GIVING MICHIGAN A BLACK EYE
Mysteria, sewing circle gossip, aud
plain newspaper lies have given Mich
igan some bad advertising lately. We
do not pretend to decide whether the
worst Of il came from the reports Of
the original strike for potatoes au
gratin or eggs Gaby Deslys among the
gentlemen employed at Jackson prison
in making binder Irvine for Michigan
farmers ION state account or whether
IL came from the extravagant reports
of the punishment Of the ringleaders
But besides being bad advertising it
was largely unfair and untruthful adj
vertising.
If we can be calm about it for
minute we will admit that the first
necessity in prison is the obedience
of the convicts. The majority of the
convicts realize that it pays to be good
inside the walls. If not on the outside.
OF the go incarcerated at Jackson only
a handful have been responsible for the
disturbances and dynamite plots and
rebellion. In Marquette prison. where
Michigan houses some of her toughest
citizens, there are 81 convicts at the
present time Of whom 1876 or over
half, have never bad bad report dur
ing their term, The others have been
reported once, twice, or three times for
minor offenses. Occasionally there Is a
spanking, when some guest who has
been given every chance to appreciate
kindly treatment tries TO cut guard

are now being shed over the Ingubrious
pages of such untruthful and unfair
newspapers as The Detroit Journal are
being shed because a few Of the more
bloodthristy ruffians at Jackson have
been spanked until they decide to be
less bloodthirsty.
There Is nothing in this procedure

Observation-Disclosures
PREpARIMGssR

Denver. Dec. 2i.-The Legislative
committee appointed to Investigate the
state institutions is preparing its re-
port and according TO good informn-
ton it viii recommend that the state
abandon the Indian school at Grand
Junction which was given Il by the
government. It will also recommend
that the normal school at Gunnison
be abandoned and that the students
who have been attending that school
be sent TO Greeley. II viii also re-
commend that the state reformatory
at Buena Vita be moved to some loca-
tion where there can be general farm
ing
These three recommendations will,
1t is understood. form the principal
part OF the report The Indian school
at Grand Junction vas given the state
by the government a year ago under
certain conditions. The committee
viii find that those conditions are
such that the financial question win
he the big question and that results
will not pay for the trouble which Will
accrue.
The school at Gunnlson was start
ed by the Thirteenth general assem-
bly, in 1901 with small appropria-
ton. Nothing was done until four
years ago when another appropria-
tion was made and then again in two
years. 1t cost $4,000 to run the
school last year and there we're only
thirty-four students. thousand dol
lars a pupil.
The Bucna Vista reformatory Is 20
situated that all kinds of farming can
not be successfully operated. hence a
recommendation will be made that the
reforma,oTy be transferred TO some
place where good farm can be oper-
afed.
