COMMEAOS MOVE
TO VOTE BONDS
FOR NEW JAIL

w. T. Cross. Secretary OF tn,
State Board of Charities. commendl
the philosophical citizens Of Au
drain in another attempt to vot,
bonds for a new county jail. In {
letter to the EDITOR Of The Ledger
Mr.. Cross writes:
Columbia, Mo, Sept. Q. 1912.
Col, R. M. White, Editor,
Mexico Ledger.
Mexico. Mo.
My dear Mr.. White:
Am delighted to see that public.
spirited citizens Of Audrain County
do not propose to let the movement
for building a new jail die down as
indicated in your issue of this week.
Am. especially pleased to see tina
The petition carried three times the
number Of slgnaturs actually re-
CURED. Audrain County had the
same experience that Boone County
has had, that Of receiving a majority
Of votes Favorable to the proposition
but not the requisite t~wo-thirds ma
tority for making the bond issue.
However, the Boone County PROPOSE
ton was for a $4,000 building.
1t is sometimes difficult for
those who have little to do with the
criminal class to understand the de-
STABILITY providing deliberately for
their care. And / sympathize thor
oughly with those who believe that
four walls and a roof built strongly
enough to keep prisoners from get
ting out are all that are needed. On
the other hand I know that we have
advanced remarkably in the last 25
years in knowledge of what is
necessary for the reform Of criminals
VIZ know that 1t is necessary
only to incarcerate
them but also that we must separate
old offenders from those who have
wrong for the first time, that
there must be separate apartments
for women, that children must have
to themselves and not be
given the exciting experience of be-
Ing placed behind bars like growr-up
When 1t is necessary to detain an.
insane person, he should be kept in
q specially prepared cell wher he
cannot hurt himself. The jail shout
be of such type that 1t will be
easy to keep clean and the atmos-
phere sweet. Bathing facilities should
be provided and in many other ways
good administration ought to be made
easy through the character of arcbl-
lecture.
I have confidence enough in the
wisdom of the people of my native
to believe that when they
are thoroughly convinced Of the fact
that this proposition will net big Q
in the long run, they will
without hesitation vote the necessa-
rs money to construct the new jail.
.fder all, 1T costs each individ-
citlzen but very little.
Yours very Jruly,
w. T. CROSS.
