Humane Treatment Of Prisoners.

The state penitenliaTy has been over
crowded for many years. When the
people put a republican governor in
charge Of the penal and eleemosinary
institutions he determined that unior-
tunates under state care should be
treated humsnely. His first thought
was to improve conditions in the state
penitentiary conditions that had be-
come shameful. His efforts were not
readily approved or assisted by the
democratic state officials who constitute
a majority OF the board exercising all
thority over that institution. That
board, however, could not prevent him
from plro'ing youths aud young men
who we're crowded into cells and closely
associated with hardened criminals. He
fount that hundreds Of such young
prisohers were serving sentences i'm
posed for heir fst criminal odense
for minor leloDies. Nos, oi them ought

iten,iary. He began paroling these
young prisoners, under conditions that
do not relieve them Of punishment en-
tirely but give them chance to start
lifeianew with better environments than
prison walls and better associates than
mature criminals. It Is for that the S..

Will Folk Submit?

The coming state convention Of
Missouri democrats at Joplin promises
to be an occasion Of wrangling and dis
cord created by the unfair methods
used by the managers Of the Clark
campaign against former governor Folk.
While both Clark and Folk have agreed
TO abide by the action Of the state con
vention concerning the support OF a
Missouri candidate for president, Folk
and his friends have not agreed to be
