drive him away from the work. All the men,
wherever they may be, are working like one big
family. OF course, the fellows would rather have
their liberty, and be away from the prison, but
some way or other they have all developed the
sense of honor, and they stick"
Soon the pig shed was reached, and the visitor
was earnestly urged to get out and inspect eight
tiny porkers hardly able to waddle, and about 100
other pigs, all under the care and training Of one
prisoner, who grinned all over in his pride.
You have seen some of the prisoners who are
working here" the warden said. About 400 9TH
es are at work on the various road camps,
ranches, etc, some as far as 800 miles away.
Three years ago our road camps were largely
experimental. Today the success of the plan, from
every standpoint, is definitely established.
Colorado owes many of it's wonderful thorough
fares and access to its scenic beauties to the men
who are housed in the gray prison at Canon City.
Many states have found convict labor outside
the prison wells improbable, because they have
paid too much attention to guarding the convicts.
Work on the roads is sought for by our prison
ers. We make it an object for them to do good
work and not attempt to escape.
Il personally have had many talks with each
and every prisoner before he leaves the prison for
the road camp, and this talk is the keynote to the
whole situation. The prisoner feels that he is talk
ing to one that has his interests at heart, and the
very best in him comes uppermost.
80 much for the reformative features of the
honor system. Society asks-what is the finan-
cial benefit to us? During the 1909-1910 biennial
period, our cenvicts built 80 miles of finished road
way at a total actual cost to the taxpayers of the
state Of $56,700, a saving of $155,46o. In ranch
products they earned $16,S9O. In saving on i'm
provements they earned $1O6, 746, and in cash earn.
ings they made $38,125.
During the biennial period of 1911-1912 we
greatly exceeded our former record, having con
structed in the neighborhood of 800 miles of
permanent roadways. Considering the situation in
Colorado, and basing our figures on actual ex-
perience, we are confident that we can construct
5000 miles Of the very finest ~roadways in the next
ten years for less than 100000, and this without
adding anything whatever to the burden of the
taxpayers. Taking it all in all, the honor system
has proven eminently successful from the soundest
financial standpoints. The country has been en-
riched; broken and sin-laden men have been re-
formed, and society has been guaranteed a greater
measure of good and willing citizens than ever
before"

look for the rough baseball field that every suburb
boasts, can be seen the big, black score board,
the worn base lines, and the benches. But there
on the outskirts of the toYn it's a prison diamond,
not the village baseball field. Across the fields
on the distant plateau, the huge gray stone cell
block looms up. Lower down, backed up against
invitingly sheltering woods for those that might
want to run away, is the diamond.
Here, at once, the great significance OF the new
era at this state prison bursts upon the visitor,
Measuring the distance from prison to diamond
with the eye, one puts this proposition to himself:
IF the state of Colorado can march convicts with
a band a half mile to a ball field; if the warden
can umpire the game and escape alive; If the boys
can promise to refrain from swearing, and really
cut 1t out; If several hundred supposedly desper-
ate characteristic stuff the gunner are made or,
in the popular imagination-can yell and howl
and jolly the players, and, when the game is over,
return without the loss of a man to the cell-block,
and preserve in the long, vast building a silence
throughout the evening that causes the proverbial
pin to echo-well, what of our traditional distrust
and dread of the convict?"
Entering the tstockade between the huge cell
block and the smaller buildings at the Canon
City prison, another surprise awaits the visitor.
Perhaps so men, all in gray, are moving without
restraint within the enclosure; it makes one think
of a big city schoolyard. Some OF the men are
playing at quoits; others are chasing each other
and boxing intermittently; pipes and cigarettes
are much IN evidence.
Warden lyman is big-bodied, big-hearted, and
jovial, and has much to tell and rejoice at in the
Canon City experiment. He invites the visitor to
stay overnight with him. We'll drive over the
farm after luncheon he says, land this evening
I'll take you down to my club" Just where that
club may be the visitor cannot fathom-but he
usually stays.
It is now the dinner hour. The trumpet blows
for all the world like the dinner call of an Atlantic
lipar. the man in nrdprIV fashion cease their
games. their walking and their smoking, and fall
into line in the cell-block.
Contrast with what you will read in a minute or
two the recent prison riots in another state, where
the militia had to be called to restore order, and
where logging was re-established. Contrast the
old days at many state prisons. under the contract
system, where men were worked, practically, from
sun to sun, and threw themselves from second
story windows to main themselves that they might
not be obliged to do the racking, deadly work of

The conscience of humanity de-

Then, too, the conservation Of cul-
tural values a also be better secured
through race sympathy than through
race antipathy. The production of such
values may depend upon particular
races, not necessarily, however, their
conservation. One race may raise the
flower and give the seed to others. The
more one race after another shares in
the intellectual wealth of the world,
the more humanity progresses. These
very values are produced on the high.
er levels, and rac antipathy belongs
to lower levels. We must depend upon
ace sympathy for their conservation,
Therefore, 1t seems clear that what.
ever good purpose race antipathy has
hitherto served can now be better
served by race sympathy. Not through
ace aversion, but through race ap.
probation; not through race antagon,
ism, but through race cooperation; NOT
through race separation, but through
race fellowship lies the way to the
richer, fuller life of humanity.

the warden's clerk; the cook is a convict, and he
certainly is a cook. The warden's goodman is a
convict; the chauffeur is a convict. Indeed, wher-
ever one turns. one finds the prisoners filling places
of trust. The houseman closes up the house at
night, locks everything up, goes up to the prison
half a mile away, and is the first one down in the
morning. And the wardens club is nothing else
than a ffteen-minute gathering of the house boys
and himself in his kitchen after the work Of the day
is all done.
