from the state hatchery, which will be
attended by prison labor. The new
project means the abandonment of the
present penitentiary and the sale of
the site and buildings after the farm
prison has got far enough along for
the general transfer of prisoners. A
separate prison is to be built in Perry
county for the Incarceration of con-
victs who cannot be trusted in the
open. This site will be on tract of
brick clay and the prisoners there are
to be used in making brick and other
material for roads. The prison farm
is the result of Gov. Cox's idea that
the penitentiary as place for punish
ing criminals is a failure.
convicts Will Build Prison.
81 feel justified in asking the legis-
lature to spend $250,oOo for the farm,
after a farm prison has been recon-
mended by commission" said Gov.
Cox, 81 selected Lieut.. Gov. Green
mund, DR.. Harris Cooley, Dr. James
A. Leonard and DR.. Shepard as a
commission to pick a farm, and they
have chosen the Madison county site.
AS the prisoners themselves will build
the prison the expense to the state
will be small, if any. The old site in
Columbus will be sold. Its value has
been estimated at all the way from
100000 to 100000. At any rate, it
will pay for the farm and for more
than the amount of equipment we
shall need to begin work. Ohio's new
penitentiary is going to be operated
along the lines of scientific penology.
We intend to operate it on business
basis, but above all, we are going to
make men. And not only shall we
save those who are sent to it, but we
are going to make an intelligent effort
to finG out why men commit crime. We
intend to try to learn the causes that
lead men into the wrong course, and if
| we can learn these causes, society
can begin the work of removing the

Loses Saloon by Small Margin.
If Crestline could have included
two more residents in its special GEN.
sus it would have been entitled to one
more saloon. AS it is, the city will
have to get along with seven. Its
population up to date is 1898. Oak
Harbor filed its special census with
enough to get four saloons. In the
government estimate it had enough
| for only three. New Washington, in
Crawford county, passed 1000 and will
be allowed one saloon more than the
government census gave it. 1t showed
LOOP in population. Coldwater has
1885 residents according to it's new
| census. These figures have been ap
proved by the state board.
