ON EXILES
LIFE

There has been a great deal of SYM
pathy wasted upon Siberian exiles,
writes william e. Curtis from st.
Petersburg. While there have doubt
less been innumerable cases Of in
justice and brutality, for Russian Of
ficials are corrupt and cruel, and the
Slavs. as a race. have always regarded
human suffering with indifference.
nevertheless. under ordinary circum-
stances, the majority of those who
have been banished to Siberia are
much better off than they were at
home and ought to consider them
selves fortunate to escape imprison-
ment for term of years. The cara
vans OF convicts. whose misery and
anguish have aroused so much horror
and indignation in civilized countries
have not usually undergone any great
er hardships than were borne by the
Pioneers who crossed our own prairies
to Colorado Montana and California
before the overland railroads were
buiit. And. upon arriving at their
destinations. unless they were guilty
or serious crimes, tnelr SURROUNDINGS
and circumstances were often much
better than those of the men who
developed the wealth OF the mountains
and the prairies west of the Missis-
sippi river. The life of miner or a
ranchman or farmer in Siberia,
whether he be an emigrant or a con-
Wet suffering banishment, offers in
finitely greater advantages for moral
and material improvement than can
be found in any OF the great Russian
cities, and in the great majority OF
cases what was imposed as a punish
ment turned out to be a blessing, for
many OF the wealthlest and most in
fluential men in Siberia are exiles
who have found unlimited opportuni-

ties for the exercise of their talents
and industry. The exile system was
adopted by Nicholas l.. the iron
car" with the idea Of utilizing con-
vict labor for the development of the
timber. pastoral and agricultural re-
sources of the vast region beyond the
Caucasus mountains, and, instead OF
sending offenders to prison, shipped
them into the wilderness to work
out their small salvation under the
surveillance of the police. They
were ticket-of-leave men. They were
permitted to go and come and do
whatever their hands found to do, and
enjoy the fruits of their industry with
out interference from the authorities
so long as they remained In the neigh
borhood of the community to which
they were assigned. Good behavior
was rewarded by additional liberty.
Exiles who proved trustworthy were
allowed the privileges of ordinary citi-
zens and were sometimes permitted on
parole TO return to their old homes
in Russia to visit their parents or at
tend to business affairs. No one was
chained either on the march or after
arrival unless be had committed
capital crime, or had tried to escape
or was refractory or had violated the
orders or the rules imposed upon him.
The heartrending pictures drawn by
Mr.. Kennan and other writer's were
often accurate. but the figures VINO
appeared in them were usually men
who had aroused the hostility OF the
/ officials by resistance or defiance and
were punished for that reason.
