without guards-some 300 miles away from the prison-have created national reputation for loyalty. Less than per cent have violated their pledges by successful escape. Communi- ties longer fear to have convict camps established near 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 road camps do not have the prison paor the physical weakness and the hesitating, hang dog appearance of the typical discharged con- yict. They are bronzed, sturdy, healthy, efficient laborers and are in demand as such. About 80 per cent of those 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 other incentives for the convcts to so conduct themselves that they will be put at work the roads, according to War den Tynan. For one thing" he says the man who is allowed to leave the prison for the road camp practically has seen the last of prison if 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 convicted criminal and has no place in society. His selfrespect turns he is taught self-reliance and sustained application, and these things enable him to take HIS pldce among Otner people ana do a mans work when he is released from prison"
 AS to the economic side of the question: War den Tynan is just as optimistic. He declares that the state has saved a large amount of money and that it will hundreds of thou sands of dollars during the next ten years through the use of convict labor the roads.
 With reference to the cost of maintaining the convicts in the road camps, Warden Tynan gives statistics
 Tn one of our camps" he says i've worked 35 men, not including the camp help, one month. The maintenance of each of these men cost the state exactly p cents per day The total cost or all the work for the month including salaries care of stock feed for teams and cost of equip ment, was $51515, 4719 cents per day per man. Had this number of men been employed at the standard wage rate of $2 per day, the cost Of wages alone would have been $1632.5Q,"

 Fort Smith.-Rev. Marion Capps, once sentenced to be hanged after having been convicted of burning to death three of his children, ranging in age from to If years, stepped from the circuit court room here free man.
 Capps was convicted largely on the testimony of his daughter, Bertha, aged b, and his sen, Ellis, aged 13, who were badly burned in the fire that took the lives of the other three chii- dren and which destroyed the Capps' home. They testified that their fath- CT tied them in their beds after satur. at!Hg the bed clothing with coal oil
 The case was then taken to the Ark ansas Supreme Court, which granted Capps a new trial. The children then made sworn statements to the effect that they had testified falsely at their fathers trial. Prosecuting Attorney Paul Little said that it would be use less to again try Capps since the whole case of the prosecution rested on the testimony of these two children. There fore he interposed no objection to the motion of Capps attorneys to dismiss the charge of murder against their client.

In New Jersey the convicts are handled lit- tie differently but the object is the same Here the guards have not thrown away their guns, but the firearms not in evidence and the casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely tell which are the keepers and which convicts g Woodrow Wilson, when he governor of New Jersey, thought he saw 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- 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 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 glass partition. This is the only suggestion of surveillance, except for the locks that placed on the doors at night The convicts' room con- tains showerbath and other facilities The ventilation Is scientific and the floor, walls cell ing and beds spotless. Two former chefs, now conviets 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 construct ed by the convicts themselves, without any out side help, save where expert workmanship such as could not be furnished by the convicts, needed. After the camp completed the victs were put to work on the nearby roads Asphalt roads are to be laid and culverts and bridges constructed, and in this connection is seen one of the chief benefits of the new sys- tem so far as the convicts are concerned. The prisoners will have an opportunity to learn the masteries of scientific road-making profession which is not overcrowded. Those prisoners who show an interest in the work will be promoted to responsible positions and will be in position to secure well-pad 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 own interest and that of the state, and rapid progress is predicted along these lines during the next few years by the country.
