Ho i.nv,. In men, Ho believes IB.""'-" .. , ln piiictlcally every man there Is an element of Kod, which should be cul tivated and fostered. Ho believes that In tlit'so wards of the state, there Is, 89 In every other ninn, a souse of honor. H" 1'1 fovea that men can bo made trustworthy by being trusted, that a man, criminal or not, has ah Innate sense of honor, that once awak ened makes him true to his better self, and therefore a better man. So be HevInK, he put In operation his "honor uyBtcui." l!v It, prisoners are not pa roled, hut they are permitted to work on public works far from the peni tentiary and without being guarded. Under this system, one of the greatest evils and handicaps in managing the prisoners In tho penitentiary, idleness, la overcome. More than a third of tho prisoners, under the old system, were without employment of any kind r hiid condition, either in prison, down much nim , ! . , - "i'"" is neau, even from tho churches, with thol, nrofes slons of 'To.ce , earth, Ko,l wlll towards men." 1Iu reilw(1 criminals also from tho noose, le,nR the election In which the people should express their opinion on n ,i , that 1 Ishincnt.

An has been stated, Oregon's governor is more widely known than any other now in office In the United States, and It is his honor system, which has come to stay," und his firm stand on capital punishment, that have made made him the most talked about of all tho governors.

When Oswald West completes his four-year term, he will have left an never been tried until Governor West Inaugurated It, but so far it has proved good, and will ln time be the prison policy of every state ln the Union.
