All! tell me not that memory
Sheds gladness DER the past;
What is recalled by faded flowers

In New Jersey the convicts are handled lit
tie differently, but the object Is the Here
the guards have not thrown away their guns.
but the firearms not in evidence and the
casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely can
tell which the keepers and which convicts.
Woodrow Wilson, when he governor OF
New Jersey thought he way to solve some
of the problems presented by the state prisons.
He outlined his idea to the state prison labor
commission and turned over to that body, togeth-
er with the state road commissioner, the task
of working out his ideas. The result OF President
Wilson's suggestions is Don't Worry Camp" the
first of the road convict camps to be established
in New Jersey
This is very much like any other summer
camp, except that it is better equipped. One
large room holds the convicts' beds, while in a
projecting ell there is space for five guards,
whose beds are so placed that every square foot
of the convicts' quarters can be seen through a
glass partition. This Is the only suggestion Of
surveillance except for the locks that are placed
on the doors at night. The convcts' room con-
tains shower-bath and other facilities. The
ventilation is scientific and the floor, walls CELL
ing and beds spotless. Two former chefs.
now convcts, preside in the kitchen and prepare
the meals, which include meat twice a day and
plenty of fresh vegetables.
All the buildings in the camp we're construct
ed by the convicts themselves, without any out
side help, save where expert workmanship such
as could not be furnished by the convicts, was
needed. After the camp completed the con-
victs were put to work on the nearby roads
Asphalt roads to be laid and culverts and
bridges constructed, and in this connection Is
seen one of the chief benefits Of the new sys-
tenn, so far as the convicts are concerned. The
prisoners will have opportunity to learn the
masterfes of scientific road-making, a profession
which Is not overcrowded. Those prisoners who
show an interest in the work will be promoted to
responsible positions and will be in a position to
secure well-paid jobs when their terms expire
the authorities believe
While these few states have been taking the
lead in the efforts to solve the problem OF con-
vict labor other states have been studying the
question OF how best to direct the labor OF the
states ward, both for his interest and that
OF the state. and rapid progress is predicted
along these lines during the next few years by
those familiar with penal conditions throughout
the country.
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1913-11-01

without guards-some 300 miles away from the
prson-have created a national reputation for
loyalty Less than one per cent have violated
their pledges by successful escape. Communi-
ties no longer fear to have our convict camps
established them We have made manhood
as well money by this healthy hearty out
door labor. We have built the prisoners up both
physically and morally. Men discharged from
our road camps do not have the prison palor
the physical weakness and the hesitating hang
dog appearance of the typical discharged con-
vict. They are bronzed sturdy healthy, efficient
laborers and are in demand such. About so
per cent. of those we have sent from the camps
on the completion of their terms have made
good. The other 20 per cent. have mostly found
their way back into prison elsewhere"
Under the Colorado system, the convict is
allowed ten days off his sentence for each month
of labor performed the roads This is In
addition to the usual reduction made for good
behavior. There are other incentives for the
convicts to so conduct themselves that they will
be put at work on the roads, according to War
den lyman. For one thing" he says the man

he conducts himself properly. His food is bet
ter his clothing is better. He has not constant
ly before his eyes the guns of the guards to
remind him that he is a convicted criminal and
has no place in society. His selfrespect re-
turns, he is taught selfreance and sustained
application, and these things enable him to take
his place among other people and do a mans
work when he is released from prison"
AS TO the economic side of the question War
den lyman is just as optimistic. He declares
that the state has saved a large amount Of
money and that II will save hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars during the next ten years
through the use of convict labor on the roads
With reference to the cost of maintaining the
convicts in the road camps. Warden lyman gives
some statistics.
In one OF our camps" he says, I'VE worked
80 men, not including the camp help. one month.
The maintenance Of each of these men cost the
state exactly 25 cents per day The total cost
OF all the work for the month including salaries
care OF stock feed for teams and cost of equip
ment, was s515.15. or Az cents per day per
man. Had this number OF men been employed at
the standard wage rate of 50 per day the cost
OF wages alone would have been ST. 632 so"

Workmens' Picks Strike Nuggets Hid
den by Dead Miners in an Ancient
Building.

Denver. 'NColo.-The moving of a
ridge, resulted in workmen finding a
rusty coffee pot containing gold mug
gets worth more than $l,SOO. The
building was being moved to the rear
of the lot on which it stood by Henry
Evans. who intends to erect a modern
brick structure on the lot. Immediate
ly after the report of the find hun
dreds of persons rushed to the scene,
and, because of their activity with
picks and shovels, workmen will not
be needed to finish the excavation.
The landmark. one of the oldest
buildings in Summit county, was built
of logs. In the early days il was occu-
pied by Edward j. Collingwood, who
has since moved to Denver. Since
then il has been occupied by various
individuals and firms as store,
among them being G. b. Watson Of
Breckenridge.
Evans was advised to tear the an
cient structure down, and thus save
expenses, but, because of sentimental
reasons, he decided TO move 1t to the
rear Of the lot and to use the space
which it had formerly occupied for
his new building. The moving OF the
building entailed much digging. and
a force of laborers was put to work.
One Of the workmen unearthed the
pot, and cast it on pile of dirt. When
it struck. the lid flew Off and yellow
gold nuggets rained over the ground

Evans says that unless some one
claims the find. the proceeds will be
devoted toward building his new store.
Enthusiastic fortune hunters crowded
the site all afternoon. and Evans. after
watching them for a while. decided to
dispense with the services of the
workmen.
