Earnings in the Jail.

From the report of the county com . missloners it appears that the state last year paid for the board of pris- oners $32, 412.S7, and that the earn . lngs of the prisoners were $4.500. The average number of prisoners is not given In the report. but was probably about 323. There were 316 at the be- ginning of the year. 363 at the close and 2,f12 were admitted during the year and 2,725 discharged
 The number of commitments and discharges indicates the floating char acter of the population. and the fact that nearly half the commitments were Tor drunkenness, many such being chronic eases, shows that large part of the jail inmates are of little use for work during the short time they re- main. Yet it should be possible some how to confine prisoners when the law requires it without relieving them of the necessity of supporting themselves. There are plenty of able bodied men there who ought to earn their keep or go hungry, and as far as the law pro- duces the present situation the law should be changed.
 The fact is that the jail system ev- anywhere is out of joint with the times. A state prison sometimes turns out a man the better for his incarceration, a jail almost always makes him worse. The jail system lags far behind the prison system in most of the states. and it is likely to continue in that way until the same influence that has im- proved the stats prison becomes effect i've in jails, and this can hardly be until the system is made over to con- form to the new conditions that have developed side by side with the other changes that have attended concentra- tion Of population and the growth of d class of irresponsible men and women. not generally criminals. but either idle or incapable and generally given to ex- Cessive drinking. The way to improve ment probably lies through recognition of this fact and a treatment for such people not as criminals but as semi incompetents, mostly able to maintain themselves. but lacking either the de- sire or the purpose
 It is a big problem, but it cannot be called insoluble. and solution is de- manded by both justice and economy. Hartford Times.
