and second
nails are the residences of the
guards. 130 in all. Only the mar
ried ones live here and there are
about 50 children srowinf? up in
this first 'line of defense." The
single guards live within the sec
ond wall.
"About 1000 of the prisoners
are "making little ones out of
bij? ones." or in other words are
working on the rock pile. About
600 are employed just now In
building a campletely modern,
fireproof cell block of five tiers
of cells. The others are employ
ed in the kitchen, dining rooms
and gardens.
"Solitary confinement in Fol
liom means bread and water for
a period of days, then one full
meal, then bread and water
again. Only those who have in
fringed on some law of the pen
itentiary are required to wear
utrlpes; others wear a plain col
ored prison uniform. Neither do
the prisoners have to have shav
ed heads. Food in Folsoni Is ex
cellent. "There Is a 2.000 acre farm in
connefMon with the prison but
the soil is such that it cannot be
made to produce. Some poultry
1' raised and that is about the
exent of agricultural or farm de
velopment." Jnriis of Parole
ami Pardon Hoard
Conferences were hM by Mr.
McSherry with Gov. C. Young
of California, with the executive
recretary of the governor, and
with Court Smith, warden of
Kolsom penitentiary.
These conferences brought out
the fact that in California there
ere two distinct boards, one for
pardon and one for parole, in
handling prisoners. The court
sentence is indeterminate, the
real sentence being set" by the
parole board after one year lias
been served by the prisoner and
the record of his case has been
carefully examined. The gover-1
nor's office has nothing to do
with the work of the parole
board, thus the expecutive de
partment is relieved of much ad
ditional work".
The parole board has seven
members to serve for 12 years.
It meets each week-end three
times at San Quentin where the
secretary of the board has an of
fice and ouce at Folsoni peniten
ti?ry. Ln addition to the parole board
there ts an advisory board of
perdons upon whic'i serve the
lieutenant governor, attorney
general, director of department
of penology ami two wardens.

verbial 99 44-100 per cent of people read the comics.
They follow Polly and Neewah; they romp with
Mickey; Mouse; Tillie and Mac are daily visitors in
their hearts. Toots and Casper recite their troubles to
& host of friends while Annie Rooney struggles
through the painful process of growing up.
We can t bother you with a philosophy on comics.
BuF seriously, don't you enjoy them because they are
takeoffs on life; because they show humor lurking be
hind many a drab scene; because they relieve the ten
fcicri of this busy, work-aday world?
f Gentle reader, we don't Kegrudge you your daily;
vi9it with' the comic characters. They are as refreshing
a tonic, as pleasant as a brisk shower, as stimulat
ing as a check from home.
On with Toots, and Casper, and Polly and Little
Orphan Annie . . . with Mickey Mouse doing his stuff,
