HAWTHORNE NOW
SEEKS REFORMS
ELSEWHERE
Former Convict, Before New York
Governor, Advocates Reforma-
ton for Sake of Humanity.

Julian Hawthorne, whose arraign-
ment Of conditions at the Federal
prison, where he was an inmate for
several months, created q sensation,
is hard at work stirring up sentiment
70 bring about changes in penal insti-
tutions everywhere. In a plea to the
Governor of New York he points out
some needed reforms.
First" said Mr. Hawthorne, the
State must provide adequate appro-
priations so that prisoners may he
properly housed and fed. In this
connection, too, 1t is most important
that the guards, who exercise such
despotic power over their unfortu-
nate charges, should be of higher type
than those employed by the Govern
ment in Atlanta. Men who know how
TO treat the inmates humanely AMI
to mingle mercy with justice must
necessarily receive good salaries.
Lock- Step Is an Evil.
so long as prisoners spirit Is
not broken he does not become "A des-
perate man. The antiquated system
now in vogue in many of the pena,
institutions is certain to drive men
insane. The lock- tep should be aboi-
ished the honor system should be
adopted; the rule of silence should ne
abolished; above all, inmates should
be treated as humans.
Prisoners who have families
should be paid for their labor. The
money should be RENTED at stated
intervals to those who have been de-
Drived OF the prisoners support.
There is nothing which will turn the
model prisoner into "a desperate char
ecter so quickly as the worry over the
fate OF the loved ones left behind 20
depend upon the charity of an IN
feeling world.
The policy of limiting a prison
er's privilege of writing letters is ey-
tremeiy cruel. What advantage IS
there to be gained in preventing the
first offender from communicating
with his relatives and friends, and in
receiving from them tters which will
help him to he brave until his ordeal
Is ended? In this connection l would
suggest that much good might be az
complished by permitting the pris-
oner's relatives and friends to visit
him more frequent"
Colorado Prison a Model.
Colorado's honor system" in Mr..
Hawthorne's opinion, Is a model hat
Warden Meyer could well copy. He
related the incident OF a man who had
served a long term in Sing Sing and
was looked upon as desperate Grim
inal, - later was an inmate In the
Colorado prison and was there rat I'd
as model prisoner. This mar has
served his term and is now a useful
and respected member of society.

LITTLE ROCK TO GET

Little Rock, March 21-In all probability Little Rock will get the 1913 encampment of the Ark ansas National Guard thru the acceptance of the offer by the commercial bodies of the city. The officers of the Guard, looking about for a way to maintain the organization, suggested to the city of Little Rock that if t would donate $3500 toward the yearly expenses for 1913, the en- campment would be given the city. The Arkansas National Guard Association, which met in Little Rock Thursday afternoon and night. ratified the agreement and the commercial bodies did the same Thurshay night.
 Thirty five officers of the Guard met in Little Rock and discussed the question of maintaining the organization, in two very enthu- siastic sessions. The captains Of the companies were requested to keep their men together and to provide armory rent for the com ing two years. Those present agreed to this and it is thought the others will do so.

COMPLICATION
 ARE EXPECTED

Little Rock, March 21- Com nHcations are liable to rise over tbe actions of W, K. Oldham, who is holding fourth over the North wing of the State Capitol as Gov ernor, should the Supreme Court Monday decide that J. Marion Futrell, President pro tenn of the Senate, and Governor of the South wing, is entitled to hold the office of acting Governor.
 When an agreement was reach ed between the two claimants for the office, 1t was stipulated that neither should undertake to sign bills passed by the legislature, or attend to any matters of impor- tance. Acting Governor Oldham has issued one or more pardons every day, besides committing some sentences. Should the Su preme Court decide against Act ins Governor Oldham none of the pardons he has signed since the adjournment of the legislature, are legal, and should his success sor feel inclined to do so, he can order the persons pardoned re. incarcerated.
