A Prison Change
Another change is impending at the prison, the third
during the administration of Governor Pierce. The tragedy
of the convict break and the consequent exposure of the lack
of discipline and inefficiency prevailing at the institution,
made the change inevitable, just its the scandal over the
liberty granted prisoners assured the dismissal of the prev
ious warden.
Failure of the prison regime can be ascribed to politics and
.the Ku Klux Klan. As long as politics and klan affiliations
are the principal requirement for position, just so long will
. incompetency prevail. Selection of employes upon political,
religious and fraternal lines, instead of experience and
qualifications could not have other result.
The Klan affiliations of the governor have done much to
'discredit his administration. His fish and game turmoil, as
well as his prison troubles are due directly to the kluxing of
these departments. The same scandal would have followed
the kluxing of the asylum and other slate institutions, as
well as highwawy work, had the efforts to "accomplish it been
successful.
Governor Pierce will probably profit by his experience, as
lie has in the fish and game affairs, and ignore the Klan in
his prison reorganization, especially as it has disintegrated in
Oregon and is no longer a political factor. It has brought
him grief enough.

cations will be rejected. , ,j
To (he Editor: Wilt you pleao
allow me space In your valuable
paper for a few lines. I see in the
newspapers nrtlcloa after articles,
cartoons after cartoons, cartooning
and picturing Oregon Jones, Mur
ray, Kelly and Willoa chilling and
cutting their way through the cell
Ing and loof nnd down over the
prison wall where Oregon Jonon
and 2 noble guards lost their lives
and the noble old time guard Luke
Savage and Janice Nesinlth was
seriously wounded and it reminds
me of John I). Ilockfeller and a
cartoonist several years ago when
Mr. KockfeJler was on the witness
stand in the defense of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of N. J. when Judge
Land Is fined the Standard Oil Co.
$13,000,000 and they never payed
it and it was a good thing they
did not why? because if they had
the consumer of their products
would have payed every dullar of
it and added several million to the
oil Co.'s bank account. When Mr.
Kockfeilcr was on the witness
fitnnd the cartoonist cartooned and
drew his picture and when Mr.
Ilockfeller came of the stand the
cartoonist showed him his picture
aa he uppeared on the stand and
J. D. wa so Impressed with the
picture that he said to the car
toonist I would give anything for
your ability as a . cartoonist. Yes
ways the cartoonist and I would
give any thing for your ability as
a financier but know this that if
the good man of the house had
known In what watch the thief
would come he would, have watch
ed and vould Tiot have suffered
hie home to be broken up and there
have given anything to had those
cartoonist to cartoon and picture
Oregon Jones, Murry, Kelly and
WIlIos chiallng and cutting "ttiejr
way through the celling and roof
and down over the wall that1' the
good man of the house would liavo
watched and not suffered his House
to be broken up and Oregon Jon en
and those two noble guards Sav
age and Nesmith might have bin
living and well today. I have read
the chalange of the exgovenor to
govenor Pierce and the warden
ajid I see no sign of bravery on the
face of the chaleng. Why? because
the ex govenor knew if they would
over take the escaped prisoners
that their deadly aim would be cen
tered on the govenor and warden
and that ho the ex govenor would
stand a good chanco to get back to
Salem with out gottlng hurt and
had it boon after night I believe
It would have ben fun to have seen
the ex govenor dodging back and
fourth at every hoot of tho owl in
the tree and it would not have
ben and sign of bravery for the
good man of the house to have
rushed in to the turn keys office
alone to combat those desperate
men without a single weapon and
I would give any thing for that
cartoonist ability as a cartoonist
that drew Mr. Rockfeller's picture
for I would cartoon and picture
the man's picture that deserted and
returned to Salem for help that he
might not get hurt to get the good
man of the house at Aumsville
with hia gun between his knees
through, Stayton and Sublimity. I
would probily Include ginn linn or
Lewis Lachmand and I would car
the capitol building to so if the
govenor and the warden was after
him and I would cartoon him as
having already fallen through the
political trap and lit In our noble
govenor lap and never more as
govenor of Ore -pass In through
those beautiful capitbl doora it ap
pears to me that it Is high twelve;
and high time for those untimely
articles and cartoons to be called
from the newspapers and stop tht
political hatred envy and atrit
towards two men that Is perform
ing duty and sewing the peopN
as wol las It la possible for any
two me nln Ore to do and should
those three recaptured prisoners
fall through the states death trap
may all who knows the worth of
prayer pray God that they may
fall in our blessed Redeemers lap
and live with him in peace and
happyness and sing God's praise
forever more over on the golden
.shore. S. B. MILLS,
Flax grower and hauler,

To the Editor: Two very enlight
ening editorials have appeared In
your columns under the dates of
Augufiot 25th and 27th; enlighten
ing In that they show to what ex
tent the editor has kept abreast of
modern psychological and crimin
ology research.
The editorial of the 25th Is rath
er amusing when one stops to look
at It carefully. You term the
writings of your rival editor as
'uplift bunk while you go on in
your endeavor to disprove him and
merely substantiate his theory
What please did you prove by the
five classifications of criminals that
you gave except identically the
same thing that the Statesman gave
In paragraphic form?
Your editorial in Thursday's pop
er shows a lack of harmony with.
modern psychology and criminal;
investigation. Such investigations
have been conducted by men who
have gone far deeper into

an accurate verdict as to the causes
and cures of crime. The. conclu
sions arrived at by these men are
not the work of some mere theor
ist who for publicity endeavors to
force his own pet theories upon the
public. On the contrary, such con
clusions are the result of years of
investigation, scientific Investiga
tion, understand, conducted separ
ately and collectively by many
men. Men ranking highest in their
line whose sole desire Is to estab
lish scientifically the cause of
crime so that it can be scientifical
ly dealt with.
It Is not 'this sort of twaddle by
well-meaning uplifters,' that 'ac
counts for the crime waves sweep-1
ing the country and the tremen-j
doua increase on crime in the j
their United States,' as you claim. The
la no doubt In my mind but that toon him dodging back and fourth science than has the layman and I aftermath of war and uncinploy-
preas is continually handing out
In detail along with the many freak
laws are all strong contributing
factors to the present crime wave.
Jn your publication of a clipping
from a Corvallis paper you advo
cate one of the best methods for
the increase oi crime the public
execution of three criminals. If the
flight of executions and tortures
served to obliterate crime, crime
would have been obliterated long
ago. The same primitive motive
of revenge that prompts the sol
dier to renewed action when he
sees his comrade killed by the ene-j
my also prompts the criminal to
seek revenge for the killing of hl.s
companion. Intimidation is effec
tive only where fear is the pre
dominating characteristic and a
convict Is by no means necessar
serve to arouse u greater hatred,
among the comrades of thoae put
to death by force, for that force.
Did the display of the body of
Jones, terrible and grewsome as It
must have been, accomplish any
good? Cortalnly not.
Modern psychological Investiga
tion has made wonderful strides
in tho field of criminology and es
tablished truth which the think
ing person of today will not sit
back and see disregarded whilo tho
vicious punishments of a lower
civilization are ut into practice.
You prate much about the per
son who will not accept tho theory
of evolution which science Itself
admits can never be proven and
yet you will not accept the proven
facts of modern psychology. Are
you logical? Tho effects of hered
ity and environment upon the in
dividual in the making of crimo
which you deny are among tho
simplest proven facts of psychol
ogy. MARY IIAZZARD UUDROW.

ILLIKEE GOLFERS GO
TO ALBANY TOMORROW
Tomorrow the Ulihee Country
club team will go to Albany

The Albany team has been

mer and with added improvement
will make It lough on their oppo
nents the rest of the year. A large

our govenor and warden would and peeking around tho corner of eo are far tho better able to give ment as well aa tho crime diet tho such an execution would only the meet.
DUMB DORA

The Cause
In exnlainihtr why publid ownership is seldom profitable,
Congressman Madden, of Illinois, told the tax conference at
Portland this week:
fiovnnimenl neenclea are not Qualified to operate any business on
of which anv profits are to bo mado. Why? More or less politics
mooilv ,nre Patron ii icq to nass out. the demands of influential
upbuilding of political prestige at public expense aro the things tha
account for most of our governmental troubles.
This i true and exnlains the inefficiency existing in
political office, as contrasted with private business. It also
accounts, in large manner, tor tne progressive mueaw
taxes and the failure to secure tax reduction.
"Patronage to pass out, the demands of influential friends
to satisfy and the continual upbuilding of politicul prestige
at miblic expense" is one of the whys and wherefors of
taxation and its steady growth as the fields for public
expenditure expand.
