moving pictures, showing his men in
citizens clothes busily at work drill
ling, blasting, blowing, hauling and
surfacing; in many cases, out in the
mountains, in sparsely settled dis
tricts, with every facility imaginable
for escape. But one looks in vain for
the customary guards with long-range
rifle at command. No guards, no
shackle, no distinctive garb. abso
lutely nothing to distinguish the con-
victs from their foreman, except that
the foreman rides a horse. These men
work in large bodies, often several
hundred; only one barrier stands be-
tween them and escape; and it is i'm
possible for the moving picture to
show that barrier, for it is a Mans
Honor. In fact, the honor system
was partly a result of the discovery
that, to efficiently guard the prisoners,
the expense as equal to the saving
effected by their work, and hence of
no financial advantage. And so the
honor system was proposed amid plenty
of predictions of failure and verv few
of success.
Now, as Warden lyman remarks,
the Colorado convict is no saint, and
about 25 per cent of them are danger
GUS and should be confined. Of the
rs per cent some really should not be
where they are, and all can be trained
to better citizenship for return to
freedom by treating them as men. In
accordance with this theory, which has
been confirmed in practice, the men
who are allowed to go out on the work
are treated, housed and directed in
their work like any well-arranged
railroad camp outfit. They construct
their own temporary living quarters.
but there are no bolts on the doors nor
bars on tie windows. True. they all
retire to bed and arise at one time,
but so do soldiers. The men are
worked in rural districts; they do not
go to town, an unless a man breaks a
J rule, he need never return to the
prison. He can serve his full term
in the open air, and when his time
expires he has become proficient in
something surveying, blacksmithing,
farming or other occupations for
which there is demand. Not only
that, but by earnest, faithful work
of eight hours daily and observance
of the rules he can reduce a fve-yeal
term one half.
Smyrna times., 1912-11-20

During the past two years only one
man in 200 has run away; he is in
varialby recaptured and must then
serve 10 years within the prison
walls. Colorado is about to put ali
its county jails under the penitentiary
board, when the Jail prisoners will be
worked in the same way. The spirit
of the Colorado system is "unconsci-
Gus REFORM" growing out of the feel
ing that some one has confidence in
him. The good roads they build and
the farms they work for their own
support are part of the means to the
greater object.
Every year, IN the United States,
$50, 900 men are added to the prison
roll. Of these about 112, 500 are
capable of reform under the Colorado
plan. But from the mere standpoint
of wasted production this vast army
should be employed. The results are
tremendous, for 100, 900 men repre-
sent 80, 900, 900 days work year.
If Warden lyman could only tell his
simple story and show his pictures in
every city and town in the land, in
100 years we should have 1000, 900
miles of good roads. H H. Windsor,

Massachusetts is justly proud of
its state roads, which are a revelation
to visitors from other states: other
New England states have some, and
New York is coming into line. These
roads have cost millions of dollars.
Then we travel westward across l, 500
miles of thickly settled country with
very few all-the-year- good roads until
we reach Colorado, where the good
roads problem is being demonstrated
in a way which must sooner or later
command the attention of all the other
states. There 1000 miles of high
way, ranking with the best in the
world, have already been constructed
entirely with state-convict labor.
And these good roads would have cost

system, built seven miles.
1t was my privilege last month to
listen to Thomas B. lyman, warden
of the Colorado penitentiary, who oc-
cassionally finds time to leave home
and tell the intensely interesting story
of how he has solved the question, not
only of what to do with convicts,
but who to reform them at the same
time. He tells part of the story in
