On first arrival at the island a man is
b-ieaded-that is. assigned to a certain
squad-but an orderly and industrious
life will soon win for him a home of his

Sam will build a cabin. and with a house

restraint save of his own making. The
way is open for him to become a man OF

When any coonist leaves the island
for good, which is rarely the case-he
is given number of envelopes. post
cards and stamps, and instructed to mail
one from time to time, and if at any time
he may be in bad way for lack of
work the officials will extend a help
ing hand. By this means man who
goes away from the island may keep in
touch with the authorities, and always
be sure of assistance in the hour of
need
A complete judicial system is i'm opera
ton on the island, the same as We have
In our towns and cities III America, from
justice of the peace TO judges of the
supreme court. All the judges are elect
ed by the coonists. There is also
mayor and councillors who are elected.
In Iact, 1t is complete republic within
itself with one eXception-the superin-
tendent, who holds the veto power and
is appointed by the governor general of
the islands. The superintendent told the
writer that he has never had to exercise
the veto power within the past three
years on any act passed by the council.

the circumstances he Immediately ap-
piled to Uncle Sam for a place there, and
was appointed hydraulic engineer, and
sent to iWahig to help get the place in

organized two teams, and now the Iva

Carroll II. Lamb superintendent Of the
Iwahig penal colony, has just returned
to Washington after spending more than
five years in the islands In talking
with the writer on the subject nearest
his heart. and to which he has devoted
many OF the best years of his life, Mr.
Lamb said:
The usual protests against the APP
parent favor shown prisoners Oh the
island is because the critics do not
look at the institution in the true
light of prison science, but are think
ing of Anticipated traditions when, for
instance, hands We're cut off for theft.
Such critics do not consider that it is
simply giving a human being a chance
to be cured of the worst of all dis
eases-criminality Further, the scorn
with which custom and experience
meet any new or novel principle cannot
accept the fact that there are no de-
grees in crime; there are only grades
in character.
But apart from the consideration of
humane codes and the fact that the
modern idea is simply humane and
also that prisons have no object for
existence serve TO segregate the criminal
until he is cured, the colony at Iwahig
has demonstrated it's right to existence
as an industrial and economic institu-
ton of the government.
In speaking OF the sociological fea-
ture of the work DIR. Lamb said
"AS the colony grows and progresses
