The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-01-12

When Tower folks want a good
time they have to go out of town
to get it. Ely has been a favorit
resort for this class of pleasure
seekers lately. A large party of
Towerites spent Christmas here and
on New Years another party came
up from the Deserted Village" to
shake off the dull, drowsy feelings
so prevalent among people of that
region, by merry social hop at the
Tower house on New Years night.
Among the party were the follow
ing: Mr.. and Mrs. J. Jones, Mrs.
J. Tredell, Mr.. E. F. Chalk, Miss
Lena Jeffery, Mr.. Chas. Marwhin,
Miss Mollie Spence and Messrs. T.
H. Wedlake, R. Childers. Fred
Gibben, Harry Williams, Henry
Serlill and E. F. Neads. It is
needless to say that they all had a
good time, and went back to Tower
overlooking with praises of Ely
hospitality.

AL the meeting of the council last
Wednesday evening numerously
signed petition was presented pray
ing for the appointment of Al.
Free of Tower as village marshall
of Ely. The petition was denied
without vote in its favor. Per-
sonally, we have nothing to say
against either Mr.. Free or Mr..
Hopperton, but if the public in
terests of Ely demand change,
which in the opinion of a large
number they seem to, we think
there are plenty of good men in
Ely to make the selection from,
without going to Tower.

The Texas Penitentiary System

This is the first of a series of
articles on the Texas Peniten-

The greatest impeachment to
the progress of any government
is the ignorance of the people.
They may be ever so learned in
other things, but if they lack in
formation about the things per-
tanning to the government their
country must suffer from that
ignorance. 1t is every citizens
duty to inform himself, as well
as opportunity is afforded. IN the

walls and that these wage.
should be sent to their families
Such treatment would tend tc
make the state the guardian OF
every man without a job or toe
trlflIng to support his family.
But the Texas law steps in
and effects a compromise that
insures punishment of the
prisoner, and helps him, if so
inclined. to make a better citi-
zen and a better wage Garner
when once he is freed. HUI
name treatment, training, ref
ormation and sound business
judgment is the combination
that the State Of Texas is now
endeavoring to properly adjust.
To understand how these are to
be brought about, it is neces-
sary to know something of the
laws pertaining to the peniten-
tiaries.
The management of the prison
system of the state is vested in a
Prison Commission, composed of
three men appointed by the Gov
ernor. their terms expiring in
eight, sixteen and twenty-four
months, respectfully. A con-
stitutional amendment is now
before the people, and it is to be
voted on at the November cleo
ton, making their terms of Of
flee two, four and six years. and
making them either elective or
as the legislature
may decide. These commission
ers are paid $4,000 each per
month and all reasonable and
travelling expenses ac-
tually incurred when travelling
on business for the prison sys-
tenn. They are also furnished /
houses in which to live, rent I
free. and must reside in Hunts
vile. Let me say right here
that the salary is a very reason
able one. considering the neces-
sary qualifications, the business
scumen needed. the response
nlllties and the duties. 1t is
necessary in order to get able
men.
One member of this commits
non is chairman: one has direct !
supervision of the finances Of
he system, one supervises the
'eeding. clothing, care and
treatment of-the prisoners, and /,
me supervises the work of all
he officers and employees of
