WEST'S POLICY In the "Interesting I'eojile" depart ment of the January American Maga zine appears an article about Gov ernor Oswald Went of Oregon, who ilkeH to truKt men. He let a life-term murderer out of prison long enough to earn money to pay off a mortgage on his father-in-law'H home, the mon ey having 1jeen npent to hire lawyers to defend him. Following In an ox tract: "Out In Oregon there 1m a gover nor who believeH In men even though they have finned againxt aorlety and have been committed to the keeping of the penal Inxtitutlonii of the xtate. OHWald Went believes In men to such an extent that Mxty-two per cent of tho prisoners serving time In the Ore gon state penitentiary are out 'on honor,' as It Is called." A considerable number of these are earning an hon ext living outside the prison walls, en tirely Independent of any prison dis cipline or oversight. The rest are 'trusties' working for the state at oth er public institutions; or building roads without being guarded fre quently one or two hundred miles away from the prison, and often In thinly settled portions of the country where escape wou!d be comparatively easy. And yet fewer prisoners try to -et nwav under this system than la tb old days when the ruards stood by armed with repeating Winchesters. "One of Governor West's first ex periences in trusting men was to re lease temporarily a murderer serving a life sentence .simply on his word of honor, In order that 'he might earn sufficient money to pay off the in debtedness on hi father-in-law's home which had been mortgaged In order to raise money for his legal de fense. About the middle of last Jan uary the man reappeared at the pen itentiary after an absence of nearly a year. 'I'm back,' he said to the warden. 'The mortgage is paid.' "When the present executive of Ore gon cama into office the state peni tentiary had a reputation that was anything but enviable. Discipline was administered through methods that had long been outlawed In many pen al institutions. "Over one-third of the prisoners were unprovided with work of any kind. Guards with loaded rifles watched every foot of the prison property, and went with each group of prisoners that was sent outside the walls. "Governor West has changed all this. H has put every able-bodied man to work. He has removed most of the guards. Over 200 of the 4 50 men now under sentence at the Salem institution are outside the walls dally without guard of any kind, trusted to return at night and honor bound to do a fair day's work. "When they betray his trust, as oc casionally happens, he has been known to lead the posse that under took their capture. One such escap ed 'trusty whom he ran down after a hard chase, said to him as he took him into custody: 'Who are you, the sheriff?' 'No,' replied the executive, 'I'm the man to whom you lied.' " MGOKST UWVSUIT IS OX IN KXGLANI) I'urcluvo of British Telephone System by Gowrnment Kubjuct of Imdon. The National Telephone company vs. his majesty's postmaster general, the biggest claim ever brought before the British courts, has now run Into Its twelfth week and seems now where near ended. The plaintiff claims $104,623,500 for the transfer of the British telephone service to the postofflec department hut the postmaster general thinks $.50,000,000 nearer the proper figure. Documentary evidence stacked in special files erected In the court weighs two and a half tons, and 11 of England's leading lawyers are ar guing before Justice Lawrence and two king's bench commissioners. So licitor General Simon, for the post office, spoke aeryn and a half days. 1.4'gal courts. Inventories and othei expenses already have eaten up be tween three and three and a half mil lions and the total cost of the litiga tion probably will run over double this amount. Two appeals are prac tically certain, whichever side wins. Even the intoxication of love may leave one with a headache in the morning. WORK IS CHANGED O. A.
