Something Wrong

Something is radically wrong at the

been lax for several years and revolts

! The mutiny could have only grown
out of one of two causes. Either the
convicts are being mistreated or they
to show that the former is the case. On
the other hand the Oakland Tribune has
this to say:
Those who have studied penology and
in their Investigations have visited
other prisons throughout the country

methods of other states. In addition
to being quartered at one of the most
delightful retreats in California, they are
we'll housed. we'll fed, have little work
and are subjected to such slight pun
ishment that it is almost farce. The
strikers struck because the cooks did
not suit them and because they were
not allowed to receive turkeys, fruits,
cigars, etc. from the outside, and one
of the conditions they made for return
ing to their duties was that they should
be allowed to name those to be placed
in charge of the kitchen.
This will not do. 1t is better to err
on the side of mercy than to abuse Off
cial power. But among a thousand or
more criminals there will always be a
few who stand ready to take mean ad-
vantge of kind treatment, and to whom
lax discipline is the opportunity for
mischief. The strike" of the convicts
at San Quentin is absurd and measures
should be taken that will bring the re-
fractory ones to their senses and put
an effectual stopper upon such incidents

road for a dollar or a licking. The man
was one of the mill crew and met Hodges
in the road. Hodges had said a few days
before that time that il the man ever
dunned him again he would give him a
licking. Hodges did not get out OF mis-

the second time, but drove straight on.
He had trouble with a man by the name
of Tobey who worked for him. and Tobey
ran him into the house with pitchfork.
Then he had heard the case of Chas.
