No Guards for Colorado Convicts; Put
On Honor and Sent to Build Roads
The Warden Of Colorado Peniten-
tiary Trusts His. Prisoners and
Few of Them Abuse the Trust
Believes a Prison is Place for
Repairing Broken Men, not for
furnishing" Them.


CANON CITY, Col, April 12.-
To make a man trustworthy, trust
him.
This is the recipe of Tom Ty-
nan, warden of the penitentiary
known in Colorado as 1.-THE mend
er of broken men,"
Instead of the ball and chain,
the heavily armed guards, the con-
slant espionage and suspicion, Ty-
nan has introduced his honor sys-
tenn" by which prisoners are treat
ed as men.
Aa a result, lyman has built
mile after mile of road through
the mountains. And his men have
done the work with the full knowl-
edge that no bullet would block
their plans to escape, should they
desire to break faith.
lyman abolished the use of guns
shortly after he took office and
immediately after a break" by a
dozen desperate convicts. The
break showed that force was a
failure.
In addition to the usual work
about the prison, In workshops and
quarries, the Colorado prisoners
work upon state roads. Neither in
the road camps, some of them 40
miles from cities, or about the
prison, are guards allowed to carry
|revolvers. Last year out of a total
of Tao employed in road camps,
only 3S made any effort to escape.
Life in these road camps is made
as agreeable as possible. About the
camp fires at night is a phono-
graph. One camp has an organ.
A supervisor in charge of the
work Is the only guard"
The state permits 10 days a
month additional good time" to
men employed on outside work.
This is the incentive for good be-
havior. The practical result to
the state is the construction of
state roads at small costa fea-
ture which does not appeal to
lyman.
81 don't care about the cost in
money" says lyman. Right now
the state is making profit from
the work of these men. If / had
my way, these men would draw
every cent they earn. I would
have 1T sent to their families or
kept for them on their release.
"The idea that a prison is a
place to punish and to satisfy re-
venge is not in keeping with the
age. More and more we realize
that those who break our laws are
not vicious, just weak. Every
sentiment of humanity prompts

JUDGE LINDSEY
TALKS ABOUT
CHILDREN

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Dem
yer gave his lecture, THE Misfor-
tunes of Mickey" at the First
Christian church last night.
The boy problem is deeper than
Juvenile courts. Fairgrounds, big
brother movements and the like,
according to the boys best friend.
With 10000 mothers being
forced into the industrial arena
every year to help earn the daily
bread, Judge Lindsey showed that
the making of good citizens out of
boys and girls cannot be left to
the mothers alone. Mothers can
not be bread winners and trainers
of children at once.
He thought society must come
into its responsibility. The child
must be taught on the playground
where 1t naturally gravitates, and
he deemed 1t almost criminal to
lock some children in a school
room for five hours.
Judge Lindsey will return
Thursday afternoon and speak to
the children at o'clock, catching
car for Puyallup later to lecture
that evening.
