NATIONAL GUARD
rs DESERVING OF
PROPER SUPPORT

Having been either a member of or
greatly interested in the National
Guard of California since 1872, period
Of over thirty-two years, and having
risen in it from the lowest to the high
est rank, I think / can reasonably say
that have some knowledge of 1t.
Upon the proper support of the Ma
tionai Guard of the various States de-
pends to a very great extent the safety
of this nation in it's relations with for
eign powers, for in the event of for
eign war it is necessary for the United
States to have an army either for for
eign service or to repel invasion. If
there were no National Guard 1t would
be necessary for the Government to do
either one of two things, viz, to sup
port a large standing army or to rely
upon raising the necessary volunteer
armies from raw, unframed, un-
drilled, undisciplined people. A large
standing army is for many reasons un-
desirable On the other hand, to rely
upon raising, equipping, drilling and
disciplining out Of totally inexperienced
volunteers an army to fight against the
trained troops Of other nations would
be disastrous.
In the late war with Spain it was
demonstrated that the National Guard
can be depended on to fight our coun-
try's battles. The First California Ito

LACK OF PROPER
FACILITIES CAUSE
OF JAIL OUTBREAKS

The most memorable event of the
| past two years was the outbreak of
| July 81, 1903 at Folsom, when the War
den and other officers were overpow-
cred, one officer was killed and thirteen
| prisoners escaped, they afterward kill
| ing two members of a military COM
| pany who were trying to effect their
| capture. This deplorable affair. which
cost the State dear in money and dear
er in the lives Of citizens, may also be
attributed to lack of properly exc
cuted building plan. since such an
emeute would have small chance for
success in a well-walled and well-ar-
ranged prison.
with regard to the futile attempt to
escape which was made a few days
since by a number Of desperate con-
victs, who paid dearly for their temer-
| ity, it can only be said that under diff
| ferent circumstances it might never
have been made, and that it's speedy
and effectiveness Of the prison forces
have been greatly improved during the
| last year and half.
! 1t is not a pleasant duty to recon-
mend the expenditure of large sums of
money upon State prisons. It is nat
| ural to feel that money will be better
spent in supporting schools and col
Il lGR6S OT Ia DulQlA6 puDilS Ll6hW dy -
| or in any one of a dozen other ways.
Nevertheless. 1t Is a short-sighted pol
| icy, because in the long run very
| costly one, to support prisons which
/ foster crime rather than abate 1t, and
enlightened statesmanship demands
| that California shall do what other
| States have done and spend money
enough on the prisons to equip them
/, properly. / feel 1t my duty to say that
] the present session Of the Legislature
ought not to close without a substan-
| tial beginning having been made in the
necessary work of prison reform.
/ 1t is the judgment Of the Board of
State Prison Directors. as expressed to
me, that building Improvements should
] be commenced at once at both prisons
| and continued until the present and i'm
has been fully provided for. Folsom
I Prison should be supplied with wall.
] as contemplated by the original plans.
| Nearly all the work on buildings and
wall can be performed with convict la
| Dor, and the cost can be kept down
accordingly. At Folsom, where granite
| is abundant, the new cellhouse can be
| constructed OF that material and the
wall also. II the cost of transporta-
! ton would not be too great granite
| could also be quarried there for the
new buildings at San Quentin. But
| there must be a liberal appropriation
| for the purchase of materials other
than stone and for the incidental ex-
penses of building.
How soon 1t will be possible to con-
| vert one of the two prisons into q re-
| formatory depends largely upon the
progress Of the necessary reconstruct
| ton. which must precede everything
| else. It would be well, however, for
! the Legislature to reach a decision
which of the two prisons shall become
the reformatory and which shall re-
| main an ordinary penitentiary, as un-
| til that question Is settled q proper
building plan cannot be adopted
| Only second to the reformtion prob

the State Board Of Charities-which
was that one Of the prisons be con-
verted into q reformatory-was antici-
pated as long ago as 1876. when
legislative committee reported senten-
tiously: Establish a reformatory in
connection with the State prison at as
early day as possible"
Indeed, 1t seems to have been one OF
the original ideas with which Folsom
prison was established that either 1T or
San Quentin would be made prison
for first, offenders and conducted on
reformatory lines, while the other
would be used for the isolation and
punishment of hardened criminals.
Yet, disregarding the opportunity
which the existence Of two prisons has
given for differentiation in their uses,
We have gone on for thirty years com-
mitting young and old, confirmed
recidivists and first offenders, indis-
criminately to both prisons, thereby
helping to make both schools or vice
and universities of crime" This long
persistence in radical error, when 1t
could have been avoided by simple
change in the law, appears, like some
other things in the history of our deal
ings with penal problems, not to reject
credit upon our intelligence. In the
past there has been q vast amount Of
talk about the defects of our prison
system, and, as / have already shown,
there has been no real difference OF
opinion in regard to the things to be
done; it has only been when 1t came to
the essential matter of doing them that
a paralysis has fallen upon us. But
has not the time at last arrived when
there should be action, and not much
else? 1t would seem so when we con-
template the fact that the two prisons
have, combined. but S7S cells and rooms
for nearly 2400 prisoners, and that at
San Quentin the herding in the re-
stricted yard is almost as bad as the
overcrowding in the sleeping quarters.
The main reason for delay in improv-
ing the condition of the prisons has
been, as the Assembly committee re-
ported two years ago, that of expense.
Money in liberal sums has been appro-
priated for support, and occasionally,
when forced to do so by the absolute
necessity of the situation, the Legisla-
ture has provided means to expand
prison accommodations; but appropria-
tions of the latter class have always
been so long delayed that when finally
furnished they have not made the facil-
tiles equal to the demands upon them.
If the grossest forms of vice run riot
in the prisons 1t is because the deficient
cell accommodations render herding
necessary and the obvious remedy Is
to give each prisoner his separate cell.
If no educational work worthy of the
name is done in either prison 1t Is be-
cause the lack of facilities puts 1t out
of the question.

DUTY OF CITIZENS
TO ENCOURAGE THE
STATES MILITIA


Therefore am of the opinion that it
is the duty of every American citizen,
who loves the flag and our institutions,
to encourage every young man to be-
come member of the National Guard
and thus somewhat fit himself to de-
fend his flag and his country If the
occasion should require. And I have
but little sympathy with those who,
from shortsightedness, Ignorance or
any other cause, desire to see 1t abol-
ished. And, therefore, recommend to
the Legislature to provide sufficient
sum for the support and maintenance
of the National Guard Of California and
to render 1t, already reasonably ef1-
cient, still more So
At the last session of the Legislature
there were submitted several commit
tee reports upon the condition of the
two State prisons and in one of these,
which was made by select committee
of the Assembly, the following Ian
guage was employed:
our two prisons are no credit 10 the State.
California boasts its place In the front rank OF
States, but her prisons lag generation behind
the better class Of Eastern penitentiaries.
The two prisons are schools OF vice and uni
yeraities of crime. . -
Boys and young men, guilty Of one offense
against the laws, but not yet hardened In
crime, are sent to these prisons not TO ne re-.
claimed but to be Systematically seduced and
debased by utterly degraded convicts. Asso-
ciated for term OF years with men whose VII
lainy is their boast, young men graduate from
these institutions fully equipped enemies OF
society. Thus the State trains It's criminals.
The responsibility OF THIS great wrons rom 8
the Board of Prison Directors. but upon the
people Of California. who have followed q false
public affairs. have failed to provide means
for the proper conduct of these institutions.
If this language is to be regarded not
as rhetorical exaggeration, but as ex-
pressing the deliberate judgment Of
! the legislators who framed the official
report quoted from, 1t constitutes a
serious arraignment of the prisons In
which the State now confines twenty
| four hundred convicts. Yet this report
does not differ greatly from a number
! of other reports which, from time to
time, have been presented by Senate
and Assembly committees and by in
I yestigating commissions. There are no
! other State institutions which have
/ been so often investigated and for
whose betterment so many recommen-
dations have been made, and yet the
progress of Improvement has been
very slow.
+; The main defects OF our prison sys-
| tem-which may be summed up as lack
of classification and segregation OF the
| convicts, lack of cell and yard accom-
modations and lack of intelligent
adaptation of means to ends in re-
/ formatory treatment-have been not
only recognized but quite well UNDER
stood for a long time. They were
pointed out by Joint Senate and
Assembly Committee in 1872--thirty-
! three years ago-as clearly as by the
! committee of 1903 whose report / have
already quoted, and the most import
