Peter skillfully extracted his
companions pocket book and

of the currency of the realm. He
returned the empty pocket book,

SCORES GEORGIA'S
PENAL SYSTEM

ATLANTA, GA, Nov 14,-(Spe
ciaD-Miss Jessie partition, a bright
and popular member of the staff of
the Cincinnati Post, is spending sew
eral days in this city gathering in
formation for a series of articles con-
cerning the convict lease system of
Georgia, to which she expresses
strong opposition.
Miss PARTON talks Interestingly of
her investigations. AS a result of
these investigations, hes declares, the
convict lease system is all wrong and
advocates reform.
The present system in vogue in
Georgia" says Miss PARTON, should
be changed The lease system de-
grades the whole State, the conyicts
and the people who work them. Geor
gia, however, is not the only State
that has adopted the wrong method
for the punishment of criminals. l
have travelled through the West and
North, and, after visiting prisons and
interviewing officials have become
convinced that the whole penal sys-
tenn is wrong. Here in Georgia, as
well as in other States, you are do
ing nothing to make the criminal a
better citizen. When he comes out of
prison he is worse than when he be-
came a prisoner, and is a greater me-
mace to society.
There is no doubt but that some
reform is needed but the nature of
the reform is a great problem. l am
satisfied, however, that it would be
better for the state and for the peo-
pie if the state had direct supervision
over the convicts instead of leasing
them out tc private individuals and
