delivered the
 es on fThe treat
 the students of the
 erday morning. It
 y interesting and in-
 this one of the leading
 .o present day. During the
 -. Way1and said: Up to within re-
 -.rs the idea in the treatment of orimi-
 nas been to protect society simply by -4leir confinement, but now the idea is to confne them until they are reformed. The result of long and most thorough investjga- tion has been that the present punishment inflicted by our courts, does not prevent crime or reform the criminal simply because the result in almost every trial is uncertain, and the criminal does not expect to get caught when he commits the crime, while the chance that he may be does not deter him in the least. Confinement and reformation should come together, but under the present system of things this is impossible, and says an in- vestigator of this subject: Our county jails where criminals are generally confined for their first offence are at the1r best simply nurseries of vice. All criminals were once innocent and it seems to me that for the first offence they should be put on probation, and if good discharged without the taint of the jail bird about them. For the second of fence they should be punished seriously and severely, and be given to understand that if they commit crime they will be punished, ,and for the third offence the length of their confinement should be indeterminable, and the latter course is rapidly coming into favor in our prisons and is very successful. Now, in speaking of the nature of prison labor, 1 would say that the methods tried have been of five kinds-lease, contract, convict stamp | L 1--- .szI is confined to the southern States, the con victs are let out in gangs to contractors, and so all the State makes off their labor is net ! profit. This system, however, has many objections to it, the principal one being that here there is no chance for reformation | among the criminals. The objections to ' contract labor are that it puts the convicts I under power of the contractors where gain is the object and not reformation, and then \ there is the competition with honest labor. These objections, however, seem to be only in the abuse of the system, ! and would not apply if the terms I of the contract were made rightly by the State. Then as to competition with honest labor. this is all folly, as the goods are sold at market prices and comprise only one per cent of like goods manufactured, while if saleable goods were not made the people would have to bs taxed to pay for the keep- ing of the conyicts. Then as to the stamp system and the piece price system, both or these were tried in order to oust convict labor and were unsuccessful. Another system, called the public account system, where the State owns the machinery and sells the goods, has worked very well in New York, but this also has objections, the principal one being that the warden cannot both be good manufacturer and business man and good warden at the same time. However, this question of prison labor has not yet been solved and it will con tinue to be a leading question until it is.
