States. All Of this swampy country
lies within the states which have been
settled for many years with industri-
Gus people and within the rainfall re-
gions. where irrigation is not required
in the raising of crops. These swamp
lands. having been partly or wholly
under water, have built up for them
selves a top soil Of the richest alluvial
deposits Drained of their excess
dampness, they would supply to the
farmer a soil as fertile as any under
the sun. If it be true that high prices
result from lack OF sufficient farming.

tain districts of the United States, in the
lands Of disappearing timber, and along

already without limit.
Not all prisoners can be worked with

Report of Jail Birds"
Following this address, the report Of
the committee on discharged prisoners
was presented 10 the convention by F. A.
Whittier, Of Minnesota.
For years prison managers thought
the cheapest and easiest way OF handling
the discharged prisoner was to cast him
adrift, with possibly a cheap suit Of
clothes and a little money as a sort Of a
bribe 10 their conscience that their full
duty had been done" II says in part.
Was this and is il the cheapest way?
We think not. and, viewed solely from
the standpoint OF dollars and cents. this
will not be profitable. Surely, If any
considerable Per cent can be restored TO
self-sustaining citizenship by some time
~ help. it will be found cheaper than
the expense OF their added crime. con-
viction. and maintenance, especially
when We consider the fact that every
conviction makes restoration and almost
continuous care more certain"
I'VE believe that agencies for aid
should be so organized and perfected
that upon his release from prison every
man might have at least a definite
chance of employment, where he could,
il he would, succeed, and that the aid
and supervision Of the agency continue
until he has acquired three RS" of
good citizenship-self-respe self-reli-
ance, and self-restraint."
