e. W. Morse's
Punishn1oDt

According to john F.. Gayncr,
has just been released from the Fed
-eral pentensiary in Atlanta uft r
"eervipg q five yea, term for compile
tity in the Savannah haroor frauds,
Charles W. Morse, the banker, is los
Ing bis mind as a result Of his i'm
iprisonment in that institution.
II this statement be true, some
thing should be done without delay
TO relieve the conditions which make
such cruel punishment possible.
While various States are making the
experiment Of placing couvicts On
farming lands, 80 that they may gain
the ben eft of outdoor excrcisc, the
government is not taking the lead in
this reform.
Plenty of exercise and sunshinc
and open air are essential to health.
A healthy body, moreover, is essen-
~alal to healthy mind. The day OF
torturlng prisoners to reform them
passed with the Middle Agee-cr
should have passed. Solitary cor
hoement will never reform man.
1t will weaken him in body and in
mind. The life Of most Of tho iris
oners in government inslitutlons is
TOO sedentary. When the prisoners
emerge, they have not the spirit or
the physical stamina to continue to
tight the battles Of life on honest
lines.
Morse,th scapegoat of Others who
we're more powerful, has suffered
enough. He has paid all his debts,
dollar for dollar. His trial and con.
vlction for a technical offense, the
crumbiing of his fortune, the dieso-
luton of his home, have all taught
the needed lesson. Nothing is TO be
gained by further torture.
1t NAV be, as the warden of The
prison Gays that Morse is in better
health than when he entered the il
~stitution. The broken condition OF
'Aaynor, just released, would seem,
however, to corroborste the story
that Morse is in bad shape, and may
lose bis mind. If the governn. ent
placed it's prisoners where their
bodies would be made stronger, the
percentage of habi,ual criminals
would be ducsd, and such men s.
