PRISON REFORM.

7 IMPRESSED by the fact of Colonel
Griffith J. Grifith's work for prison
n reform, the Commonwealth club is
conducting an active campaign for re-
form of criminal procedure and estab-
lishment of reformatory for first Of
tenders Colonel Griffith bluntly char
acterizes San Quentin as a school for
crime, where youths from fourteen to
twenty-one daily come in contact with
hardened and degenerate criminals.
There should never be more than one
prisoner in a cell. and all cells should
be so constructed as to admit sunshine
and pure air When the San Quentin
prison was constructed these condi-
tions were entirely ignored. The ma
jority of the inmates are herded to-
gether in rooms containing two three,
five, ten, fifteen, twenty. thirty and
forty, and THERE is ONE ROOM
NOW FILLED WITH MORE THAN
TWO HUNDRED PRISONERS who
spend from twelve to fifteen hours to-
gether nightly there.
Prisoners receive no preparation for
supporting themselves when released.
and leave san Quentin with only s. and
suit Of clothes costing S2.95, which
every policeman and every detective
knows. The man who has done time"
does not know where to turn to look
for work, and that S5 is not going to
last very long. He emerges from the
bastlre physically and mentally han
dicapped.
Released thus without preparation
for supporting himself by industry, and
without assistance or guardianship
from the state. it is small wonder that
he returns to life of crime. The pur-
pose Of a reformatory is to educate
these men to be self-supporting and to
release them only when they are pre-
pared to earn their living.

OFFICIAL BRUTALITY

TN three notable and hagrant in
stances during the last few weeks
L has the thin veneer of our civili-
cation been scratched ana a barbar-
Gus brutality exposed which would
suggest a republic of force instead of
principle Tragical was the murder of
the 19-year-old boy Collins, a military
prisoner at Alcatraz, shot to death on
the transport dock because when
cursed and beaten by yahoo in
United States uniform he was bedaZed
and unstrung to such a degree he ran
"crying up the dock" Either for the
offense of weeping from modification
or Of obeying his natural instincts and
running a few PAGES this young Ameri-
can boy the son of widowed school
teacher was murdered by Uncle Sans
military despots, who shamelessly call
their diabolcal and heinous crime a
grim military necessity"
In the marine hospital an army ply
sician beat a patient, who shortly
afterward died. The doctor is eXcus-
ing himself by saying his action was
a grim professional necessity
The scene of a third case of official
brutality was Los Angeles city prison,
where. with the sanction of officials
saIaried by the taxpayers, a privileged
outsider is said to have committed a
wauton, savage and murderous assault
upon u negro prisoner from the ef-
fects Of which, according to the au-
topsy surgeons statement, the pris-
oner later died.
1t is time self-respecting American
citizens asserted their respect for the
humanitaransm which is founda-
tional feature of our civilization.
American declarations and professions
are Knocked and exposed to contempt
by the villainous conduct of privileged,
uniformed ruffians and licensed thugs.

BOOM THE HARBOR

n ROSPERITY has been voted and
should be demonstrated without
4 delay. There is no longer the
slightest excuse for manana business
policy in any department of activity in
Los Angeles. Thanks to the public
spirit and great intelligence of the pop
ulation of our metropolis, we are sure
everything is all right. Now let Los
Angeles go ahead.
In voting $3,5O0O0O power and $3,000-
900 harbor bonds, citizens, as it were,
voted the appropriation, voted the
financial guarantee, which places
Greater Los Angeles on an absolutely
safe and sound business basis and
makes it most attractive field for en-
terprslng business men and the pro-
moters of legitimate industrial enter
prises.
Not only was great general prosper
ity assured when the bonds were voted,
but the foundations of many vast for
tunes were laid. The men who will
make these fortunes are they who will
seize opportunity NOW, who will take
time by the forelock who will secure
the most desirable industrial and man
ufacturing sites, who will understand
ingly advertise and make the most of
the opportunities for trade expansion
that will come with harbor improve
ment.
Systematic advertising of the advan-
necessity. While the general agencies
for the dissemination Of news are eX-
cellent and as a rule reliable. in a case
of this kind they should not be left to
do all the work of familiarizing the
world with harbor conditions and pros
poets in Los Angeles. a great cam
paign Of direct harbor publicity is alb
solutely necessary. A bureau of harbor
information should be established with
out delay. Los Angeles should enter
into communication with all the other
maritime centers of the civilized world
From now until the completion of the
Panama canal a persistent campaign
should be kept up for the purpose of
familiarizing all the shippers of all the
world and all the shipping interests and
industries of all the world with the fact
Greater Los Angeles is a seaport city,
which win eXpend millions of dollars in
making Its harbor commodious and
safe for ths shipping of the world, and
will provide every facility for wharfage
docking and handling cargo that money
can buy. The bonds are voted. LET
THE WORLD KNOW 1T. BOOM THE
HARBOR AND WATCH MARITIME
BUSINESS GROW.

Civilization Is Mocked by This Case
of Brutal, Grim, Military Necessity
lsan Francisco starr

thought the man was going to fall
He staggered a little and then seemed
TO take a brace on himself. He pulled
his cap down over his eyes ana pressed
his lips tightly together I watched MN
closely because l expected TO see MN
drop. AS looked | saw tears roll down
his checks. All of a sudden he turned
and ran up the dock. The guards be-
gan to shoot and a few minutes later
the guard who had struck him re-
turned and said:
"'I got the ----.
The youth who lost his life because
of the grim military necessity" for Its
taking. was not a vicious boy. HIS
mother is a widow, who had earned a
living for herself and son by teach
ing school in Arizona. Some time ago,
attracted by the glittering pictures OF
the advertisements for men to enter the
army, Collins ran away from home to
enlist. He soon found that grim mill
tarv necessity requires army recruit
ing officers (and gentlemen) to mis-
represent the condition of the service,
and the lot of the common soldier Col
Inns tired of it all, and deserted. He
was captured and sentenced to term
at Alcatraz. The circumstances con-
nected with his case led to his pardon,
the papers being on the way to Cali
fornia at the time he was killed. He
knew of this. That, in his senses he
would under the circumstances, have
made his suicidal break for liberty, Is
not belieVable.
