GOVERNMENT CONyICTS
TAKEN AWAY FROM WEST yIR-
CHINA pErITENTIARY.
Washington OmeiaIs select a Detach-
ment of Prisoners 20 be Removed
TO Atlanta, Ga

The Moundsyille penitentiary is go
ing to lose some of government
prisoners. Col. A. @. Game and r.
". La Dow, of the department of JUS
tice, of Washington, d. O., which
has cbargs of the new penitentary at
Atlanta Ga, of which $. A. Hawk
is warden. made an inspection of the
government prisoners incarcerated in
the West Virginia institution with a
view OF removing them to Atlanta.
The Moundsville prison directors
fearing there would be general re-
moval of the government convicts, of
whom there arc 1858 at Moundsville,
TO Atlanta, an act that would ace
the prison in a hole, because much of
its receipts come from government
sources. Director Clark Hamilton
jr., met the committee and protested
against too many prisoners being re.
moved.
His fears were set at rest, however,
by Messrs. Caine and La Dow, who
stated that they wanted only 25 to 40
men, and that they must by all means
be mechanics. They are to be used
in aid in constructing the walls of
the Atlanta prison. All the go vern-
ment prisoners were examined by the
visitors and they will determine in
a few days which ones the will take.
The men will be removed to tlan-
ia within ten days by. United States
Marshal, O. ID. Elliott.
1t is thought no prisoners will be
taken to Atlanta after the first detach-
ment selected by Caine and La Dow.
The Atlanta institution has capaci-
ty of only 700 and the southern states
can fill it in two or three years. The
West Virginia pris on gets % cents a
day for each government convict.
This almost paws for their malnte-
nance and leaves the amount received
on contract labor clear profit. Through
this revenue the penitentiary requires
no appropriation from the general
fund of the state.

In view of these facts the Board
feels that the work of the Association
iustities itself and needs no words of
commentator. A recent writer has
well and truly said. : "A Village
without a Library is in state Of
comparative barbarism. Books are
the marks and means of civilization.
The schools educate onlv In part.
They awaken forces and Indicate
methods, but education is a process
of becoming, never complete, yet new
er eeasing.' To carry on this pro-
cess, to supply the means of clvlllza-
ton, books are necessary; and books
are not accessible TO the vast MAORI
ty of persons except through free Lii
braries. as education is available only
to many through public schools. The
Mnrtinsurg Pulic Lirary has perform
ed this mission nobly; 1t has saved
the town. of Martinsburg from the
stigma of being in a state of "com-
parative bar barism - it has furnish
ed the means Of carrying forward the
process of eaucation begun in the
schools.
The success OF the past five years
has been brought about by much hard
labor, but until permanent home
and fixed income has been provided
for the Library the work Is not end
cd A permanent home and fixed
income must be the good of our fu-
ture efforts.
