HONOR SYSTEM PAYS
IN ILLINOIS PRISON
Plan Of Putting convicts to Work on
the Roads, Turned Out to be
Success.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Feb. 25.--As a re-
ward for good conduct while at Camp
Hope, near Dixon, ILL.,, where they
worked on a state highway without
being guarded, twenty-eight convicts
today enjoyed the freedom of the
grounds about the state penitentiary
here, where some of them were busily
engaged in identifying the grounds.
A number of the honor men, under
the direction of Superintendent Thorn
as F. keegan, who was in charge OF
Camp Hope. were at work today at the
1000 acre state farm near Joliet. All
OF the twenty Eight men were CARRIED
in ordinary laboring clothing, they
worked unguarded, and beyond quiet
reserve, there was little to distinguish
them from ordinary citizens.
The experiment Of placing convicts
at work on the honor system, first
tried out in Illinois by Warden e. M.
Allen of the Joliet penitentiary, marks
the beginning of new creed in the
treatment of criminals. The expert
ment has proved SO successful, after
Ave months thorough test, that
Warden Allen intends to follow the
system on more extensive scale dur
ing next summer.
On September 8, forty-six convicts,
who had made commendable records
within the prison walls, were taken
by Superintendent Keegan, to Camp
Hope. There the men, unguarded,
lived in tents, did their own cooking,
washing, ETC., and put in over 100
days work at improving highway
The road work consisted in cutting
down an almost impossible clay hill
and matchmaking the road
The men worked with q will, al
though their compensation was only
in knowing that they were being trust
ed, even though under sentence in
the state penitentiary. AS a demon
stration of their enthusiasm to make
good, they often requested that they
be permitted to work on Saturday
afternoons, practice forbidden at the
penitentiary. Religious services were
conducted at the camp every Sunda.

BISHOP ISSUES
RULES FOR LENT
Services and Regulations Are Pre-
sented for Members of the
Episcopal Church.

Lent this year will begin Wednes-
day, February 20, and terminate East
er Sunday, April 18th.
The object of lsnt is to provide
period during which members Of the
church are urged to give up ordinary
innocent social amusements and in SO
doing make time for religious reading
and devotion.
1t is also time when faithful mem
bers Of the church are expected to
train themselves by special acts OF
self denial and learn to say NO
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
are days of fasting, all other days Of
Lent are days of some form of special
self denial. Sundays are not includ-
ed in the period, this always being a
feast day
1t is contrary to the discipline of the
church for faithful and deyout com
municants to either give or attend
parties
The season eliminates in Holy
week, when the church follows the
Lord Jesus step by step through the
account Of his passion, and 1t is for
this reason that the observance of
! Lent Is not only time for self disci-
pine but period when the devout
christian studies carefully the light
and teachings of Jesus and seeks
closer conformity to His teachings
and spirit.
/ The lenten fast OF forty days is kept
after the example of Moses, Elias and
above all, of Christ Himself, In order
to prepare the faithful for the Easter
feast, and also of course on account Of
from long period of pennance
There is no mention in scripture OF
the observance of Lent, or indeed, OF
any determined time for fasting among
christians In Acts XVII, 9, st. Paul
and his companions are said to have
put to sea at a dangerous time, viz:
when the fast was already over But
: the fast In view was evidently the one
Jewish fast commanded in the law,
!, that on the day of Atonement. the
tenth of Tisri. At that time the au.
tumnal equinox was past, and, as a
rule, no more sea voyages were under
taken for the season.
: There is, however, proof that Lent
7 in the general sense of fast preeed
g ing Easter, has been known from, OIL
a nearly from, apostolic times.
