morning sfter this years Halloween,

can hold down the effervescent spirits
of Atlanta's army of small mischief
makers. No maid of uncertain age
will be aroused from her bed in great
fright by the presence of a red-eyed
goblin staring into her bed chamber
or by the lonely knocking of some
joker on her front door
This has been decided by the police,

gather in dozens and proceed to make

particular neighborhood to whom
they have taken a dislike.
Picket fences are torn up, real es-
tate signs moved from one house to
another, and for rent" signs placed
on the lawns of the various school
houses.
Store windows are generally well
soaped and often the car tracks suffer
the same treatment.
Chief Beavers Tuesday said there
would be none of this in Atlanta this

HAWTHORNE NOW
SEEKSREF0 FORMS
ELSEWHERE
Former Convict, Before New York
Governor, Advocates Reforma-
tion for Sake Of Humanity.

Julian Hawthorne, whose arraign-
ment OF conditions at the FTderal
prison, where he was an inmate for
several months, created sensation,
is hard at work stirring up sentiment
10 bring about changes in penal insti-
tutions everywhere. In 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 it is most important
that the guards, who exercise such
despotlc 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 humaneIy ami
to mingle mercy with justice must
necessarily receive good salaries.
Lock Step Is an Evil.
80 long as a 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 mon
insane. The lock-:tep should be abol-
ished; the honor system should be
adopted: the rule of silence should De
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-
prived OF the prisoners support.
There Is nothing which will turn the
model prisoner into {. desperate char
acter so quickly as the worry over the
fate OF the loved ones left behind TO
depend upon the charity of an I'M
feeling world,
THE policy of limiting prison
er's privilege OF writing letters is ex-
tremely cruel. What advantage 's
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 be brave until his ordeal
Is ended In this connection ] 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.
Colorados honor system" In Mr..
Hawthorne's opinion, is model hat
Warden Meyer could well copy. He
related the incident Of a man who had
served long term in Sing Sing and
was looked upon as a desperate Grim
inal - later was an inmate in the
Colora do~prison and was there rat I'd
az a model prisoner. This man has
served his term and is now a useful
and respected member of society.
