LOUIS HILL GUEST
OF ROSE CARNIVAL
PORTLAND, Ore., Juno 11.
BeurjiiK 00 delegates to the Northwest
development congress recently held
in tSeattle, (he Minnesota special ar
rived in Portland. In the party was
Louis J. Hill, chairman of the exe
cutive board of the Great Northern
railroad. The parly was entertain"d

EK
THE SAN QUENTIN REVOLT.
U'TrVHE quality of food served the prisoners has nothing
to do with the outbreak. Tho real oauso is tho' abla
tion that hag boon going on for prison reform, Governor
West of Oregon being one of
He is largely responsible for
the prisons, oast and west. As a result it will now no
necessary to make discipline a little stronger all along the
line. The man who was killed Sunday was a graduate of
Governor West's college at Salem."
This is Warden lloyle's explanation of tho San Quontin
penitentiary bread riot in which one convict was killed and
two others wounded.
There were riots at San Quontin, much more virulent,
with many more fatalities long before Oswald West was
heard of.
When barbaric methods, untemporod bv cither mercv.
justice or decency, ruled the
violence than there is today
the wreck of many victims ol a hrst talse step.
Capital punishment for petty larcoucy did not decrease
crime in England. Neither does inhuman treatment of
helpless prisoners increase order in penitentiaries.
Penitentiaries are filled with the victims of society as
at present organized a motley mixture of the unfortu
nate, the weak, the debased, the degenerate and the insane.
It is impossible to place all upon an equal plane for equal
treatment, therefore Governor West lias established the
merit system, whereby a prisoner may by his conduct work
out his own salvation.
It is a favorite saying of Governor West that there
are, roughly speaking three classes of prisoners in every
penitentiary, the degenerates, who are hopeless, the crimi
nals from choice, who are no sooner out than they are again
in, and the weak and unfortunate, victims of drink, or of
some youthful indese-rotiou, not vicious or criminal by na
ture. Tt is this latter class only that it is possible to aid
by helping them to help themselves.
There have been many reforms introduced at San
Quontin in recent veal's, but the progress of reform has
been so snail-like that there is naturally unrest on the
part of the victims. Conditions at the prison are far from
ideal, in sanitary and bygone,- far behind those at tho Ore-
i "mil rtt'isnii.
, j.. ....
There are twice as many prisoners at San Quontin
as there should be. Five men are crowded into a single
small cell, with only a narrow slit, about two by ten inches,
in size for light. Ventilation is extremely poor. Condi
tions are most favorable for creating criminals and degen
erates out of weak youths. When the new buildings now
in progress of construction, are completed, these defects
will' be remedied to sonic extent, but the'population grows
faster than the capacity of the instiution.
The prisoners still wear the striped uniform. Most,
of them are employed in the jute mill, making gunny-sacks.
The dust from the juto fills the air and makes many a con
sumptive. The occupation does not fit them for 'making
a living outside the prison. All classes are horded to
gether. All are served the same plain food and there is
no reward for good behavior by better food, as there is in
Oregon. .Reform is seen in the gradual extension of fac
tories to make furniture, clothes and supplies for state in
stitutions and those prisoners thus employed, besides
learning a trade useful after release, by being given con
genial occupation are kept more contented.
Some of the prisoners in every prison arc deserving of
assistance. The vast majority are not. It is the problem
of prison management to divide the sheep from the goats,
to give those worth while a chance, to provide sanitary
conditions, and healthy employment that will not con
flict with free labor, and road building seems the logical
occupation.
Because a prisoner has been parollpd does not mean
that he has reformed. It simply means that his minimum
sentence has expired and that good behavior entitled him
to discharge.
'Prisoners are not different from tho rest of human
it', and will similarly respond to treatment. Gratitude
with them as with others is largely an expectation of fu
ture favors.
A revolt does not imply the failure of humanitarian
methods any more than the Tracy escapade implied the
success of barbarism. The luind that guards a state prison;
with its conglomerate population, must ever be, a strong
one with the mailed fist under the glove of gentleness.
THE IRRIGATION MEETING.
TT is vital to the future growth and development of the
A Rogue river valley that every effort be put forth to
bring water to all of the land.
At the Medford Theater tonight there will be a mass
meeting to discuss irrigation and hear tho proposals of the
Rogue River Canal Co., which offers to invest a couple of
million dollars in the extension of its water system to
cover the valley as far north as Talent.
A little appreciation of its efforts, a little co-operation
on the part of the land owners and people generally will
secure this needed extension. How to do it will be set
forth tonight.
Construction work will offer temporary employment
to'a large number of people who need it at this time. The
completed canals will double the product of the land and
make the five-acre tract support a family, besides provid
ing crop insurance for the orchardist and farmer.
Irrigation is the all important thing before the valley.
Help secure it.
COMMUNICATION.
To tlio Hdlter: j
Replying to Mr. 1). Ji. Ilcnmo's ln-j
qulrieB In today's Mall Tribune.
Tlio national luw of Interest has
boon as fully established as tho law
pf conservation of energy or cliomlcal
affinity. Usury results from defects
lnnato In a commodity standard of
valuo. But usury would disappear
by tho law of atrophy under eelon-
tho loaders tn tho movement.
the unrest Unit is soothing in
prison, there was greater
and the prison completed;
tlflc: money. 'Jlto HuperabunUanco of
bonds Interchangeable with money
would crcato an unlimited demand
for tho currant rato of Interest that
would render usury an Impossible
Imposition as tho sale of air to
breathe.
Tho circulation of national bond
notes Is a special privilege that would
bo abolished by nclontlflc monoy, as
thcio would bo no othor monoy In
Tlrculhtlon but the imtlou'u tluio
note:.
TJio present ntnmlftrd f vnlno Is
gold coin. Hut the quantity of g1ld
coin Is Insufficient to meet the do
nmnd for money ami $8,000,000,000
of paper money, consisting of national
bank notes nml Uovernmenl legal ten
der notes, popularly called gieciu
tuu'kn, are kept In circulation on a
purity with gold coin by a reserve of
$150,000,000 gold coin maintained
at tlio United States Treasury.
A panic precipitates tho payment
of all obligations In gold coin until
confidence Is restored, and the tens
upon tens of billions of demand obli
gations cannot be paid with the ex
isting supply of $1,000,000,000 gold
coin In circulation. There l no
possibility of creating more gold and
nothing but gold will satisfy Hie do
mnhd obligations until confidence Is
restored. Therefore there can be no
doubt that while gold coin Is the
standard no power exits that can
restore confidence but tho power
exorcised by financiers In control of
the supply of gold coin.

Meat at the Market
To the Kdlter: Just a word In an
swer to C. J. Hast man, manager Un
ion Meat Co.
Now I have bought meat In Med
ford for twelve jenrs and never got a
nicer tasting leg ot mutton than tho
one I bought at the public market
last Wednesday. I was thero when
the meal was brought In and all the
moat looked healthy, fresh nml
tempting; and as to the meat not
being protected against files, dust
and so forth, there Isn't any need
that I could sec, as It was sold too
fast, and tho market Is a very clean
place any way and almost free from
files. The meat changed hands loo
quickly to suffer an) damage In that
way.
I think all of the women there
could plainly see that the moat was
very fresh (and that Is what we
want), and could as easily cool It at
home as In tho butcher shop.
As tho article leads us to believe
there Is too much red tape for the
consumer to pay for and too much
handling of the meat. Yes. we pay
for the nice white linen suits tho men
wear.
