Prison Warden's Novel Experiments

men which will be lower than that of
any other state.
Many years ago an island in the
Missouri river was sold to the state
by some political sharpers, who made
a lot of money In the deal. The is
land has never been used, and the
lands owned by the state around the
prison have never been used to any
great extent for farming.
Warden Codding began work two
years ago, and the first thing he did
was to give the prisoners half an
hours liberty each day In the prison
yard. The men can do anything they
wish during that half hour. They can
talk to each other and and the guard,
play bah, pitch horse shoes, play Gro
quet or a dozen other games.
The prisoners had been morose and
sullen, and there were % insane
prisoners in the hospital and a halt
dozen tuberculosis patients. The plar
was adopted to see il the insanity ana
tuberculosis could not be stopped. No
a. new patient has developed in l.
months, and there Is not a single pris
oner in the tuberculosis hospital q
this time.

grown people as well, could disport
themselves every day all summer
long.
But that is not all. There Is an
Increasing demand for night schools
in this city. Surely Perth Amboy
needs them. With $4,000 at their
disposal the Board OF Education
could at least make a beginning Ill
that direction. 1t is probable thai
$4,000 would maintain at least one
class in probably three different
buildings at night. Here is some
thing that would have a permanent
benefit and would continue the
greater part of the year.
AS much as we would all like to
see a freman's parade it is hard to
see how the city can afford $4,000
for a single days celebration of this
character when it processes to be
unable to find the money for other
things that would constitute a much
needed and permanent improve
ment.

TOPEKA, Kan,-A new plan, intend
4 ed to give Kansas convicts a new
idea Of life, has been put into effect
at the Kansas ~penitentiary, according
to the report Of Warden ]. K. Codding
to Governor Stubs. Every man that
is sent to the prison is given six
months work on the farm just previ-
GUS to his release. The men get out
In the open They are tanned and
sunburned, have more liberty, less dis
cipline, get close to nature and leave
the prison with the hatred of men
and laws gone and really wanting to
try to live better lives. Since the new
system has been tried not n re-
| leased convict has come back. War

system Kansas may gain a record for

For he carries the woes of the town
In his mind
In a manner that's perfectly calm
and resigned.
Re receives all the kicks that the
folks can invent
And he peddles advise without
charging a cent.
He is known as a court of the final
resort.
Beauty Hints" are his forte and he
asks them no price
For two columns a week of good
household advice.
They expect him to fight all their
battles and say
All the things they's afraid to, in
sarcastic way
When they send in their roast they
say;
Don't use my name"
They're willing to share any part of
the blame.
When they afr their complaints, 1t
is easy to note
That they pick out the newspaper
mar as the goat.
He announces their births and their
weddings and when
They pass out he Just picks up his
faithful old pen.
And, although he doesn't know
which way they went,
He praises them skyward and lies
like a gent.
When an ITEMS omitted, with frowns
he is chilled
And IL it is printed, he's apt to be
killed.
He is roasted and criticised at every
turn
And is told that his paper rain't
wuth a gol durn"
But every n of them feels hurt,
just the same.
II he looks through the paper and
can't find his name
So the editor tolls through the day
and the night
And he always is wrong and he
never is right
When he feels that he's done Just
the best that he could
They pay up their subscriptions in
pumpkins and wood.
Many people have wondered where
this man will go
When he's finished his life of con-
tention and woe
But he surely has earned a long rest
and q crown
With a six-column sheet IN a one
column town.

FREE LECTURE COURSE.

AS an opening feature for the
course of lectures which has been
arranged by the trustees of this pub
lie library, Chaplain George E. T..
Stevenson, of the United States
Navy, has been secured to give a
lecture entitled, Around the World
with the Atlantic Fleet" illustrat-.
ed with two hundred views, many
of which will be in colors. Chap
lain Stevenson was on board the
battleship Virginia during that ia
nous cruise and is well qualified to
give a detailed account in an inter-
esting manner.
The lecture win be free and will
be held in the auditorium Of the
public library, beginning at S:15
O'Clock. AS this is something new
In connection with the library work
in this city, 1t is to be hoped the
people will patronize 1t literally SO
as to encourage those who are back
ing the idea, In order that 1t may
be a permanent addition to the edu-
cation work here.
For several years the Department
Of Education of New York City has
been conducting free lectures in the
various public school buildings
throughout the greater city, with
the idea of affording educational OPP
p~ortunities for adults who are not
able or do not care to carry on a
regular course of study,
All of these lectures are along
popular lines and are both inter
estng and instructive. In fact, so
popular have become the public lee
lures held in T~ottenyilie, that many
people from this city cross the
sound on the nights that they are
to be given to derive the benefit
along with the residents@of Staten
Island. Realizing the great Atnter-
est hat has been manifested in
these lectures In New York, the Ii
brary board here Is determined to
try the venture In this city, and In
cidentally put the auditorium in
the library building to good use.
This lecture, which is the begin
ming of a course to be held In this
city this winter, is of the order that
should draw a large audience. With
the constant demand for night
schools and other educational ia
cilities for those who cannot attend
the day school, there is no reason
why this course of lectures should
not be a success. AT least the ex-
pertinent liz to be tried and 1t re-
mains for the people Of the city TO
say whether or not they will be con-
tinued.

Such a gala occasion brings thous

freely, although it must be admit
ted that those who benefit most in
this regard are the saloons, the pea

which the city benefits is the adyer-

Perth Amboy has long been looked
down upon as a place Inhabited
mainly by forei8ners with little idea
Of American progress. We are only
too glad to have strangers visit us
and see our handsome buildings,

emily paved, and well lighted streets.
