THAT NEW YORK man had novel idea
when he concluded to enter the state
prison in order to get first hand informa-
tion. That is one way of finding out, but
with all the Grassland accompaniment he
is getting, it is very doubtful if he learns
very much. Deeds of this kind impress us
strongly-that the main actor is looking for
a lot of newspaper publicity. There is as
much sense in trying to get first hand infor-
nation in this way, as there would be in a
state bank examiner notifying the banks,
several days ahead, of proposed inves-
tigation. If it is information he wants,
why not go about it in the proper way? Or
at least not make such loud noise in trying
out his own way.

MEN in prison are always complaining,
deal. Somebody is always giving them
dirt. This may be true in exceptional
cases, but very seldom. Your reason for
thinking you don't get square deal
is because you will not give square
deal in return. You can't 60 through life
expecting the squareness to be all one way.
If man tries to treat you right and give
you fair show, don't go around talking
behind his back and expect to get away
with tit always comes back to you, and
then you complain that you are getting the
worst of it. Be just as square with the 9TH

A MAN confined in the New Jersey State
Prison for murder, and who had gone in
sane since confinement, was operated upon
the other day and piece of bone was taken
from the base of the mans skull. He has
now regained his reason, and one of the
prison doctors believe that he will become
a better man than he was before the injury.
The injury was received at the time he
committed the crime. 1t is to be hoped
that the doctor is right; good, peaceable
man is relief in prison as well as out.
