The board of county visitors have
submitted their annual report on the
county and public institutions. They
found Mercy and Ochsner hospital in
sanitary condition and the poor farm
satisfactorily managed. While they
have no fault to find with the way
the county Jail is cared for, they
are Of the unanimous opinion the jail
building is disgrace to the county
and dishonor to the state. 1t will
be recalled they made similar re-
port last year, and in their efforts
to right conditions the commission
ers gave the citizens chance to vote
bonds to erect a new structure. 1t
was made political issue and de-
feated. OF the structure the COM
mittee says: Dark, gloomy, damp
with unsanitary hunks, holes and
berths, reminding one of the old
time steerage accommodations of
water-logged hulks, would best de-
scribe the characteristics Of the pris-
on. A radical departure from the
present method of housing prisoners
must be made, if the honor of the
city and county are to be maintained.
The dictates of humanity and decency
should enlist the sympathies of all
citizens in such move.

retiring housewife and only the
weight Of the oppression she has had
to endure ever forced her to the re-
talitory methods that the English wo-
man must take. Certainly it is not
for US to condemn them in this coun-
try where conditions are so differ
ent. Her visit made deep impress
