conditions of prison life are. obviously
what is needed in order TO secure a refor-

TO know but 10 feel what is going on
within prison walls. Mr., Osborne was
we'll aware of the fact that he could not
hope TO duplicate the experience Of an &C

himself to an Imprisonment for the short
term of a week could not hope to expert
ence the sensations, nor to assume the
attitude of one who is sentenced in dis
grace TO penal servitude as an unworthy
member of society and who is not at lib

no one would think Of applying 10 other

concerning whose psychology we were

from whom we have everything to fear
and from whom We having nothing TO
hone. something might be said for our
present attitude toward them The
pseudo-science Of Lombroso has had much
10 do with this attitude during the last
generation. but it is even more an IN
heritance from earlier social conditions

cr,,ited from the lower classes of society
and the criminal law was administered
as il still mainly is in those countries

Another Train on This Division

citizens from the towns interested,
says that the railroad commission has
set May goth as the time for hearing
the petition to require the Central
railroad to operate another passenger
train on this division between Fort
Gaines and Smithville.
As the trains are now run it is
impossible for patrons of the road
on the Montgomery division to go be-
yond Smithville and return home the
same day. Citizens representing the
towns of Bronwood, Dawson, Shell
man, Cuthbert, Fort Gaines and Eu-
faula took the matter up some time
ago, with the result that the railroad
commission has been appealed to.

Will represent the petitioners before
